  • i work with mobiles and have done for a long time now. I have to say that the D500 was and is the best phone ever. i loved it and still would have one. Love the litte speaker that you got with it.

  • battary

  • It's time to make a large touchscreen phone with a regular sliding keypad! Who cares if the phone will be 20-23mm thick? Until touchscreen interface becomes just as fast as physical key command we need a combo phone!

  • No it can't get whatsapp, its too old. Good phone though.

  • can this fone get whatssapp

  • look on ebay, should find loads

  • Where can i get charger for this mobile??

  • try emailing

  • my samsung D500 is lock and is wrritten on the screen sim lock and want me password. may you help me about this password ?

  • I recently got new computer and I cant get my phone to hook up to it .Is there a site where I can download the drivers ? It is the Samsung D500 which I have no intention of changing but Im unable to get the pics off it . Ive got the usb cable and I cant remember if it came with a driver disk . i think it did but so far all searches have come up nill

  • can somebody remember the video clip was coming within?

  • i have this phone and i downloaded asphalt 4 for it. Good game.website www.umnet.com

  • This phone was the best design, functionality, and speed. Very ahead of its time.

  • This is the best phone I've ever had. Bought in 2005 and (aside from minor glitches which I suspect would be not so minor with other, more recent phones) it's still working smoothly. I don't have any reasons whatsoever to replace it; it has Bluetooth (remember, this was 2005!), an mp3 player, vibrant colour schemes, easy features & interface, quick menu selection, and stylish design (for me, that is). The camera's so-so but it would be great if I could add more memory (only 96 MB, but good by 2005 standards). This phone is a winner.

  • samsung d500 call berring bydefault passworrd is which? give suggession

  • it's the best. but some FEATURES maybe added.radio, memory card and more sms memory.by this features plus 'i never need other phone.i'm using it .but i have problem with power.maybe the battery

  • hahaha

  • Will a d500 take an 8gb sd card?

  • superb fone

  • never try it before

  • I use this phone for almost 6 years with no complain at all and still use it right now, never change battery, never overheat, all program running smoothly, voice very clear, no scratch on the screen even without anti-scratch layer, simple and elegant. Bravo Samsung!

  • A seriously good phone, I've had this for more than 6 years and is still in perfect working condition. Sure it's considered an old model now, but the quality is outstanding. I use this as a back-up phone to my HTC smartphone, and I still use it from time to time.

  • I think they should come up with D500 2 or something like that. Very light and portable phone i ever had.

  • been using tis phone for 7 year.. even thought the camera quality was bad ... i still love tis phone very much

  • Once it was my dream.Then I own it. But technology made me to change it. Still it is the best phone which I ever expirienced. Really nostalgic.Miss it badly.

  • Rock Solid Samsung Mobile. I miss it actually. Very easy to use and never lets you down. Far better than today's smart phones for reliability. Technology just has to move on.....

  • Wow, this is real nostalgie, had it for 2 years . nice one, never let me down!!!! but have changed it to sony erricson K790

  • I had a samsung D500 unit, my problem about my unit (d500) is been set the sound into mute accidentally by my 5years old daugther. so I been using my phone for almost (1) one month without sound so it's hard for me. so what I want to happen if I can have or get a manual instruction through the net. or those anyone knows to fix or help solve my problem. thanks! hoping for any reply and suggestions!

  • Best phone ever! Have been using it for 5 years - no problems!

  • Had this phone for over 2 years. Screen now is malfunctioning because of the slider.

  • The samsung D500 if a very good phone, no question about that, however it has limited features and it's camera quality isn't very clear. That is my main grievance. Thanks

  • Without any doubt the best phone i've ever owned. I,ve been through all samsung's flagship phones since plus the htc range, iphone, nokia n's and many others in my role as a tech expert for a leading bi company. So the d500, Best camera no, maybe 4 years ago Best screen - no Best errrrr nope it's an ancient phone. But, unlike today's phones it does what it says and it works. Every feature works first time and 5 years later it does the biz, more than I can say for i8500's and nokias that have died on me. I'm still using the d500 as my backup phone when the latest and greatest crash and burn.

  • What the hell has "you no know ! D500 in 2004 hahaha" got to do with a review of the phone! Or am I missing the point? Answers on a postage stamp to whoever...

  • i think it is the best fone ever ,i hv usd it for 4 yrs and it is still attractive specially the black .even samsung could not manufacture similar I am a samsung fan ,used it most of the time ,but my d500 still the best.

  • Maybe the best phone i've ever had. Shame that a taxi rider stole it from me as i was very tired

  • is any other fone of samsung which blocks sms incoming

  • I had a d500 samsung mobile before 1 years... Unfortunately, somebody stole it when I asleep deeply without lcking my room....so anybody seen it pls contact me...

  • Amazing Phone, Easy To Use and extremely reliable. Stylish, Good Battery Life and a Great Value for money... A happy customer indeed

  • you no know ! D500 in 2004 hahaha

  • buthooth

  • I bought two of these phones in 2005 and I've loved them! Unfortunately for one of them, its keypad sometimes malfunctions. The other one is perfectly fine and I don't intend on replacing it anytime soon. This phone, though released in 2005, has excellent capabilities, including Bluetooth, Infrared, World Time, Converter, 3 alarm clocks, To Do List, Memo, MP3 player, voice recorder, timer, stopwatch and many more.

  • Its the best phone in the world! I've been using this phone since 2006 and haven't encountered any problems at all!...love it!

  • in 2005 it was the d500 vs w800i vs n70

  • in 2005 is was the d500 vs w800i vs n70

  • hollo I have one D500. but there is a problem: I cant shift my SMSs and contacts to my computer. please help me.

  • hi, i am not sure if you are already in usa but any way, i also have d500 and it works perfect in usa and canada, this phone is the best ever, i would not change it for any thing, its the great, have a great time in usa, my email. [email protected] enjoy usa and d55

  • I am unable to open any MMS? Please advise [email protected]

  • I got this phone given to me for free as the phone I had at the moment was total garbage. When I first got this phone I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I thought wrong. The browser kept on loosing connection the keys were faulty (it was alsmost brand new) and the camera was bad as it kept on wasting my battery, so now the phone won't charge up at all, even though it was brand new at the time (It even smelt of the box it came in!)

  • am yet to try

  • just wondering what usb cable does this phone take as have tried my normal one and doesnt seem to fit

  • yeah thereis one very important thing u need to remember...............BRING YOUR CHARGER!

  • Hi, had the phone for 4 years and works great.How do you set up email, have never used this function? Please email me on [email protected]

  • I've had a D500 since it was launched in South Africa in February about 4 or 5 years ago. I used it till january this year, but only because I needed a quicker more updated internet connection. The phone still works perfectly. No problems with the battery or software. I don't believe Samsung have released a revolutionary phone like this again. I keep mine as a backup phone.

  • if u type *#8999*8378 it brings up hidden menu for the volume

  • This phone was way ahead of it's time it really placed Samsung on the map

I was a Nokia user but after D500 i cant think of buying any set but SAMSUNG. If you are thinking of buying it, you may do so with your eyes closed. No matter how rough you are with the set, it won't disappointing you. Best set ever i guess.

  • The best phone I have ever had. It just died on my now after four years of constant beating and careless usage. The battery was too par all the way to the end. The only downfall is that you can�t copy phonenumbers from the cell too the simcard.

  • Have been using this phone for nearly 5 yrs now and dont remember the number of times it must have fallen down or the number of times it got wet.. Still is running perfectly with each and every feature and part in perfect working order. I dont think a phone to match this ones durability was ever made. As a matter of fact if I get a new one I will buy it imediately..

  • no, virus can't attack this phone not even java midlet

  • one of my best phones it is still alive after almost 4 years and sliding mechanism is still ok and not loose! phone is very responsive and fast in comparison to my brand new nokia n95. i must say - the best phone that i ever used

  • I have been enjoying the phone for the past two years plus now. My question is 'can it be affected by virus or any form of threat if I download song or video through bluetooth or Infra red to it.

  • This Phone Was Good At A point of Time, One Morning I Woke Up The Phone Was Not Coming On I Thought That The Phone Was Dead I Charge It For 1Hr, It Never Came On... I Was Really Disappointed.. I Carry it To The Repair Center And They Said That There Don't Know Want Was The Problem Another Disappointment... Anyway Nokia Is The Best So Peace out.....

  • ya it's good but dosen't support a memory card !!!!

  • You dropped it in a pint and it worked after that? This I cannot believe because in my case it got soaked because of monsoon rains in India and it stopped working. I've had to send it to repairs and it cost me an additional 2000 rupees (EUR 60) on top of the already pricey EUR 300 I had paid for it. Other than that I still love the design, better than many a new phone, a bit thick by todays standards though and neat features except uploading java games (very cumbersome process)

  • awesome phone! i like it!

