z500 is a grate phone.i had the e720 but it isn't that fast just like the z500 anyhow i need to ask some questions....
1. can you change the skin color (bars of the top and bottom of the screen)???
2. is there anyway you could make the volume louder because whenever it rings or use the mp3 the sound or volume isn't that satisfying???
i would appreciate your reply.
thanks

Both me and my husband got the Z500 last week on Vodafone. I'm not yet connected as I'm waiting for my number to be ported so can1t really comment on phone performance but my husband is having probs with the alarm not going off when it should. I told him to take sim and battery out and it fixed it temporarily! I think he's going to get the handset swapped over though as there is obviously a software fault.
Incidentally, the message from Z500 RULES sent on the 13th Aug, What does the code mean and what does it do? Thanks

this is "The Phone"..glad i opted for this one than E730/E720..everything is great.with a memory card slot,i can use this as a fully functional MP3 player..but i have to buy a card first coz d package doesnt hav one..
Mini Cons : No Skins, takes some time to send an SMS..
Advantage over E720/E730/D500 : 3G Phone with secondary VGA Camera, Memory Card, Infrared (over E720/E730), Speakerphone (Over E720)
The video is only 176 X 144 (unlike E720's 352 X 288)..It doesnt have external keys coz it will ruin d design.I find this more appealing than E720 w/ external buttons for MP3.

Still wondering. Somebody should be able to answer this..?
Is it possible to organize during a handsfree phonecall? In other words, can you use the calendar function in the midst of a conversation?

I've had the Z500 for a couple of days now. First impressions are...excellent.
The menu's are a bit quirky, especially if you are used to Nokia, however thats not a reason not to get one!
Its very small for a 3G phone. If you want a good digital camera...buy one...its a phone!
I will post some more feedback once I've used it a bit more. (And also tell you how the battery lasts. So far, its been left on standby and had a couple of calls etc, but the battery is still shows full charge.

The battery life on my Z500 is far from shocking. It easily lasts one day with heavy use, and quite frankly that is good enough for me. With average use it'll last 2 days.
Awesome little phone - it's great!!

Just got the z500 on Orange UK, battery life is similar to other samsung phones I've had in the past, a few days on standby, a few hours talktime.

You must charge for 16 hours like any other cell. Battery life is shocking though. Ardie

I bought my Z500 this afternoon - I do hope that I have not made a bad decision!
I am just wondering if I have to charge it for 16 hours before I can use it? No where does it say that in the book??
Please reply asap!
P.S. Its the weekend!

yes there is a problem with the alarms, the clock jumping back and then after a while returning to correct time could be the cause. im with vodafone and was told could be a software prolem, sent phone back and got replacement handset, see if this bug has been fixed

Both z500 and z300 have qcif video recording, only d600 and e720 is known to have higher resolution. But that's samsung's mistakes to leave such a feature out of those "business" phones.
