Written on: 08/05/2005 by prathamesh

Having very low rate, features provided good enough. Light in weight, durable battery, memory good. The strong backlight penetrates in your eyes, no good use of service colour, no outbox or archive in msgs. Hard keypad. Back body cant be changed when used up (would look odd). (read more)

I like the samsung N500 and every thing, but the screen is very boring when you haven't got a logo. I would like it if you could do something about it to get logos for the phone, or you could make it so that you download animated screensavers over the boring ones that are already on the phone and i dont only speak for my self on this one i speak for every one who has got a samsung N500.

This is a pretty cool phone which has the looks. The software is not all that great though and no phone manufacturer can compete with nokia when it comes to user friendly software. The keys are too hard and ring tones suck. It doesn't vibrate for messages. But otherwise its a great phone. I just wish they could do something about the vibra mode for messages. (read more)

Having recently reviewed the "must have" T100, (which I was quite happy to see the back of) the thought of another silly Samsung filled me with dread. But I was pleasantly surprised by this good looking and lightweight little phone.It shares the same Samsung "good looks" as the T100, (an area where Nokia could take note) but has only a mono screen albeit with a super blue backlight.The menu system is easy to get to grips with and you can enter the sub-menu numbers directly into the keypad to...

The samsung N500 mobile phone is a very lightweight, good looking and cheapish nokia alternative. It performs well in limited reception sending text messages everytime. It does have limited battery lifespan - typically 2-3 days with limited use. I've found it difficult to find graphics to download and ringtones to input, but someone with experience in these areas should have few problems.

I like the phone, it does everything well and quickly - plus it's not a Nokia and it's good to be... (read more)

Written on: 30/06/2004

I was happy with it when I first bought it last year. One flaw that I discovered later is that as the battery compartment at the back is part of the phone skin, you can't change the color of your phone at will. Prospective buyers - Please ensure that the skin shade you choose is available in the market at will. Or you'll find yourself in the same funny situation I'm in right now. I had chosen the "Fine Gold" shade for my model and now find that Samsung has stopped marketing the shade. Two options in front of me are - either carry around a phone with paint all peeled-off; or throw it away!!
