To use Photo ID functions, you need the third party software like IA Caller ID. There are no internal tools to do this. Everybody who bought i300 is screwed up by Samsung. :-/

Hi; I recently recieved the i300 as a gift and I'm wondering whether anyone knows how to setup photo caller id with this phone. I've contacted Samsung UK and they keep giving me settings for other phones. Thanks.

I've just gone through two of these phones in a fortnight in the uk - there's a hard drive problem and once it happens the phone becomes useable. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem??

Hi there,

Love the phone, getting used to it slowly. One thing...I cant find a decent case for it...everything has a magnetic clasp, which as you know is a bad thing where a hard drive is concerned...any ideas?

Cheers, Rich.

Rob, dial 1760 from your O2 phone, this will cancel voicemail.

Yo, I have this phone on 02. Is there anyway to shut off the voicemail or at least extend it so it picks up after a certain amount of rings?

Does anyone know if you can install tomtom mobile on the i300 and if so can you put it on the hard drive instead of using an sd card,if you can where do you install it to on the hard drive, any info on this would be great.

I've had one of these for a few weeks now.
The hard disk is a nice addition, but it saps the battery life so quickly that's made it only worth accessing when the phone is plugged into the mains or a PC. Using a MicroSD helps quite a lot, it's changed the battery life from about half a day to a day, while using the phone.
I can only get about 2 days use out of it if I just do the odd text message and ensure that all unused apps are closed.
The sound from the speakers in the back is quite good, I would says it's almost as good as the passive sony speakers I bought a few years ago for my Walkman. It's shame that you can't use the speakers for handsfree talking though (unless I've just not found out how to do it yet).
The best feature I've found on it is a bit of software they've included on the CD. It allows the InfraRed port (Samsung saw fit to include a decent one, not the usual rubbish 1 foot range job on most mobile phones) to work as a remote control. I've got it set up for the TV and stereo, it learns remotes quite well.
All in all I am quite happy with it, but I eagerly await a rom update to fix battery life, either by choosing whether to disconnect the HDD or improving it by other means, as well as an update for Windows Mobile 5.

how loud does this go? i hear that it is awesome and "defies belief". is this true? can it be heard in large crowds? would it go to about the loudness of a cd player? does it play all the bass frequencies perfectly? would the sound be anywhere near the quality and loudness of the alcatel ot s853?
