Samsung SGH-F500 Ultra Video Mobile Phone Review Samsung SGH-F500 Ultra Video Mobile Phone Review Add to Reddit | Bookmark this article: Samsung SGH-F500 Ultra Video Mobile Phone One of the most versatile and super slim personal multimedia devices, Samsung’s Ultra Video is the first phone to be DivX Certified. Combined with a built-in audio player, the Ultra Video boasts DVD-like quality picture and sound. The company has partnered with DivX to provide DivX Pro as a bundled PC software for Ultra Video users to convert various video files into the DivX format for quality viewing on the SGH-F500 phone. For the first time, users can enjoy Stage6 content on their mobiles phones, only with the Ultra Video. Stage6 is a community video portal which hosts a vast collection of DivX content. Complementing the Ultra Video’s cutting-edge features is an innovative design incorporating a dual face LCD screen - a phone on one side and on the reverse a large 2.4” screen for multimedia viewing. The 2.4” wide screen boasts a 240x320 pixel panel in 262,000 colours that can display video in landscape mode. The phone also has a unique swivel design that allows for an adjustable viewing angle or serves as a stand to be placed on a flat surface. With an internal memory of 350 MB and expandable memory up to 2GB (with microSD™ card), the Ultra Video allows the user to view approximately two movies (each about two hours long). The HSDPA (3.5G) enabled phone allows users to transmit data at broadband speeds five times faster than 3G, for instant information and entertainment on the move. With HSDPA, Ultra Video users can download large files quickly for high quality viewing. The Ultra Video also comes with a 2.0 mega-pixel camera and Bluetooth v1.2 with A2DP stereo headset support. We are so impressed with all that capability and storage capacity packed into such a thin package as well as the ingenious leather case cum extended battery that we feel the Samsung SGH-F500 deserves our Reviewer's Choice Award.

As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a multi-tier review system. This review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware or software. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision. In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases. When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review. After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product. But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online. We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
