I haven't changed any settings on mine but it always reverts back to which ever option I used last. So if I used T9 to send a text, it will always revert back to this when I create a new message. If it is in T9 when you hit send, the next message you create should start in T9. Mine does anyway!

OK. So I've had this phone for a couple of days now and I think the following. I like it and it certainly has a wow factor. Camera is good and the touch screen is pretty responsive.
However, I have noticed a couple of things: 1. You cannot set T9 predictive as default so for every text you write, you have to change it from Abc - very annoying.
2. Scrolling on options screens is quick. However, scrolling through screens where you set stuff, e.g. alarm, time/date is slow and you can select areas by mistake.
3. I am not finding the browser very quick either in either 3G or GPS
4. There do not seem to be any downloadable games that are compatible with the handset
Does anyone know how to combat any of the above or have similar opinions?

Am also finding that the Browser is slower than my old Nokia N73. I thought it was supposed to be very quick. What am I doing wrong?

Had this a day and all seems ok, However, I have a couple of questions
1. Default for texting is ABC. Is there any way to set the default to T9 predictive. It's very annoying having to change it for every text. Saying that, my old Samsung D500 had the same problem - very annoying.
2. Also, pics taken indoors with a lot of light coming into the viewfinder, tend to turn a bit orange - any advice on stopping that?

I have been looking at purchasing a Samsung F480 and have a few questions.
1. Can you take a 3 meg picture or higher with the phone and then email that picture full size, and WITHOUT reducing the file size, through an email client set up on the phone, and email it to an email address. as some phones are limited to file sizes they are capable of emailing. On my current phone 3.2meg picture is about 648 kb. And my Vodafone network will allow me to send file sizes up to 2meg.
2. I synchronize outlook, contacts, Calendar and tasks etc.
Can I dial a number stored in the subject box in Calendar entry stored on the phone. Ie appointment 10am Thursday with “mr blogs 10 The street, Bloggs Town DX3 3xp 0123456789” can I call the telephone number directly from the calendar entry stored on the phone?
3. When you synchronize contacts and calendar entries do the notes in both calendar entries and contacts synchronize and store on the phone