  • this phone is great!!!!!!!! i love the features specially in mp3 so guyz i advise you to buy one...

  • does its charger fit a samsung e250?

  • This is the worst phone which i have used . The bluetooth and the infrared is not working sometimes. So guys i advice you all not to buy this phone

  • Store it on a computer. Sorry no extra mb on the D500. Through the disc that came with the phone you can transfer data.

  • It's not a samsonite; can handle a rino. Even if u r 17, the D500 will last. But as you are writing it now, it has been out of production which means second hand. What ever happend to the thing before??

  • Save your contact to sim. Isert sim in D880. You can leave the contacts there or upload it to the D880.

  • Throughout all of the phones I've owned, from Motorolas, Nokias, Sony Ericssons, LGs, and the iPhone, the D500 remains my favorite. The design is just sexy and it just was so fun to talk on. If only they could build on this design and release a phone similar to it but with modern features like 4gb+ flash memory, a 3.5mm headphones jack, and the like, I would get it in a heartbeat.

  • i loved this phone i had some good times with it no bad times propa legdend!!!! xx

  • how to transfer contacts from samsung D500 to SGH-D880 a two sim card phone.

  • Stuff of legend by samsung... the specs and design were like innovation at the time when this came out... everybody wanted one and everybody once had one. This phone would remain in the history of mobile phone.

  • best phone i ever owned !! i dropped it in a pint once and when i dried it out it still worked ! beautiful

  • The best phone ever made. The newer once's look nicer. This one quality the #1 in phone's. Would be great if Samsung would take it back in production. I would order it again and again. Worked always, no problems even the 1.3 mp camera gave great pictures.

  • this phone is good for older people because they take care off phones but for younger people it is to fragile ! i am 17 and my phone is already broken and the only thing it works is his camera !!!

  • i bought this 3 years ago in UK from a friend and it's still going strong! it stopped charging when i came to NZ tho, as the phone's socket seems to have broken. however, i bought a universal charger an just remove battery to charge with that now. also the screen has fully cracked so i ripped it off..and it STILL works! hardcore. but 4 sum reason the bluetooth duznt work in new zealand?maybe coz its a uk phone? and does any1 knw where i can buy usb to transfer pics to comp?>plz

  • great phone, bought it second-hand a year ago and it still works! the only problem i have is that sometimes the OK- and the down-key doesn't work so i'm forced to buy a new one..

  • I work in a mobile phone shop, have done for nearly 6 years now and I`ve had and used my SAMSGHD500 for almost 3 years now and never had a days problem, I get a lot of stick from collegues about my ancient handset, but it works well, has a great battery STILL and does what I want it to do, I`m not going to change until it dies, but I have 2 spare batteries stashed away for future use to try and prolong the end, it`ll be a sad day when it does finally give up the ghost.

  • True i agree with Funkymusic_Lucian It wud have been better with a card like the D600

  • this was and still is a great fone. my d500 is 3years old and works still fine and are better then some new fones.

  • you can't expand the phones memory due to the missed card slot part in it.this mobile phone and the D500 series doesn't have a card slot in it.so you can't

  • it's a good mobile phone it's a pity it hasn't card slot :( it had been perfect

  • The D500, this used to be the phone of all phones back in the day 2005 when every had K700i's and 6230's this D500 just stood out in the crowd it did shock everyone with its features of the time to 1.3mp camera and 100mb built in and mp3 playback and those speakers that people used to attach to it its was just a hype and worth it, all the people that owned the D500 that i knew loved it it was a great phone even i would say.

  • Had a same problem with my D500 previously. You have to get someone who knows how to fix it. Must dismentle the phone and replace a tiny little film (dont know what it is ) beneath the keypad. Thereafter it will work fine.

  • My D500 does not work the yes buttin and from the cusser the up and right also does not work.so can i fix it my felf or it needs some expects.thank u

  • I had this phone for a long while and really loved it, now i have an awful nokia N70. samsungs are really good

  • i think this phone is pretty good. i liked the thickness of the slide and i thought that it felt good holding it and opening it. of course, it isn't your sturdiest phone, but it is pretty good if you just use bluetooth and calling. i dropped mine many times so it was messing up on me at the end... but i guess that is normal with all phones. =p

  • I love this phone. It was given to me as a gift 2 years ago and still still works like new. I hav no problems with my phone.

  • I have had this phone for 1year now and still working great!it's the best phone I ever had! Tanks Samsung

  • i had this phone for more than 2 years now, and its still working perfectly, dropped it hard 2 times and still, not even a single scratch, how good was that..??? too bad, the keys are now not as sensitive as when it was new, gotta press it hard to make them work (its killin me when i'm texting or navigating this phone), probably because the last drop.. but overall, great phone, not the best of camera or music player, but again, nice design n look, good features, and of course, very outstanding durability...=) @heelys6 the standart password for this phone is written down on the manual book, u definitely will find it there...

  • I have the D500 hand me down, It's a great little phone,excellent.

  • This fone must be one of the most horrible phones I bought! It has a terrible MP3 player, terrible browser, no FM radio, no Memory Slot, and I spent nearly $64 changing the Ribbon 2 times! I regret buying this fone when it was released and could've put in another $30 and bought a N6230i, which is MUCH MUCH better!

  • hi there.May i know the standard password for this phone.Hope u guys can help

  • karren is right..i have this phone 2 years and it's still the best phone i ever had.. good job samsung!!!!!

  • the most unbreakable fone. had it thrown over for three floors, bounced over and over, had been stepped on and all, but hey! the fone is still working and is forevre alive and in good shape... i so so love this fone. its been with me for two years now. long live d500.

  • I have had one of these for 2 years and it is the best phone that I have owned. I upgraded to the newer version and ended up selling that and returning to my trusty 500. A great phone, long battery life and just the right weight with a great sliding action.

  • BEST FONE had it for 2 years and has not broken (even been thrown against walls)

  • I have had mine for two years and, in my opinion, its the best, tightest bundle there is. Correct weight and fits beautifully in the palm of my hand. The sliding action of this phone is engineering art. No fumbling as in the clam shell. Navigation is logical and is quick to master. 1.3megapix camera still does the trick for reference shots. I drowned it accidentally in VB(Australian beer)one hot morning and thought I had killed it. Panic naturally set in as I thought of the time consuming consequences losing all those numbers would bring about. Now I have A Motorola v9....and miss my D500 terribly.

  • i bought mine in london in 2005 and still using the phone till now. just a few minor scratches but this phone is great and love it very much.

  • I love this phone.Had mine 2 years ago and its still in tip top shape.Just a few minor scratches but durability wise... its one of the best.

  • I have had this phone for 3 years now and it's simply UN-BE-LIEVE-ABLE

  • hi pipol! wud lyk to ask how to use/activate the speaker fon of the d500. i don't hav the user manual wid me. thanx...

  • the design of this fone is fashionable and nice.. but the problem that i encounter is that the fone can't accept .jar / .jav application.. another thing is that it can't accept wav file.. pls. to those who are using this fone.. email me if you are experiencing this problem also..

  • best fone iv had by far, wouldnt mind the up grand to the samsung D600.

  • i had this phone for almost 4 years, and it works really nice. the features are so fashionable, and it looks so cool. i can't hang around with my friends without bringing this phone. I really love it.. but i want another pohne right now. It want something that is more on features and memory. thanksss so much..... i had a great experience with this phone. its fashionable!

  • @ ViegoCR okay,i had this phone and as a phone to get after it goes... DEFINATLY get the samsung U600. brilliant phone ckeck it out o this site i have written loadz about it except its under the name pinkblaze highly recommend both samsung U600 and D500!!

  • I've had this phone for a year and it's a nice phone, pretty and works really nice, but there are new phones with more features than this, i had a nice experience with it but now i want another one with a better resolution and more memory. Actually this model has already been discontinued in my country.

  • I had this phone since December 2005 and now I don't have it. Got stolen this weekend...sucks! I can say it's been the greatest phone I've ever had. I've tried many other brands: Motorola, Nokia, LG, Siemens, etc and none have performed as the Samsung SGH-D500. Now I have to buy a new phone and I will stick with Samsung. My main problem now is finding one that will be as good or better that the D500. Looking into the D900, U600 and U700.

  • its a good phone but it does have problems .. i dropped it so often that the display screen got stuffed .. cost me like 100 dollars to fix it .. so i wouldnt say its the best phone but its a good phone

  • I've had this phone since March 2005, and it's still running like brand new. I've dropped it SOOOOO many times, and it still works fine. I was even twirling it on my finger via the wrist strap, the strap breaks, and my phone goes flying a good 10-15 feet and tubles to a halt on the cement with no issues. Very durable. The screen only now is getting tiny scratches from my coin pocket, but it doesn't mess with the visibility of the screen. I've been using it in the USA as well, and my overall reception is awesome. I just newly acquired a k800i so this phone is going in the back up phone box. It'll be missed, but it was time for something new. I would suggest this phone to anyone. It's great, and really lasts over the years.

