Toshiba PORTEGE G500 Review

Score: 37 / 100

Toshiba PORTEGE G500 is a quite basic cellphone released back in the year 2007, packing a fast processor clocking at 416 MHz, a little 2.3-inches screen and a 2 mega-pixels back camera.

This cellphone is a bit heavy comparing to other phones , weighting 4.76 ounces. Even though this cellphone has 3.77" long and 1.92 inches wide, it only packs a much smaller 2.3 inches display. This cellphone is a little thick compared to current cellphones, being as thick as 0.9 inches.

Toshiba packed the Toshiba PORTEGE G500 with an average 2.3" screen, and a resolution of 320 x 240 (QVGA), making everything look quite nice.

Toshiba decided to build the Toshiba PORTEGE G500 using a powerful 416 MHz processor and only 64 MB RAM.

This cellphone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and UMTS technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone only has a 2 MP back side camera. In addition, the camera has flash.

The Toshiba PORTEGE G500 features a low capacity 1200 mAh Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite low for a demanding phone like this. This phone has a reported 4 hours talk time and a 240 hours stand by time.
