      I'm wondering what the language of user interface is, if I buy this phone from, let's say Hungary, Bulgaria or China online store. I can read English, but not Hungarian, Bulgarianor Chinese.

      Thanks.

        Dear Friends,
        The phone is fine. there is a GPS module inside and works properly with cracked GPS porgrams which eats the battery in 3-4 hours but with car lighter adapter everything is fine. It happens that the phone blocks for a while and should be reset.

              Question for owners: How work SIM2? Is the volume of SIM2 consistent with SIM1? What about data? Support this device MMS together for SIM1 and SIM2. I have Samsung D880 and this is bugs what I hate.

              Thanks for your answer...

                    First I used some programs from the Windows Marketplace (Endomondo) and I downloaded a little CAB file "GPS Test" from the net to test it.

                    Now I use it with GPS program (IGO 8) and it works nice - I did not have to make any spacial configuration. IGO 8 needs all the memory, so you have to exit othe programs.

                    A love the looooong battery life of this phone :)

                          It is nice and practical, except that I just can`t find GPS function. Does anybody knows how to engage GPS? The Manual does not say a word about it.

                            gianniz, 21 May 2010Thank you arden. Has anyone found it on a reliable onlin... moreI'm living in France, and I purchased the S1205 on Speedshop; it was delivered within around 1 week via GLS parcel service.

                            Warning: even when clic on English flag, most parts of Speedshop website remains in Hungarian. Unless you are fluent in Hungarian, Google translation will be of great help.

                            After registering, I placed my order, and... it's all. It seems that online payment failed. To clarify the situation, I called them on the phone (they have one english speaker), and they sent me a copy of the invoice via PDF, with IBAN information to proceed with a banking transfer. I guess other payment means like Western Union would have been accepted.

                            The price is really fair: 220 EUR plus 15 EUR shipping fee. It worths it!

                            The device is working perfectly, including dual sim features, wifi, bluetooth... I received it 24 hours ago, and did not got enough time to test all possibilities.
                            Of course, ActiveSync configuration is tricky, but it is due to ActiveSync and WinXP, not the smartphone itself. It seems that some advanced USB connection features are not supported by ActiveSync on XP. Tip: on the device connection menu, go to "USB to PC" tab and disable "advanced network" feature.

                            A quick guide (paper) is included in the box, but it is in Hungarian :-( However english PDF docs are downloadable on gigabytebcm.com :-)

                            In summary: S1205 is an excellent product, with fair price but the purchasing procedure on Speedshop may be tricky.

                                    The volume problem seems to be with the sim card, because only one of my sim cards (pannon/telenor) is quiet. I try to get a solution for this at the provider...
