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?

as someone posted below you have to put the mp3 into 'my documents' on the hdd. Then when you disconnect from the computer it will be available as a ringtone.

And the usb lead DOES charge the phone :)

anyone know if the phone is charged when you plug it into the computer using the usb lead (NOT the cradle - I know the cradle charges it).

Thanks

As the post below says you can put the mp3's in my documents on the hard drive. You can also put them in the storage - application data - sounds folder with all the others on the phone if you dont want to rely on using the hard drive.
