Very good phone. Superb display, the best I've ever seen.
The only stupid thing is touch buttons on external display - sometimes works, sometimes not. But mostly not.

My opinion: 9/10 pts.

Question for guys from Samsung: Why this phone hasn't FM radio? Shame on you!

I have a crush on this phone when i first saw it! Trust me, I've use every function of this phone so I can give a detail answer!

Pro-1.Nice and slim design. very light to carry.
2.The Illuminating light-touch is very cool. You don't have to open the clamp, just simply tap the middle touch key and it will automatily load the music.
3.The camera is very clear compare to other phone and it has autofocus!When u load your picture to your com, you'll be amaze by the quality.
4.Having HSPDA, the loading speed is so damm fast it will make leave u in shock!
5.The color quality is very vibrant, very
clear. the flash menu animation is very cool.
6.The Key pad is button is big and very flexible, very nice to press, navigation is one of the best.
7.Able to take pictures with the internal
camera, and i believe the internal camera is already like 1 megapixel, because i can use the internal cam to take picture or even video!
8.You can take pictures of yourself in many ways, either using the external screen or using the internal screen, so cool!
9.For video calling, the internal camera is so clear, when i compare my phone with my friend SE, I can hardly see his face and its so blurr but for his screen he can see me awesome clear!
10. The music quality is so fine and clear. its quite loud too, i don't think it will lose to the SE or Nokia.
11. Not like the old samsung phone, now for example u type a text and someone call, the unsent message will be save in draft so u don't have to type your message again!
12. It contain Utrack, for example u lost
your phone, and the thief without knowing the phone has Utrack function the minute he put in his sim card in, I'll get to know his no! then the next step will be calling the police! this Is a real cool function. Plus it has privacy lock to prevent other to look at your files and pictures another cool thing! and also it has offline mode whereby u can listen to music while taking flight!
13.large screen 320x240

My opinion
=========================

i got this phone about 4 moths ago....and now its freeze...thats what i get for thrying to be a wise guy...but!!!! i tested the phone and this i what i think..

The Pros
============

-its a very nice phone has a nice cam 2mps with autofocus...and the autofocus makes all the difderence...believe me.

-has a very nice MP3 playback...better then a lot of mp3 players lying around.

-very nice screen with nice colors...i have a panasonic vs2 that has 1.6M colors and the same resoution and i dont see diferences

-it works as a computer modem.... you plug the phone to the computer and can suft the web...and its quite fast.

- very nice keypad

-reads excel files, word files, HTML and PDF files.

- has 2 bateries, USB cable, and head phones included + a very nice manual

- it lets you hear your call prety decently...but its better with the headphones

The Cons
=============

-very small batery life but there are 2 of them

-its not multitask only on the preselected tasks in the button above the off botton

-does not let you organize your files because it has preselected folders, or install games directely from the phone. the games have to be uploaded to a server the acceced from the phone.

-gets kinda slow on the media player and on the playlist....my is still very movable.

- the size...but it has to be because of the screen that is also huge and very nice

Overall
============

A very nice buy.... its a solid phone with some good tecnology on it...on a very decent price range

===================
design 7.5\10

features 8.0\10

performance 8.3\10
====================

final score
8.5

Hi, I need to know if anyone had this problem before. I charge my phone with USB. I only remove it from charge once the phone is fully charged. 23 Days ago I unplugged the phone from charge and it went dead. I can't switch it on and when I plug the phone back in to either USB or travel charger, it does nothing. This happened about 4 months ago with another battery....same story.

20 MB is nothing. You can put few photos on it or two MP3's. Buy 1 GB microSD card. They are really cheap now. Don't buy 2 GB or more, they are not supported.

Awesome phone. Just got one today. UMTS range is minimum, because the phone has a SAR rating of 0.102W/kg. It's the lowest radiating phone on the market out now and the second in the world !!! Take a look at www.handywerte.de

is there a way to use the phone with the sim card empty. so the phone has all the contact details and the sim is empty. is there a way to make this happen.