  • is the best phone ever had no prob and now its gone and im sad.

  • People are right when they say this phone is almost indestructable. i've had this phone for 3 years and dropped it on concrete floors and hit it on hard objects so many times but there's barely even a scratch! i've never had a problem with this phone. the only problem i've had is with my stupid phone company. for those of you who do have problems with it, its probably a defect or something must have happened to it....but i love this phone so much, i don't know what new phone i can get to replace it...

  • Bought one when they just came out. Fantastic phone. Never had any problem. Still going stroung. Highly recommend.

  • ELLA- can i just say...seeing as you phone is thrord hand...no wonder its so samshed up! its not samsungs falut the buttons dotn work and the spring is broken! it must of SERIOSLY smashed around to break it like that! D500 is an incredibly strong phone so dont put a downer on it just because you got a crap one!!!

  • ROGER-oh my god! okay this is what happned to me and im really sorry to say this but its broken! sorry!!!

  • my phone wont turn on properly i can charge it but its just white can anyone tell me whats wrong

  • The phone is stuffed up the battery cant run for long you have to charge it like every second day and it can't vibrate it can only vibrate then melody or just vibration which sucks you can't have them both together the camera sucks too

  • mi dad bought it in 2005, and ive had it 4 ages, and it is INDISTRUCTIBLE! i DONT ACTUALLY CARE IF PPL step on it because it will not BREAK! lol

  • Been having this phone for 3yrs now gave me problem with battery within a year had to buy another battery.But now it's fine what I want to know is how to send emails from it.

  • it's a very good phone but mine is not functioning right now do yo know what's the problem when it wont start or open. It hangs on the first screen when you open it tnx

  • I've had this phone ever since it came out and it's surviving it's countless drops very well. The best phone that I've had so far. Although one button (the up one) is failing and the pic quality isn't tops (but is reasonable).

  • Wow, its a lovely phone en i had it 4 2yrs

  • I've had this phone since the day it came out, I must admit it is the BEST phone I have ever had, its outlived many of my other phones, including K750i, N73. I usually carry two phones, one for multimedia, pictures etc and one for phoning and txting (the grafting phone) and its the D500 that i've used and its never once let me down, been droped, soaked and smaked yet it still works as new, in my opinion it is one of the greatest phones made

  • I love this phone had it for about two years and it has never failed me, threw it down repeatedly and it still works well. The only problem is the quality of the camera pics. Other than that it is a great phone

  • I have used this phone for two years. I loved it. The only bad thing about this phone is its camera. The pictures arenot good at all.

  • Good features, but two drawbacks for me. Camera quality is poor and keys poorly laid out. Battery life good, excellant music with external plug in speaker. Also another problem is the converter function---only converts to US gallons and US miles etc not UK Imperial units. Since this is sold in UK why can they not get British units not US??

  • ive had dis phn 4 a yr now n im realy satisfied wid it.but it has sum drawbacks- 1.no zoom in sxga(1280*1024) n mega(1152*864) camera modes. 2.no fm radio(howevr,at that time few mobiles had fm). 3.no xpandable memory. 4.screensaver circuits r visible on da screen on light colored background. othrwis its surely 1 of da best mobiles in da world.i recommend it 4 evry1.

  • hey guys, i like to know how to download java games to my samsung d500. tnx

  • Can any one tell me that how to do fast forward and fast fast rewined for songs . I can do fast forward and fast fast rewined for videos but cant for songs need help thanks

  • The phone design is really attractive. But there are a few known issues with this phone. LCD screen will flip upside down sometime, and PC Studio 3 that comes with the phone doesn't really work(it's true, do a google search). Also the battery will only last about 1 hour of talk time. I've two batteries, both of them will only last about 1 hour of talk time.

  • this mobile is amazing. i got given it second hand and has it for a year and the previous owner had t for 2 years and it was excellent. -suberb sound -you can also get a speaker which makes it very load! -camera is ok,2 mp would be better but it was good -if you are looking for a phone with good memerory dont hesitate with this phone because it doesnt have a memory card because the memory is suprisingly large. i coulg holdover 100 pictures, about 20 vidios and i managed 21 songs once! average amount is about 15-20 though. -battery is also very good i would definatly reccomend this phone you will seriously be missing out otherwise!!! good luck xxx

  • i jus got this phone not its an ok phone but i wanted something with alot more features but money was kinda tite. This is a good phone for the cost.However i have a problem downloaded anything from my pc to the phone wen using the usb cable i always get this msg USB Device No Recognized does any one else have this problem it is driving me nuts!!! please help me i suspect i have 2 get the driver for it to work but i cant seem to find it nowhere on the net SOS!!!

  • i want 2 hav dis fone.but tell me can i watch full screen vdos in it?plzz

  • i've had my fare share of phones but this is "the phone"..g.u.i interface excellent. sound quality wonderfull, oh storage superb. there is just one flaw it tends to be a bit slow some times.

  • i have had this phone over 2 years, features are good the sturdyness of the casing is excellent as you are likely to drop mobiles unfortuantely it is rather slow when i want to cancel a call it wont always stop the call so i have to press the coloured button and close the slider to reinforce the command. i absolutely hate the software they used for the phone nokia is way better than this. on the whole a good alround phone but with a couple of issues, but i'm looking to upgrade now.

  • It's a dynamic friendly user. You find almost all what you are looking for.

  • Best phone ever !!!

  • Legendary! After 3 years is still kicking strong. Not once has it shown the least stability issue. Battery has to be recharged every 3 days now, but that seems to be the standard for new cellphones. Screen is still as excellent as a TFT can be. If you're tight on budget and can buy a used one of these, buy it. Consider the cost of changing the battery though, 3 years is a long time.

  • i have that phone for an year and a half.it's really good.the only problem is with the camera.i don't like the quality.

  • Have been a Nokia user. I have been using this phone for almost 2 years now (time for an upgrade, huh?). Some things about Samsung: 1] this phone is about 85-90% similar to Nokia phones on user friendliness 2] Nokia is better for SMS, hands down. Keys are not as good and slow to respond. 3] Battery is still holding up after all these years unlike Nokia (~1 year only, time to change). The only gripe I have are the keys; quite small and spaced close together and now, have to press a bit harder and longer. Maybe due to wear and tear. But the unit is impressively sturdy!

  • Steve: If you click on the contact that you want to switch to phone/sim whichever, there should be an option "copy to" from where you can either choose phone, or sim. To the other person yes, you can put new ringtones on it. I've had this phone for almost a year now, and its not bad, its just not really good. The screens dont fully go away when you change to another screen. Like, the screensaver (time, date and a lock picture) stay in the background of the phone screen at all times, so you can see them faintly when you're writing a message etc. Also the camera is bad. It can not be 1.3mps. I wouldn't buy it now after knowing what it's like. Go sony ericcson.

  • overall very good fone, but i have started facing keypad problems. mostly while using the navigantional buttons. i have it for 8months.

  • Only downside is the poor camera quality. Nice and simple phone. Easy to use. In my opinion, the D500 is better than the D600

  • is a very beutiful and with a very good cam.

  • the fone is cool but the ringers suck a$$!!can u put new ones?

  • omg how do i put music on it every time i connect it to a computer it say connected what should i do

  • Does anyone know how to save "Contacts"/phone numbers from the phone to your SIM card? Only saves from SIM to phone. Please mail me.

  • ANIMATED WALLPAPERS

  • I have to say I was always a nokia person, but the more advanced they get the more they seem to freeze, this phone has been great. It's simple, reliable andthe battery lasts ages. Like with just about all phones, the main thing is to not fill them up too much with stuff, otherwise they start slowing down and stuffing up.

  • i can say just this:samsung d-500 is a fantastic mobile

  • Imagene D5,it is a good fone I like it a lot with big memory so you can store anything you want,yes I like it.

  • imagene d5,it is a good fone i like it a lot with big memory so you can store anything you want,yes i like it.

  • my mum use this phone... I dunno how to describe.. Its like perfect... except for the internal storage.. The sound and the camera are great... Also equipped with the infrared and bluetooth... very nice.. hohoho..

  • excellent phone, excellent quality, had 2 of these babies for 2 years, had no faults. I even about a music adapter for this and the sound is GREAT!

  • i bought this phone 2 yrs ago. now the keyboard is starting to be less sensitive and laggy. sometimes i have to press the same button thrice before the letter appears. and sometimes freezes all of a sudden until i have to remove the battery and put it back again. geez, the phone ages.

