1. Turn your phone off of 3G if you dont use video calls- battery life will last MUCH longer.
2. When you first get the phone you have to do the FIRST charge for 12-14hours, otherwise the phone will never charge fully- will only charge to like 60% everytime.
I turn 3G off, and did a 12hour charge and the battery is ok, until I watch TV or listen to mp3's then it dies fast.
So it has a bad battery, but if you do the two things I said then it will last longer.

So many features drain the battery. Interestingly I phoned Vodafone and complained about the battery and they sent me a new one out not one from the phone box and it seems to have more life in it

Why would you want it to use wav? thats a very old and large file size format, use mp3s.
To transfer either stick your micro sd into the sd converted and then into an sd card reader, or use the samsung pc studio that came with the phone along with the data cable that also came with the phone

I've set my MP3 as a rington using the PC Studio but it's not loud enough

I do not see why there is all this negative feedback.
I got the phone yesterday and have been very impressed by it so far: it looks awesome (if you get the black version on vodafone) its solid and works well, the mp3 player is good, and its very nicer overall.
My only problems with it so far are:
It comes with 5 games, but all are demos- so you can only play the first levels of them.
Memory cards seem hard to find- can anybody give me a link to a site where i can buy a 1gb+ micro sd card?- biggest i can find is a 512mb.
Can you set an mp3 as a ringtone?- ive have a look but i dont think you can for some reason.

Does anyone know if you can change the snooze time as 5 minutes is just not enough!

How do I increase the volume in the test mode using *#9998*324#?????

Does anybody know why you cant set mp3s as a message tone? I assume you can only mmfs, but that is so boring. Failing a way to do that, does anybody have a mp3/wav - mmf convertor?

Is it really so silent?... did anyone try the *#8999*8378# thing? Maybe it isn't at maximum volume...at least, many Samsung phones aren't, so you can amplify the volume manually.
