Samsung Z500 (SGH-Z500)
The Samsung Z500 is the smallest and
lightest 3G phone to date - at less than
100 grams and packed into the same size
case as the classic E700, the SGH-Z500 is
an remarkable bit of kit.
What's more, the SGH-Z500 doesn't leave
anything out that you'll need. There's a
1.0 megapixel main camera, with a secondary
camera on the inside to allow video calling.
The screen on the Samsung Z500 is a 176x220
pixel unit, with 262,000 colours, and there's
a smaller external display at 80x64 pixels
too.
There's a lot more though - the SGH-Z500
can play back MP3, AAC and MPEG4 multimedia
plus many other formats, store data on removable
TransFlash memory and even comes with 50Mb
internally which is enough for many users.

Like almost all new high-end Samsungs, the Z500 is a Bluetooth
device allowing you to easily connect it
up to a PC or accessory. You can also synchronise
with a PC using a USB cable or infra-red.
You can connect the SGH-Z500 to a PC and
use it to access the internet while roaming
too (service limitations may apply).
There's a WAP 2.0 browser on the Samsung
Z500, plus an email client so you can keep
in touch in a variety of ways - there's
also MMS messaging, video calling and more.
This is a really compact 3G device, at
91x45x25mm it's only a fraction larger
than the very popular E700, and the Samsung
Z500's weight of just 95 grams makes it
easy to carry around. The neat internal
antenna also means that it won't snag in
a pocket or bag, unlike some 3G handsets.
Outside of a 3G coverage area, the SGH-Z500
will roam to GSM (it's a tri-band phone)
and supports GPRS, so you needn't worry
too much about coverage.
