This phone is good, it uses symbian os which is commonly found on Nokia, Sony Ericsson and other phones. I have just bought this one to take over from Sony Ericsson and the phone is so easy to use.

People who have never bought or used this phone shldn't deceive us. Let us the customers talk. Don't hate Samsung, Innovate

Awesome phone. Battery lasts approx 3 days with standard use. With GPS use it will last about 12-15hrs.
GPS is awesome , picks up 10-14 satellites in 30 seconds. Big screen, easy and fast operating system (im a symbian fan). overall you can get this from Dick Smith in Australia for $229au with Optus. expect to pay $599au outright.

NOTE : DO NOT use the GPS in a high-rise city it will absolutely not work. Has never worked in Melbourne streets, and took time to reach a satellite on the outskirts.

9 / 10 from me! :D

To answer a few questions:
The battery life is OK, lasts about 2 or 3 days with normal use - the GPS uses a bit of battery though.

The phone comes with no games pre-installed, although being nokia's symbian OS, they are easy to find/install.

The GPS can be turned off by exiting the application properly. If there is a little circular symbol next to the route 66 icon, then the application is still running in the background. Just go into the app and exit via the menus.

My phone came with a 1Gb micro sd card (with adapter for SD). I am currently using an 8Gb micro sd card (sandisk) and it works no problems.

There is no comprehensive user manual included with the phone. Just a basic 'quick start' guide.

The included PC studio software is not compatible with Windows Vista. I had to download the latest version (7.1.45.8) which is.

Good luck.
