I bought this phone a couple of weeks before.
My only problem is that there's strong background hiss from the amplifier when using it with headphones. The hiss is even heard from the phone speaker.
Otherwise audio quality is good - not perfect as the review states - just acceptable. (Although the phone can't use the full potential of my Philips SHE9700 earphones at all - I suggest that GSMArena makes some real life testing not only lab ones, so that users are not misgyuided by bare numbers)
My question is is this hiss normal for the phone? Should I take it to service?

Even now one year after its launch this device is one of the great all round feature mobiles. Its build quality equals or is better than many recent devices launched this year.

My U900 has six months. I take photos at max quality, and when i try to see those photos in the phone, the browser is extremely slow.
Anyone knows how to update the firmware or see which is installed yin my phone? thanks

I have used samsung phones for the past 8 years. This is the worst phone I have come across where durability is concerned. All you folks are only talking its functions. The software failed twice within the year. The phone is just an year old. The housing looks about 10 years old. Huge wear and tare on the housing. The manufacturer expects the user to wear surgical gloves while using the phone.Where does a user touch the phone the most? Its the exterior, Samsung doesnt pay enough detail to body durability. My phone housing is peeled and discolored all over. The screen is not scratch resistant at all. Even though the phone housing is metal and heavy, it is not durable at all. Battery life is awful. No Proper cover was available for almost 6 months since the phone was lanched. Samsung is only interested in launching new phones one after the other. They dont care about accessories at all. Car chargers,covers,screen protectors are not available immediately. Worst still are the wide range of bluetooth headsets, none of them can be charged on the move. So, it has to be a Samsung phone with a different brand bluetooth.
Hope Samsung will look into these shortcomings and become #1 soon.

I got it last week and am very upset by the fact it uses a different viewer for pics and videos in de memory card and those in the phone the one for the memory card is the worst nightmare of any user, it cannot zoom in the pictures and when you are viewing one you have to go back to the list to view another pic, a process that takes minutes not seconds. Scrolling through that list is painfully slow and makes me like to throw away the little piece. Please Samsung tell me who had this idea.

Anonymous, 29 Jul 2008anyone having probs sending messages?? got a signal and try... more1 settings,
2 network settings
3 network mode
you should have 3-4 options one is automatic, this pics up whether your in a 3G area or not.
change it to a simpler setting like GSM 900/1800 or GSM 1900.. preferably the first.
see if this helps.
apparently its a network fault and certain areas dont have 3G cover properly. so meaasages will push when they are in your outbox, so when you send again it send twice coz the first message was still pushing.

I purchased my samsung soul a month ago and my problem with it is that it's battery life only lasts from 8 hours to 10 hours. the longest battery life i experienced from using the phone was 2 days tops and that was when i first bought it. i tried closing all the applications that would affect the energy consumption like bluetooth, vibration, etc. I also tuned networks setting to gsm mode and i mostly use my phone for text and limited calls. Any one has any idea how long the battery life should be. This phone is not really working as a mobile phone for me because i have to charge it every single day and it would still die out on me even before reaching home. I even have to bring the charger with me everyday just not not to miss important messages or calls. Any comment would be nice.

You can fast forward and rewind on videos, I'm pretty sure you also can with mp3. What I would like to know is if this phone has any games? Surprisingly, no mention of them in the review, probably because there's so many better things to talk about with this phone. But seriously, Samsung usually pack a heap of games, I'd like to know, if anyone owns the Samsung U900, does it have any games and if so, how many and are they any good? Lol, I'd just like to know. Thanks
