You're right. Samsung support for that particular model is absolutely marginal. I think it's just because they have no real plans to implement it any more. In Germany, for example, they could not force the phone to work with O2 network... Shame on Samsung.

Nope, 3rd one now and it's pretty much as bad as the others....enough now, it can go back. Voice dialling poor, in call quality of sound is poor. Shame really, I liked the phone, but even going to Samsung had the response of "Well, it might just be poor on that particular model"....great, what service! If you want a music phone with big storage, then great, but don't anticipate it being anything other than a basic phone...my old 6230 beats it hands down for basic phone functions....even that voice dialled when driving. The only time the Samsung works is if its completely quiet, then some of the time it picks the right contact.

Rich, you should add the voice tag to the contact through the BT handsfree... It works perfect in my case. I do not know what causes the problem.
After a month of using this phone, I should say I will probably replace it with Nokia e70 ASAP... :-)

Stupid phone....!!! I got my replacement today and re-synced all my files etc....ok, no problems apart from it deleting the odd wav file when it sees fit!! What's that about?
Worst problem though is the Voice dial...what a waste of time...it gets the correct number maybe 1 out of 10 times, (less via a bluetooth headset) thus it's useless for me (and probably anyone else that drives a lot in connection with work). What's the point of it having all the bells and whistles if it can't even do a simple task such as voice dial...my old 6230 did that 2 years ago..!! Oh well, back it goes for something else then I guess. Maybe a separate phone and PDA...now where did I put that trusty old Nokia?
Bye bye Samsung (unless someone can tell me how I record my voice and link it to my "Contatcs" so it recognises what I say and dials the correct number...as far as Ican tell, the i300 does not have this simple feature).

I think it is an amazing and stunning phone but i am in two minds whether to buy this phone or not. The reason why i am saying this is that, I have read other reviews about the battery, that it drains alot when using the phone and because of this i am very confused about buying this phone.
Please, I need all the advice and help from you people out there who have this phone!!!!!! Please email me as soon as possible. PLEASE, PLEASE AND ONLY PLEASE nicklaw8@yahoo.co.uk
I really need to know what i am going in for in other not to end up regreting about my decision buying the phone or not!!!!!! THANKS EVER SOO MUCH!!!!!!!

Thanks Galaxer...!!
I'll have a look at that case....
Meanwhile the phone has gone back as faulty...speaker distorted every voice, and was worse via bluetooth, all bassy and muffled sounding...anyone else found this? Also, the voice dial would not recognise any name via bluetooth (Jabra 250V), and threw up all sorts or just failed. Is this normal?
For all those asking about SMS tone changes...I stored a small Wav file to the memory of the phone where all the other SMS tones are listed and it worked perfectly. Seems as though there's limited storage though as I initially stored 3, but only 2 stayed when I rebooted after a recharge.

1. How do you get activesync to work?
You have to change USB mode Start - Settings - More - USB Mode from "Mass Storage" to "Active Sync". Should work fine. :-)
2. How do you set a WMA file as a ringtone.
Put the desired tone in the directory "Ringtones" on the HDD or Storage - Application Data - Sounds in the main memory of the phone.
3. How do you get the samsung media player to sort tracks by album and genre-
No idea.

Just a few questions:-
1. How do you get activesync to work? I've tried everything. The computer recognises the devise as a USB device but when I start up activesync it says there is no connection (I have set it to activesync, not mass storage btw).
2. How do you set a WMA file as a ringtone. This is really bugging me.
3. How do you get the samsung media player to sort tracks by album and genre- it will only sort them by title and artist whereas wmp 10 will sort them by everything.

hey if u go onto harddrive(hdd), settings, disk space, then disk compression, you can compress it so u can have a hard drive equilavent of 6gb! very slightly less but round about. it would mean all mp3s turned to aac, and resolution of photos/vids slighlty downgraded but this is hardly noticed. i did it today and it means i can now hold double the amount of songs. cant believe no one told me about this, well worth doing.
