The Samsung SGH-D500 is a

Samsung SGH-D600
. There is a very similar variant handset, the SGH-D500E.

Due to wireless networks supplying the D500 to customers with branded software, this phone is very often "flashed" by owners. This removes/changes onscreen branding, the unpopular shortcut sidebar and non-optional sounds (e.g. branding sound on power-on/off). The new software can add features such as voice-dial and voice-command, and increased memory availability.

The SGH-D500 received some criticism for not having expandable memory (via a memory slot). There are known issues with the screen of this phone. The screen connector can disconnect, resulting in various display issues. The screen is also vulnerable to being damaged through careless use or accidental impact.[3]

The phone was popular and sold 12 million units worldwide, also making it Samsung's first phone to sell over a million.
