To everyone asking about switching network settings from 3g to 2g to extend battery this is the procedure.
then change from whatever it is (probably automatic) to GSM 900/1800
I never bought this phone for 3g services. i got it becuase it is the smallest, best looking feature-packed head-turner you can currently get (in my opinion).
The alarm goes of when it feels like it which takes all of the predictablity out of whether or not you will have a job at the end of the week but hey ho, if thats a problem you can always get a traditional alarm clock.
All other features work great. There are better camera phones, better video phones, better mp3 phones but this is a good all-rounder.
in 2-3 years we may be at the point where you can shelve your digi cam, video recorder and Ipod becuase your phone does it all just as well. For now however, the primary function of *my* phone has to be a phone and on that front, the samsung does well. crystal voice quality, loudspeaker function and compact enough to carry anywhere.
Did i also mention it looks the puppy's privates ;)

Had my z500 for few weeks now & I am satisfied with the phone. It has nice features, but there is one disadvantage and that is the battery. It doesn't last very long and I have to keep charging it often. Otherwise a really cool phone!

Had my Z500V for a few months now.
Battery - mine lasts for 2-3 days, just under an hour of calls each day, few texts, and about 1.5-2 hrs of media playing each day. This is using it in GSM mode and the CS mode (disconnecting from GPRS).
Alarm - I think mine is finally sorted. I've tried 4 different firmwares from different operators. Fingers crossed.
Overall, has been a lot of hassle and battery could still be a bit better but for a middle market phone its a good buy.

Hi,Ihave just purchased thesamsung SGH-Z500V
and its a great phone .The only problem is the battery life which is rubbish! Does anyone know of a cure before I return it to Vodafone within the 14 days permitted ?
I have heard that changing it to 2G will do the trick,if so what effect will it have on making calls. Thanks
