It does NOT have a flash! Any flashes on a mobile camera are pretty useless anyway, as you only have a digital viewfinder, so if its pretty dark, you're not going to be able to see what you're trying to snap anyway!
To set an alarm (on an o2 model), you have to go to the organiser. I don't know if you're missing the organiser, but its the 1st option on the o2 model

Does it have a flash? I cant decide between this and the e730. any advice would be great. i really want good pictures, but like the idea of 3G.
Also, what about the e720, what are the major downfalls of that model in comparison to the other 2

hatem, it is currently only out on a contract, but is rumoured to have a PAYG price of around the same as the E720 (£250-£300). On most contracts it is free, although its likely you'll have to pay a smallish fee for an upgrade)
As for the languages, on my O2 version, it includes 18 languages... Its probably best to use an in-store demo version to make sure... Just go to settings, phone settings, languages then choose phone language and look down the list

Speakerphone = yes
Camera = 1MP (1152*864), so if you define that as good, then yes the camera is good, although, if you're after a phone with a noticably better quality, SonyEricsson have a few 2MP ones out / coming out

No problem, Laura :)
The whole idea of the front screen on this phone is a bit strange, they should have had an editable option to keep it on for your own time limit, like the internal screen, or permanently. I was beginning to think that there was no real use for the front screen!
What is quite cool though, is if you hold down the camera button while the phone is closed, you can take a picture of yourself!
Don't you think its stupid that they called the function for answering the phone by flipping it open "Active Folder"?
Also, did anyone else notice, if you dial a number and go to options it says "send messege"??? A typo on a mobile!!!!

Laura, the clock only comes up for a matter of seconds on the front screen. If you wish to look at the time after it has gone and dont have the digital clock on, hold down the volume control button on the left when the phone is closed

Pandora,
You can up the volume by manually editing the MP3. I did that for my E720 also. I amplified the MP3's volume so it is louder. Need to do that as the E720 can't vibrate and ring at the same time while Z500 can.
Hope this helps.

I think I will be sending it back :( if nobody has a solution to the ringtone problem.
It's a shame, because I love it in every other way! Not alot of point in keeping it tho, if you can't hear it, when it's ringing.

Hi, Has anybody managed to make the ringtones/mp3's any louder?
I love this phone, and that is the only downside for me, so far... I'm even worried that I may not hear it some of the time when it rings!
I've tried raising the overall volume of the media player, and obviously the tone volume in the profile.

Andre, It has got a speakerphone.
I got my replacement through, and all my 'problems' had already been sorted by Samsung's (excellent) customer services! I'm gonna send the replacement back as I have already gotten certain configurations sorted with me old one.
My only quibble is, and its probably with all Samsungs, is that you can't directly use MP3's as message tones. You can use them directly as ringing tones, but it can only use MMF files, but there are converters around so it doesn't really matter
