i just got the phone two weeks ago and the gps works right. The phone is very complete but the only problem is the micro-sd memory card. Gives problems at restarting the phone.

Got My N95 8gb and i have had no problems getting it going or getting it swapped over.

Thanks for your advice. It wont help me much now but I think other people will appreciate it.

> In reply to slinkywc @ 2008-06-17 06:43 from wg1mwell first you need to have a map program installed into your mirco sd, through a card reader not on the phone. then the first time you use it you need to put the pin in and give it some time to start but its worth it at the end. tip on using the gps on the phone you need to turn your phone off and on again when you finish so it does not drain the batteries, because the gps doesn't turn it self off.

I work in the tel co sector and i have some different channels than a normal consumer.

I sent it back as an ELF ( early life failure, 14 days after purchase is the time allowed by Samsung. ) which helped in the refund process.

Samsung do know about the problem with the phone as almost everyone we have sold has the same problem.

I had no problem in returning it.

Although it runs similar software to the navigator the sensor for the GPS is different and it does not have a-gps which makes it a hell of a lot slower on the navigation.

In regards to video recording i never tried it.

Just remember as a consumer you have rights and demand some action as the phone is falsely advertised as a GPS phone with a crappy GPS.

slinkywc can you please tell me how you can send this phone back? My GPS does not work either. And has problem with video recording too! I tried to return it to Vodafone Greece and Samsung Greece but they do not accept returns. I sent it for service, they did not fix it but they told me they fixed it, 6 weeks later. They asked me to re-send it. Actually I want to throw this phone to the face of the Managing Directors of BOTH companies!!

hey guys have has this phone for 3 days now and wishing i had not got it.

The phone it self is nice to use with a nice keypad and slide design.

My problem is with the GPS. It takes for ever to find your position and when it eventually does the battery dies.

Even the accessory pack that comes with is is cheap and nasty.

if you want an good everyday phone it's not so bad but if GPS is your main concern in a handset I recommend looking elsewhere.

I'm going to send this one back and get the N95 8gb which i should of got in the first place.

Best phone on the market in Australia by far. I also work in a mobile shop and not one has come back so lease people don't tell stories because you are a Nokia fan. Nokia simply are poor quality phones these days and it's down to arrogance they still sell with the exception of the 6300 which has been a great phone. HIghly recommend this i560 though, works wonderful, maps are great and all round quality phone.

GPS? huh.. it does not work!! 3MP camera? Bad fotos + bad video!! even after I sent my i560 for service! And Service sucks. Vodafone does not care, Samsung does not care! I live in Greece. Both companies suck here!! This phone is worth around 50 euro, not even that, dont pay more!
