Hi guys. Have this phone for a 2 months now the wifi version. love it. The only thing that bugs me is that it restarts during conversions at times. Anyone have any solution to this problem? As far as i know there are no firmware updates.
Cheers.

ive been using this phone for two weeks, and the restart problem really occurred. It usually happen when i run an application, and the backlight is turned off due to the limit which i set it for 10 second in the setting, then suddenly the phone will restart after that. so, ive countered this problem by setting the backlight for longer time (10 minutes). but the longer backlight is on, the faster the battery drain. so to turn off the backlight, i lock the keypad.

Jovan: Depends what you what to do with the phone. If you need a phone that great for email and sms on the move, then I'd go for the i780 or better yet wait for the blackberry 9000 bold which promises to be the HOTTEST phone on the market. If on the other hand you want a phone with features similar to the N95 with the high price tag, then the i550W is a good choice. Questions you should be asking include what operating system(MS or Symbian), what apps (Office, Comms, Games), what features (Camera Megapixels, Music Player, Browser). For me the first thing I look for is WLAN and HSDPA coz I want high speed access. I prefer Symbian coz there's more support and more apps and games. I don't use the camera a great deal but I do want at least 2 megapixels which gives 1600x1200 photos. I use the music player and internet browser all the time so these are really important. But overall I want to keep my costs down so I can keep buying new models on a regular basis coz I love playing with new gadgets. You can use the phone finder on this website to help narrow the models. One good tip if you dont know what frequencies are used in your country is to use the network coverage tool on this website. In Australia, Telstra uses 850Mhz and Vodafone uses 2100Mhz. Use the link below to find the right frequency:

Jovan: If you use Outlook 2003 or 2007 you are going to LOVE this phone!!! This sync software in Samsung PC Suite is one of the phones best features. It's easy and simply to use and it runs on Vista and XP. You can sync Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Notes. And if you want to go to the trouble to set it up even your inbox. If your office uses Exchange you can download a program called RoadSync - see my earlier posts for details.

Majid Bhai: This phone records .MP4 video in two sizes. The default is 352x288 and the other is 176x144. You'll need to buy a 2GB MicroSD card though because the file sizes can be quite large and the basic phone only comes with about 150MB of memory. For playback, you can use the default player in the Samsung PC Suite software that comes with the phone or better yet try out the free VideoLAN VLC player.

NN: Sounds like a faulty USB cable to me, but if not you might find it quicker to do a reinstall of the Samsung PC Suite software. If that still fails, then test the installation on another pc with a different cable to see if it works. If it doesn't, then you know it's a phone problem. If it does, then you know its a problem with Windows - in that case its probably quicker to reinstall your Windows PC than trying to figure out where the problem lies.
