A commonality across alot of these reviews is the battery life. There are a few ways that battery life can be pro-longed: 12-15 initial charge, thereafter you should NOT let the battery go completely flat - when 2/3 empty - charge it until FULL! Keep in mind leaving bluetooth on consistently will destroy your battery life. Alarms, calendar notes, taking photos, listening to music, using the 3g network all uses up battery life, video recording being the biggest consumer. Apart from that - keep in mind samsung offer a 12 month warranty on the phone (and battery) - so keep your reciept.
This is answering "Johnson's" questions regarding Z500 vs 6600. I wouldnt be relying on the z500 for the job of connecting to the net via GPRS. Nokia's 6600 may not be the right phone for you either. Why dont you put some interest into the Nokia 6680. This phone again is a 3g unit, class 10 GPRS, data speed of 384kbps and runs on a Symbian 8.0a operating system. Which basically means that the 6680 is a more powerful tool, more "setup" for the type of industry that your wanting to use. Being 3g, this also gives seemless roaming between 2.5 and 3g networks when roaming. Good luck mate
This is answering "kenix's" question regarding bluetooth headsets: The Z500 runs on a 1.2 bluetooth version whereas your headset (hs810) runs on an older 1.1 version. The two devices may pair, but you will find that the consistent dropping out, no audio, low volume etc will result from the incompatibilty. If your happy with the motorola headset - i recommend using the newer HS850 (black) which utilises the 1.2 version of bluetooth, otherwise with any new phone its best to stick with the same manufacturer. Good luck
I had a couple of questions about this phone before i go out and buy it, i've been reading a couple reviews and they somewhat contradict one another or don't state enough. Does this phone have an mp3 player, and does it support mp3 ringtones? And how long can you record video on this phone?
the camera sucks..dont buy it

Battery life can be extended by turning off the 3g searching,,menu,,settings,,connectivity.network,,netwrok mode,,change from automatic to gsm 900/1800. Also for time problem turn off the autoupdate option.

Can i hook up this phone via Bluetooth to my PC and use the phone as a modem for Internet on the PC via GPRS. If it cant then I wont buy it. Will buy Nokia 6600 instead! Please help me somebody!
TO DEBORAH
Thanku for the reply. i will take it back to the store today and grab replacement. Hopefully it will fix the problem.
TO SCOTT
I had the same probs when I got mine. The alarm and clock were both unreliable so I took it back and got replacement TWICE!!! My third one can still be temperamental re the alarm, i.e. it goes off when it wants or not at all!! Don't rely on it to wake you up. There is a software prob. Take it back ASAP and get it changed.
Hi! can anyone pls help mi!! I wish to delete my STARHUB operator logo on my z500. but i have cal up samsung and they actually told mi there is no way for this phone to delete. Is it true.
Can anyone please tell me which Bluetooth headset the Z500 is compatible with? I have a Motorola HS810 which does not seem to connect to the Z500, but will connect to virtually any other phone? Thanks.

nice phone to have but battery life sucks
indeed, it is perfect in the size and a sharp camera among all the 3G cell phone. But, dissapointed that the ringtone volume is too quiet, don't think can hear if we put into our pocket or hand bag. that is pointless to have MP3/MPEG player with that slow volume.
