Samsung Z630 - user opinions and reviews

I have the 709SC (Japanese name for the Z630).

BAD POINTS -

I can't handle MP3 files; you have to use MP4.

There's no way to use your own uploaded MP4 files as a ring tone, and you can't run your own Java software on it.
Is this the same on the Z630?

The menu navigation system is one of the worst I've used. Having to go though a bunch of menus to do something when they could have assigned keys to do the same function really irritates me. - Do I really need to press the menu button and then select the zoom option and then the zoom button when I could simply just push the up and down side keys?

The Flash menu system is all very nice at first, but if you want to navigate around quickly it soon becomes a pain.

The flash is terrible. Whenever you use it you get a white cast over your photo as they've put the flash too close to the lens.

There's no way to disable or lock internet access, so whenever I hit the Yahoo button by accident I start getting charged for data being downloaded if I'm not quick enough to hit stop.

The battery life is a bit crappy, and for some reason the phone doesn't show me the cost of the calls I make. They all show 0 Yen. Does anyone else have this problem?


GOOD POINTS -

It's small and compact.

You can transfer your pictures from the phone to your PC via a USB cable.

You can customise a shortcut menu with commonly accessed functions/applications such as the calculator of calender without having to go through a bunch of menus.

To rotate the screen when viewing a video on most Samsung's you press the 1 key, although on the G600 you have to press the # key. Having never touched this handset I suggest if neither of the above work press all the keys and see if any of them will do it!

Attention:
Don't buy from e-buy-global.com !
It's strange that they got mobile phones 70% cheaper, e.g. 8600 Luna - $150. It's that odd, that it doesn't even cover production expenses...
So, my advice: don't even write to them. They aren't really from Italy! Their host is somewhere in Israel! It might aswell be some kid playing around behind his PC, and getting his money off our backs.
When I asked for their company's registration number, business rate, or something like that, the director replied to me they haven't got it for anybody. 'Cause that's something that has to be made public, so anyone may verify it.
Thanks! Bye!

Yeah, it is the same as 709SC, and I have the 709SC model and it does have flash.

Does anyone know how, if it can be done, to delete the preinstalled files?

This phone has been available for ages (At least 6 months) on TIM in Italy, why is it only appearing here now with availability: "Coming soon"???
