you can do that with any bluetooth device with the software

aj the quality is ok providing the light is good

it has a flash for still pics which is gash unless your up close and its utterly shite in the dark

but then its a phone and not a top quality digi cam with a badboy lens

im fussy

I've been told it's about an hour video time is that right? This will come in handy at the ring

Craig it has 80meg memory built in and an upgrade slot I think!

I'm just choosing between that and a Motorola V3, went for the V3 as the D500 is thinker than my current P900 Proper bulge maaaaan

(Plus the V3 goes for more on fleaBay so I can flog it and get a D500 is the V3 is as crap to use as everyone makes out!)

The V3 has 5meg and definitely no upgrade slots

But it is bloody sexy!!



Every single shop i've been to recommended the D500 AJ so it sould be ok
(i'm not one to listen to advice though! )

I'm going from an ugly brick of a P900 which does everything and more to a funky little V3 which does nothing!

I have had my D500 for about 2 weeks and i love it , not the usual crap from samsung!! really good screen 256k colour which only a few of the phones i looked at had

I wasnt too bothered about the camera but it turns out to be quite good , not as good as some other 1.3MP camera phones

mine was an upgrade which i paid Ł30

cool phones IMO
