Samsung
SGH
D500
Review
t-mobile-gear
is
proud
to
present
the
the
first
Samsung
slider
handset
with
Bluetooth
enabled
connectivity.
This
soft-touch
slide-up
design
comes
with
a
1.3
MegaPixel
camera
(with
flash)
and
up
to
7X
digital
zoom.
It
has
a
large
176x220
pixel
display
in
262,000
colours,
80Mb
of
internal
memory
and
an
MP3
music
player.
What
more
could
you
possibly
need?
Another
interesting
feature
is
the
advanced
Picture
and
Video
capability.
The
ablity
to
zoom
in
and
out
while
you
are
recording
makes
it
unique
in
comparison
to
other
video
recording
Mobile
Phones.
The
1.3
MegaPixel
camera
has
many
functions,
but
the
most
outstanding,
is
the
broad
range
of
border
frames
that
will
make
every
picture
unique
and
fun
for
storing
and
sharing.
The
Samsung
D500
is
a
tri-band
GSM
phone
with
GPRS
and
it
includes
a
built-in
WAP
2.0
browser
and
email
client.
Of
course
the
D500
also
supports
MMS
and
SMS,
but
it
can
also
be
synchronised
with
a
PC
to
keep
appointments
and
contacts
up
to
date.
All
the
above
features
combined
with
the
large
80Mb
of
memory
makes
the
D500
a
practical
and
fun
media
device.
However,
should
you
start
to
run
out
of
memory
space
files
can
be
easily
transferred
between
phone
and
computer
using
a
USB
cable
or
Bluetooth
USB
Adaptor,
thus
freeing
up
space.
The
antenna
is
invisible
to
the
eye
as
it
is
housed
internally
within
the
case.
Samsung
has
named
this
feature
an
'intenna'
which
as
you
may
agree
with
us
adds
to
the
D500
slick
design
and
shape.
In
terms
of
size,
the
D500
is
smaller
than
the
Samsung
D410
but
a
bit
larger
than
the
popular
E800,
coming
in
at
90x46x24mm
and
98
grams,
which
is
still
a
fairly
compact
device.
Other
exciting
features
of
this
handset
are
the
advanced
Java
Enabled
Games,
which
are
bound
to
transform
you
into
an
addict.
They
go
by
the
likes
of
Forgotten
Warrior
(Adventure
Platform
game),
FreeKick
(Football
game)
and
Arch
Angel
(Flight
Combat
Arcade
game).
Another
important
feature
is
that
basic
phone
operations
on
the
Samsung
D500
can
be
done
with
the
slider
tucked
away
-
the
keypad
is
really
only
used
for
manual
number
dialling
and
texting.
As
we
can
see
Samsung
has
released
a
real
winner
in
the
UK
market
and
here
at
t-mobile-gear
Ltd
we
expect
this
phone
to
be
a
very
popular
and
a
best
seller
in
no
time.
