I've had t68>t68i>p800>p900>k700i and i'm 'upgrading' to a d500 now, it's not costing me much at all so compared to an s700 its dirt cheap, compared to a k700i if price wasn't a problem i'd say it wins.
-better screen
-better cam (even in vga)
-more memory
but...
-poorer mp3 quality through the speaker
-it's not an SE!
-4mb for java (not a problem though, never would i even use that much!)
i've tested the phone in work and it accepts files fine from my k700i (mp3s, pics) with IR and Bluetooth
So for me i'm please with my choice!

Along time after they restock the D500, im guessing...
Im waiting for a D500 from orange should be three weeks. Then i'll be selling my P900 on ebay, seem tobe going for a tidy sum on there. Not bad as it was a free upgrade...

did you try carphonewarehouse?
I went in on Saturday morning for an upgrade for my wife (not that she really wanted it) without any idea of what I wanted and they offered a fairly good price for the D500 unbranded and unlocked on vodafone upgrade. I looked at a few other phones like the V3 (which was the same price but which I already have) but in the end after all the hype on here about the D500 I went for that
actually after playing with it since then I am fairly impressed and have only found a couple of minor niggles

I had to send mine back to the place I bought it at. the bluetooth was totally crippled and it would not connect with anything...
but thats just me STARTING on the phone. The actual software drivers on the phone are REALLY unstable. Mine wouls turn itself off numerous times, for no reason...
Oh well, they were going to send me another one but I told them to forget it. I will use my 6230b for now untill I order my V800 or P910 on payday...

Just a few comments on the D500...
I have had one on Orange for less than a week and am already planning on returning it. IMO it isn't a major improvement on my k700 so im planning on waiting to see what se plan on releasing soon.
My main gripe with the phone is with Orange's customization. I managed to play with a friends D500 on T-mobile (little or no customization?). Anyway, Orange have disabled the ability to assign shortcuts to key directions from the initial screen (ie similar to the k700). This is a major disadvantage, especially as you have to go through the menu to enable bluetooth. Orange have added their own 'toolbar' to the desktop instead. It offers 'quick' access to call list, messages (inboxes), calender and WAP. The toolbar isnt too intrusive, though combined with the lack of shortcuts it is very annoying. Overall, it seems a good phone, unfortunately spoiled by Orange (IMO).
On a similar note, why do Orange customize their phones in such a manner? (I think Voda do it as well?) What is the benefit to them?
Thanks,
Liam
