Samsung i320 review: Smart goes slim

09 August 2006
Samsung i320 is worth admiration. In its tiny (11.5 mm thin) but extremely elegant body the manufacturer has fit a full-function QWERTY keypad, a rather good display, and most importantly - Windows Mobile OS. Samsung i320 tunes with the latest trend in the mobile world, that is, the thinner the better.

I just got this phone, and moved my sim and memory card from my old one. I can't seem to be able to find my photos and music on my memory card in the programs, anyone know where I can acess this?

      Sollution to disable Shutter sound on your device SAMSUNG i321n (should work under i320)

      *First of all download Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/smartphone/explorer/default.asp )
      Install this on your device.

      *Record with the the standard voice-recorder in windows (sound recorder under accesories) a wav-file without sound (so simply disable your microphone) make it 5 seconds

      *Give this file a very simple name like "_mute.wav"

      * Copy this file from your PC to your device using your windows explorer, put this in the Windows folder on your device

      * Now open Resco Explorer on your device, press "menu" , "options" , "browser" and uncheck the both options of "Hide hidden files..."

      * Now browse on your device to the \windows folder and FIRST COPY/BACKUP the original."camera_shutter_1.wav" !!!
      Now locate your _mute.wav file, now choose "action" , "rename" and give the file "camera_shutter_1.wav" (please do not choose "camera_shutter_ 2.wav" or "camera_shutter_3.wav" )

      * You now will get some alert-windows if you are sure etc. just press yes and then.... SILENT SHUTTER IS THERE!

      This works for Samsung i320 and i321 , i321N
      You may try in others

            I use this device second week after SE P910 and much him complacent. In him no nothing spare, all work much well. Every time when take it in hands, but this occurs enough often, feel insofar this friendly, beautiful, stylish and clever device, without installation of additional exhibits even. Samsung - a good lad!

              Yes, if you see the display in color bands youll see the difference as the post below says, but in the daily usage you dont see the difference, it arent noticeable, specially in a phone without camera (¿do you understand?), maybe you because uses some kind of bionic lenses and for sure you put a name to each color in your 16M color screen.

              I dont say anything against your beloved nokia, i say the truth when i wrote about the work of the processor in the screen (number of pixels and colour deep) in EVERY PHONE OR DEVICE (SE, nokia, motorola, samsung, LG, sharp, HTC, sagem, pantech, benq-siemens, sony, nikon, kodak, ETC), i never say that e61 has poor life time, please dont misinterpret my words... you always are in a defensive position man...

              Be happy please and dont suffocate in a glass with water...

                On color gradients the difference is clear between 262K and 16M color, the latter doesn't have color banding.

                  yes from 65,000 colors to 262,000 there is not much difference, but from 262,000 to 16 millions there it's!
                  tarantula again, you posting fanboy comments... shame on u.
                  the n61 have a 1500mah lipol battery, that cannot be called weak in any way.

                      nokia e61 has symbian S60, symbian UiQ is only used by SE smartphones, not by nokia.
                      16 millions in a screen, it means more processor work with worst battery life, and i wonder if you see the difference between 262K and 16M colors in a screen.

                          Can you share the GPRS connection over bluetooth or USB cable with your laptop?

                          (I wish reviewers would post useful information for once instead of rattling on for hours about the looks and the keys and whatnot!)

                              all the other phones that you have mentioned are BIG and HEAVY. This one is small and light, that what the selling point is.

                              Its 65k display cos windows mobile 5 doesnt allow more than that. Infact the screen is 256k.

                                  this fone is a completely useless fone,, nokia's e61 with full keyoard is better with os 9.1 uiq 3.0!!! when ur watching high quality videos or high color images,, the 65k screen wont result good but the e61 will result much better as with 16 million color!!! and if u want windows mobile than why dont ya buy some touchscreen phone of imate, o2, qtek, dopod etc..(htc phones)
                                  plz dont buy this phone!! best of luck!!!

                                    Its looks worse than the Motorola Q IMO, but i feel its keypad is more functional and user-friendly, and its business-like black finishing separates it from the bubbly, more casual Q.
