Samsung D500 Review
The D500 was an absolute classic phone, but is now no longer available. The closest contemporary equivalent is probably the Samsung G600, which has a much improved 5 megapixel camera. The Samsung G600 Pink and Samsung G600 Silver are available from Dial-a-Phone. Check out their Samsung G600 deals.
In many respects, the D500 can be viewed as an enhancement of the D410, which itself has much in common with the best-sellingE800. Like these phones, the D500 has a slide-up design, which enables a large screen to be placed within a compact phone design. Many of the phones features are conveniently available on the front face, but a gentle push will make the slide mechanism open and close automatically, giving access to the full keypad below. Unlike the D410, the D500 has an internal aerial, giving it a more modern appearance, and removing the possibility of damage to the aerial. The phone is also lighter than the D410 at just 99g.
The display on the D500 is quite exceptional. With a size of 1.9 inches, a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 262k colours, it knocks most other phones dead, and is even bigger than the display on the D410. The screen uses TFT technology, making it bright and clear, suitable for use even in direct sunlight.
