The D500 is the by far the smallest phone we've seen with a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera. This resolution is currently the highest available on the market, putting it in line with Sony Ericsson's S700i, Nokia's 7610 and Siemens' S65. Stills can be captured in resolutions ranging from 128 x 96 up to 1280 x 1024 pixels in a variety of modes. Using the numerical keypad, you can set frames for your photos, add special effects, zoom in, change the resolution, turn on the flash or swap to camcorder recording mode. After taking a photo, another couple of clicks lets you send it via MMS or assign it to a contact for photo caller ID.

Review

None of the phones of 2004 may compete with Samsung D500 in its power of impression and emotions.