  • The phone is good and can download software and apps. I've had it 2 years. camera is pretty good for a 1.3mp. I like it

  • this fone sucks man!!! lemme start n u ll know why... first of all theres no card support. then its camera is nothing compared to other cameras n the pics are so dull that even VGA pics are better looking... then u cannot install any softwares or games from outside... u cannot see vedios in full screen mode... wats more u also cannot view photos of large size... the ringtones r very low n also theres no vibrations along with it.. man i hv been using this fone for 2 years n if u take my advice its a complete NO NO...

  • jisis wat a phone... i got mine 2yrs ago and it stil wrks like dream... the 1 hour video recordin comes in handy, wen i pic up sluts from club hahahah......

  • my sis has one of these and sehe just want to throw the fone away she says she loves my phone and that the D500 does not work like mine and that it is a crap phone and it cant take a memory card that is to old fasion samsung mekes cool phones but that one is just not oky

  • i bought a d500 some months ago.it was cool at first but slowly things began to unravel.the camera resolution was horrible,i couldn't believe that samsung could produce such a phone of extreme low quality.it may say 1.3MP,but i looks like vga.the keypad is terrible,seizing for days.

  • I own D500 going for 2 years now, all of a sudden it stopped downloading using bluetooth, it cannot connect at all, I have dropped it few times but nothing visible damaged, except that when trying to connect it fails or if another phone is searching for my phone they cannot find it. Pls help anyone

  • hey i had this phone for a few years now then i got a nokia 6280 thats when i realized the fone battery life was a bit short and the camera was horrible. after my 6280 was stolen by some guy i wish should be dead i was forced to use this again and it was still working fine!! so it is very sturdy and won't go down easily but i realy have a hard time wid the battery life and the camera so i will buy a n5300 but this is a great fone if you are not too keen on specs

  • i have this phone for 2 months.it has great 1.3 camera.his battery is very big. d500 is original .buy it now!

  • i know its old now but i just love this phone!! i want one with more features, more up to date but am just so reluctant to part with it. the memory is great, sound and picture quality better than u would think.. such a good phone!

  • nice to have it, excellent

  • its cool but it should have some more features to make it better

  • awesome, awesome, awesome!!! in case you didnt get that awesome!

  • Hi guys i think samsung has lost some ground on the nokia n-series.

  • For those questions of connecting,the awnser is dont use the cable its to much hasstles,rather use a usb blootooth dongle.

  • Ive used the d500 for over two years,and I will not part with it either,I have Four other phones but this one stays the best.Its also one of the toughest phones ever built with colour screen and camera,its been thrown around,fallen and not once has it broke.Thats what I call A PHONE....

  • Owned the phone since 2005. Would never go back to Nokias. For those that want an easy phone to call and text, I recommend it 100%. Very sleek design. People that are complaining that it's too big, need to wake up themselves. Issue with blank and then fuzzy screen is caused due to faulty ribbon.

  • I have a D500. What you have to do to connect to the Comp is have a Samsung USB Cable and then go to Samsung.com's Support section, find the software for D500, download, install, and restart comp. Try it then, it might work. Works fine for me.

  • i think that the d 500 is great to use but sometimes i do have a bit of trouble with it. whene i switch it on it always goes back off. it takes me normally about 5 minuites to turn it on. but appart from that i think that it is really good. i only got the phone because of the slidey part cause it is really fastenating. thanx for reading my opinoin all you people out there.

  • the d500 is great. but the thing i need to know is can i get ma usb to work i installed everything and i put the usb in but nofin works. thank u. can som 1 answer this question for me plz

  • I think this is a great wee phone!Has loads of memory, Iv never had any problems with it. The only down side is that its a bit bulky.

  • i have a problem with my d500 phone it switchs on ok but wen i switch it on it goes all fuzzy does anyone know what i coukd do plz

  • It's a good phone. does all i want it to do but it's been two months now and the screen just went blank, i.e. it shows a white blank screen. Sometimes it would come back to normal, but for now it shows the white blank screen I went to a phone dealer near me and he says i need a screen and a flex cable but they don't have in stock, so right now i with my white blank screened phone waiting for a screen and flex cable. other than that its a good phone to have for music, phonebook contacts and games.

  • hw do u gt "w"up on the screen wen u wnt to unlok it? thnkx

  • What must I do if the top of the screen went white? I didn't drop it.

  • I also started with this phone, it was very cute for about a year, then I dropped it and the entire navy-pad went wonky, then I dropped it again and the navy pad worked again, but the top of the screen went white! So, while I know that it was my fault that it dropped, what if next time, somebody left it somewhere and a cat knocked it over? Then you need to fork out alot of money to fix it, and in South Africa, parts aren't exactly abundant. Anyway, some advice, get a phone sock, or one of those covers that you can buy.

  • I bought this phone around October 2006 and I have had no problems with it at all. I can use every feature on the phone without any hassle.

  • By all means my Samsung D500 has been good to me ever since I first bought it in Oct 2005 it was one of the first types with a slide. However, after owning many samsung phones through the years, there is no doubt in my mind they are unreliable, very breakable phones, this one is no exception. The other day after one and a half years, the vibrating mechanism has broken. There are many small functional operations when using the phone which I don't like also - such as the RINGTONE AND THE VIBRATION cannot work at the same time i.e. in sync. Also writing sms's could be alot more user friendly. The front screen is very easy to scratch. It's a chunky phone compared to others. And you cannot use your own msg alert tones. Apart from that it has been alround good. I am in the market for a new phone now and I think i will look elsewhere other than samsung perhaps a nokia or the new lg kg80 chocolate phone which has a touch screen.

NB: plse note that having researched repairing/cleaning the mobile, they say that no repair shop wants to take this phone apart as it often does not go back together easily. Samsung-what a brilliant phone.

  • I like this phone a lot! I take very good care of it, but after about 6 months, the screen just went BLANK, everything seems to be working if you remember how to go as far as redial etc. But the screen is just white, I can't send it in anywhere in US b/c it is an Europe phone. The only place i found that would fix it is in UK and they need me to call them for verification which I'm not about to make an international call on a support line which will end up cost me more than the phone. So I'm stuck! Please help if you know the solution to this problem.

And to transfer things to your computer you either need a bluetooth dongle, or the USB that goes into the phone.

Its awesome. i havent had any of the trouble that people here seem to, with wallpapers not being available, the photos and camera are awesome, the slider is smooth, the volume is fine, if anything, its LOUD! and for the people who are having battery problems, the lady at the shop told me that it needs to be charged for 12 hours straight before you turn it on, as this will maintain the battery life. so i wonder if everyone has done this. i did, its been a day, and the battery level still hasnt gone down :) @ joolz i think it was, you can turn off the T9 predictive text.. i hate it too.

  • i want to buy this phone,tell me please is he good??? thanks

  • great phone, had it 18 months, but just started with a few problems. -the phone keeps crashing ALL the time and restarting itsself. -where the time and lock for the screensaver come on, this has burnt into the display on my phone and now is constantly visible, whether on screensaver or not. -once i have taken photos, some are not viewable in the photo album, they just come up as a black screen. can anybody help me on how to stop any of these please??

  • Buy a bluetooth !!! its better than cable!!!

  • can you use mp3's as ringtones? thanks

  • 2GCc: Yes you have voice recording (memos) No You can't use 'em as a ringtone. ____________ Adrian: Definately Can't figure out how your phone would compose a text, dial a number and hit "send". If it's under warranty, call samsung. If not, throw it against a wall, pretty sure it will stop sending random sms. ____________ Keith: with the usb cable usually comes a software along with usb driver. If you dont have one, check on ebay (very cheap) or download it on limewire... I use EasyStudio.

  • I have a samsung D500 usb cable.Can you tell me how to download information so I be able to use it please. Thankyou Regards Keith

  • PLEASE HELP mine keeps sending text messages randomly by itself but i dont know who to and i cant fix it!

  • does this mobile have voice recording? and, if so, can you use the recordings as your ringtones? thanx

  • can any body help me to give model same as D500 with FM radio.

