My previous Samsung experience was with a U420 Nimbus cdma phone. I found it to be a pleasure to use overall, and when I decided to switch to T-Mobile for its @home WIFI service, the Katalyst was my first choice. I've regreted it ever since. To the following I ask "What were they thinking?!"
Why doesn't typing a number search my contacts anymore? The Nimbus searched all my contacts (1st and last names) based on the keys I pressed (T9 style). Now I have to get into the phonebook and iTap it out. (bringing up "mom" now takes 6 keys with pauses in between- used to take 4 presses right in a row).
Why can't I change my home keys? The "up" key conveniently brings up my recent calls, but so does the "call" key, which makes more sense anyway. The "right" key bring up voicenotes (who uses that anyway?). Meanwhile it takes 9 key presses to view a calendar and 11 to bring up the calculator!
Why does the inbox hold only 30 messages, all loaded to the SIM- regardless if a memory card is installed. Of course, my outbox holds 300 messages (stored on the phone). Does this make any sense?
You also can't use ringtones stored on the card, not to mention that you have to dig the battery out to get at the sd card, which you have to do since you can't transfer data via bluetooth or USB.
Oh! And why does Samsung change power connections with every model!? What's wrong with MiniUSB?
Also I can no longer view incoming messages while on a call.
The camera (which has no flash) is on the back, totally unshielded from scratches and smudges- what's wrong with the slide like all your other models Samsung?
And of course they thought it fit to drop the fun dialing fonts. Not that "Quill Pen" was all that amazing, but it was a nice novelty and would have been one saving grace.
The only thing this phone has that my 2 year old Numbus does not (aside from and extra square inch of pocket space) is WIFI. But of course it's no faster than dialing up with the Nimbus, and no more useful without an html browser.
In short, Samsung- WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

This is my first cell phone. I just got it yesterday and it is pretty nice. I got a 2GB micro SD card and, using a video conversion program, I was able to watch tv shows and movies on it.The only problem I am running into is that I have some java games that are jar/jad ormat and cannot figure out how to get the phone to recognize them and install them so I can play them. If anyone know, please post how. Thanks.
