Just one more quick question, when the battery goes flat, does the phone automatically switch itself off? There is charge in it, when Phones 4 U set it up.

I'm not sure I'm following here - what do you think happens when the battery runs out?

Anyway you should charge it up before using it - although this is not as important on a lithium battery.

And don't expect the battery to gain it's full potential until a few charge/discharge cycles...

He can correct me if I'm wrong but I think he meant as in a shutdown - kind of like in windows?

Yeah thats what i meant, i mean it beeped on and off for what seemed like an hour, and then just switched itself off. Im now charging it. They say the first initial charge is meant to be for 12 hours isnt it?

The recommeded initial charge is usually in the manual somewhere. BUT some chargers/phones will stop charging when the phone is charged up anyway - and then some chargers will switch to a trickle charge at some point. So - if I was you I'd put it on charge and leave it overnight or something...

BUT - there's nothing to stop you having a fiddle with it while it's charging.

Would 12hrs be ok, went dead at 12:40, so 00:40 should be ok to take it off. It says its fully charged, but im gonna leave it for now, cos i dont believe that 4 hours is enough for the first charge to be honest. :)

I think 12 hours will be fine. As I said before you have to worry about memory effect etc much less with a lithium battery.

your computer MAY have bluetooth on it allready. my laptop does. i think the d500 has infared to so your pc MAY have that to. infared is a bit slower and your computer has to be bang nect tot the phone

I have a NEW D500 ;) It is a nice phone IMHO

4hrs (or less) to Fully Charge it (after 1st 12hrs). Easy to add Shortcuts so Create SMS, Inbox & Fun Box are 1 Button away ;)

A FEW thing thats REALLY bugging about D500. :(
1) You CANT edit SMS RingTone to a Custom Sound.....
2) You cant disable SMS compose beeps & keep dialed number tones
3) You cant edit Slide Up & Down to Custom Sounds (I wanted a Light Saber) :D

Many little things make it that much more annoying :(

Oh... Regarding £15 on SIM Card. Sell it on eBay?:p:

Just wanted to ask 2x Questions...

1) My D500 has a Speaker. But on my friends D500 he can have Hands Free Call by pressing "OK" during a Call. My newer D500 Cant? Any setting I need to enable?

2) Every call I do says: Conditional Forwarding before the Name/Number I call... Whats that mean?