  • Call Samsung or check on e-bay

  • I bought this phone 1 year ago and I can tell it's worth the 360.US I paid back then. Even though it only has 96mb of embedded memory, it is enough for everyday use, need more? Buy a computer. Yes, you can play sound files and mp3's without the external speaker. Yes you can playback video files as long as you've converted them in G3P format(i suggest you either buy a usb dongle or the data xfer cable) Camera (video & pictures + flash (white led))works good as long as you dont expect to film bed bugs mating. No, you cant record a conversation The screen is big and clear enough to not complain. Battery life' cant tell but still working after 1 year, speaking average: 1 hour per day and 500 sms per month. I charge it once per 2 days. I believe it is safe to activate gprs, i did, but i dont use it often. Answer to Kellie: THIS PHONE HAS A SNOOZE! Hitting "ok" will probably turn your alarm off but using the side buttons will make it ring again in 5 minutes. (must mention that the 5 melodies are very bad and you cant change them) I love the "slide style" and to me, only thing i wish i had on this phone is the 850 mhz band which gives (at least in quebec (CAN)) a better reception indoor (especially in basements) Overall, voting results are not exagerated and if you take care of that piece of technology, it's gonna last long. Ps: Keep an eye on the "protective cap" you removed when you charge the D500 because it is veeeery small, you lost it? Well, you can always try to find it with the 50 megapixel phone you just bought ��� // I hope that this critic was constructive and my english comprehensive.

  • can i possibly record a conversation with another party using this unit?

  • this is a great phone, works amazingly, my favourite phone so far...up until it broke. This phone crashes on me on an almost daily basis, the up and down button periodically need an incredibly hard press to operate, the regular earpiece has gone entirely and has left me using the loudspeaker attachment whenever anyone calls me, if i need to make a call i go to a phonebox. DO NOT BUY!

  • hey i would just 1 important is it safe to activate the gprs in th SGh D500

  • I have nothing but good words for the D500 i've had my phone for over 12 months and has performed without fault, never even got near the half way point of the memory. Im on the lookout for a new phone now it will be Samsung again and i think im will just get another D500 you can't go wrong.

  • Hey, Jeff! I got Samsung D500 about 1 year and I have only nice things to say about this phone. For 1 second I didn`t think to change this mobile phone for some other. The gratest thing about it is 96 MB of shared memory. It`s huge memory...never to get end. I adore this phone. And it`s great looking mobile phone. I think you will be very satisfied with it if you buy it. It`s only deficiency is that is not 3G, but if you ask me, it`s not some deficiency.My opinion...GREAT MOBILE PHONE!!!

  • hello, i soon to purchasing a new cell phone but cannot decide wether to get a d500 or a e730. Ive heard that both of these are generally the same...i was wondering if i could get someone elses opionion maybe from someone who has used both of these phones for more information thanks

  • For the person who said that the E370 was cheaper - I don't actually think that it is. On most webites that I have looked on it is more expensive than the D500 and I do not think that the spec is as good. Fair enough, it is newer and possibly smaller but I am still not convinced that it is better than the D500. I am amazed that this phone has been out for nearly two years - it is still cutting edge technology in August 2006. Even though the D600 has expandable memory, better camera and screen, I believe that the D500 may still be a better phone. A few riends who have got the D600 as a free upgrade replacement to the D500 were quite disapointed. Overall, the D500 is a fabulous phone with excellent quality camera and video. I was so astounded when I saw the quality of these when I saw them on my friend's phone that I have ordered one for myself! I cannot wait to recieve it - I already know that t is miles better than both of my old phones put together (and they were both - especially my firs one - very state of the art when I got them!).

  • I am just about to buy one of these phones and am really excited! I have found it on offer at The Link - very pleased my old phone broke at the right time ;) I cannot beleive that it is two years old already! I have been browsing various websites and reading lots of reviews and found that on some sites it is more EXPENSIVE than the new D600 when many claim not to be as good. have really high expectations for this phone and cannot wait for it to come! :D

  • hey my keypad on the phone doesnt work.only the on and off button works.is it possible that something is not hooked up right or what?any information or input would be truly appreciated thanks!

  • this is one of the best phones around at the moment.it has some of the greatest accessories and huge memory.i have this phone at the moment and i am not willing to change it just yet.

  • actually it's one of the phone that i admire so much before i got one. the sounds are good, just enough memory to enjoy some music, and it looks cool everytime i slide the phone to answer a call. but can anyone help me with my dilema... my downloaded pictures are a bit color distorted and a bit blurry, and when i use the camera, the picture looks dark, and when i adjust the brightness, it doesn't look good. tnx

  • overall this handset is a good mobile here are the pros n cons : - pros - easy to use nice camera features (very fun!) average sound system sound settings - cons - no memory slot - only holds bout 20 songs ! bit bulky compared to d600 and d800 not very smooth slider cant multi task whilst playing a song (BUMMER!) boring games after a while overall - its a good quality phone but yes its true that u will deffinatly get bored of it !! i got it only bout a week ago - im grateful as my old set broke and i got this free from contract but im bored already :| im lookin at the new coming phone with bit more excitement now possibly sony ericsson WaLkMaN phones :D:D

  • Okay, I bought this phone unlocked 3 months ago and I love it! The problem is that I cannot access all the features. I can't send MMS messages, establish a functional email account or access my WAP browser. If you have this phone and Cingular as a service provider, please email me. I could really use the feedback. Also, if anybody has a good reference for a Bluetooth headsset for this phone, I'd love to know about it. I tried the Samsung WEP-150 and was not impressed. Thanks!

  • This phone looks great but to be honest i dont think its really worth the money! i was playing around with my friends' d500 and it jst seemed like a boring phone, it wasnt even tht easy to use... i think i'll get the e370 since it looks quite similar and is wayy cheaper and new :D

  • actually i really like samsung phones specially d500 and d600..but the phone cost you so much thats why i am in favor of buying of moto and sony ericsson...

  • Well it is my birthday in a few days,and my main present is actually the d500,i wasnt very pleased when i found out.But now am very pleased with the phone my parents chose for me because it is extremly easy to use and exellent for me:D

  • can i install softwares(like smart movie player)on my mobile

  • I have this mob one year and I'm very satisfaid. Great mob.

  • How do I transfer address book/ Contact list to my SIM. I've saved numbers in phone

  • I'm going to get a Samsung D500 in a few hours and i cant wait! All of my friends have them and i think that they are GREAT! I would tell all of my friends to get one anyday! Do you get that little speaker with it? The one that you attach from the outside? Ta

  • i like them

  • can sum1 tel me the difference between the samsung d500 and e370?!? am totaly confused!

  • great phone. although i am not too great a fan of Samsung and LG, but the D500 and D820i phones are great. the D500 works well with a Mac aswell and wonderfully with OnSync, as seen at www.macandmobile.com i am looking for someone who HAS used the D820i with a Mac

  • i just order a new samsung d500 and they r wicked my friend had 1 it was total cool

  • Predictive text is rubbish.... number of times I have to spell a word and save it, only to have to do so the next time is ridiculous. Found the ring tones limited and downloads do not sound too good on it. Limited skin colours. Good points are length of text you can send, slide design and graphics.

  • i just bought the d500 and it is by far a better phone then my last one the nokia 6111.

  • good phone..but can anyone tell me how i can install games to my samsung d500 from my PC. i have tried by using the softpick software but i was not able to do it & its not a free software also.

  • frankly speaking, if we campare d500 with all other sets in market it is the best

  • Honestly, do not try them. Do not even think about it. I've owned a Samsung D500.. When I got it I thought it was brilliant. The bottom line is their phones are cheap Korean merchandise with a top dollar price tag. My D500 for example.. About 9 months of use and the sliding mechanism has gone to hell. It's jerky and takes effort to actually push back into place. I used a brand new one last week and when I felt the difference I was shocked at how much it had deteriorated. Samsung plastic is also the most budget corner-cut material I've ever used. It's so prone to scratches that I have more marks on my 9-month d500 than on the nokia 3310 I used for 3 years during highschool. Now that's saying something. Samsung screens likewise are complete junk. They have very poor refresh rates and if you stare carefully at them you'll notice they fade in and out of minor blurs.. Maybe not an issue to some but compared to a quality Motorola screen they're far from solid. Also the quality of the screen is about as low as the body of the phone. Now, if you don't believe a word I've said then fine. But in all honesty, I recommend to everyone, if you are the type of person who wants to get good long use out of your phone then you should stay clear of Samsung. If you're the type of person who has a new phone every 3 months on the other hand, they're perfect for you. I'll leave you with this last note.. In the OFFICIAL SAMSUNG WARRANTY fine print it says that damage to the phone due to 'Everyday wear and tear' and 'Excessive use' is not covered. I am not lying, look it up yourself. USING YOUR SAMSUNG PHONE VOIDS THE WARRANTY! How's that for a nice joke?

  • Can anyone tell me if there is a setting on the D500 that will keep the predictive text on all the time

  • this is a brilliant phone.i've had it for about a year now and it's held my tracks, pics etc decently...however, very recently, the screen goes a weird darkish purple shade after a while on standby (i've also noticed some multicoloured dots at the top edge of the screen when this happens; they then disappear when i switch off the phone and switch it back on again)...

