Platform and Performance: A PDA-Phone Hybrid
At the core of the Samsung i500's ambition was its operating system—Palm OS 5.2—paired with a Motorola MX1 200 MHz CPU. This combination aligned with the contemporary trend of integrating PDA functionalities in mobile phones. With 32MB of RAM and 32MB of ROM, the i500 offered adequate performance for managing contacts, calendar events, and basic productivity applications found in Palm OS devices. The inclusion of an MMC card slot allowed users to expand storage, albeit limited by today's standards.
