i got one, its grey and blue on Orange.

i already had a Nokia 7610, which is a pretty shit hot phone. i had decided to buy the D500, sell it on ebay (they go for 350ish) and keep my 7610. i started to compare them both, and there isn't really alot to compare, the D500 matches or excels the Nokia in pretty much all departments and is easily the better quality phone.

i've realised how crap the Nokia is. the bluetooth is pretty restricted

you won't be dissapointed with it.
