Jinu , 07 Nov 2009Hi Guys ...LG GM 200 sucks man..never buy this mobile , try... moreHi Jinu... we are all aware of this phone's shortcomings but what you should try and do is love this mobile for the features it possesses. I too get a bit pi%#ed off at time just hoping if this phone could have done much more. But as the truth goes, i got morethan what I actually expected. Compared to the other dynamite phones, this is a jewel and I love this phone for that fact. The thing is, this is quite a unique phone and is better that you don't compare it with other phones. It does lack a lot of features but gives something else.
Something I should keep in mind and gets me into trouble at times..
When was the firmware released?
Is it available at the LG care? and what are the changes made from the previous version?

Hi Guys ...LG GM 200 sucks man..never buy this mobile , try to find some other LG mobile or go 4 nokia ,problems on this model goes a long way,,, Cannot install any applications and by chance if it gets installed then those application wont work,
radio sucks - cannot do anything if radio is switched ON ,its like when radio is ON its not a mobile its a radio device.Multiprocessing SUCKS IN THIS MODEL
most of the java applications fail to get installed , navigation on the browser sucks , need to click thousand times to scroll a single page, most java games controls not working ..Only 2 themes available and cannot install any other themes , so u r stuck with only 2 themes 4 life..sms composing is horrible..
Well new firmware released (which is not available on net)(LG has ignored this model it seems) fixed the resume option on the Mp3 player which is a relief.

Nevin Joseph, 05 Nov 2009ha ha.. but it's still better than your S3500. And i'm tell... moreHi Nevin, I liked the way you put up things for MY GM200. I have this phone and 2 weeks back i bought S3500 for my wife. Frankly i have to accept that S3500 is much superior to my GM200. I dont want to give up my Phone but I accept that Samsung S3500 is better if compared to my phone. Sometimes you need to accept things as the way they are.

Nevin Joseph, 05 Nov 2009ha ha.. but it's still better than your S3500. And i'm tell... moreThe expandable memory of S3500 is 16 GB--->
FOr your kind information, it is 8 times bigger than your mobile expandable memory!!!
Ya your LG need a hot swap, because it has only 2GB memory,so have to buy about 8 MMC to match our S3500!!!
I dont need that Hotswap, because my mobile have 16 GB, and i'm not a kind of person who is discarding and placing the MMC for every five minutes!!!!!
For changing the 8 Memory cards to match s3500,
LG GM200 having hotswap!!! He he he hehehe!!!!

BOSS, 05 Nov 2009One doubt...first thing first s3500 is a piece of beauty
w... moreha ha.. but it's still better than your S3500. And i'm telling this in a very modest way...
-no wireless Fm radio.
-no FM alarm
-no dolby mobile 2.0
-no stereo or 2.1 ch speakers
-stupid battery (850mah only)
-no 3.5mm jack
-no smart profiling.
-no ringtone creator.
-no picture editor.
-I've got a scientific calculator instead of ordinary one.
-One touch full contact back onto memory card
-one touch full contacts restore from a single vcf
-full text message back up in .txt format.
-no hot swap slot for memory card.
-sound output is no way near GM200.
-sound is crystal clear and without any cracks or distortion.
-surround sound capabilities with crystal clear output.
-first impressions are based on sound and not on looks, so GM200 is definitely an attention grabber in public.
So if you can, get it into your head... GM200 has a hell of a lot of features compared to s3500. You cry out with the stuff I lack on my phone. The same can be said by me too. You don't have the features that I do on my phone and as far as am concerned, I am totally satisfied with it.
So don't make a fool out of yourself by saying that GM200 is a dabba phone...
And that's why God gave me two of those and I'm not talking about ears.

