The way I see it, the D500 is an amazing phone, but having played with the K700, I impressed enough just to buy the K700, really, the D500 is overpriced, and by rhe time you manage to actually save for one, somebody will have brought out a better phone....

If $ not a factor, would u buy d500 and not k700 although we are not comparing apple to apple? D500's features alone is enough to kill k700s.
Should anyone take the risk of buying the d500? K700s have been around for quite sometime now whereas the d500 is just out in the market. No one really know about the 'bugs" issue on this phone yet.

I think a k700 is an amazing phone, its immensely powerful, it has :
3gp playback/recording +mp4 playback
Mp3 playing
Radio
3D Games by mascot
etc. etc.
It doesn't have a memory card expansion, Wait for clara, it'll have all of the above, 100 mb AND Memory Expansion. What say you?

If the next k700 can match or even better the features on d500, and stay below 100g, i'll be the 1st to get hold of one. |

D500 UI is not capable of multitasking. If you turn on the MP3 player you get stuck with it, cannot do anything else except answering incoming calls....
While with K700 you can minimize the MP3 player - or the radio, to have full access of other phone's function and keep hearing the music. |

Not able to multitask is one serious drawback in the D500 isn't it?

But how often do you use the 'multitask' function?!!! |

I have had a K700i since Christmas, although I would have preferred the D500 but it was difficult to get hold of then. Bought my wife a D500 for her birthday a couple of weeks ago, and imho the K700i is a better business phone (syncs to Outlook, easier to use AS A PHONE) but the D500 has better multimedia (sound quality much better - my K700i doesn't even match the sound of my old Samsung A800 when playing poly ringtones) and a terrific camera.
So, if you want a phone that can double as a mini PDA, try the K700i, if you are after an MP3 player get the D500.
I expect someone will now shoot me down in flames!

Please tell me people, I love the styling of the D500, and the K700, I'm not bothered with the radio, so tell me, is the D500 a worthwile investment over the K700?
PS: Has anybody got any pictures of the two phones side by side, just for size comparison.
Cheers

Just wrtin down all the features the d500 seems the obvious choice but then its almost twice as expensive+it has big flaws like the inability to multitask, it file support is weaker, memory reserved for java(which is weaker and no 3d support),no radio AND a major issue imo is content...where will you find games and themes for it except maybe buy 1 or 2 off the samsung site??? However it has pros over k7 like much better 1.3mp camera and twice the memory and 262k screen...overall i would rate it slightly above the k7 but hey it costs almost twice as much which makes it a stinker |
