I am so sorry about my previous post regarding the battery.
Now I'm gonna correct my statement.
Since it is very ridiculous that the battery is being eaten up for no particular activities.. I have a thought that there might be something running in the background.
As expected, the answer is YES!! The GPS DATA was running on the background without my knowlegde. So I must have accidentally pressed the GPS button.
So, please be assure that the Samsung i550 is not that bad as you might think it is based on my previous posting.
Tq.

This phone battery is really bad!!
Last night, it is fully charged. I listen to some songs about 20 minutes.. That's all.
And this morning, suddenly the battery level turns down to 3 bar only (out of 7)??!
Ridiculous!!!

Hi guys. I know have had this phone for 1 month and i absolutely love it!! In the past year and a half i have had nokia n73 , nokia n95, samsung u700, nokia n82. This is by far my most favourute phone. Awesome design and ergonomics great features. The n95 was a brick, the n82 nice phone really liked but i hated the design. Simply hated the u700 touch sensitive keys, but the mp3 player was brilliant. To me this is the perfect phone for my needs. Stability issues, the phone only restarted on me 3 times in the month that i had it and thats because i was running too many applications in one time. I use a 6 gig memory card which works fine .Awesome smart phone.

Is anyone knows how do I turn off the STUPID CONFIRMATION message "Change audio routing to loudspeaker?" after I enable the LOUDSPEAKER option for incoming call?

I bought the wireless version SGH-I550W. I have installed Garmin Mobile XT and it works very well. If there is a negative it is that the trackball does not allow fast browsing of the maps but everything else is first class. The phone searches and finds the Internal GPS (after one has activated this in the Garmin software). The screen is bright and clear. I have owned a number of s60 phones - the last was the Nokia E65 which had a mind of its own at times. The I550W is far more stable and in ten hours of running through programmes and settings it has behaved very well. It would be great if Samsung (or Garmin) could allow the number keys of say 2,4,6,8 to be used to browse the map in the absence of the trackball moving at speed. I bought this phone as my important requirements were GPS and WiFi and there are not many phones which fit this category. The price is very good for the features it offers. In Garmin mode the settings allow for Car/Motorcycle, others and Pedestrian so one can pick the mode one wants and use that. I tried all types and it never missed a beat. Most of the other features are very similar to the Nokia setup which is adequte for me. The software bundled with the phone on CD was easy to install and quickly Sync'd all my calendar, notes and contacts with MS Outlook. All in all a very good phone for the price.

Finally, I've managed to bought this phone after painstaking experience.. :( - SAMSUNG i550w (with WiFi)
I am from Malaysia and I've bought this phone somewhere in Kuala Lumpur with the price of RM1550 (with 4GB memory card).
Trust me, after 2 days using it.. I have no restart problem at all!!
The only one major frustation for me of having this phone is it's screen clarity!! I am so excited about its big screen but only to find out that the resolution is a mediocre, >:<
I am based on the display on my k800i. For the same picture, it is so obvious that i550w lacks of clarity, sharpness, contrast and very less saturated.
Anyway, I think for those who did not compare.. the screen display is just nice. You won't find it's bad unless you compare it with k800i.
That's all for now.
Thank you.

The garmin software did not work o this phone due to software seurity complications. The restarting problems are frequnt on this phone. The signal s very weak compared to sony ericsson or nkia phones. GPS signa and battery standby time is also weak, I had mentoned all this 8 weeks ago but my comments were removed, plus there are some users who are trying to convince the others that this phone is cost effective and practical, i think otherwise.

dear darren and all i550 users,
i checked garmin and mapking about the gps software which could work with my i550w but with all the dozens of lists im confused which of these will work. navigon is too expensive 129 pounds!
Is there an option of inserting a contact no. while making an sms?
Next is that im getting a problem with messaging. my sms's are nearly 200 and im getting a phone advisory which says like i need to delete. i did but unless i restart i cant reply or make an sms. other than that, i dont experience the frequent restarting of this phone like other i550 owners. Please help!!!

Yeah, GSMArena, please review this phone. I already emailed you guys about this. I am really thinking about making this my first S60 device but I need reviews.
Only one review so far, and that's from www.smape.com but it's of the non-WiFi version, shouldn't be too different but the review was good.
