Im afraid that what you say about they are all like this and that the mms inbox is only there to receive the pictures and not view them is not right. I have found out that it depends on what phone has sent you the pic and O2 know about this and they have even said that it should not do this and its something that Samsung have done wrong with the software on this phone. Give me the old mms system any day at least you dont have to mess about saving pictures that you prob dont want to keep once you have seen them.
Samsung you have let yourself down this time.

Ade,
Yeah this is what happenes with them all. It shouldn't really matter though cos as you said when you save it into the picture folder it is fine, the I-mode Inbox is only there to receive the mms not to view them.

Hi
We have had this phone for 2 weeks now but we have a big problem with the picture messaging on it.
If someone sends a mss to it and even if they have their camera set to the smallest resolution when you view it in your inbox the image comes out so large you only see the far left of the pic. The only way you can view the whole pic is to save it to your phones folder and then go and view it. It does not matter what phone we have tried to send a pic with it does it every time.
We have been on to the boffins at O2 and they have finally admited that there is a problem with this phone that Samsung know about but are prob not going to do a fix for it.
Has anyone come across the same prob and if so did you get it sorted.
Cheers Ade

Hi Charlotte, if you uninstall the samsung 3.0 software and remove the driver in control panel/device manager. reboot your computer (make sure your phone is not connected to the usb) then install ALL the software BEFORE you plug the phone in and then it should work, it did for me

Finally worked out the phone, mp3 and everything. Once you know what your doing the phone is very good. I couldn't receive picture messages at first but then after a few weeks they worked. Regarding the Mp3 ringtones etc. I changed them to AAC format with iTunes and downloaded them to my phone and they worked fine as ringtunes, only problem I have is I cant get the USB connection and CD to work properly, it wont find the phone so brough a bluetooth USB thing and that works fine. I also thought it only had 1 ringtone but it doesnt you have to press the middle button when over the set ringtune and it will bring up all the rest. Hope that helps. Charlotte

had this phone about 3 weeks and found out you can have mp3 ring tones on it using nero wave editor to change to mp4 in video and use as ring tone but must be under 300 kb hope this helps

Hi everyone, i have left a free s500i video ringtone on my website, http://grasp.to.md/samsungsgh500i.html
A call logo will appear on the front screen and you will hear a old phone ringer.
Download it and bluetooth /usb it to your phone, go to videos/downloaded videos, press options, then 'set as' then caller ID, then select who you want it to ring for. this video is to help people who cant sort out their ringtones, if you have 1 that works you will be able to see what works and make your own. if you go to this page on imode be warned the ringtone is 152k, at 1c per 1k (my phone provider rate) that will cost you e1.52 , so if u have bt/usb, use it. have fun

Fabulous phone, but a blip on the landscape is that contrary to all helpful hints re renaming mp3 to aac etc, no matter what format you save it to on your phone (and I'm sure everyone has read the manual) the file format is still unsupported by the phone, so its not just a select few, no sound format whatsoever can be used as a ringtone. Those that have must be the only ones with a complete phone as I'm told by the techie guys at samsung that setting your ringtones is actually not possible in this phone :( But still a great phone, and cool 'smart' predictive texting. On ya Samsung!!

If you want to access you hotmail on imode, enter the url http://mobile.msn.com you should be able to select hotmail thought this webpage and allow you to check it on you imode phone, one annoyance though is haveing to re-enter your username and password every time you browse to a new page/message
