Thinking of getting a new phone tomorrow, if i can get outta bed in time. Looking at the D500 coz it looks stunning.

Is it good ? Know someone on here had one before they were officially released or something...

Anything else i should consider, dont really want Nokia...

d500 looks cool & has got good features, but its awful to use


as nemo said 6630 is a monster of a phone & so is the k700(or the s700 if you dont mind paying abit for your handset)


i have the s700 & definatley recomend a sony ericsson. the best manufacturer by far

i had the Samsung 3700 and found it realtively easy to use, assume the D500 has the same sorta interface ?

Just looked @ the S700 looks rather nice, and i've got a T610 at the moment, housemate has the K700 and it works very nice. Impressed by it must admit

Sony ericsson

I sold Steve a K700i today I should be a bloody rep for sony ericsson i swear!
Ace fone!

D500 is nice, orange one im not sure if it differs but they have i think installed a little shortcut menu on the main screen which is a pain in the arse!

Get an S700, k700i, p910i, k500i, T610/T630 V800 or dont bother

Was thinking the V800 for months, but it's only on Vodafone at the moment, and it's a lot bigger than i thought it was going to be

yep its only the Orange version that has the little shortcut

as for ease of use- the menu is differant to the E700.
the D500 uses a grid menu(all the options on screen at once) & i find that some of the buttons can be fiddily to get to( especially the up button) It really pissed me off when i used it. also the bottom row of buttons on the keypad are a little tricky to get to cos theres a lip around the bottom of the phone

bet you cant do the 6630

not even the boffins over at the nokia boards can as it has a new DCT5 version.

And vodafone have installed protected settings so once its installed you cannot remove mms/gprs settings to be replaced with new ones
