Samsung D500 review from United Kingdom
"Well designed and stylish. Fixes itself! Amazing stuff"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
THE AMAZING SELF-FIXING PHONE!
The 'up' button on the centre button set stopped working occasionally. Managed to fix itself.
The screen image became corrupt, causing ghosting of the clock screensaver, and discolouration of current displayed processes. Seemed to occur when put in pocket. Managed to fix itself!
No problems since!
General comments?
Easy to use and customise. MP3 player is a simple and thin-on-features addition - probably as an extension to the use of mp3s as ringtones. Would be fantastic if message tones could also be mp3s, but they aren't.
Well designed - although the design does inherit the inability to be 'sandy-beach-proof'. Fairly easy to develop and use Java applications on.
Message capacity could be a little bigger - I'm forever deleting messages!
Awesome calender and scheduling ability - I use this for almost everything.
