AMY LOOK AT THIS hi, you have asked about puting MP3s on the d500, easy!!! first you need to buy something call a BLUETOOTH USB DONGLE, load up the soft were and you can send videos and images and MP3s all to your phone. 02 shops sell dongles and most mobile phone shops do!

Hi
Can anyone tell me if the D500 has adjustable size fonts. When i recieve a TxT on my current V600 i struggle to read it without my reading glasses which i do not have with me when im in the pub ect.

Can you set the font to a larger size as the default on the D500.
Thanks (in anticipation)

The last time I bought a cellphone was when I lost my Nokia 7110. It was about four years ago. I got a Siemens ME45. It was one of the top phones of its time. Recently, it has been showing its age and the battery is draining much too quick.
Looks like it's time to finally buy a new one. I searched the net and the local stores in Cebu and I kinda liked what I was seeing in Motorola V3 (Motorazr). I was also liking Nokia 6260. Then I happened to meet one of my friends at a store and they looked at Samsung's new phone, the D500. They mentioned that it's voted the best phone of the year. Hmmm... so I looked it up.
And before I knew it, I got one! :-)
It's a really cool phone! I very much like it. The features and specs are already quite good but still I have some wish list for some of its functionality (a firmware update will do).
Before that, let me just say that I got mine for P20,000.00 flat! Well, that's a hefty price for a phone but that's already a bargain considering that some are selling it for as much as P26,300.00. It's already open-line and with 1-year warranty.
It's a pity though that due to the vanity of most of us, phones are getting more and more expensive.
Anyway, here's my wish list for a firmware update of the D500:
1. On top of the English locale (and some other built-in support for other locales), it should have the option to change the locale to Chinese (I sometimes text in Chinese).
2. Be able to insert newline character (on an SMS message or notes).
3. Option to prolong IR activation.
4. Be able to insert text or numbers from the contact list.
5. Option to select the display of the contact list either from the phone only, SIM only or both.
6. Be able to organize the text messages in folders (or maybe at least an archives folder will do).
7. Option to secure certain folders instead of just their categories.
8. Be able to use downloaded sounds or music as message tones.

lora, i've seen the d415 at a tmobile store. if i am not mistaken its the same dimension. it is really small, compact. probably the size of a credit card when the phone is closed, although it is not as wide. another good thing about it is that it doesnt have an antenna.

First of all , It's quite cute and suited for both man and woman . I like it very much . but i haven't used it yet . so i don't know much more about it . but this phone offered nearly almost all the functions , compare with other phones . But the weak is , In Myanmar , the price of this phone is higher than E800 though the actual price is not like that . What's wrong with that ? :( I'd buy if they reduced price ! absolutely!
