        I prefer the 2 colour one. Just silver on the sides and the centre black. The one with 2 tones in the centre is kinda weird looking. But that is just me.

        Could anyone post some sample video at maximum resolution and image quality in bright day light and also indoor artificial lighting.

        This site can host video flies :

        www.putfile.com
        or
        www.savefile.com

        I'm kinda interested in this phone but the resolution is kinda disappointing though for video recording. I'm so inlove with my E720's high res video recording (352x288).

            Shazy...

            I have it and it does have loudspeaker........

            D500 slightly better at camera mode for special effects..... Hubby has D500 so i can compare the two.......

            hope this helps

                    *#9998*324#

                    to enter in "Test Mode".

                    To go back in the menu press the # key; to leave Test Mode press the hang-up key

                        access denied please select a different folder?

                        If i can get this to work this phone has everything u need !

                        would have been nice to have kept the external mp3 controls and the flash like on the e720.

                          I think somebody is mistaken! Voda do not have 3G specific SIM cards!! Other networks may but not Voda. The SIM holds the Subscriber Identity, the phone generates the UMTS/WCDMA frequencies. Therefore it is just 3G services (ie Video Calling) that need to be activated for the subscriber account. Very old SIMs may need to be updated because they do not have enough memory not because they are not 3G. If you have 2.5G phone woring now, chances are you will be fine. Anyway, nice phone, will get one for the wife because the Z107 isn't what it should be!

                                international videocalls are alreay possible; if both have 3g fone and UMTS coverage it will work. The operator will charge you the normal voice roaming tariff for now i think.

                                  no 3g sim is not required; besides; as far as I know 3g is an add on which can be placed on every simcard

                                    Hey

                                    I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have recently got the samsung v500, does the video telephone work all over the world? Eg. If i made a call from Australia to UK (both phones are samsung v500) will it work ok?

                                    Thanks for your help.

                                      HI all..

                                      Get mine tomorrow........ so will tell all when i find the bugs that are sure to be there........

                                      Roger..
                                      I'm pretty sure that it's a 1MP and no there isn't a flash..... if you go to the samsung website you can download the user manual in English now which might be helpful to you..

                                        I'm confused about the camera pixels, here it says that is 1MP and on other sites I found it at 1.3MP and 1.2MP, flash included

                                        See links:

                                        http://www.shopforphone.co.uk/samsung-z500.htm

                                        Can anyone tells me it's true specs or were I can find them?

                                        Thank You
