[hristian00]

Please make a video how to slide the cover off! I cant do it .

[TheSweenyToad]

Guys I have a choice between HTC Explorer and Nokia 500, which one is better?

[DreadLord786]

@TheSweenyToad Hey! Get the explorer. Its great, you wont regret it. It has a dedicated graphics chip and its running the the android ginger bread 2.3.5. Very responsive. Dont get the 500, Symbian is horrible. Android is waaaay more efficient.

[TheSweenyToad]

@DreadLord786 Yeah I just got the Explorer and I'm loving it!

[hasnain079]

HEY IS IS BETTER THE GALAXY Y OR NO????????????

[waqarisfine]

I still like NOKIA 3310. It's useful in breaking almonds.

[OOSCVRR]

@13laziokos dude i have got it for more than a month and it hasnt shown any problems except it freezed once but it was because the aplication i was trying to run wasnt compatible, of course is a little slow with anna but is because of the way that O.S works, with the update to belle probably a lot of problems will be fixed like the lag in some aplications and a lot of other things... By the way thumps up so everyone knows the Belle update is avaible now!!!

[rocklinex]

pls help whenever i click camera on my nokia 500 it says "unexpected error occurred please restart the camera, if this does not help, try restarting the phone"...

[ricstars95]

Nokia Belle is now available for Nokia 500!

[safwan997]

[109makoto]

If this was on android OS, I would still buy a Nokia phone. Goodbye, Nokia.

[beriking]

im sorry i really dont like nokias, im just checking this out, cuz my friend has just bought one and i was just wondering... nokias seem to be so... how to say that.. hm, if nokia was a human it would be a selfish, mean bitch :D dont know why :D

[dontnou3]

Do you guys think that in the future cell phone cameras will record at 60fps?

[megadeath8317]

@dontnou3 A movie runs at 24.99 or 25 frames a second. That's a maximum that a human eye needs to enjoy moving pictures.

60 fps is way too much and is unnecessary for motion picture.

[ahmadfirdaus98]

i want to buy this nokia 500 phone.

[Shakaibchannel]

does it have games like android??

[babyboy1080]

@Shakaibchannel no it doesn't

[109makoto]

If this has android installed, I'll be sure to buy it. Come on, Nokia!

[raghibma]

@109makoto it doesnt but has cool apps on ovi but not as many apps as android

[ru1nUS]

I like 700 more

[carmelokm]

NOKIA SUCKS..The only Nokia phone that ever made a bit of some sense was the Nokia 5310....the Rest is shit..ANDROID FTW

[Athrunwong]

Sorry Nokia, I wish you have android.

[dontnou3]

@Athrunwong what the heck is so special about android os anyways?

[MFaheemAkbar]

@Athrunwong they make Symbian because No one else

[praneeldude]

android sucks symbian rockssss

[diretdisco]

so far nokia never cant got place like samsung motorola htc lg. nokia needs android. symbian is lack. android is much faster than symbian.android getting much power from battery but its work very powerfully.never gonna slow.but nokia . good news is now they built with windows...

[inyourlittlemind]

does this have an app store??

[Oceanss12]

nokia site says 8 megapixel camera... You're wrong!

[lesbiansdontdosport8]

@Oceanss12 nokia uk website says 5mp

[PlastBlast]

Can somebody who have Nokia 500 throw me basic theme pictures to the PM? Cuz I have formated mine one and I deleted those.

Anyway, phone is awesome!

[Lazengogh]

This looks good for its price. I don't need flash, i never use it in real cameras either... but .. dedicated camera button and 15fps (wtf) videofps is a major let down :( ... I'd probably want android a tad more, but Nokia's offline GPS is far more useful especially since the Symbian is not that bad at all these days.

[dontnou3]

faster than the n8?

well, now that's a let down :(

[673ukhan]

I have no complains about the interface neither OS but Nokia should have given a physical camera button at least!!! WTF

[raghibma]

i have this phone!!!

