> In reply to Samsung rules @ 2008-09-05 17:51 from up1bAny suggestions who carries original Korean-made Samsung cellphones? Everything that I have purchased via internet was made in China. To be frank, my last cellphone was Nokia 6300, and while it was made in China, it works great and without any software issues. My original question was aimed at determining whether anyone have purchased i550w from the referenced Chinese site before. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have an opinion whether it is safe to purchase i550w directly from China? This model is available at www.globalsourcesdirect.com at ridiculously low price. The question is whether it is a real Samsung product or cheap Chinese knock-off. Please advise.

> In reply to Anees @ 2008-09-02 12:35 from up1pof course the satelite current position must be downloaded by spesific server address. It is default from Samsung. In Indonesia the server was h-slp.mnc001.mcc510.pub.3gppnetwork.org. It can be different for other country.
To download data u must ensure that gprs connection already set and work fine, test by browsing.
