Samsung SGH D500 Review
mPhone 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 mPhone Ltd we expect this phone to be a very popular and a best seller in no time.
