Samsung i500 - User Reviews

  • want skins? i500 Skin Selector is a small app that lets you change the main phone screen image. The tricky part is you have to select the "tree" image from the phone prefs, and your own image in the app. You can upload your own images and convert them to the right format online, too. also, TWO-WAY TEXT MESSAGING requires i500SMS, avialable for one-time fee of $25

  • If you are into flashy ringtones and picture caller ID....this is not the phone for you. You can get a program that allows you to send SMS Text messages. There are cool programs out there that let you use your IR port to be a universal remote and turn TV channels. Really handy if you need to always be organized and have a tight schedule and don't feel like lugging around a day planner.

  • Can someone tell me how to download ringtones on my i500. Everytime I receive one in a message, it goes no where else.

  • I agree, text messaging is a must. Samsung had a chance to make a perfect phone and they failed!!

  • Love the phone but am very disappointed that I cannot reply to test messages. Because of this I would choose another. Everybody is text messaging now!

  • The phone in the picture is not Samsung i500, it is I think Samsung i600. I like the phone yeah it does not support some things but all in all it is a good phone sleek and useful.

  • The i500 is definitely a beautiful phone. While the physical and color is made to profection. Well that's it. I own the i500 but it does not have text message, ringtone or wallpaper download capabilities. You can view text messages but you cannot reply,send or know the number it is coming from. I have had this phone just under two months and I am ready to break my contract with Sprint. I specifically requested these capabilities at the time of purchase and now that there advertisement is garbage they won't give me another phone. My 14day period has passed. That raw deal is crap and now so is the phone.

  • this is such an ugly phone and the colour oh my god

  • Needs a speakerphone!

  • why it takes so long for your company to come out with the phone. I've the palm/phone Samsung I-300, been using palm OS. The ads posted "coming soon March 2004" I've waiting !! That is false advertising/misleading. It is very bad to tell customer one thing and let them waited forever. CHANGE or MODIFY YOUR WEBSITE INFO!! I might consider changing to Office OS. Thanks for the WAIT for NOTHING. UnHappy Customer

  • The Samsung is very god mobile and i like it very much. But I dont have money to by it

  • @damian: they are the same phones but you can swivel the screen of the phone so that the inner screen becomes the outer screen...

  • why the two different pics of this phone? which is the right one. they're two totally different designs.

  • does it hav photo phonebook or mp3??

  • Great phone/pda. Smallest one out there. Fits in my pocket and is comfortable. Get e-mail and check your calander and to-do list. I love it. Had a BIG HEAVY Kyocera 7135 and this is wonderful. PLayed with a camera phone for 2 weeks and realized that it is a toy and I am over the camera-phone thing. Get an i500 and enjoy convergence. Richard

  • it is a very nice phone

  • Excuse me can anyone tell me wat does Palm OS means?

  • Samsung i500 is expected to be released in the U.K. April 2004, I spoke to Samsung direct, but no guarantees. Could be shit? or could be great! who knows?

  • It is such a beautiful phone.In fact it's my dream phone.The features and all about it are just right.More grease to your elbow.SAMSUNG!!!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome, awesome, awesome phone

  • when is this phone coming out?

  • why get this phone when yu can buy the sendo x it makes no sense the sendo looks better got better specs and is lighter practical gorgeous check the sendo you won't be dissapointed.

I hav e been checking your up-dates on this website for sometime now. All i have been getting was just coming soon, how soon is soon. Regards, al_rufus

  • what can added a TV tuner to the SGH-i500?? how much price?

  • I believe samsung i500 is currently available and does not support GSM.

  • hello MY ADVICE to you!! don't buy i500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 just wait and BUY sgh-i505 (of course GSM) (start sale beginning of 2004) go to link below it's perfect phone damn nice swivel screen with silver finish!!!!

  • as i noticed i can't record videos :(( i have to say that the D700 will be smarter phone.

  • when is this phone coming out???? treo v600 is out already!!!!

  • Its a great Phone!! I really want to find out about the specification. Does the phone allow hot swap for battery without fearing to lose the data? Does the phone come with built-in mic and speakerphone? Is the OS upgradable to tailor for future need?

  • this is the phone of the future technology :) i read this: "i500 comes with a Palm media pack for audio and video playback" it seems there will be mp3 player in it :DD the only! defect is bluetooth, but i can forgive it :D

  • The i500 does not provided by bluetooth technology. Why?? Thanks

  • Are there any plans to launch this phone in India,will Lee,Kim,Jong or Song please reply.

  • Hi There is it this phone work for AT&T at USA let me know how must cost, or can you send me a list the phone work for USA I'm looking for 1

  • when is this phone being released??

  • This is a much nicer phone than the SPH-I500 that's due out shortly on the Sprint PCS Network. Samsung should produce this phone in CDMA version.

  • It would be nice if the smart phone can also equiped with bluetooth. It is a shame that it can't be use with bluetooth hand free. I think Bluetooth handfree capability is necessity for bulky smart phones.

  • Take a look here...

  • What will the price be? I love the look, size and dual band features.

  • tell me know how price for this ?

  • I don't understand why the screen has two battery indicators? I think it must be a mock up screen and not the final production model.

  • when will it be release in the market? (philippines & saudi arabia) and how much?

  • where is available, is unlock?

  • Sounds cool. Wish it came with an MP3 player & allowed one to use the palm simultaneous with being on the phone. That way, if you're wearing a headset, you could still use the Palm feature to log a phone number you could be receiving while currently on the phone without needing a separate piece of paper & pen, you know?

  • i''ll like to know the price of samsung i500

  • Samsung got really many fuckin shit phones.Good for them!

  • This pda/phone/digital camera hybrid is a gadget worth watching-out for. I've been on the hunt for a "good" pda phone for sometime now. Having read so many reviews, I'm not inclined to go with any of the Pocket PC phone hybrid which has a lot of glitches and are just too bulky to hold to your ear. I believe the Palm OS is most suitable for a pda phone since it has all we need to manage our contacts, e-mails and MS files we need to carry around, and all that in a compact "phone-like" size. From the features on this new Samsung i-500, I think I may have just found what I've been waiting for, with a digital camera as a bonus! I just hope that the hardware is durable and software/phone integration won't have major glitches. Can't wait for it to arrive...

  • Damn... So many features and no bluetooth? Where is the comfort of mobile calling? This phone is not complete...

  • Samsung and the wireless carriers have taken so long to make this phone available for customers that it's almost a joke. Sprint says "any day now", but they've been saying that for nearly a year.

  • Is the Samsung I500 currently being sold? If so, where?

  • I want to know:how much does it cost theese phones-Samsung:i 500 etc

  • I want to know:how much does it cost theese phones-Samsung:i 500 etc

  • I'd like to know whether the MMC card slot accept the normal MMC card or special one and is there any limitation of the size of memory.

  • Im want know how match price i500 im no see in VietNam

  • why no bluetooth in any of the new samsungs ???? really disappointed

  • To whom it may concern, I am sales manager of the Mobicom Corporation - Mongolian first cellular company. And our customers very interested in Samsung mobile phones. If its possible, could you please send the quotation fee for all types Samsung phones. With kind regards, Bayarmaa. GSM Department Sales manager Mobicom Corporation

  • Sweet man. Samsung is no doubt better than Nokia now. Nokia is famously known for 'Brick' phones and the low tech compared to Samsung.

  • does anyone know, when this phone is out for sale? and the price?

  • it's very good, but so very expensive ! Many times, I buy Samsung, First, very Expensive, than a several time, It's Price Go Down, like 10G !!!

  • Isn't he very good !!!!????!!!!I think that he is very good
