General Public dosen't know stuff about cell phones and should stick to engineering. You just take the photo thats upside down and go to the photo folder, click on the photo, turn it the right way and save it. Simple! Hes missing calls because he talks nonsense

I agree with General Public. He/she makes some good points. My fone only holds its battery life for about a day only. I always get this message Emergency Service Only. I have to keep turning it off to reboot it then it sometimes doesn't find my SIM card. Very disappointing fone. Don't buy one.

To me, the Samsung Z140 from a point of sale is misleading, backed by bunch of rubbish published and distributed through publishing resources. The Z140 has a maximum battery life of 2 days IF you don't touch it. If you use your phone for general use, it will need to be charged daily but if you use the phone for business use like I do, then don't forget your charger, you'll need to charge it at lunch. If you have enough battery to take photo's, you'll be looking at the screen upside down, and of course, the photo comes out upside down too. There are very little features in this phone that aren't in competitive phones.
As an engineer, I purchased the phone to make/receive calls and take site photos. I’ve missed calls and had the phone drop out due to used up battery or loss of service. So, my advice is to you is to stay clear of the Z140 because honestly it will cause frustration and importantly, the phone in my opinion is not fit for its intended use. At work, my ex-Nokia got full bars, this Z140 barely gets 1 bar.

Yes YOU CAN have mp3's as ringtones. I have done it on my phone. You simply download them to the music folder on the phone and set as ringtone - simple.

for people who want to turn 3g off go to the main menu and choose settings. now go to connectivity then network settings. choose network mode and change the selection from UMTS to GSM 900/1800 this will deactivite it and to get it back on choose UTMS

I have just got this phone and on first impressions think it seems good but I am concerned about the battery life. Please can someone tell me how to turn off the 3G function. I have tried going into connections to change the network setting to gprs as someone had said but don't have the GPRS option. Can anyone help? Please !

Well...where to start ? I will start with the pros. Very good screen. Very bright and very good resolution. That´s it for the pros ! Short, isn´t it ?
The cons:
Battery life very short, even if you turn off 3G features. To do it just go to connection setting and set the network to GPRS. So the phone will not try to switch between GPRS and UMTS. If you leave it and there is poor UMTS...the phone goes to Emergency Services Only and freezes !! You must reboot like a good PC under W98 !! But there is not Cntrl+Alt+Del ! And this several times a day.
Sound is not loud...I miss calls constantly ! Vibration does not help much ! Alarm clock works sometime...it has its own life I think ! I still did not find the reason why it works one day, and one day not ! But the funny thing is that when you set the alarm clock, the previous alarm that did not ring starts ringing !! Very funny ! Like it´s 22h and the alarm clock set at 7 AM 3 days ago rings ! Also the schedule...same pb, events are not shown...sometimes they are shown when you set the alarm clock !! Does anyone understand ??!! So you miss calls, wake up, events...who programed this phone ??!! Was it done by a student during a summer school ?!
Really disappointing. I will never ever buy a Samsung mobile again. NEVER EVER !

just got this phone. not that impressed. battery life is terrible. the menu is incredibly hard to get around. been trying to turn 3G off, vodafone website didnt have info on this, i had to come on here to find out how to do it - very poor.
and i agree with someone down there, the ariel is bloody horrible.
