i got one 15 days ago.

let me tell you first the drawbacks; 3.0 MP camera is weak since there is no auto focus, and there is no wi-fi. plus when you use gps battery dies very quickly. also a bit heavy.

yet in normal usage, battery life is good enough (4-5 days) when you switch off constant satellite search function.

design is fantastic. thanks to Sybian OS, you can update and/or personalize the phone.
etc.

Can anyone tell me if the built in GPS of this phone work the same way as the Nokia 6110 nav or do we need to use GPS receiver to use the map?

Thanks in advance

I learn that Testing at sumsung and vodafone labs FAILED for many functions of this phone and still Samsung tried to sell units that were already prodused. That's CHEAP business practice for Samsung. Why dont they RECALL it and give us a unit that works? Vodafone? r u doing anything about it?

Samsung did a big mistake not equipping this phone with Wi-Fi. Many people will reject buying i560 not because it's a bad phone, but because it's not equipped with Wi-Fi and it means that they won't be able to use this phone for cheap ( and sometimes free) internet calls. Big mistake from Samsung... I think they should launch a new, updated version of i560 (say i560 Wi-Fi or something).

It's so funny to see Nokia N95 fanboys crazy rating down this phone as this phone was 8.850 at the start and it was above N95. Haha

Only tri-band and without WLAN...
this phone could be good ranked 2 years ago, but now it lacks of some functionalities that became a must

Guys, bad news.

I've seen there are alot of people questioning the disappearance of this phone on the Vodafone Business Shop. I work for Vodafone in Business Sales, and i can, unfortunately, confirm that we will NOT be stocking this phone. It failed miserably in the testing section and thus we will not be receiving any of the units. Sorry if it got any of you excited.

Take Care.

yes it has all these features. But the GPS takes forever to connect to Satelites. The battery runs out by the time it connects. And many times the people I call say that they cannot hear me well. I am in the center of Athens, Greece. I called customer service. Results: Vodaphone asks me to call Samsung. Samsung asks me to call Vodaphone. Very disapointed.
