The Samsung SGH-D500 is a slider-style mobile phone developed and designed by Samsung. It was announced on October 8, 2004 and released at the end of the year as a replacement of the SGH-E800. Considered to be stylish, and incorporating multimedia features such as a 1.3 megapixel digital camera with integrated LED flash, Bluetooth and a MP3 music player, the D500 became very popular and is credited with popularising the 'active' sliding phone concept across all brands.