  • hi people i need to buy a new phone soon as my current handset is practically falling to pieces! I've decided that i'll try a samsung mobile instaed of another nokia. Could anyone tell me which would you consider to be the better phone, D500 or D600. Any advice would be greately appreciated. Please email me

  • @Marcus - Mobile phone insurance will not cover you for a warranty issue or wear and tear. You should pursue the warranty through your provider, rather than direct to Samsung, this way they may be more willing to help you, if you are within the year's warranty

  • you need a USB data cable, its an optional extra. The USB cable plug is located on the right hand side of the phone, its a little black thing that slides down. hope this helps cya

  • Hi I've had my e500 for about 6 months and its fab, but I just wondered if anyone knows how to copy your phonebook from your phone to your sim. I have gone into address book then management but then it only gives me the option to copy to the phone4 not from it> Help

  • Hey !! its been a year since i've bought the D500..beautiful with great features, very nice colors , easy menu etc... just perfect... but 2 months ago some lines appeared on the screen and it was working very slowly... now after i have repair it, the screen is upside down and black&white. the problem is the slide up... mobile phones with slide up and doors are problematic.. even though i love it,im very confused if i should buy something else instead of fixing it again.. the good thing is that the warranty hasnt expired yet !

  • I have had this phone for 6 months and its been a lot of trouble. I liked the phone but Samsungs warranty is poor and takes forever to get a answer which is usually a month or more without a phone. And then you get a answer that warranty is not applicable due to normal wear and tear? I liked this phone a lot till it started to play up and I had to deal with Samsung it seems they just dont care or have a standard format of deny, deny, deny. If you go for this phone then make sure you have good phone insurance you are going to need it. Very dissapointing and will be going back to a Noikia.

  • hello, would love to buy this phone !! does anyone know the battery lifetime ? how long is it standby ? (in normal use)

  • I freakin love this phone bcoz of all its features and space. But weakpoints do surface: 1-You can't select which memory (sim or phone) where you want to store/show your contacts in the phonebook. So when u copy from phone to sim (or v.v)it will show that contact twice. 2-You cannot download more than 1mb at once from the net, this is down! 3-You cannot buy a larger memory card for this phone, more down!! But al and all a great phone!!

  • I have a problem with my Samsung D500 - every time I slide the phone open - the LCD looks white-ish; as if the cellphone has been dropped in water or has been dropped. When I close the cellphone(slide it down) the screen returns to normal (LCD fine again). What is the cause of this? If it is a big problem - will the LCD eventually fade and switch off and need to be replaced? Thanks in advance.

Which is the best in business with maximum MP after D 820 of SAMSUNG which just 1.3. thanks

  • i think any drawbacks on this phones are minor like 'when you enter the java menu a tune plays' personally i think anyone who makes this their 2nd choise of phone because of this leads a very sad life

  • Hey i jus bought this phone an its slamming. it caught my eye as soon as i saw it an now i got it. the only ting that i see is needed is to be able to use ur own ringtones for messages but other than that it's greatttt.

  • Does the Mobile Have a memory card slot...

  • i love it it's great, the best phone i ever had! and i've had them all!!

  • does anyone know if the d500 will work with a tv cable? so you can watch movies etc on tv like the d600??

  • I have had an absolutely terrible exerience with this phone! Was so excited to get it, then upper keypad broke after 3 weeks. (The plastic sheet underneath that recieves keypress). Had it fixed under warranty. Recently the "up" button's plastic sheet broke and now it's out of warranty and they won't fix it for free. Costs a fortune to fix so i've got no up button. Software crashes all the time, if I connect to the net then exit then connect again it crashes! Mp3 quality is terrible, headphones distort from 3/4 volume! Video framerate is awful, maybe 10fps in low light conditions? This phone is a sham...it has the features but they're badly implemented. The camera is nice though, and system is fast. But loaded with software issues!

  • i gt this phone for my confirmation and its great......best mobile phone about i recomend this phone to anyone andevery one.....!!!!!!!

  • LAURA thanks, i found the option but does it only block messages? i tested it out with my home phone - i put that number on my block list and gave my cell a call but the call still went through. do you know if there's a way to block calls too? i think this option is only for messages... thanks for your help though!

  • The Samsung D500 is a brilliant Handset, the quality that Samsung Electronics have put into it are satisfying. I have had this Handset for 12 Months and so far is one of the best that I have had. There is only one problem I find with this Handset is that the Volume is utterly shite! When listening to an MP3 it is great, but if you set an MP3 as a ringtone it is very difficult to hear! I have never had a problem with Network Coverage either!

  • My Samsung D500 came into contact with water after it worked for a few days and now it wont turn on properly is there any way I can fix it

  • CHLOE go on a message from the number you want to block, then press option 9 =) hope this helps!!

  • i was wondering..for anyone who has this phone. i remember a while ago, i was looking through my phone and i remember seeing an option where you can block numbers...it had 10 slots (so you can block 10 numbers basically). if anyone knows how to get to this option, it would help alot! thanks! i've looked through my whole phone about 10 times already and i still cant' find it, but i KNOW there's an option which lets you block numbers from calling....please help!

  • Are there any deffects or the things which make this mobile suck ?? secondly , shall i go for it or that samsung x700 ?

  • i got this phone today and absolutely love it... the camera is fantastic with all the extra features it has! i am so glad i got this phone recommended highly xx

  • I have had this phone for a year. the screen has broken once and cost �60 to be fixed (it was stood on) but was worth it as quite a pricy phone. the pics come out good and it has been an excellent phone

  • tis sound bought it for my boyfriend but i played with the slide to much and it got a bit stiff but it has a lo of memory all round quite a gd fone

  • Can sombody please tell me what actually comes in the box. Like does it come with a data cable? or is that an extra? Thank-You in advance

  • I had this phone for 2 years now and I�m disgusted with posts from some people here. Let me debunk some misconception - Slider does not jam it never did and it will not, but if you keep your phone in mud and dirt then probably will jam - Battery still holds charge for 5-6 days - Java Apps as with all phones some work some don�t - You don�t need USB cable to connect to PC use bluetooth it works - I do not pay special attention to screen it is in my pocket with keys and coins and it fallen couple of times from my shirt pocket and screen still does not have any noticeable scratches - It is very good phone probably the best I ever had is still feels strong and sturdy as it was 2 years ago. Like all phones there is also some bad points to it but you hardly notice them after a while.

  • who knows how can I put java games on my D500 through the usb cable ?

  • my boyfriend has this phone .. its really nice and it has a good camera

  • i just bought the phone recently because i think that it is a nice phone.. well, i have some encounters w/ the cd that comes with it. i installed it like a million times and still it says (when i connect the phone to my pc thru usb) that there is like an error. im not sure now if there's something wrong w/ the cd, my computer, my phone or the usb itself. please please help me. i want to upload my mp3s and pics to the phone and as of now.. .the phone is dull as it is when i first bought it. can someone please please help me. it will be very much appreciated. thanks

  • can someone please answer this quetion? Is the phone a trustable phone which will last you 4 a whil thnx!!

  • lala & rob, NO, NO, NO - you can't change the message/txt tones to your own. It's got them preset. You can only choose from those. The same is true for the alarm clock, can't change the alarm tone except for the pre-set ones unlike with Nokia phones. These are my major complaints on this D500: 1) Txt and alarm tones are pre-set 2) can't receive picture messages from other brand phones - it always says "incompatible message".

  • when i phone or send a sms, when i delete it it goes to a store box... how can i permantly delete what i sms or a number pls

  • can you use your own text ringtones? for example i have on my se a text alert that says "u got a txt u dirty sl*g" but my se wont play it when i get a text, does this phone let you use your own ringtones for texts?

  • It's great and should think about getting one.

  • The phone is beautiful, and anybody could wish to buy one, but please could you check the price or what i mean is to reduce the price thank you.

  • ive had this phone for just about 12 months now and i may say that for using this phone for 8 months i was proud of it but then it became very faulty, as my batterys life kept dieing on me, i would have to atleast charge it every 2nd or 1st day without the use of my phone. Then i stop recieving calls - The problem was not my sim it was the actual phone then i also did not get any sms and sometimes they wont send, but mainly the worst issue ive had with this phone was the calls, usually if somebody rang me atleast 3 times i wont recieve it and it will only say "you have one missed call", i could not fix this problem cause of all the damages to it, although this phone was pretty good at the time, i thought hay this is 8 months and its not have given me any majour problems but now ive had to buy the new samsung z510 and im having difficulties finding the message tone. Oh and also about this Samsung D500 the camera quality is craptacular the new samsung z510 impressed me with the photo quality.

  • Yo guy, The SAMSUNG D500 is very smart phone!Im very proud 4 it.I use it till a year.It gave no problem,no disturb.Especially the quality of sound is too good.It can compare with N90.Although its the best set in the world!

