- MZb
Don't be fooled by a massive ad campaign.
This fone is the worst ever..
its been two weeks but man - scratches on this phone is rediculous..
Call quality and drop call compared to my last Nokia is terrible.. I use same operator so I blame SOUL...

Linda, 16 Jun 2008Hi Nikki, as you manage a phone shop...then would you say that this phone is better than the L... moreWould like to tell everyone that having earlier said that I had to give in due the low volume on what is otherwise an excellent phone I have just got the F480 Tocco. Oh my God it's brill!! Just getting used to having no keys, but hey that took all of about 30 seconds, definitely better than the LG if you feel you have to get rid of the Soul.

Jay, 18 Jun 2008Can someone please explain how to turn off 3G on the phone as i have heard it drains the batte... moreyes it's for sure that 3g network is more power hungry.
To switch to GSM network (turning off 3g):
goto Settings -> Network settings -> Network mode -> select GSM 900/1800 (if you're in UK)

This is a great phone. Yes the call volume is a little bit low but it's not as bad as others have said. Picture quality is great but not as great as I thought it would be. In bright outdoor light its super but once the light gets a little bit dim you're in trouble. Very grainy and blurry indoors and when dim. If you use the LED flash the flash gives that led blueish light that makes your subject look like a vampire. One trick I have found that will help with the blue flash color is to set the white balance to florescent lighting source that cancels it out a bit. Other phones with better cameras like the Ericsson cybershots and Nokia's are better because they have real flashes BUT they really are chunkier and bigger. Even the N82 is too big for my liking so this phone is it. Don't let the naysayers get you down from getting this phone!

edi, 13 Jun 2008the codes posted here are incorreect to get the volume up
they are actualy
Follow the st... morehey does that mean that you have to reconfigure the phone every time you turn it off?
Can anyone tell me about battery life when playing music? is it the same as call time (which is rather short)?
Also, can anyone confirm the microSDHC compatibility up to 4G, is 8G possible? Is 4G slow or does the system handle it well?
Thanks

You mentioned you have managed to change the right soft key with a different code.
May I know how to do that? I am currently stuck with the Gee shortcut and am trying to switch it to contacts. I have called Samsung service centre and was told there is no way to change it.
Please help.
