i just bought this phone and try to connect this device as a modem from my PC, strangely the phone detected as cdma modem (it's supposed to be gsm right?) and i don't get the hsdpa speed connection. the speed detected is only 230.4 kbps.
is this phone really has the hsdpa?

Ok - had this phone for long enough to make a review.

Overall it's a very nice handset that looks good and feels good. The menu structures are easy enough to follow and the Nav key does what it should. The slide is fantastically smooth and all the external buttons auto-lock whilst the slide is closed - a good feature.

The camera gives useable images. Good for a phone but nowhere near the quality of a regular camera although if one wanted to take good photos we'd use a proper camera anyway. For happy snapping around town it's fine.

The only minus point for the phone is the truly awful memo function that is limited to 100 characters. Yes, 100 characters only. Even my old Nokia 3220 allowed nearly 3000 characters per memo. Utterly useless on the A801 I'm afraid and not acceptable on any phone whatsoever. Maybe it's because mine has Telstra firmware on it. I dunno.

Call quality is excellent, the display is faultless, sounds are good and clear. SD card takes total capacity to 2.04Gb which should be enough for anyone.

Can't assign .mp3 tones to incoming messages.

All-in-all it's a nice enough piece of kit.

Have been having this phone for about a year now, have been seeking a solution on this matter.

I would like to back up my SMS data permanently to my PC. Anyone out there have any recommendation. Apparently, the PC studio provided for this model does not cater for such backup. Samsung customer service ppl simply says that they are not able to help.

Thanks a bunch.

I previously had this fone for just over a year. Good things are its fantastic compact size, easy to use screen and the video calling / data capabilities were awesome.

Down sides were very poor battery life, needs to be recharged daily, poor audio quality from ear peice, inability to change the two home buttons (when unit is telstra branded). Extremely over priced for what it was when it was available. i paid 999 for it, now its 299 on prepaid!!
