 Lamby's recommendation | |
Small, sleek and very handy. Looks the part x10.
Unfortunately looks aren't everything .... well I suppose they nearly are with the Z500! Software non-compatible with Windows ME.
Buying the Samsung Z500 was my first move away from a Nokia. I will probably be going back sharpish! Thankfully I didn't pay for this handset, and I kept my Nokia 6230.
I had to put the software onto my child's laptop which has XP. I still cant download MP3's onto the handset! Perhaps there is a secret I have yet to discover, but I am clearly not going to find it in the manual.
I too am having to charge the blighter every night virtually, ans I did give it an super long first charge, even though though the instructions just said that 'the battery may need charging'.
Game demo's are cool, but you don't get a full game, not one full version! (You'll need a magnifying glass for the text on games too).
No sample music, no sample videos.
Here's hoping that it will do something to amaze me before I put it on the shelf as a spare handset. Perhaps that will be the 3G, when someone I know also gets 3G! (If the battery can hack it?).
Not wanting to appear too negative, but the reception is noticeably lower quality in lower strength signal areas!
Sorry Samsung.
