Samsung E500 - User Reviews

  • E5 is goood phone and hod ch an

  • Hay guys. Trying to get old pics off my 500 via data cable. Can this be done?

  • WOW! i bought my Samsung E500 when was studying in Holland four year ago. i still have my phone, still beautiful as new. i can not think of getting another phone, unless i have to. It is a beautiful, elegant phone. Sad thing my batery is getting weak but i am hopeful i will find a standard samsung phone battery that is compatible with my elengent phone. Then i am sorted! Kisses to whoever designed this phone. it is a piece of art. no other phone came closer to being beautiful as the Samsung E500. the gold one rocks.

  • Great phohe! I've got it already 4 years. I still love that phone as a first day when I both it.

  • i love you!

  • I had bought it as a present to my then fiance and now wife two years ago! It is a great phone very elegant and stylish. Now in the iphone era seems very simple but still it is eye catching,while light and with long battery life.

  • it's a good phone...i bought it when it was my birthday in 2008...for 16 years :D. i love the mirror but the memory is small...well it's the most beautiful phone i've ever had and seen :D:D:D:D

  • it is one of the worst model i ever seen in my life time

  • i had the some tmobile balck phone

  • one year ago i had this phone in white one but i lost it and now i'm very sad about that :(

  • I bought this phone, pink versus model a year ago and I'm very satisfied with it.I hope i'll use it for along time, simply I wouldn't like to change my phone unless I must.I can only say "my compliments"

  • Two years ago I tried to find a good phone to change my old one (also samsung) and when I've seen this phone, I did not want any other. It was just realised and expensive (arround 450 USD). I have this phone since that time and even don't think about changing. It's really really good phone!

  • What can I say.I will miss this phone.It's a very good fashion and women's phone.Camera,bluetooth,mp3 player,voice recording,video recording,not at all bad for a phone with specific functions as calorie counter,shopping list(you can put pictures of items),pink schedule,scent calculation,weight ratio,biorythm.Definitely a women only phone.Has a mirror on the external display,not big at all,but when you need it desperatelu it comes in handy.I can say unlike it's predecessor T500,it's firmer and long-living.I crashed mine several times,dropped it in puddles,snow,sand,even in the toilet.And it lived through all of it.Never had to fix it for anything.And then it fell into some milk.And that was the end of it.Milk was floating in the internal and external display ,it was pouring out of everywhere.And it was out of date.I will miss it.Anyway a nice phone,very lady like,I prefer white,but it's a matter of personal opinion.

  • I have this phone for year and i really like it. i didn't have any problems with it. it comes in gold and in white color.

  • wat outher colors dose it come in

  • this phone is very good and stylish but it's only for women. love it

  • i had this phone. i bought it for 400. it's totally worth it. but i lost it afterwards which was a BIG loss. im thinking of buying it again. [=

  • i have the gold one:D

  • i love my phone i've got this phone from my boyfriend, and i love it, nice phone

  • I live in Holland to and i have this phone, i't's a beautiful phone with a lot of options...and the gold one is the most beautiful one.....

  • i have this phone and i live in holland, its now avaible everywher i love this phone

  • Whoever says that this phone is ugly, is ugly himself and stupid for not realising it. This is one of the most beautiful phones that came out it is obviously made for girls and i do have one like it and its amazing, and believe i will never sell not even for 1000 euros altough i bought mine for 338 euros but i don't care, believe me its worth it and who has one like it knows what i am saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this phone

  • I want to have it, but its no longer available here in Holland... its really a shame :(

  • ive got this damn phone so im coool i bought it 4 200 euros

  • I have this mobile.He is a very nice and beauty....I like them....I know a little English because I am from Bosnian,sorry........

  • e500is very good looking phone but i like the its flip

  • This phone looks cool and is cool. Its clearly for girls only though but belive me its so hot!

  • What are the colours for Samsung e500?

  • its a beauty and i love the woman life of the phone

  • Its the ugliest phone i've ever seen my friend has one and it gives her a way to elegant look. if you dont want a million people looking at your phone saying "omg your phone is soooo good" and all that then you dont want this phone.

  • I'm sorry bill doesn't like it.. it's ver practical and stylish in the same time... after all, it's made for us girls...

  • I love it, very pretty mobile,stylish, and more looks like for girls

  • this phone is very beautiful and is perfect for a woman is my favorite

  • i think thisphone is the worst samsung phone i have ever seen andi hope that is not borght and that it goes down track

  • ... This is one of the ugliest Samsung phones I've EVER seen! The design looks tacky on the outside AND the keypad as well. And the shape is wierd. To curvy, in a bad way. Pssh, my Samsung e730 totally beats this phone. It has less internal memory than the e730, but it has edge... o__O"

  • why the munal is not in english can you please send me one on my e-mail

  • It's both gorgeous in looks and rich in features;bright colours,clear sound,big memory space and so many womanish subtleties..I've got a wonderful husband who christmed it for me :)

  • Omg!!! Da fone is sexy n cool!!

  • oh snap it has a mirror!!

  • Sofie, the price in the Netherlands is around 300� best regards johan

  • Hiya... I really like this phone, i think it is gorgeous, but i can't seem to find out what the cost of it is if anyone knows then please tell me (write it on this site please) because my e-mail is working. Thankyou From Sofie x

  • i'm going to get it tomorrow by orange in hollang :P:P

  • it's cool...i gotta have this! let you know pips!

  • This phone IS about design. There hasn't got to be anything else special.

  • Nothing seems to be special about it, nice design though.

