3G and large TFT display consume a lot of battere... this is common reason...

I have also found that the battery life does not last very long. With 3G on you are lucky to get 1 days battery life. On quering this further with a service centre I was told that the specs on this website are incorrect!! Can you believe this? I think we are being misled!

Got the phone 4 days ago. I like it in general but the battery is poor. According to the specs it is supposed to last much longer, but it only lasts about a day or so with average use.

Could anyone who has bought s7350h please advise me whether this phone's audio recording function is limited by 1 hour (that is, it will stop automatically after recording for one hour)? I am now using L878 and it can only record voice memo not exceeding one hour.

Thank you in advance.

Okay.

Figured out the TASK MANAGER.
Go to Settings>Phone settings>Camera key>Always ask/Switch.

Now, when you press the camera key and hold while idle you can switch between functions, call, messages, applications, etc...
Now, to MINIMIZE, when you have an application open, like opera mini, all you need to do is press the CALL END key. The phone asks if you want to finish, or resume.
But, the OK key has a little icon above it that looks like the window minimize key on your pc...

So just press the OK key (D-pad middle black button) and it minimizes the application with a little play icon next to it to show its still running. If you minimize more than one application, the task manager can help you switch between them now... Happy switching!

(a function i really needed to find since having used symbian and sony ericsson phones...)

This is the really pathetic phone. I purchased this phone 15 days back and in these 15 days i have submitted it two times for repair under claim. Purchasing this phone is really wastage of money.

I can't as yet find any real support for this phone anywhere, also i cant find any application that'll help me utilize the GPS functionality of this phone for getting directions. Apparently this phone originally had route66 software that eventually wasn't included in the release. i also cant find a garmin equivalent that looks to support it. Preferrably i'd want a freeware application if one exists?

Another querry. In the settings, Default Memory. AND in the camera settings, i've repeatedly set the memory to the microSD card. but the phone just ignores this input and reverts to phone memory, which is extremely annoying. Can anyone shed any light on the matter?

Okay, i've been taking test shots all day, seeing as its a new phone so i cant put it down...
Right. To give advice to anyone lookin to buy this phone for the camera sake.

REGARDING NIGHT SHOTS.
I was taking shots from late afternoon till sundown, having fiddled with all the settings, white balance, metering mode, night shot, focus, macro dynamic wide range you name it.

After sundown i grabbed my old Sony Ericsson k810i, ran out and took shots of 12 things i'd snapped with the samsung, really fast like, without proper aim or focus care, point and shoot.

Now with near 40 shots from the s7350, i've sorted through the results, chosen the best 12 samsung shots, and compared. I'm dissapointed to report, not ONE S7350 got the colour of the object right, the flash 'over exposes' eveything. shots were blurry and garbled and the detail was really low.

So, REGARDING NIGHT SHOTS, if you are looking to buy, look for a sony ericsson, in 2 years i've almost never taken a shot i didn't want, and i take mostly night shots. There just wasn't comparison. Samsung didn't 'make the shot'. I'll do some day shots tomorrow and report whether day shots or well lit shots are worth it.. i really hope they are... we'll see. (if anyone wants proof of the shot quality, i'll post the pics up on photobucket if they'd like)

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-06-11 10:36 from PQZL - click to readThanks, i did in the end. Its different from the SE, and when i use things like Opera Mini, it bugs me to have to press Menu->Clear->clear to delete a wrong character, but i'll probably get used to it. shame there wasnt space for a "C" button.. CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO MINIMIZE APPLICATIONS??? please, if theres some trick the manual doest mention, lemme have it? as the task manager/switcher only shows me one open application, with the option to resume or end, there's no minimize or switch involved?

hi, just bought the unit yesterday.

all i can say- the phone is great 9/10. Although it might be better if they add "wifi' on it.

the only thing i hate is
1. the headset jack is easy to plug, but when you try to remove it, its really hard, i mean i almost gripped the phone just to remove it.
2. the battery is hard to place and remove
3. the supplied phone manual is incomplete, i cant find there the answer on #1 and #2

if SDHC's are on the minimum of 4GB memory, the phone can handle 16GB. Logically, it can

the memory card isn't hot swap. you need to turn off your phone and remove the battery
