It won't ring and vibrate at the same time, but it will vibrate for a few seconds (quite a strong vibration) and then ring afterwards.

There is NO EDGE on the E870. Samsung has lied to everyone. Check your speeds and it will show GPRS speeds and not EDGE speeds. It is 4 times as slow as my other EDGE phone and there is no EDGE option in the data menu. Very sad.

Answers to 2 of the questions....

1) if your phone wont accept multimedia it's to do with your service provider, not the actual phone. You'll need to ring whichever service provider you're with and they will set it up for you, usually takes around 24 hours.

2) no you can't use mp3 tones for message tones. Unfortunately the only messages tones you can use are the ones that are set in the phone. Not brilliant but it's one of those things. That's the only thing i don't like about this phone, the fact you can't have different message tones, but it's one tiny thing, the whole phone itself is fab!! :)

i can't receive multimedia messages...when someone sends me a multimedia message..my phone says"unable to retrieve multimedia message". Is this because of a setting on the phone or is it my phone service?

i got the phone as a gift few days ago, thought it will have average or bad quality sound but when i used mp3 player with the headphones on.. IT SOUNDS SURPRISELY GOOD, or course its not a music destined phone like some SE or nokia 5300 tho the mp3 player is ok, and it snot true i cant listen to the mp3 player when the phone is closed!!!

You can turn off keypad tones, and you can also turn off the sound that the phone makes each time you open and close it. The keys aren't very sensitive, you do have to press them to make them do anything, only gently but they're not going to do anything if you breathe on them! ;)

Hi, I'm thinking of getting this phone and need to know two things: Does it (like so many other Samsungs) have the irritating tendency of sounding a tone every time you do anything, even if you switch the keypad sounds off? Also, are its buttons over-sensitive like those on the E900? (I have quite a light touch but I found the E900's buttons react even if you breathe too close to them!) Thanks

I got this phone last summer and i love it. It's the same length as the Apple iPOD nano. And yes, you could attach a phoone cord. It comes with a Samsung cord, but u can easily take it off and put ur own.
