Hi,

About to get this second hand and am very excited :). I've read the comments, and have gathered that:

1) no way to customize themes?
2) No flash wallpapers?

Will I be able to add languages other than english with the Samsung PC Media? And are there any mac users that use this phone?

Thanks

this phone is lovely. but finding it for sale in the UK is like finding a needle in a haystack.

they go and discontinue the one phone i'm desperate to have. typical.

Is it possible for this phone to use flash files as wallpapers (like .swf)?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2007-12-03 02:52 from q{UTthe biggest memory card allowed by this phone is 1G.B (if it's not original don't usse it, it makes problems)
but I preffer 512KB (even if it's not original it works).

it's my best advise on this phone.

2nd, you can not open office documents because it's not a symbian OS.

I have this phone, I really like it, I will reply about the mp3 player: Yes, you can minimise it, and do other things but not bleutooth and camero.

i have one and everybody who see it loves to snatch my phone! but unfortunately, i broke its lcd while i was wrestling with my friends... and so i can't find any repair shop to fix it because its parts is abroad. samsung e870 wasn't released in our country so.. i'm very disappointed and causes me disquiet.

this is just sleek and easy to handle. the portability is a plus for the designers. it has a large enough memory to store my stuff. my only worry is the speaker. u hardly hear any sound in just a little noisy environment. it would have been better if the ringtone signal had a different speaker on the outter.i love this phone

wow, so long since someone has commented on this phone!

I got this phone for my bday last year on o2 pay as you go. i only got it because my N73 did not support A2DP (at the time, now does with latest firmware). It didnt come with a data cable or software disc.

Also regarding the memory card as far as I know its 1GB max, as I have put a 2GB and it did not work!

Use it as a spare now, love it,

I so perfect & so sexy! My friends commented on how cute it was and got in trouble for screaming so loud about my phone. I escpecially love the light feature. When I bought mine, to save money, it was used on ebay and the seller suggested that the quality was poor. The only thing that was poor was the scratches but it was in perfect working condition. My advice: buy this phone with no questions asked. Buy a used one and save some money to save $50.

P.S. I bought new housing for that phone and it looks brand new!
