Why is everyone (well almost) raving about this phone ? Is it advertising
hype.  I'm told that you have to press about six key strokes to access the
address book after compiling a text !

After initially raving about the phone, unfortunately I'm starting to agree.
The cracks are strating to show - simnple things like not vibrating when
ringing, or names being the wrong way around in the phone book. GPRS modem
is also giving me hassle. File management is also confusing. Where is the
the shortcut to be able to turn IR or BT on and off quickly?

It's a shame, 'cos these are all minor things that add up and can each be
fixed in firmware. However based on the arrogance of all the main phone
makers including Samsung, I doubt these things will get fixed.

Oh well. I guess it will do till the k750i comes out. Or maybe that new
Nokia. Having said that, judging by how easily they've all messed up
previously, perhaps I'm just expecting too much.

Totally agree, D500 is a let down now, common as muck, and even scuffers are
using them.

Yay my anti-d500 following is increasing in numbers!

It's an overly-expensive phone for what it possesses.

Hey I feel sad that it's let down by such small niggles. And I hope it is
expensive - I hope to fund my new phone by selling it.
