Had this phone for a year and its tuff as they come been dropped about 20 times still working fine. I finally got so sick of the sound i took it apart and turned around the speaker and made some fine holes for the sound to come through and have not missed a call yet and mp3's are much louder when its closed. Its perfect now.

Hi, I am a proud owner of this phone. Yeah, there are a lot of problem with this phone, but the worst of all is the Speaker problem. Anyone out there who know any place or how i can fix the speaker so it can sound louder? Please post a link.

Finally, I had found a way to install JAVA games and apps to this phone by using the memory card and not by using WAP. Email me for more info.

Ive had the phone for a while now..and it sucks. I got it because it looked great. The ringtones are so low that in a noisy environment u can barely hear it. The keyboard is hard to get used to at first..but after a while its ok. the biggest problem is the reception, its simply terrible..and the phone needs to be charged often. This was by far the worse phone i had, now i got the n95 and it is just amazing.

Hello All..
I like samsung's mobiles.And at this time im still using d830.I used Prviously x700,D820..what i need in mobile..Camera must should be Exellent.sound must should be Good in handfree.Not should be in normal phone's speaker (its not good for office)..
And I must need Record conversation...and Full screen movie play..D820 has record conversation in durring call option...
But d830 has not appear option for record conversation..but we can easily do like that..after durring call press option menu, application,Voice record and press i button..or press option 2,3,2,i...all other comany's mobile that have record conversation .they will bust give a beep after 5 or 20 second like se nokia..and caller can hear that beep and must know abt ur recording...D830 has Great LCD and Camera.. And has great sound and u can do everything after play the music .cause media player can hide by press back button..
I like d830 2.it can play full screen movie play.. when u play movie just press 1 key.And samsung has a great security for ur personal sms and files . it can lock by a password.. not in other company's mobiles..
I suggest u that if want a Great Display and Cam . u must should check the samsung one...sandstormmix@yahoo.com

Does this phone support opening a document while the music player is on (playing mp3s from memory card)?
What time does it take opening a picture in full screen?

It is available in my country for us $200, which is good price for such handsets.

Whats up!!! Man I don’t understand why English only? (point 3) if you tell about the discrimination (point 4)!!!!!!!! Any way. I just want to say that its the best phone y ever see, I have been compare it with others and Samsung always be winner. The screen its very good, the pictures have better quality than others (phones) whit 2 mp camera ( I don’t now why), and the video have a super quality MP4 352x288 resolution super super super better than others. But I don’t like: >low sound, you cant use sound and vibration at same time, you can only use the preset melodies for messages, but all it really doesn’t matter, the others functions cover it (you really don’t need it). I can study my PowerPoint presentations ,and watch my documents of Word, and many other thing. Like watch my beyonces videos (mp4) no one cant

I have this phone and i'm using it and the pro is that this phone has a very large scrren. 2.2 inc witch I like the most
and also external card and so on..
con is that it is actually hard to press the button since it's embedded into the phone
, the opening the program takes some time ,and the sound is not so loud.
