Italian phone site Cellularmania has pictures of a new Samsung slider they're calling the SGH-D500e - I have no idea where they get that from - also known by the code name "Corona." It's got all the usual good stuff from a modern Euro non-smartphone, including Bluetooth and a 1.3-megapixel camera. It also rides a scooter and says... ciao.

indeed,it looks nice

looks like a upgrade of the dh410... the 410 is a new phone.. what are the differences between the 410 and 500??
Posted by axxxr
Difference mainly being that of the addition of the 1.3 MP camera and bluetooth.
Posted by joebmc
The d410 is a pretty good phone (good screen, and clear video playback) so i would think this to be a good phone?
Posted by govigov
Good. The 500e is better looking than 410, imo.

Looks good

Umm... not to sure about that? I like my phone to have nice sharp edge's rather than the smoothness of most samsung's. tend to think there a bit of a girls phone imo!

nice fone, everything i need but no radio or external memory. any idea when it will be out in the uk?
i need a fone like this but with external memory and that will be the best fone for me.
Posted by kenski
the 80mb internal memory is more than enuff for me. at last ithas bt but still no radio.
Posted by david1975
This looks like a nice phone to me and something that se and others such as siemens should worry about samsung are making big gains in the market se need to produce a phone like this they could do easily
Posted by upper
ermmm when the samsung is closed it looks like a se s700i, anyways thats all cute but what happened to samsung M400 palmtop that was released in s.korea last year, samsung said it was going to release it for EU by end of 2003, and still no signs i guess, apparently it also has t.v. & a GPS wow lol
i prefer that than a radio

D500 is due for November in Sweden.
Posted by SE Rules
Im so upset, the D410 was a cool phone, but it was missing bluetooth, that I need so much... Now the D500 has bluetooth, cud it be NE better? Well, what about a radio, cmon Samsung, bring out the D510....
Posted by peltsi
That will be my next phone thats forsure! Somebody says that it has better camera than S700.. i have seen pictures taken with D500 and have to say that those looks GREAT!!! Well done Samsung! Maybe it has better camera than s700.. It smaller, very good looking, Large memory, mp3 etc. And sensor of the camera is CMOS or how u spel it..? Same camera is in V540 and photos taken with it are superb!! I think that this phone beats S700! Onle memorycard is missing but if u hane 80mb memory u dont need MC! K700i has 41mb and even that is good for me½
Posted by Melik
It's very sexy- But Samsung-Bluetooth ??
Is this samsungs First Bluetooth phone ?
If all the other samsung in the future were aviable with bluetooth... Nice!
Posted by SEnokia
I heard it is only bound to be released in Europe and NA. WIll it be coming out in the South East Asian region too?
Posted by axxxr
Extreme close-up shot!
Posted by p900 lover
im not sure if ppl have seen this but the middle hey that normaly is wap is now a ok key too,
great news.
im really liking this but im not sure how workable the BT will be. if its anything like SE's BT then ill get ASAP!!!
also i have a slight felling that it T-mobile might get it first because of the colour
Posted by Davo_169
this post has no relevance to the topic of the D500, nice phone by the way, i just want to make the little folder catch on fire
MWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA
Posted by clank
Somebody mentioned the camera of this phone bein better than of s700...thats not true coz s700 has a ccd sensor. Also dont know how good the implementation of bluetooth is gonna be tho i hope its like se. Radio missin...not good. Does it have mp3 player? I feel non expandable memory is a shortcomin specially for phones which take/play videos. So featurewise its not near s700 but lets not forget the price ;-)
Posted by p900 lover
any more news on the D-500?
Posted by axxxr
Yeh its out very soon now!
....Full page add in this months Link magazine.
Posted by p900 lover

thanks axxxr for the quick reply
Posted by axxxr
No info on the price...magazine only quotes the upgrade price of £129.00 on O2 & Orange!...Sim free i presume will be around £299.99.
Posted by fatreg

Review of the D500 camera....
Posted by fannypad
What's the screen resolution?
Oh, and going by that Mobile Review page, the D500 camera pisses all over the S700's.

I'd buy this phone it has good BT performance and if it's within the price of K700i. I wonder when it will be released in the Philippines.
Posted by theEND
with a better screen, better camera and more memory, there's no reason why this phone should be priced under the k700.
expect it to cost just a little less than a s700.
Posted by blackspot
with no IR, no FM, no Memory expansion slot, it should be just a bit higher than K700i but not near S700. I don't expect it to be lower than K700i though.

Nooo, more like USD 550. The US dollar is very weak these days (fallen a lot in the last couple of years).
But then UK prices include sales tax (which is higher here - 17.5%), so it's not as bad as it sounds. And I've not found anywhere quoting a real sim-free price for the D500 yet, so there's an element of speculation here. My own guess is that it will be higher than this for the first couple of weeks, then fall below this level (at least I hope it will fairly quickly!).
I admit I'd not seriously considered either Samsung or this type of slider design until this handset, but I am seriously interested. Will wait to see what it is like in reality though (but I understand that mobile-review are just about to post a review very soon).
Posted by blackspot
I hope this won't end up like the D700 and D710 that they announced but never really came out in the market.
Posted by p900 lover
i really like this fone, but im not sure if i should get an S700 insted. iv played with a s700 and its ok, si ill just wait for a D500 and play with it and then decide.
hope it will be out very soon.
Posted by Clearday
Well when u put on a phone " black color" it seems more professional...
but I think samsung doesnt find its way enough good when I look on SE,Nokia...For me,it s not so good phone than my S700i...
Posted by JohnM
Well its in The Links november buyers guide, showing it available now on o2, vodafone and orange. It isn't on their website or in the stores yet. Must be available soon though. I haven't had a samsung since the t100 i owned for a month, but i have to say, this one looks very tempting indeed.
