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.

1.3 Megapixel Camera
Samsung have embedded a SXGA 1.3 Megapixel digital camera into the rear of the D500 mobile phone.
