hi, does anyone know how to do a hard reset on the vodafone 804ss? my phone crashed the other day and it wouldn't turn off, so i removed the battery to turn it off. when i tried to turn it on again, the unit would try to turn on then reset then turn on again then reset over and over again. turn on -> 'please wait' screen -> vodafone logo screen -> blank screen -> 'please wait' screen -> vodafone logo screen ... over and over. the only way to shut it was to remove the battery. can anyone help me?

NUVm, Since the Z540 has a tri-band of 900/1800/1900 mhz, t-mobile, and cingular will work since thier frequency is 1900 mhz, but you will have limited coverage depending on where u live.
Although, if Z540 was tri-band 850/1800/1900 mhz, or a Quad-band(850/900/1800/1900 Mhz) it would still work in the U.S. PLUS, it would have more coverage. But sadly it does not.

p.s. i only know the frequencies from t-mobile and cingular, sorry im too lazy to look up the other major us carriers.

From the function,it has all necessary function and also VIDEO CALL cool!!!!!!!! But what it is lacking is perhaps memory slot but...it comes with 140 mb which is big enough. SO bravo for samsung!!!!!!!

have any of you guys tried this phone in north america? i want to get it, but it doesn't have the 850 frequency. i'm just wondering if it's that big of a difference.

great phone BUT it is limited to 100 schedule items and 50 Aniversary and 20 tasks and 20 memo's. so if one uses outlook and wants to sycronise then most of ones data does NOT get transfered to the phone when syncronising the phone. This is a major limitation.....

shaz, by default, it will store the SMS in the SIM card first then the phone memory. You can't change it. That's the way it is.

Same for the rest of the Samsung phone. When you take pictures, it make use of the phone memory first, then you need to use PC to tranfer the picture to your card memory. You can't do a direct transfer and there is no way of setting the phone to use card memory for saving pictures when you take it.

Explore more and you will find Samsung phone...erm....well.. judge for yourselves lah...

Just sharing my bad experince with this phone.

1) UI is horrible
2) Phonebook....sigh... everytime I amend or add a new contact, the contact will be place somewhere else in the phonebook, not in order. I have to go to setting and set the sorting again to bring the contact out... bring it to the service centre to flash the software, same problem.
3) It auto deleted my SMSs.
4) The battery life...erm.... CMI
5) Ringtone volume... sigh....

Although I must mention that the keypad feels good to press.

Took delivery of this phone yesterday and sending it back in favour of Sharp 770SH. The Samsung menu and screen layout drove me mad, screen gets filled up with little detail and the stupid noises the phopne makes every time you try to do anything are grossly annoying - it took me an hour to get the thing to shut up! If you're a Samsung fan you'll probably like the Z540, it certainly looks a lovely phone but has too many annoying habits for me. I was and still am a Sharp fan, my old GX15 has been brilliant and I'm still keeping it as a second phone
