The D500 is an awful phone, I dont know why people continue to talk so highly about it. I had one for a week, and I hated it.
Only 90mb of memory on the handset, and not possible to use MMC/SD cards. The video quality is poor, and is the photo quality compared to the latest phones like the Nokia 6680.
The phone of choice has to be the Nokia 6680
IMO, I have been using it for the past 2 days, it has brilliant photo quality, and brilliant video quality, plus a lot more features than the D500.
If u cant get that, go for the 6230i, I think its better than the D500.
