Hi Darren,
thanks for the advice. I can get the satellite signal already. Its just that I don't have the NAVFON software installed. Do you think you could send it over to me? My email address is iawnaek@yahoo.com
Thanks
Kean

It seems the Samsung I550 service manual has been removed from the website I found it on, courtesy of Samsung UK:
The document "Samsung SGH-i550 service manual" has been removed from Scribd
This content was removed at the request of copyright agent B. Pearce of Samsung Electronics (UK)
Is there something that Samsung doesn't want us to find out...?
Personally I would like to meet the marketing exec who decided that Asian and the Middle East should get a WiFi enabled I550 and the rest of Europe shouldn't!

TheJackal: nice finding man! a service manual , what sort of marketing strategy samsung using huh , releasing i550 and i550W . so i550w is a soldered i550.weird .
-------------------------------------------
amir : If the navigation trackball stuck it is real bad man . phone completely useless .according to service manual page 23 item QJK01(unit jog ball) , it is attached to the motherboard of samsung i550 (0.0) maybe cannot be cleaned !!!=.=
-------------------------------------------
Tomi : which GPS software u using? can u explain more detail how it is not working ? i'm interested to know. Tomi , what does hacky means? or it is lagging? to watch movie i use 3rd party software smart movie 3.41 s60 version , u can find it from ipmart(google it) and its converter settings for best video quality to view on phone. regarding the screen , i'm using this phone with brightness set to lowest because i'm always in indoor but i admit it is hard to see the screen during bright sunlight.
err, sound quality ? i dint have a problem with it .
--------------------------------------------
Kean : go to http://www.engadgetmobile.com/...d-with-wifi/ to see my guide for GPS newbie .if still cant please explain your why and how here.

One step closer to WiFi on the I550!!!
It seems the I550's PCB DOES have the WiFi hardware but its NC (Not Connected) to the main processor.
Download the service manual at this site http://www.scribd.com/doc/9454...rvice-manual and take a look at page 41 where you'll see "All component of WiFi is NC".
Now we need someone with soldering skills and a I550 to open up their I550 to connect the components!

I think too that this phone is not up to the expectations, in addition of not having any accessories in the market so far (even after 2 months of launching in Dubai), i had the phone hang-up situation and had to remove the battery and restart. The overall battery life is not good enough for mare than 36 hours (Compared to Nokia's 48-72 hours) of normal phone usage.

Hi!
Im so dissepointed of this phone!
I bought it but im gonna sell it right away!
Im never ever going to buy this brand again.
First of all my gps dont work at all!
You cant whatch movies on it either (yes i tried lower resolution but it is way to hacky)realplayer is bad.
I even installd divx player but it is way to hacking no matter which resolution i use.
(maybe its dont have enough processor speed or memory?)
The screen isnt bright enough even if it is on its max!
Sound quality is bad during phone calls!
The worst phone ever for me!
Im sorry but i cant find anything good about it!:(
