I'm interested in an English manual as well. BTW, I read in the news that Infosonics will carry VK models, and they mentioned VK2030 model. Is it a step-up model from this one? I didn't see any mention of that model from VK Mobile at all.

Currently awaiting delivery of my vk2020, Does anybody know if there is a manual in english? I can only find the manual in french off of the vk website. They do have the manual in english for the vk2000 model, does anybody know if the vk2000 manual is the same, except for mp3 and bluetooth instructions? Thanks

Wake up call for VK. Samsung has a 6.9mm bar phone (x828) that even comes with 2mp cam. Good for VK that it works on CDMA for now.

i got this unit 2 days ago. looks super cool & has a fantastic screen- clarity & brightness is 2nd to none. a few problems though:-
1) battery life is low- 1 to 2 days only even when usage is low
2) LCD heats up a bit
3) once, the timer on the LCD screen did not take effect, i.e. the LCD screen was continuously lit up although mobile was not used. mobile heated up quite a fair bit until battery died

I have had the VK2020 for a few days now and have tested the heating issue with calls that go for more than 10 minutes.

I found that the LCD does warm up after a few minutes, but does not continue to increase and does not get to a point where it is uncomfortably hot. I purchased mine from wapzon and can highly recommend them.

This may change based on where you purchased your phone, but the VK2020 that I ordered from Malaysia only has English, two types of Chinese, and Malay listed as language options for the phone.

Other than a full firmware upgrade where the new firmware may include support for new languages, I've never heard of any cell phone where support for a language can be "added" modularly like that. And the VK2020 is no exception. There isn't even any obvious way of updating its firmware yet.

Does anyone know if there is swedish as optional language pre-programmed on the vk2020? If there isn't; can I download software updates to the phone?

Thanks VK.
Will need to think about it. Speaker phone is very useful for me who uses my phone for concall purchase when in office. Sometimes just need to share the conversation with another person in office to settle things. Just too bad. Maybe there is any hacks which can be utilize to use the speakers for conversation instead of only ringtones.

1. VK2020 does not support speaker phone.
2. Yes, user can use MP3 or MIdi files as ringtone
3. VK2020 USB cable is different to other brand and standard Mini USB.

Does anyone know if this phone have speakerphone capability ? i went to the shop yesterday to test it out and notice that the buttons are very very close together and i end up have to use my fingernails to press the keypads. Also can the MP3 be used as ringtones ? i did not test that portion out. It is very very slim and small and the packaging is super posh. Also i noticed that the USB cable is a bit different that than of a normal mini USB cable. Can i use the SAME usb cable for Motorola, O2 or Dopod with this phone? Can anyone verify that ?

I won't be able to answer the question about heating up during a long call, because none of my calls with this phone so far has exceeded two or three minutes. I have seen mentions of some serious heat issues with the VK2000 (close relative of the VK2020) even with five-minute calls. You can read them in the following forum thread:

Thanks for the response on indoor reception. Since I have Sony Ericsson T610 now, the comparison to it is good. I've another question. Does it heat up if you talk for 20-30min? I used to have Samsung phone, and it gets awfully hot.

Regarding the indoor reception question: My cubicle at the office is usually problematic in terms of cell phone reception. I had been using a Sony Ericsson T616 before the VK2020. Judging by what I know from the behavior of the T616 in my cubicle, the reception of the VK2020 is either precisely the same or may even be considered a little better than that. It's certainly not any worse. Considering the T616 is thought of as a phone with decent reception, I think it's safe to say that the reception of the VK2020 is not compromised despite its tiny size.

i saw on another forum that vk was contacted about the missing memory and the response was that it does indeed have 1Gb of memory. note the lower case b inticating bits not bytes. as it is 8 bits = 1 byte the "1000 gigibits" does translate into 125mb which it does have. kinda tricky and not so nice...

I just got my VK2020.
So far, I'm happy with the phone. I like the size of the phone and other function like bluetooth and Mp3 Player.
As some user asking for battery life, actually, you can purchase additional battery and battery charger for VK2020. And the price is not expensive. I just get one.
If you want to charging the phone while driving, you can purchase USB In-Car Charger.

All you need is to plug in the VK2020 with USB cable into the charger plug. N you can charge it while driving. Make sure you set the 'PC Connection' from USB Mass Storage to PC'Sync.
I have 2 different phone but using same in-car charger. Only thing i have to carry was the USB cable.

This Phone is sensation in South Korea. Because it is very cheap, tiny-designed
slim Phone.
It is enough for using Hand-held phone.
If you want digital camera or good quality MP3 function, I recommend buy Ipod or digital camera. It's good.