One doubt...first thing first s3500 is a piece of beauty
while gm200 is boring bar phone!!!
I previously post the pics of S3500 and G
now talk bout specs:
s3500 vs gm200
2.2 inch screen Vs 2 inch screen
even a simple person who doesnt knw anythin much bout specs will crave for a big screen. yup everyone loves big screen.
16m(1 crore 60 lakh colours) vs 256k (256 thousand colours)
its a huge diffrence s3500 have 62 TIMES more colours so ur pics n videos look more colourfull n lively
240*320 screen resolution vs poor 176*220
screen resolution is poor in comparision to s3500
internal 45mb mem vs 14mb mem
wow 14 mb wat a joke...lol
although s3500 is a slide phone even though it has a sleek design n look -14.3 mm thickness whereas gm200 is bar phone but thickness is 14.4 mm...lol
cam not at all comperable(u knw this)
poor QCIF video recording with poor 176*144 resolution
whereas s3500 has QVGA(much superior to qcif) video recording with great 320*240 resolution.
check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrT_wrhAhbU
ur question was: does it support .mp4 AVC (h.264) video format?
n my answer was: yup man it plays mp4 h.264 & h.263 @ 25/30 fps
moreover for ur kind information it not only plays but record QVGA video in MPEG4 and H.263 formats.
no other fone at its price can do that...lol
n most of all the thing that makes s3500 a sureshot winner is its unique n marvllous features...
Multiple Alarm: There are five alarm slots available on the Samsung S3500 and additional ones can be created if needed. Each of them can have its own snooze time, number of repetitions and activation days. The volume can also be different for each alarm. Furthermore, you can set different tones for each of the alarms and you can choose whether it should trigger phone vibration.
Calendars - Calendar Function is awesome in this phone. It have all Indian Holidays marked. If there is a public holiday (date) it will show a icon below and when u click button, it will show you which holiday it is.
"theme creator"
through theme creator u can create n customize ur own theme according to ur choice of colours n ur choice of pics... its really a awesome feature for those who loves customization.... (to knw more bout it pls read earlier comments)
PRIVACY LOCK: Locking function is also very good where you can lock ur Messages, call log, phonebook, ur files (pics, videos, games etc), calender, memo, task etc...watever u want. really a unique function...
BLOCK Calls n Sms's: u can block calls as well as sms.
"Flight mode"
"USB charging"
"bluetooth security"
when u connect other phones through bluetooth it ask for a passcode....it really enhance ur phone secutity bcoz of this ur phone can not be hack through any hacking tool.
another awesome feature is when you connect through Bluetooth to any other device you can take a control of that phone as all files and folders of other connected phone are displayed on S3500. You can take whichever files you want without bothering other person.
"Fm recording" n the best part is the audio quality of recorded clip is shockingly loud n crystal clear n can save unlimited no. of stations.
"call recording"
crystal clear call recording n the other person on call will not hear any annoying beep.
"Fake Call function" this feature enables you to activate a bogus incoming call, so you can free yourself from awkward conversations or dodgy situations by pretending to take a call. For added authenticity, you can record your own or ur friends fake voice "call" that plays back when you answer.
"Menu transition effect"
if u seen latest aamir khan's samsung ad then u wud probably knw wat i m talking bout...wenever u press a button the screen slides from right to left....it looka awesome...u can also change ur transition effect.
"MOBILE TRACKER 2.0"
Mobile tracker automatically sends an SMS message to a pre-designated number alerting you when your phone’s SIM card is changed, increasing your chances of recovering a lost or stolen mobile phone.
"SOS FUNCTION"
in an emergency jus press either end of the volume key 4 times when the phone is closed. this will send the SOS message to ur selected recipients. if they call u back their call will be automatically connected. its definately a life saving feature.
"Message alert repetition": it will alert u in evry 2 min if there is an unread mes on ur phone....u can put it off too.
"keypad lights" automatically set according to day night usage or according to ur custom usage dont have to on or off it manually.
have all the features which only a music phone possess....n music player is shockingly loud n clear.
"Random Wallpaper Effect"
very intresting feature...wenever u use ur mobile n came back to standby....it will welcome u with diffrent wallpapers of ur choice each time.(to know more read earlier reviews)
"BLUETOOTH MESSAGING"
(chat/sms through bluetooth FREE OF COST)
1st of all its free secondly its in chat form u can see the history n third u dont have to wait for send or receive as it does chatting instantly.. When you are in Classroom, you can chat with your friends with any of cost and very instant!
"smart dialling" - SMART DIALLING(s3500):
its a great feature man if by any chance use a i phone u probably knw it
Smart Dialing is when you press a number and a list comes up that corresponds the number with the letts. For example, number 6 has the letters "M, N, and O," so if you type 6 three times, it'll find "mom." Say you want to dial Carl, you'll press, 2275
"SMS ZOOM Function"
cam cover: cam is not at the back of fone....it is inbetween the slide so slide act as a cam cover...protect lens from scratches, dust n all.
can change DEFAULT MEMORY setting: u can change default memory settings of bluetooth, wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
for ex: now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.
Awesome file management:
The functionality of the file browser is one of the best among non-smartphones. You can copy or move files - both one by one or in bulk, and you can create and delete new folders (save for the basic ones). Files can also be sent via Bluetooth one by one or multiple at once. Throughout the whole file manager, you can pick files you would like to lock to prevent accidental deletion. The whole file navigation thingy is really quick with no lags whatsoever.
apart from these there are a lot more features like "AUTO REPLY" , "night mode"....the list is endless.....we r still exploring.....
s3500 is a "ALLROUNDER" phone
ok lets talk bout probs
s3500 is great at multitasking n do u knw gm200 cant even do anything wen radio is on...lol
