NEC DB500 - User Reviews

  • its 2010 !!!! gawd damn whuz gonna buy such a phone???

  • what an ugly phone

  • I had bought this phone from a car-boot sale last year with it's box an instruction manual, it evan had diferent coloured front covers with it. It was only �3.00 and I think that it is a great phone.

  • i had this phone back in the day and i really liked it i thought i was cool but it was a big phone

  • I used have this phone and remember the phone reset code was *73738# send ,unsure if that resets the dial lock but it does reset everything else :)

  • PEOPLE its now 2006. you cant possibly tell me you like a phone that hasnt even got a colour screen!

  • I think it is the best for making & receiving the calls. I am using it since 2000 But now i put on the dial lock & lost its pasword so i am not able to make calls so I request NEC to send me the method to make my set useful again.Please!

  • Good reception

  • my mum had this phone years back and i still remember the crusty ringtones but anyway now i have the nec e228 god bless nec oh and the thing on top of the phone always snaps it sucked

  • Had one of these when it came out did not really leave any kind of good impression on me. Didnt really have any fetures that I can remember other then call and recieve call. I dropped this phone once and that was enough to break it, the screen stopped working unless I pushed hard on the top of the screen, this made it very difficult and annoying to use. Also the battery is not internal and clipped on the back, not very clever as is kept falling off.

  • If you are looking for a funtional phone with good call quality and simple munus. this is it. not many features to play around with but a good phone nonetheless.
