i found the g600 camera good its the screen on g600 that was washed out..we cannot start putting this fone down till its out because samsung look outside the box with vivid messaging,,active themes changing wen its nite or day,,sonic wellness etc wheeas other firms just carry on with not much thought..

@ 5xrr,,well done, who needs wi-fi with 3g much more available just get good data plan..Wi-fi eats battery and in uk its £5 an hour and hotspots are still rare and for 2 hours in a hotspot i get 1 months data plan!!!I think from you putting dollars you are in america but i am in uk so release date may differ..

This is clamshell plus 5mp plus 2 of samsungs usual vivid and colourful screens..if its out when you say we will get a gsmarena review perhaps a bit earlier..Samsung dont half squash in the electronics i suppose their using their SSMT in the g400 and lets hope the thinness is not at the expense of battery power...

I just want to know if this phone is durable since I'm clumsy with phones... I simply want a phone that has simple features and I dont care much for wifi... if you want a wifi go with blackberrys.

Some people are moaning that the g400 does not have wi-fi well heres my rant,,,,,,

Wi-fi eats your battery,,

In uk summer is on way and you cannot get wi-fi on beach and only at hotspots which will charge you £5 an hour and hotels still charge you

If your using your home wi-fi connection who does that?? if your at home surly you would use your computer rather than piddling around on a tiny screen,,these are portable devices when you are out and about to keep you in contact..

Gprs and 3g and rarer hsdpa is their almost every where so wi-fi not needed...

There are also complaints about it not being quadband well in 850mhz countries their is little technology to support the g400 apps so its not intended to go to these parts of the world....

I cannot believe people complain about silly things like the above or saying the fone will not sell because its only 3.2 mega pixel when 3.2 mp is the best for the camphone sensors at the moment and produces the perfect 6" x 4" photograph..or that the screen is only 262k colours!! in fact its 262k which produce the best screens as proved by comparing the d900i with the g600 screen,,the g600 is washed out at 16 million colours but d900i is vivid and in nokia fones the 16 million colours dims the screen ....

Well most of the people look past these silly points,,my s/ew900i was only 2 megapixel and has produced most of the best shots of a camphone and samsungs d900 it pretty spot on too.
Rant ended