  • Probably one of the best phones made. The design is brilliant, small,stylish, and its got everything you need, Loadsa memory for your mp3's infared, and bluetooth, 10/10 Fantastic!

  • I got this fone on Saturday for my 15th birthday. i upgraded from the e330 which I loved and i think this fone is even better. the camera, mp3 player and memory are brilliant! the slide function is very smooth and i have been assured it will last. I have been told that you can connnect it to your computer by a connection kit which is not expensive but I'm yet to come across one of these. You can transfer things from computer to phone and from phone to computer through this. If you are unable to get this you can also send pictures from the phone to the computer through a multimedia message to your email address, this is fairly easy! The phone is simple to use and is easy to get used to. I personally love samsung phones and also got it on o2 which is my prefered network. All in all I love the phone so far and highly recommend it to all people of any age =) Another great phone by samsung, keep them coming ;) Laura !

  • to slb for life ,,,youve bought it on orange havnt you and its not posssible to get rid of the orange homescreen ,,,its been a question in one of the uk s leading fone mags & they said no as well but they may make it turn offable on future smarfones..Could orange be the new vodafone live????

  • I live in the Caribbean, purchased my Samsung D500 in England February 2006. An absoultely marvellous phone but needs to be charged very often. People are facinated by it and all it's features.In my country only the black is sold, mine however is a silver and a kind of ash black never saw that colour any where else. Keep it close for fear of it being stolen.

  • I have now got my second D500 and I am quite upset. Within 6 months of getting my original I took it out of my pocked one day and noticed the LCD screen had cracked! luckily I had insurance and got it replaced. Not sure what happened but they said it was was quite sensitive. I have now had my second one for 3 months and the screen has done it again, this time I wasn't even in contact with it. It was kept on my couch at home. When I took it in they said someone must have got in and tampered with it but thats just not possible.

  • the best mobby ever

  • I have a D500 since Januari 2006.It's a great phone and has a superb design.On the downside I find the procedure to upload Java games very cumbersome.Since only my Mac (OSX) has bluetooth I can only send/receive files on that computer not on my PC but the Java upload procedure is PC-Only.Was able to have PIM manager work under Virtual PC though but not Java upload.And it was very buggy.It will ask me a few dozen times whether I want to accept incoming bluetooth conection.Ultimately it connects and u can work normally.ALso, does someone know where to download firmware for the D500? I would like to enable Hindi language support but so far didn't find anything.

  • hello i want to buy this plse can anyone tell me is it support standard MIDI or only suports MMF, plse and my inquary hurry thanks is nokia 6630's camera better than d500 ?

  • I have had the D500 for over a week and I truly love it. (TIPS AND TRICKS) I can transfer pictures/music/sound (havent tried video) to the phone using bluetooth which is much more convenient. You normally can not transfer pictures from one phone to the other because each picture taken from a particular phone has some history that goes with it. You have to edit it with a suitable software such as Adobe and erase the history so its blank then send it via bluetooth to the D500. Same is true with my Samsung 720 (sprint).

  • CAN ANYONE HELP? I'm trying to bluetooth old videos from my old Samsung D500 to my new Nokia 6280 but they won't send! I've even put in a brand new memory card in my new phone but still no joy? Can anyone help please?

  • well, there has been about two post about how to get files to be sent from the computer to the phone or vice versa. Well, the phone basically do not come with wire or programs to install to your computer to transfer files (for D500c versions...i don't know about other versions) so you have to find an alternative way to do it. this is the method that i have been useing for quite a long time. well, you can basically buy a blue tooth dongle or a infared red adapter for your computer. These products can be purchased in various computer accesories stores. Then you can follow the instructions to install the products respectively. Then you connect the blue tooth or infared red (IR) to your phone which have both functions. Then you send the items via blue tooth / IR. Done! ,Yit Khai

  • Am using Samsung D500 for the past 10 months. So far so good.....but recently my camera is not working properly.

Anybody is aware of this problem?

  • Phone is great. Stylish, easy to use - no real quarms so far. However, when I transfer my viseo clips onto my computer, I can't seem to play them. I've tried to open them with a number of different programs, and the only one that comes close to working is Windows Media Player. But it skips and jumps all over the place. Does anyone know what program I should use to play my video clips?

  • I need my phone to keep the sent items where can I get that function, I was expecting to get it on outbox?

  • i want it

  • this is one of the handy mobiles that i have used and also that i have seen , but only one drawback is that it does not have extendable memory

  • I've been using D500 for a year now and I simply love it. I couln't live without a nokia before, but now i can't live without my Samsung. It's easy to transfer pics, videos and mp3's from ur phone to the computer using a USB bluetooth or an infrared adapter which is easily available in the market. The only trouble is i dunno how to save my phonebook contacts to my computer, i can't seem to copy the entire phone book to my computer at once.

  • i wanna get it but i need gd memory... how many mp3 pic and videos will the fone store plzz

  • You cant change the alarm tone nor can you create folders on the phone. l transfer all my info. from my pc to my phone with my bluetooth dongle and usb cable from DVD movies to music videos and pics....

  • It's a good phone but what l think is that the camera has got poor picture quality... but it's the best phone l can get in South Africa @ the moment it has everything l'm looking for.

  • how do i change the alarm tone on this phone to one of my choice can anyone help?

  • can somebody tell me if I can create folders on this phone? thank you

  • how do you transfee no from the phone to the sim

  • for those of you who want to know how to transfer files from your phone to your pc, you'd have to get a data cable (preferably USB) to connect from the d500 to the computer. most packages would also come with the Samsung EasyStudio software (can't remember if this actually came with the phone or not), which includes a file manager where you can access the files on your phone in a tree directory. you can search for it online, but it's a pretty big download (at ~114mbs).

  • hey. iv had the d500 for 7months now, and it is stil such a gr8 fone! iv used a nokia 6680, and i found it a bit slow wen compared to the d500. dis is such a gr8 fone. go samsung!

  • i believe the samsung d500 uses Samsung PC Studio 2 software which you could probably knock off the internet. apart from that you'll need a datacable which should be the same for all samsung cell phones. i dont believe the d500 comes standard with these things so if you dont have the cable, u'll probably have to purchase it.

  • can i put my pics on the computer with my d5oo if i can can someboy tell me how please

  • i have the samsung d500 and i want to transfer my photos and video clips from my phone to my pc is it possible and if so how do i do this? thank you.

  • hi a mate told me that on her d500 she had something call call catcher which let her view missed calls even though the phone was turned off does anyone know how to activate this????

  • Great phone - does everything that I need it to,and what is more the battery stays charged for a decent length of time - glad it is not 3G - just swopped my one month old Z500 , which was 3G, because the battery stand by time was rubbish - needed charging every 2 days even if it was not used !D500 has great design , is easy to use, and I am so glad that I swopped it - well done Samsung - now if you could just sort out the battery life of the Z550 ..............

  • to prajwal: to set diff ringtones for diff callers, go to phonebook>contact list>choose d contact u want to assign a ringtone to>options>edit>scroll down to which ever field u want to edit or assign something either image or ringtone, etc.for ringtone, it's got an icon of a bell then choose from where u want to get the ringtone to be assigned, either from default melodies or downloaded sounds or music then choose from among those and save. to bbii 100: of course you can transfer the pics u took from the camera to ur computer. get the usb cable to connect ur phone to ur pc and the software (samsung easy studio) for file manager (either on CD which comes with the phone when purchased or download from samsungmobile.com)and you can do stuff like download/upload mp3's, images,videos to and from ur phone and pc. u can even type sms msgs and/or memos on ur pc and send via ur phone or copy ur phone book to outlook express. ur phone can even be ur modem! firstly, get the usb cable and install the software.

  • It would be better if Samsung had made the small lid actually attatched to the phone like they did with the E350. It has tiny rubber hinges so you can just open the lid to charge the phone then pop it back in and no danger of losing it.

  • I am sick of changing long way for language when key sms, i using model D500C and anyone can tell me how to select text language only english, T9 and number, i hate to keep press button for many chinese input. maybe my local samsung service center can do?

  • Seriously speaking ... this is a buggy phone .DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE .don't fell with the external look . its really a buggy phone .Real waste of money . Go to someother phones like NOKIA & SONY ERICCSON.if u wanna use this as just a phone then it will be a normal one .. if u want to use the technology like GPRS,wap etc..then..this is not a phone u r looking for . Ofcourse , good video quality & audio quality other than that this is not a good phone.Please don't buy this phone .. Don't buy by attractiveness,or from websites or the award winning stories ... award was within samsung mobilesets only .. there was no participation from NOKIA or SONY ERICCSON ... so don't be fooled by this awards and so on...

