Samsung SGH-500 Functionality and Performance

Functionality and Performance

Designed primarily for communication, the SGH-500 operates on GSM 900 networks but lacks modern connectivity options like GPRS and EDGE. The absence of WLAN, Bluetooth, and GPS means it's devoid of any advanced connectivity features. The phone's calling capabilities are supported by basic memory storage, with room for 100 phonebook entries and call records for 11 dialed, 10 received, and 10 missed calls. Messaging is limited to SMS with five preset message templates, and the phone does not support multimedia messaging.

The device lacks a camera and any entertainment features such as games or a radio, which limits its use to basic functions. In terms of sound, there is no loudspeaker or 3.5mm jack, and it relies on vibration alerts and monophonic ringtones. However, it does support six voice languages for those who need multi-language options in voice commands.
