Hi, anyone else from Australia here with this phone? Just wondering if you purchase this phone outright, would it work automatically with a new 3G contract? (i.e. no extra setup needed or anything)

Cheers!

    Have had my Z500 for 7 months and was generally pleased with it inspite of some problems mentioned by other people. However, now it has completly frozen and I cannot access anything on the phone. I have heard of this problem with other Samsung phones and was wondering if anyone had had this with the Z500 after they'd had it for a while?

      1) Can it last for twelve hours of music before the battery goes flat?

      2) Can it transfer a 6MB of MP3 file into the phone?

      3) How many MB can take one thousand pictures?

      4) How many MB can record one hour of video recording?

      5) Is the camera very clear?

      6) Does it come with 128MB TransFlash card once i bought this phone?

      7) Is there voice recording?

      8) Is the SMS user-friendly?

      Please tell me more details about this phone which i have not mention it. I saw so many complaints about this phone. Does it comes with cable once i bought this phone?

          Everybody brags about this phone as if its a top of the line machine! I think its cr@p only 1MP camera with a tiny 2x zoom (no flash) too small for 3G & dual camera doesnt mean anything only video calling SO WHAT!
          & its so $$DEAR i dont get it, more expensive than some hi powered 2MP phones that are way better than that ugly thing dont waste your money on the Z500 for my advice!!!

                      I have bought this phone a week ago and have had to charge it every day. I am beginning to hate this phone because of that.

                        to add a photo to your contact you go to 'Contacts' then select the contact you want, then 'Edit' then 'Options' then 'Special Options' then 'Select' Picture

                                  And for those people who have blank photos taken when the phone was in their pockets... just rip the camera key off! :)))

                                      Files (mp3, 3gp) bigger than 6mb, u can send them over bluetooth with a bt usb dongle, but be sure u have some memory free in your phone... then u can move these files to a minisd card, to free up the phone memory. Also in the future look for a version of Mobiledit that will support Samsung z500

                                        I'm still looking for a way to put videos larger than 6mb on. It's really dumb because even on older phones like the D500 can do it. Maybe use an older/newer version of PC Studio?? If you're really desperate, get a friend with a D500 (for example) to put videos on their phone and then bluetooth it across? ;p

                                        Oh, and angela, I had the same problem a while ago. You can go
                                        Menu-Settings-Profiles-Normal-Edit-Message alert tone-Special tone
                                        to select a .mmf file in your
                                        File manager-Sounds-Ringtones
                                        directory. Well, any .mmf file really, regardless of where it is.

                                        To convert .wav files to .mmf (compatible with the Z500), I recommend using Yamaha's "WSC-MA2-Windows version UTF-8". You can get it from the following link:http://smaf-yamaha.com/tools/downloads.html.

                                        To convert .mp3 files into .wav, I recommend using a program like Audacity (Freeware) or Nero Wave Editor. Goodluck.