  • so i just bought my samsung d500 phone, and i must say it's hot. ofcourse, there are faults..it doesn't vibrate and ring at the same time, it vibrates 3 times, then ring and you can't use an mp3 ringtone as an sms message. however, i don't know how to downloas mp3 ringtones and pictures to my phone, via the usb cable.

  • The lid is a very small thing so it needs to be kept very carefully while charging. It wont be lost if kept properly. Thanks

  • You can lose the LID easily!!! No good!

  • I have just bought the Samsung D500 last week and I have observed that while making a call to another party, the ring is very low for the first 2-3 rings and then suddenly it becomes loud and clear. Please advise if this is a design or an issue? Many thanks

  • Hi Maria Dam�sio The small lid needs to be removed for charging. And then it can be replaced when the charging is done. This small lid is just to keep the handset closed at times when there is no charging taking place.

  • I purchased this phone last year and after a few days half of the screen went unreadable and a small crack appeared on the internal screen. I sent it back and got a new one but the quality was not good and the screen broke again just by being in my pocket. I have changed to a Nokia 6230 now and it is fantastic! I will NOT buy a Samsung again.

My question to people is how on earth do i load an mp3 playlist from my computer (itunes) to my samsung mp3 player? please email me if you know....i have already used the usb cable and am stuck on the file manager. The tunes already on my phone mp3 show on screen, but i can't seem to drag and drop the playlist into the filemanager to then upload it or download it.!? [email protected]

  • This is an award winning phone... so the rest is up to you to think wheather is it good or not.

  • nice phone...

  • hey hi i would like to get a samsung phone again, considering this one but my friends who have samsung phones complain that the keypad gets insensitive after a while, and the phones arent durable overall. anyone with similar complaints? or are these isolated cases? thanks lots! (:

  • hi i too got the D500 ... i want to help in intalling games on my handset through bluetooth ... also suggest websites where i can find the games. i do like the set but would recommend few upgrades 1. FM Tuner 2. Expandable Memory 3. Parallel Processing 4. Compatibility with more than one file formats for audio(just MP3 present)and videos(just 3GP present). 5. If possible try to put PTT tech on the next set. P.Raj

  • Hello everyone, well I first bought my phone March 2005, been using it under t-mobile service in the usa. I like this phone has a lot of features, memory, video, camera, flash. I used it in africa for three months during the summer of 2005 and came back and used it here. Well this is a great phone, so if you considering buying it, go ahead, you will not be waisting your money. The only thing it is missing is fm tuner, and expandible memory. So i'll be upgrading to another phone in a couple of weeks ( nokia n90 or SE w900). Anyway, this is not a cingular or tmobile recognized phone so you will not be able to download anything from them. What i did is transfered songs via USB dongle or just got them from friends via bluetooth and, used them as ringtones. Overall after a year of using this phone, i am satisfied, when i first got it last year, it was a head turner around my way, barelly anybody had it, but a year has passed and tmobile and cingular have come out with similar looking phones, and more people own this phone, mostly foreigners. It is a great buy.

  • hiya all, just got a d500. i recieved a mms today, but cant get in to open it!!!! when i chose to open it, it states "retrieving mms", then 2 sec later states "cancel retrieving new mms" with a yes and no option. when i press no, it goes back to the mms inbox, and the same happens when i press yes. VERY FRUSTRATING. can somebody please tell me how to open this. i would be very grateful!!! thanks

  • my jC uses this phone he is fkn hot just like the phone

  • think its a really good phone has so much extra s and easy to use camera is very good night and day use tones could be better but all round very good phone i wouldnt have another phone by this one

  • Hi All, i bought this mobile a week ago.i was using NOKIA 3230 phone b4,except sound quality and video recording quality NOKIA was excellent.But in Samsung D500 model i have overcomed this problem.Problem i faced when i transfered from NOKIA to SAMSUNG is that parallel processing .... ie when we are speaking to someone else it was bit hard for us to look for pictures & video which was possible in NOKIA 3230 ..Thank god there was a provision for viewing phone book & message box. Software problem i faced is that sometimes stored photos cannot be viewed. Everyone said about the quality of photo was excellent ...i cann't agree with that . Photo quality of NOKIA 3230 is ultimate but the video quality of SAMSUNG D500 is somehow good compared to NOKIA 3230. I prefer all of u to shift to Sony Ericsson . Quality means SONY ERICSSON

  • just reading ppl's oppionions an i noticed someone put how you sposed to answare these questions which is right coz the email links broke..to the site owner i think you should have a message reply section ..just a thought lol ..

  • Luv the phone..best i'v had so far and i'v been thru alot of phones,only downside to it is that you cant have customised sms tones..as i found out and downloaded one..waste of time..but love the features,so small an sexy for my lil hand ;)oh btw if anyone knows how to lock your messages for privacy then plz let me know,only the manual doesn,t explain very good,an also can you record voice convo's?

  • its a really an asset. only one probelm i am facing is how to set the phone book list with phone and sim seperately. i search for the menu but could not find. when viewing the list the names come twice in diplay. any body can suggest the option??

  • I really love the phone. In the Caribbean we have a couple of the hot phones out in the US - Razr, Balckberry, amongst others so it was difficult to choose the phone i wanted for a gift. However, after doing my research I selected Samsung because of its uniqueness, simplicity snd elegance. Believe me, i am 200% happy that I chose the D500 because of it has proven to me its functionality. While i totally adiore the phone i find just one problem with the effect of the flash on the brightness of the photos. Its a good feature to have but i fing that the timing is probably what makes the photo a little darker than expected with the aid of the light. I dont know but i still love the phone and i still think its a good investment...

  • have you tried reading the instructions????

  • Callan, U cant use zoom when u r using the 2 best camera settings, that are 1280x1024(SXGA) & the next best (I dont remember the res now as i dont have the fone with me :P).. With all other modes, u can use the zoom.. Not sure what u mean by "zoom is rubbish"; do u mean the quality of pic on zooming? In my opinion, u get the best with zoom in VGA (640x480) mode. Carole, Use the software called BlueSoleil. I got it with my BT adapter. With that MP3 transfer works like a charm. Alternately, use 'fsquirt' in Run window (Windows key+R) if u r using Windows XP.. This will open the BT File Transfer Wizard. I havent used this but u might as well give it a shot.. Valeria, U do get the apostrophe symbol in this. Do post any more queries u have for ur D500, i will try my best to answer them..

  • does ne one know the settings to get your internet working (cingular users), internet does not work for my d 500. Kinda think that sucks!

  • A brilliant smart looking phone with all the latest technologies. However I still haven't managed to download mp3 files. Please could someone let me know how to transfer files from Windows Media Player (if possible) or which application to use so I can listen to my favourite music on my way to work? I've tried to use the wireless connection with the bluetooth function but it doesn't recognise my cumputer as a device for downloads... Please help. Thanks.

  • quality phone!!!! one of the best i ever had. a crazy but sexy design and small. so easy to operate and the menus are easy to access. hope samsung make a better version of it soon.

  • Is it true that when sending texts you don't get an apostrophe among the characters(this character: ', so you can't write something like: I'd like)?

  • Hi Was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem i have been having with the d500, whilst using it the screen sometimes freezes goes totally white and doesnt come on again until tne next day , but at present i still cant see my screen. it also randomly switched itself off!!

  • Hi all! Been using this phone for 6 months now & I must say that this baby is worth every penny u spend on it. It hasnt yet given me a single problem. I will point out the +ves & -ves on this one accdg to me: + Small, light & snug-fitting in the palm. Can easily handle it with one hand because of correct placement of buttons all around. + 1.3 mp camera gives pics that are of above-average quality.. (for folks who say that cam is not adequate, go & buy a digi-cam!! ;) ) Cam is under the slider with a mirror & a flash!! And it has a number of picture modes that give surprising results. + Speakers - loud & clear. + Slider & Keys - The best part of the D500 is the slider & it just grabs attention whenever u pop it up in public.. True, the first line of num-pad is close to the slider bottom, but well, its ok.. + Memory - Total 100 MB is enough for a small-sized mp3 collection & java games. Would have loved to have a memory-slot, but the D510 has solved that prob.. + Speed of operation - A major plus is the speed with which it responds. You will be able to note the difference (opening msgs, launching apps,etc) if u have used other phones earlier. + I have been using a BlueTooth dongle to exchange MP3s/pics/vids with my PC; it works like a charm. + 1000 X 12-field address book entries!! -ves: - MP3 player is good with playlist & all, but you cant play the songs in the back-ground & indulge in something else like texting. - Message tones cant be customised. - For text junkies, the 200-sms limit would be dis-appointing. Might have given it in the shared memory... - BlueTooth consumes the battery a lot. I might have forgotten to add a few other points here, but the bottomline is that the phone serves you well functionally & if you are the one who likes to flash your phone in public, then this one's gonna grab more than a few eye-balls!! Cheers!
