Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Z500A SE phone with Cingular. It should be arriving either Monday or Tuesday. I'm a bit iffy about it now as I've read some bad reviews about it but am keeping an open mind until I get it and start playing with it.
I got it for free so I guess I can't complain.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi...

Hi Dan
When I first time saw a Z500 i Like it right a way,
and I still like it
So I think that you don't make a mistake
But you will judge for your self in few days and please tell us your opinion becouse there is not yet release a Internationl version of Z500

Hi dan, you got the phone as upgrede or u switched carrier?
Posted by Dan1113
I was previously on a Motorola V60 with AT&T Wireless, which as you know merged with Cingular. My plan was bad and Cingular had a better plan for the same price, but because my phone was TDMA, I had to buy a new phone to switch plans.
It was free though so that's nice (though I move next year so I'll have to cancel and stand the early cancellation fee).
It was shipped today according to the order status, and they say it takes one or two days, so it should be here by Tuesday.

What are the first impressions?
Posted by knight4led
Tell us about how fast the EDGE speeds are. That is the one feature I wish my phone had.
Posted by Dan1113
This is my first phone with EDGE (my first GSM phone too)...my previous ones weren't nearly as fancy as this, so unfortunately I can't really compare.
First impressions are good, though the complaints about the keypad are definitely valid. That could have been better, but other than that, so far so good...
My only big complaints are with Cingular's prices.

Is it nice and small?
Hi dan btw
Welcome to the world of mayhem

It's a bit bigger than most flip phones I have seen, and looks a bit different than a lot of them, but I think it's nice -- unique.

@DAN
Welcome to Esato !
I have owned every brand that the U.S. has to offer. SE is the best by far. I have not gone back to any other brand after my first SE.
I am with Cingular as well. If you need any help such as e-mail set up with Cingular or anything else, just let me know as I have been a Cingular customer for many years.
You've made a good choice in owning an SE phone.

Yes it can be used as an EDGE modem. Better than GPRS.
Very fast
