Good Points

Small, solid, sexy, bluetooth, amazing screen, dual camera, takes videos, memory card socket (Transflash with SD adaptor), excellent external screen, nice ringtones, good buttons, excellent and solid directional button, speaker phone, good call quality, excellent signal (see review), cool charger light.

Bad Points

A USB charger would be nice (for all phones and PDA's), although it does charge when connected to the PC USB port. A 2 megapixel camera would be nice. A radio would be nice.

General Comments

I have been reading all the reviews for the Samsung Z500 mobile phone, and here is the thing. Up to now 3G phones have been big and bulky, and only tech heads have bought them. Tech heads tend to understand issues like bad network coverage on new networks, and battery usage in these circumstances. The Z500 is the first mobile/cell that actually seems like a normal phone. So a lot of 'normal' people buy it. FACT: 3G networks are not that good. Particularly Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile and Orange. They are new, and the mobile operators need ADDITIONAL planning permission to supplement cell stations with 2100mhz (3g) masts, and that's why progress is slow. The Z500 is an awesome phone. I suggest switching off 2100 band (in the network settings), and only switching on when you want to make or expect a video call, or do a download. That will remain the case for a year or two to come.
