Did a test with the new firmware.
Watched one full length film...... 2 hours.
2 hours of listening to music.
about 90 minutes of talk time.
used camera to take about 60 shots and at the end of that still had 3 bars.
The new firmware ROCKS!!

irvinehooi, 29 May 2009So you means INNOV8 users are forced to use only those themes that bundled with samsung ?? ... morenah that's not what i am saying...sry i shud have specified...some of them slow down the phone...but frankly...u cud use whatever s60 theme u want...once it is innov8 compatible...juss that the boring, bland, disgusting ones that the phone ships with, optimises the ui speed, and there is no crashing or n e thing...but i also have to update my firmware so who knows?...i am looking to buy n97 to experience symbian touch...do u think it is a wise choice?...i love innov8...but i had an omnia...and i miss the touch feeling i had with it...but i also want qwerty...what are your views?

Best phone I ever had..............the photos astound people ........so no more carrying around a camera, also no more dedicated Navigation device (sold it and the camera).
Music sounds fantastic thru the speakers but I found a little trick.
The 3.5 minijack and an amplifier and some hi grade speakers in my garden and I have a portable jukebox.
My neighbors were astonished when they heard the sound and then showed them the phone plugged into the amp in the garden house.

if you want a longger battery life then turnoff or disable all the feature you dont use!!! there's a site where it guides you the things you need to disable.
now i got a question regarding the soft volume, there is a secret code *#0228# for the settings of the innov8. can somebody tell me which of the settings should i configure to make the calll/loud speaker and music player louder.

I dont know if someone else encounered this problem, but although i take very good care of my mobile set, it seems that dust particles are getting inside and can be seen on the screen. I dont know how they are getting in..and how easy it is for them to get in !!!!
Surely imposible to remove and clean :((

But I personally doesn't like the default bundled themes because it looks too plain and no color.
I use the iPhone theme found here "http://www.pizero.net/archives/418"
I also use the theme found here "http://www.symbianthemes.us/free,nokia/10417,touch_blue/"
Can somebody tell me will these themes will drain the battery life fast as well ??
Thank you.