  • The phone is beautiful with Versace colors and is AVAILABLE in Cyprus already from Soundtech. Check out their website It has Bluetooth and it is tri-band. But the feeling of touching this phone is incredible. Another successful model targetting especially ladies!!

  • it has bluethooth!

  • an elegant one, i think i have to grab it

  • does anyone know if this is a triband or quadband or anything? Thanks

  • it has got bluetooth. all i wanna no is when exactly is it available? im getting annoyed waiting. very impatient person.

  • I don't think bluetooth should be in all phones. Some people, like me, don't want to pay for a technology that we are never going to use.

  • Why does this handset have no Bluetooth?

  • not bad bt not as cute as my new e900!!!!

  • I think it is so smart,beautiful

  • they kidnapped versus(versace) team. designed by versus.

  • i think it looks HOT. anyone know how much this delight is?

  • fonefanatik, Yes. After nokia stole some of samsung's designers, samsung managed to steal some of them back.

  • ...ummm,have samsung kidnapped some of the nokia design team??

  • the silver 1 doesnt look that bad but the gold one looks soooo cheap and tacky! should of done it with silver and black not gold samsung!! c'mon really if it aint real gold its gonna luck cheap innit!

  • There is another older phone model from Samsung with the same name "e500", and yet this golden phone here bears the same name. GSMARENA please tell us what is the name of this new Samsung model. Thank you!

  • the design o thid phone is disgusting what a horrific design. This phone would be ideal for Bet Lynch or Kat Slater.

  • This phone is coming out soon. The confusion about it been canceld stems from this been the second E500 to come from the samsung stable, Thid link will clarify everything

  • Thanks a lot for your post "dynamoo". I wish everyone reads it berfore saying silly things.

  • It's not the first phone from Samsung to be called the SGH-E500. There *was* one with the same model name announced in 2004 and then cancelled, which is why there's confusion. See

  • STOP posting crap like this model has been cancelled and STOP confusing others. Samsung again showcased it in CommunicAsia 2006 and its coming up in the 2nd quarter to the Russian market first and shortly afterwards in European countries. Oh by the way the external screen works as MIRROR too. Here read on

  • Just when I've found a perfect phone for my mom's birthday.. it's been cancelled. Good job, Samsung!! You really disappointed me.

  • i dont quite get it- is this phone cancelled or coming soon? cuz a load os ppl ave said its been cancelled but on the specifications thingy it says comin soon... it better no be cancelld cause a bloody goorjuz phone!!!

  • i love it-its sooooo me!!! i'm with orange so make sure they get hold of it!!! yummy!

  • c'mon guys its just plain tacky!

  • GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME!!!! I looove it!! Please release it in Norway samsung!!

  • I love the looks of this phone. very feminine. I have the E530, can't wait to get this one. Hurry up and release it in the UK samsung!!!

  • WOW isnt it cute!! ^^ now thats style samsung!! ;) although i know it looks like quite a similar style to the nokia 73 series l'amour fones oh well, samsung still kicks ass, and with a 1.3 mp camera its kicking the 7370s ass as it has an obnoxious swivel type mecanism...ewww nokia = poo xx LOVE BRIDENCE xx

  • Wow! This phone is very pretty looking. I'm not so sure about the functions though. I might buy it, maybe.

  • this phone is targetted for women obviously. no right minded male or maybe some women too will buy this phone.

  • this is probably the ugliest phone of samsung i've ever seen

  • I really love this phone... I hope it will hit the Dutch market very soon... They say it will be the 3Q here.

  • @Abril/u/maz Where you guys are getting the impression that this model has been Cancelled????? Samsung unvieled this model few dasy back in SVIAZ Expo Comm 2006 and according to press report this will be launched in the 2nd quarter of 2006 to the Russian market and will be released shortly after in European countries.

  • Is this a Samsung E500 or Mercedes Benz E500?

  • This mobile looks really nice, very aesthetic, i would love to have one in my hands because although i don't like samsung features too much, i love their designs, they are so soft and delicate, perfect for women... but it is cancelled... SUCH A PITY... = (

  • cancelled... will u guys ever get the point?? lol it isnt even anything special either.......

  • sharad mishra how you know about the phone? its cancelled.....

  • this mobile is very easy to handle and easy to interphase.back up and sond quality are excilent. its overall good by the feature

  • Just when I've found a clamshell small enough.. It's cancelled! What an error! Hate you Samsung.

  • dear samsung - please please please can u bring out this phone! please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • samsung has the best option in the world

  • Guys read the "Status" above. The phone is CANCELLED. At this point, in time I think my favourite brand by far is Motorola. Ciao!

  • i really like this phone and i was wondering if its available in Belgium

  • The phone is 64 polyphonic

  • ever since i saw this celly, i love it...can anyone tell me when will it be available in Malaysia (preferbly in sabah)?... thanks~

  • I heard this fone will be coming out before the end of next year...which doesnt help at all, I am extremely picky when it comes to fones..I want the feminine look, small in size, camera,aeriel free and dual colour screens. The pearly white colour gives it the femine appeal without being childish like (pink vk mobile)Im 22 and its hard to find a fone that is feminine without looking too girly girl, perfect fone for young women, besides it not being tri-band (which is a downfall considering I travel there quite often from the UK-might not have bluetooth either (its ok i dont drive anyways and using a cable for file transfer isnt that bad), but its still amazing in all other areas and therefore I cannot wait to get this!

  • this phone could be the perfect one for me! but when is it coming out? please could i have a dew more details? thanks

  • samsung E500 is so amazing!

  • that's a cool phone very cute nd portable.

  • good,nice,i love it
