delivered phone five days ago.
features great,well made,neat and tiny,
battery is crap,today it did nine hours with only two two minute calls,this is because its a bad recieving area and it runs battery down, reception is really poor and distorts and drops calls bad.
before i have had a nokia 8100 great,then a 6600 big but top tool.this samsung.overall poor,battery life and signal are a major thing.
its going back.and i`m going back to nokia

I would just like to say how much adore this phone. It's such an amazingly durable handset. I accidently swallowed it the other day and when it passed through me two days later, it was still working perfectly.

I've had this phone for about three weeks now and there are some good point but some very bad points which after a while really wind you up.
I agree with Newcomer, my phone makes it's own mind up whether it wants to wake me up in the morning or not. Some days it alarms, some days it just choses not to. (my boss has the same problem with hers)
I also agree that the texting is fiddley. You have to press the different buttons far to many times just to send a simple text.
The photo and display quality are very good and the phones fetures are excellent.. it's like a mini, hand held computer. You can move files and set up options that I've never been able to do with other phones.
I also agree that the external MP3 controls of the E720 would have been a great idea on the Z500 as to would the flash.
Apparently (or so my local O2 shop tell me) dispite the fact O2 are selling 3G capable phones, the network does not yet support 3G.. which is the stupidest thing I've heard!
So I can't say anything about the video calling quality as I've not tried it. I'd appreciate it if anyone who is on O2 could let me know if they CAN use video calling.. coz that just means that O2 have lied there ass off to me.)
In General though the phone looks great and has some very cool features. It has the latest technology and so you can be sure that in 3 months time everyone will be horrified that they are not able to video call you just because you opted for the E720 rather than this model. The phone in genaral is a good buy and so as long as the above don't really wind you up (they annoy the hell out of me) you will LOVE the Z500.

so true, Alan, so true. The battery life is appalling. I can't believe it only lasts 1 and half days. My last phone could go for six weeks without ever been charged.

ok i've had this phone on Vodafone for over a week now and as a phone its not too bad. Having said that my clock has today lost 20 minutes :( Anyway good points - its small also does 3g, it'll ring and vibrate at the same time, err well its got no external aerial... Bad points - using vodafone live 3g tends to drain the battery, especially downloading film trailers! The font size is just too damm big (are all samsungs like this?) Sending texts requires just to many button presses. Its os isn't the best of designs. One other thing is voda's 3g network itself - unless your within half a mile from the transmitter the signal is rubbish, but at least there is the option in network settings to force the phone only to use 900/1800 networks.
Conclusion - its not a rubbish phone but probally a better choice than a e720, unless you need a flash and external mp3 controls.

sarah - to set alarm go to menu - applications - then with vodaphone highlighted press right navigation key & you will find choice of 3 alarms.
andrei ro - once mp3 player is going you can close phone but no controls whilst closed apart from volume

Hi,
Bought a z500 yesterday on Orange in the UK, and have a couple of questions:
How do you add a word to the t9 dictionary? My old sony erricson had this feature, but can't find it anywhere!
On the vodaphone e720, skin colour can be changed (ie, the bars at the top and bottom of the screen). Currently, mine is set to a dull grey. any way I can change this?
Thanks in advance.
