one of the emails I got back from Samsung the other day when I said there wasnt a Stylus supplied in the box - they said there is no stylus supplied with this product and the stylus wont work with it either as it is heat sensative!! - what a load of BS. I used a stylus from my LG Viewty on it no problem at all!

hey all... have u tried playing around with the image editing software that's built-in the fone??

its really gud... i've been using it a lot to cut faces of my friends from big pitures to set them up as contact images (caller id images). the software works gr8. the image quality does'nt get bad at all and no pixellation on cropping the image.

Guys, I've been using SE for the last 5 years - W800, K800, K810, K850, is this Samsung easy to get used to after so long with one brand? And there's mixed reviews regarding battery life - is it a weak point or is it ok?

trust me... u will love this set more than nokia. u will see how many features are not there in nokia, but is there in this set. this is 100 times more user-friendly than nokia.
