I thought i am able to use SyncML OTA, sending data via GPRS to a SyncML server, but I can't find any of such feature after i got the phone. It can only sync with desktop. I am quite dissapointed with it after this discovery, but overall, its still a pretty good phone.

After creating an MMF ringtone is it difficult to upload it to your phone? Do you have to buy a program to do it? Do you need bluetooth to do it? Or can you just plug it into your USB port?
If someone could please take a little time to answer that question it would be greatly appreciated. Email me if you would prefer rather than leaving a message on the board.

this phone is just the best wireless handset out in the market.(well,nothing compared to the phones in korea but...)
i'm making the best use out of this phone!
Bluetooth headset,and I just purchased a bluetooth usb data dongle and i'm enjoying my mp3 player.I even transfer songs using infrared with my friend's D500.you guys definitely should get the usb bluetooth dongle(u can transfer music on your pc to your phone wireless!!!)also share mp3 music with another friend who has D500 using infrared!
remember,to make best use out of this phone,take GOOD advantage of tech called "BLUETOOTH"
very nice phone!

Hi all, i'm a great fan of SIEMENS mobiles as they 're usually built very tough.
I now own a D500 and can't help but feel it's wonderful with enough functions to keep most people happy.
Wish it could:
1) ring and vibrate simultaneously - besides having to create MMF tunes yourself
2) support voice dialing - convenient when driving and using bluetooth.
Concerned about the workmanship:
- Not sure how lasting it is with all the sliding parts, guess we'll only find out after several months
Great phone nonetheless!

Samsung and the MP3 player
MP3 support is absolutely new at Samsung's. I have mentioned it at the ringing tones, where it is possible to set an MP3 file instead of a classic ringing melody. The phone can be used as a limited MP3 player. It is not a limit of memory, which has a record-breaking capacity, but it's a problem of communication with a PC. Loading data via Bluetooth or infrared port is not the right solution; you need to get an USB cable if you mean it seriously.
MP3 player interface
Player functions are another limit. It allows you just to skip among tracks and not to rewind or go forward and get e.g. to the middle of a song. During playing a music other people can call you but you can't do anything else; e.g. write messages. Once a call is finished, the playing won't continue from a place where it stopped - a song will start to play from beginning.
List of MP3 files
The sound quality is good. That stands for delivered stereophonic headphones, which can be used as a handsfree, and also for loud playback directly from the phone's speaker. Also you can connect the Sound Mate, which will improve the sound quality. Just a pity that the connector is not a standard jack and we can use only delivered headphones, as they aren't really top-quality.

I can't seem to get IR working with the software. When I go to setup, there is no IR option as stated in the manual. Does anyone know how to get the software to connect to the phone via IR? Thanks!

i see that some people are comparing the D500 to multiple different phones saying one aspect of it isn't as good as one phone, and another aspect isn't as good as a different one. but how does it compare overall, one to one? and is there another similar phone that is better? i don't want to buy a nokia cuz it's better in one thing and also a sony ericsson for another superior function. most complete package counts. and i think screens are important and i haven't seen a non-samsung that's better. i haven't found a better phone out now that isn't too tech'd out making us robots so if there is one from nokia or whoever, please inform.

i juz change my panasonic x70 to samsung d500. its certainly too small for a man to use as i feel no comfartable to hold it in my hand. the camera is great but its photo its take is more than the screen show(out of border), making me hard to focus, also in its highest resolution it take long time to process the pic. and the wallpaper and video just can't put it full screen. the connectivity is good. overall still a very good cell phone but definitely much more suitable for a lady.
