Good Points

I think its a brilliant phone with good features. I think it looks good in black.


Bad Points

The Camera doesn't operate when the battery is almost empty (it bleeps low battery).


General Comments

There are 2 cameras on this Samsung which can be switched for either view. The main camera is on the outside of the clamshell (a square lens) and there's another one in the clamshell which can be programmed to look at the user. It is a round lens. These need to be cleaned not very often. The Camera's view can be altered with effects such as Sepia, Negative and Black and White, but these are only a few effects. Also, contrast, zoom and White balance are enabled.

Within the Camera is a video recorder which works well. It can be set to record Audio Sound or not. This is accessible via Options in Camera Mode. They too can be edited to film effects such as Black and White, including contrast, zoom and White Balance.

Bluetooth works well. If you look after the Z500 these functions will effortlessly work with no faults. You can search devices using Bluetooth near and receive items. It can be attached to the PC via a Bluetooth dongle and a Bluetooth-activated Z500. Infra-Red (IRDA) works the same.

The Z500, pending on your server, can WAP too. It costs money but can go to any URL website whenever you want. Z500 accepts push messages with HTML/URLS.

Perhaps the best features are the MP3 Player and the Transflash Card slot. This means you can insert a MicroSD / Transflash Card with ease and then, by PC downloading, can play MP3s anywhere. The Z500 is a 3-G phone and also a Quadband phone, meaning it can operate nearly everywhere in the world.

    I found this review helpful because it explains about the Z500 in simple ways and includes operation and what you can do with the main features such as the Camera and can make the Video black and white video.
