Okay had this fone for about a week now. Here is what i think.

1) Love the big screen, i dont think there is any other 2,6 inch candy bar out there, and when watching you tube u can really see the difference over a 2,4.
HOWEVER, the sunlight legibility is absolutely abysmal!! So great screen, INDOORS ONLY!

2) The track ball - very love or hate. I love it. Managed to customize the sensitivity to suit me. And its like a poor man's blackberry, he he.

3) Keypad is awesome, love it, love it, love it!
The keys are large and soft and make typing a joy.

4) Fast interface, its super quick. My last fone was the disastrous Sony Ericsson G900, so its nice to finally be moving again, speed wise.

5) Camera - had some settings missing - no two-stage button and no separate macro mode. This made me very concerned because i often take pictures of written stuff like magazine articles and news articles, business cards etc. Thats my main use for mobile fone cam. So i need that to be in focus, and what a pleasant surprise, it focuses on them PERFECTLY! No need for separate macro, i think it senses it on its own.

6)Battery - the phone's biggest weakness - awful - the worst i ever experienced.

7) FM Radio is attrocious and might as well not be there - they should take lessons from Sony Ericsson on how to implement FM radio into mobile phones. Signal and sound is weak on the Samsung.

8)No notifications LED - they could have used the trackball lighting for that - would have been cool.

9)Music player is rather insipid.

10)Internet is on par with the others, but a treat on the larger than average screen. Wifi is fast and strong, but POWER HUNGRY!

But on balance i give this phone the thumbs up - for the price i paid, you could hardly do better (and you could do a lot worse). The only other low cost wifi option is Nokia e51 - and no, we wont be going there.

I have the phone like one month or so and i like it, it's quite good!
And I have a question...
If I set my wallpaper to be default, and not some picture, i guess it should be a theme wallpaper but it isn't! It's an boring animation that loops on and on, advertising the navigation feature that phone has! I don't want that, i want my wallpaper to be a theme wallpaper!
If anyone knows what should i do, please tell me?
