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). |

I hope this won't end up like the D700 and D710 that they announced but never really came out in the market.
resistance is futile. |

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.

Its the Samsung equivalent to the S700 and its much Cheaper, waytogo SE, another overpriced phone shoved aside by a cheaper just as good phone.
