I just got this phone yesterday, and overall it is a great well made phone. The camera is very good, and despite the reviews on the sounds of the mp3 player, I think it is very loud, and clear, sounds natural. However, the call quality is spotty, on some calls it is difficult to hear the other person, yet on other occasions it is loud and clear. To be honest, if the call volume was louder, this phone would be one of the best phones I have used, but every phone has flaws, but maybe with a blue tooth headset this problem would not be an issue. Only had it one day, but so far, out of a 10, I give it an 8.5. Texting is also pretty good, very easy to text, and the magical touch pad, is fantastic, very responsive, very cool, and its quick, maybe a half second to respond, if that. I recommend this phone to anyone that likes sliders, and likes sturdy well built phones, not plastic like most phones. So far, its a keeper.

Does it have a secondary videoCall camera or not? The pictures show a model with and another without it. Which model of soul does have a sec. camera?

Thx, hope someone else noticed that.

This means the Soul has sold better in this early stage than the iPhone managed in the first quarter of the year

I have the Samsung Soul. But the over exposure when using the flash is really bad. How can I change this?

What themes are available for it?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-06-26 02:35 from 4641i was using Motorola V3 b4 switching to this, which i consider a major upgrade :)

if your only concerns are battery life and call volume, i would say they are pretty much the same to me. i charged almost every 2-3 days before on V3 and is still doing the same on Soul.

Usage is different though cuz im usin Soul for internet for ard 15-30mins daily, while V3 was just for talk and txt.

I always liked Samsung mobiles, latest was D900 which was great that time, i changed to LG Viewty 6 months ago and its great, now i'm thinking to uppgrade again, i compared between Soul or LG Secret, i decided to go for the Secret as its anti scratch display and virtual reality gamez is big advantages, but i would never buy any mobile from other brands, Korean brands r simply the best. GL to all in there choices.

1. Set your voicemail number:
Settings -> Application settings -> Messages settings -> Voicemail number -> enter number here...
(if you've this set up just press and hold button 1 when phone is idle to speed dial your voicemail)

2. Call waiting
Settings -> Application settings -> Messages settings -> Call settings -> Voice call -> Call waiting -> Activate

(you can set your call diverting from voice call settings also)

you cannot install java games from any external source using a usb cable.

if your phone texting defaults to predictive texting, then this has been custimised by your network provider to be so and you cannot change it.
