The only way to stop this speculation about the WIFI is if someone posts a photo or video of the WIFI working on a Samsung I550.

Until then I won't believe any claims of WIFI on the I550. I have a I550 and it doesn't have 802.11b/g WIFI.

you know people..europe is samsung's biggest market on mobile phone. and for that i think samsung will not going to deprive europeans by not including wi-fi on this phone. then releasing it someplace else(like asia) that has wi-fi?

There is a Rumour that every i550 has the WIFI Hardware build in, BUT its locked in the most countries.

There are a couple of countries where they sell the phone with unlocked WIFI.

How long does the GPS Receiver needs to get the connection?

Is the GPS fast or slow?

I've got the phone!!!

I just happened to go to a local superstore with the idea of "hassling" them again about the phone with the usual questions of "it was supposed to be released 1 month ago, where is it?" but I was in SHOCK when they said: "they arrived this morning but let me check that for you".

No more than 20min later and €389 poorer, I was walking out of the shop with one!

Before I give you all my initial impressions, let me state that the phone DOES NOT have 802.11b/g WiFi. Yes its got HSDPA but no WiFi.

* I love the huge 2.6in screen, really makes a difference from my old Nokia E50's 2.0in screen.
* The navigation wheel is a bit weird at first (because I'm used to d-pads) but you get used to it in the end. I've lowered the vertical sensitivity and turn up the horizontal one which makes it nicer to use.
* Transferring contacts from the E50 to the I550 was a bit of a pain because Nokia's "Transfer" (Symbian based) application won't install on the I550. I ended up using a free application called "Contacts Transfer".
* There is NO PC Sync software provided which is a shame. I hope Samsung will provide this on their website soon.
* Overall its Symbian S60 3rd FP1 but the layout of some of the menus differ slightly from the Nokia flavour.

I'll post more once I've used the phone for a while longer!
