hesitant, 23 Jun 2008thank you very much for the other info...but does "no long ... moreAfter the most recent mergers, in the tiny little HK we still have 5 network service providers, with some additional sub-brands from each.
Competition makes one of the weakest brand (without 3G) to offer about USD$40 off on most new phone.
The only catch is: you need to open a new account, which can be as "short" as 1 month.
Warranty is covered by the manufacturer...usually 1 year in most cases, including my U9. (Moto offers cross regions warranty on its phones, so a phone bought in HK also being covered with warranty in China, Taiwan, and Macau)
Now the phone will go to my wife, and when Zn5 is released with price drops below USD$300, the U9 will go to my mom!

hesitant, 22 Jun 2008im thinking about buying this phone, but i wanted to know i... moreTo Hesistant:
1)About the flip, my oldest flip phone from Motorola is V60i, which was released around 2001(?) and the flip still works perfect! Not sure about flip quality of other mfgrs, though from the company which invented flip phone, you can count, if not bet, on it.
2)The phone is being sold in HK at about US$250. I got one yesterday at US$186...with 1 mth of service (about US$5!). No long term contract!
3)Yes, you can use MP3 as ringtone, which is quite loud too!

@2@XQ: If the java game sets the full screen flag (with the function setFullScreen(true) from the Canvas object) then it will be played full screen (240x320), no bar across the top and no soft keys. The U9 has an ARM11 processor running at 450MHz (I've already posted this information). It does not play .sis (Symbian program) files.
@Y9$Z: I realise that technically grey is not a colour but a cross spectrum absorption of luminosity. However, I happen to like the graphite version of the phone.
@jasmina: You will need the following program installed on Windows (RSDLite 4.2): http://rapidshare.com/files/108137763/RSDLite_4.2.zip
Then you will need to check that you have the right bootloader (version 6.28). In order to check what version you have, hold down star and hash while the phone is off and press power. If not up to date download and unpack this file and flash it to the phone using RSDLite:
http://rapidshare.com/files/108396394/U9_R6632_G_81.12.15R_B_pico_Bootloader_consumer_replacer.rar
Then you need to update the main software of the phone, this file is large (80Mb):
http://rapidshare.com/files/106830041/U9_CMCC_Nolock_R6632_G_81.12.15R_B_GSJPICOCNCMNSL05B_PDS018_LP0615_GSJPICOCNCMNSL_S078_E014_R001_G00
The last file doesn't have an extension. You need to call it .rar, unpack it and flash it with RSDLite.
RSDLite is very simple to use, simply plug the phone in, select it from the list (it should be the only one there), find the file you want to patch a press the button. If you're computer crashes, or the cable unplugs during the transfer, you need to repeat it, but this time putting the phone in bootloader mode (I describe this above), before plugging it into the computer.
I'm not sure of this, but I think updating you're firmware will void your warranty.

@jasmina: I fixed this, but the solution is very involved. I used to have this problem until I updated the firmware. Your firmware must be R6632_G_81.11.29R (you can find this out by going to menu->settings->phone settings->properties->bp s/w version). You need to flash your phone (with a cable and software on a PC) with the latest fireware, which is (R6632_G_81.12.15R).
This will fix the following (as far as I have seen): java games can be installed from the memory card and sms alert while having English menus.
Flashing will erase all your contacts, messages and settings. There is another way, which is to change the menu language. menu->settings->phone settings->language, and select something other than English, assuming you know a second language.
If you need help flashing, let me know and I'll hook you up with all the necessary links and instructions. All you need to have is a USB cable and a PC running windows XP (I don't know if Vista will work).

Battery life is very good, I'm a frequent user of calls, texting, mp3 playback and general playing around with it and it last for two days. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but trust me , I use it a LOT.
I've also tried using it only for texting and short calls and it got me to three and a half days from one charge.
