I am Samsung's mobile's fan, and this one would be my 4th slider of this manufacture : D900i / G800 / M3200.
I wanted to buy f400 for a second phone, but now thanks to your revievs of its usage I won't do it.
Reasons:
1- Althrough Screen {2.2"} is better than M3200 2.0" and D900i 2.1" , its still smaller than huge G800 2.4"
2- Internal Memory {24Mb} is a joke/ it schould be at least 80Mb. D900i - 60Mb / M3200 - 72Mb / G800 - 160Mb
3 - OS is average like in most of Samsung phones.
4 - Loudspeaker isn't as loud and perfect as on M3200 Beat (best loudness and quality EVER}
but for sure D900i and G800 has worse speaker and audio capabilities.
5 - f400 dimensions are ideal for me - g800 is big and heavy / d900 is uncomfortably thin / m3200 is close to f400
6 - reliablity of f400 is worse than d900i and g800 althrough is little better than m3200's (5 months and lcd's ribbon cable crashed}
7 - camera isn't crucial for me

Conclussion - f400 is good for people, who want a stylish phone, only for music and camera BUT only while using memory card. Without it - it's rubbish.

Next phone, I'm about to buy is i450 or i560.
(more usefull cellphones than that}

Hello!

Can anyone help me in changing the function of the right function key? It is assigned to Wap by default but I never use it and it would be better to assing to Calculator, Calendar or something else just like on my previous Nokia. Is it possible to change?

Thank you in advance!

Deni

I have used this phone for more than 2 months. For those who are considering this phone, here are some minor drawbacks which u might wish to be aware of:

1. Java applications cannot be run in the background(unlike Sony Ericsson & Nokia S60 phones for eg)

2. The autofocus does not have a 2-step press(however, it takes v clear macro shots(esp 3--5cm)even though it doesnt have a dedicated macro mode)

3. SMS cannot display graphical smileys/emoticons(unless someone can prove me wrong--im a little surprised at this too), only text emoticon options are available.

4. FM Radio is not accessible if u use the 3.5mm jack at the top.(mentioned before)

5. Pictures cannot be zoomed in full screen view mode except for the picture which has just been taken.

6. I cannot find any option to record calls.

> In reply to jacks @ 2009-08-26 20:59 from 3Jcsgo to Settings--->Call settings--->All calls--->Auto reject--->Reject list

you will be able to add or remove numbers from the reject list.

or, if u receive a call from unwanted number u can also block it right away using options or whatever.

> In reply to Shiza @ 2009-09-08 08:07 from PAr0the java applications/games are stored under "Games and more". u can install java apps but it has to be downloaded directly to the phone---u cannot transfer a jar file from computer to F400 and install it.
