What's Hot

DivX support, included DivX converter software, great multimedia display, case doubles as a back-up battery

What's Not

Design, implementation and cross-over between phone and multimedia functions, expensive, steep learning curve, no 3.5mm headphone jack, battery not removable

The Final Word

The F500 is a great example of a device that promises so much, yet ultimately fails to deliver. It's a nice idea, but in an already overpopulated mobile market, the F500 has too many flaws to make an impact.