[ATOMtoADAM11]

@raghibma dude please help me. tell me about this phone. is it quick?is it scrolling good?battery?internet?i'm really confuzed:/

[keenaixxx]

@ATOMtoADAM11

well, it's ok.. you have to wait for a few seconds for the pages to load

scrolling is great. battery usually last for a long time.

[NickyGangstah16]

@raghibma is it good? i have a N97 and i cat get this one for free. is it good?

[raghibma]

@NickyGangstah16 yup its good get it

[Hyyra]

@raghibma

its good phone i have it

[nkj101091]

i want to buy this mobile...m i right or wrong please say something

[raghibma]

@nkj101091 you can get it its good but gets hanged sometimes

[stuffit321]

@carmelokm as to point two yes I can agree that the app selection isnt very good but honestly if you're buying a cheap 3.2' phone apps probably aren't your main priority. and you say the phone is bulky but it easily fits in the reviewers hand and it is very small compared to the 4.3" behemoths you see many android users carrying around

[stuffit321]

@carmelokm

ok well I can immediately disqualify points 3, 5, and 6 because "nokia sucks" is not a valid reason to dislike this phone, neither is "its not an android device", the iphone isnt android but I dont hear many people complaining about that. and six is opinion, and a stupid one at that. ok as to point one I can see that you might not like the user interface but that is your opinion, i actually think the UI is pleasant looking and quite similair to android

[dedasdude]

i have a nokia c6-00 which cost more. but has lower specs. but my camera is awesome!

[carmelokm]

@dedasdude fuck your nokia shit..get andriod

[Bar0N27]

@dedasdude go take a picture with you awesome camera to a shit....and then eat both!!! If you´re smart enough, You were thinkin about more stuff from a phone, not only the camera. BTW you´re a stupid child! when you grow up, you´ll learn more things about phones ;)

[leila1361]

can I read PDF files in it?

[Sidgd1987]

13 are fuckin shits

[carmelokm]

LOL..even the Cheapest Andriod Phone is way way way better than this crap...lol..nokia 500..wtf?

[stuffit321]

@carmelokm soorry since when does the cheapest android phone have a 1ghz processor? cheap androids have shitty 600mhz processors

[carmelokm]

@stuffit321 its not about that man...1.this phone has a boring user interface,boring fonts 2.crap apps 3,Nokia sucks 4.bulky 5.Its not an andriod device 6.its shit

[Bar0N27]

@stuffit321 you numb nuts!!! the only 1 who suck is your fcking Android shit!...If you don´t know nothing about best devices (Nokia) keep your fcking mouth SHUT! X(

[carmelokm]

@Bar0N27 hahaha...calm down man..can you seriously compare my Samsung galaxy S2 to any of this Nokia shit?come on man,Nokia sucks dick...Oh flip,just wasted my precious time looking at a shitty phone called Nokia 500..is it even a phone btw?

[KarriKoivusalo]

@carmelokm

"Can you really compare my SGS2"... well, you compared the Nokia 500 to the cheapest POS android phones, idiot fanboi. Go die in a fire, please.

[carmelokm]

@KarriKoivusalo haha,can't die in fire coz I'm the flame... seriously though,this phone sucks...not even a dumb prick can buy this shyt..

[KarriKoivusalo]

@carmelokm Go stick your pointy head in a blender, cockbreath.

[carmelokm]

@KarriKoivusalo try harder,is that meant to be offensive?jokes nowadays..sad really

[Bar0N27]

@carmelokm yes you´re right! I cnt compare those phone but nokia it´s still good phones.....even better than OTHER adnroid devices!...XD

[Bar0N27]

[Bar0N27]

[carmelokm]

[carmelokm]

FORGET ALL THIS CRAP...ANDRIOD FTW..that's it

[Sarg3r]

Sony Ericsson live with walkman is better! WTF is Symbian Anna?

Andoid FTW !

[Bar0N27]

[nguoibatdau]

This smartphone is awesome at the price of 4.500.000 VND in Viet nam ( approximately 225 usd), 1 Ghz processor and 5 megapixel camera, but when I see the browser in this review video, It makes me a little disappointed, But may be value for money.
