On http://downloadcenter.samsung....1_090326.pdf thereŽs an English user guide.

The battery will charge when plugged into a computer but youŽll need a special cable (S10). IŽve reached 8 days of battery life whith some calls and messaging. It has very good call quality and feels very solid.

Yeah, does the battery charge when it's plugged into a computer?

I want to buy this phone, but I need to know something first: does it charge via USB?
At what rate?

I have a habit from the old phone to enter the menu with this type of a button... :((

The vibration is low...it must be in your pocket to recognize the call, if it is in your handbag you'll miss it...

This phone does *not* have a camera flash. It has a flashlight at the top of the phone, but this is seperate to the camera and doesn't affect the camera in any way (mainly because it's facing the wrong way!)

I got this phone 3 days ago..

PRO: its real..its indestructible!i went to the sea with the phone always with me (even if in the manual thers written that sealed water its not ok) and i went underwater at 4 meters for about 1 minute.. also i've thrown it in the sand, and i placed it to the sun rays for about 5 hours.. in the evening i simply washed it and...like a new phone ! everything works perfectly!
something more in deeply..also java works fine,there are games preinstalled...you can customize the pad with shortcuts to your fav applications.. camera also works good, max res 1280x1024.Radio HAS NOT rds, its a common fm radio BUT you can record what you are listening, very useful ! the device also hav a voice recorder, a timer and a stopwatch.. bluetooth works good and samsung new pc studio works great with it.Quadband phone.. it has a torchlight (a led) with a dedicated key.. speakers quality is very good.
Battery life its good i've charged it 1 time in 3 days of medium-high usage

CONS: i've found just one bad thing with this phone...the central key in the joypad cannot be re-assigned..and when you press it the wap browser will show up.. i hate this !

for any other question write me !

Just got one (in the moment is charging for the first time)

In real life it looks more beautiful, but I think that using it on daily basis the red paint will peel itself...I had MP3 player with the same material feel, so I say from experience....
