Samsung D500 Overview
The new D500 from Samsung features stunning visual design, excellent multimedia and storage capabilities combined with many enhancements. And of course, for the first time, Samsung have included Bluetooth technology into the phone.
The phone design, on an aesthetic level is very handsome. Small and compact with a slide-up opening system. The phone's keyboard is located on the inside slider which is simply (and smoothly) released by gently pushing a button located on the side of the phone. Not only does the D500 boast great looks, but it's also crammed with excellent features.
1.3 Megapixel Camera
Samsung have embedded a SXGA 1.3 Megapixel digital camera into the rear of the D500 mobile phone. Add photo effects and view your photos on the bright, crisp-clear TFT display with over 262 thousand colours. (1.9 inches) Close-ups or cityscapes, your photos will be vibrant and detailed. Store and play back your perfect pictures from the 92MB internal user memory, add to it multi-shot or any other enhancement features like photo effects and then send pictures wirelessly through Bluetooth or Infrared .
MPEG4 Video
With the D500, you also get an integrated digital camcorder combined into the phone. It will let you shoot movies in MPEG4/H.263 format. Once you're done you can play it back on your phone, similarly to a PC, and then even send it to a friend in a MMS. You can zoom in with a 4x digital zoom while recording up to 60 minutes of video with sound.
Speaker Phone with Voice Clarity

The limited capacity and dodgy exposure are concerns, but they're more than forgivable in such a tiny handset, especially considering its overall gorgeousness. This is a stunning, if partially flawed, mobile. more...

Pros: feature packed, ozzing with quality, quick operating software
Cons: soft ringtone too soft with integrated speaker, pricey, awkward directional keypad
Generally loved this phone. Feature voice clarity which I'd really appreciate. The ringtone is a bit soft though, rendering quite a few missed calls. But this can be solved by the built in vibrating feature. The software system is relatively quick as you flip through the various functions, files and contact list in the phone and reacts to your commands pretty swiftly without significant lag.
Usuage is a breeze, although inserting a name unto a typed SMS message from the contact list could be simpler like on a Nokia.
Generally, a phone that still doesn't fail to impress me after 1 month of usage.
P.S and did i mention: just luv its cool form factor!! ...
