Hi all!

Been using this phone for 6 months now & I must say that this baby is worth every penny u spend on it. It hasnt yet given me a single problem.

I will point out the +ves & -ves on this one accdg to me:

+ Small, light & snug-fitting in the palm. Can easily handle it with one hand because of correct placement of buttons all around.

+ 1.3 mp camera gives pics that are of above-average quality.. (for folks who say that cam is not adequate, go & buy a digi-cam!! ;) ) Cam is under the slider with a mirror & a flash!! And it has a number of picture modes that give surprising results.

+ Speakers - loud & clear.

+ Slider & Keys - The best part of the D500 is the slider & it just grabs attention whenever u pop it up in public.. True, the first line of num-pad is close to the slider bottom, but well, its ok..

+ Memory - Total 100 MB is enough for a small-sized mp3 collection & java games. Would have loved to have a memory-slot, but the D510 has solved that prob..

+ Speed of operation - A major plus is the speed with which it responds. You will be able to note the difference (opening msgs, launching apps,etc) if u have used other phones earlier.

+ I have been using a BlueTooth dongle to exchange MP3s/pics/vids with my PC; it works like a charm.

+ 1000 X 12-field address book entries!!

-ves:

- MP3 player is good with playlist & all, but you cant play the songs in the back-ground & indulge in something else like texting.

- Message tones cant be customised.

- For text junkies, the 200-sms limit would be dis-appointing. Might have given it in the shared memory...

- BlueTooth consumes the battery a lot.

I might have forgotten to add a few other points here, but the bottomline is that the phone serves you well functionally & if you are the one who likes to flash your phone in public, then this one's gonna grab more than a few eye-balls!!

Cheers!
