The right thing says everything
Combining practical tools with outstanding multimedia lifestyle features, the SGH-D500 becomes an essential in every person’s hand.
With 96MB of storage space, hi-resolution 1.3-megapixel camera, 262,144-Colour TFT-LCD display, cool MP3 music player, 64-Chord polyphonic ringtones and BluetoothTM technology, the D500 is truly a phone of the highest class and quality.
The Samsung D500, is for all of us who have time and again looked towards products from Samsung with great expectations, only to have them fall on the face when you realise that you favorite feature is missing out. The D500 promises to change things from Samsung and if the mnufacturer continues to improve as it has with the D 500 then products from the company will not just be the number one in terms of the best display or weight (as it has been so far) but also interms of features and specifications, something that Samsung has always lost out on. Samsung is basically the largest manufacturer of displays and other cell phone parts, in fact they even supply to a lot of other cell phone companies. However as a manufacturer themself, they have never broken new barriers.
Below the screen, a D-pad and five buttons gives the option to make calls and access functions via the menu instead of sliding the phone’s number pad open. Alternatively, you can set the slider so that opening it automatically answers calls and closing it locks the keypad. The number pad itself is perfectly designed, a joy for texting with no sponginess to the keys. Type numbers in, and Samsung’s gorgeous, retro sans-serif black numerals appear clearly on screen. Sadly, Samsung has yet to rethink the menu graphics, which are typical of the all-singing, all-dancing icons that appear on most mobile phones and which could be so much simpler.
500 offers a 1.3 megapixel camera and the quality of photos is commendable for a camera phone. Offering resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, the D500 camera also offers numerous shooting effects, including Black and White, Sepia, Negative, Emboss and Sketch. You can also select a wide variety of frames to add to your image and a few button presses allows you to easily format your picture to be sent as an MMS message. The flash for most part worked well, however don’t expect to light up pitch black darkness - you’ll still need your dedicated digital camera for quality photos.”
