    Anonymous, 25 Oct 2009does anybody knows how to update the b5702? Update? Do you mean how to change the firmware?
    If this is the case you can:
    1) take it to a samsung assistance center and ask them to update the firmware to the version you want.
    2) alternatively you can do it by yourself. Then you would need:
    - a flash data cable (search for it on the internet, you can find it quite easily, e.g. there is a german site.. service4handys)
    - a computer and a proper software, e.g. you shall use (search it on google):
    B5702 OneNAND_SOLOMON_Downloader_v0.7_for_PNX6517(3disk&&PNX5230_slave).exe
    - finally you need the new firmware.. you may search it here:
    http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-389972-p-17.html

    The firmware version you may want depends on the languages you are interested in (both for the interface and for the t9...). If you want an english stable version, I would suggest the firmware version B5702XDIE1.

          B5702 user, 20 Oct 2009have u ever tried the speed dial? by these assigned number ... moreI used speed dial all the time when I had Siemens phones...After that the phone I used had no speed dial.

          The problem is that I use the second SIM many times a day and for many phone numbers(work phone number). Speed dial has only 9 numbers.

          Other problem: I am used to dial the complete number instead of using the phonebook because I know by heart almost every number I need (family and closed friends as well as company numbers - which are only 5 digits so easy to memorize). this is (or was) faster than going to the phonebook.

          I would have to memorize the position in the phonebook to get over this problem (example: 5# "call button").

          Just have to live with...

                It doesn't happen when writing a SMS.

                One other thing...It seems there is no way, when in a new SMS, to access the phone book from the second SIM. At least when SIM1 is the Default.

                  About the eating number problem and the slow dialing.

                  I think it happens when you're typing the numbers, the phone does a search in the dialed numbers and in your contact list, this search provokes a delay. Therefore, the phone misses some numbers you typed, because it is processing the search.

                        as for advantages and disadvantages....I have to agree with you. I would definitely go back to 2 phones. I have thought of returning the phone but as I was using 3!!! now with this double sim I only have 2phones and 3 sims!! unfortunately I need the 3!

                        Anyone else experiencing slow dialling ?.
                        I also own a HTC Touch Pro (known form being kin of slow - diamond also) and I can dial faster(screen keyboard) and there is no such thing as "eating numbers"

                            Menu: # 3 10

                            I'm in the last days of the period where I can send the phone back. So far, the advantage of using 1 phone instead of 2, doesn't overlap the disadvantages of using it. I think I'm going to grab a different phone (even with just 1 SIM).

                              As for seeing if a sms was sent from sim 1 or 2; this is an issue I have described and complained about earlier. There is no way to tell... only which card you received to (the UI developers must have forgotten about the sending).

                                how is this possible?

                                It keeps "eating" numbers when dialing...

                                  It is kind of slow...example:

                                  if I dial a number and if I do it as I am used to(it is not that fast) when I look at the display the phojne is still writing the number and there is one or two missing numbers.. I don't remember this happening with a mobile phone for a long time! Is this typical in Samsung or is it just this firmware version (by the way mine is B5702XCIF1 - Portugal).

                                  The center Key (internet) should also be customizable. I would prefer it for MENU.

                                  How do I know if a received SMS or Sent SMS is from SIM 1 or 2?

                                  There is one thing I like about the chinese dual sim's - 2 call buttons! I do not think it is confortable to press a key on the side to change SIMs.


                                  How does Samsung updates there Mobile Phone's firmware? regularly? Do they "like" to release new firmware version?

There is only one way to make the call and slide down the phone while keeping the call(s) active: if you have an earphone attached to it (can be Bluetooth too). In this case you can safely slide it up, make the call then slide it down and the call will stay on. For received calls you don't need to worry about that. Might be an overlook as with D880 there's an workaround to do that.

                                      I bought the B5702 2 days ago and there is one thing bugging me. After dialing a number i have to talk with the phone open I can not slide it up and talk with it "closed" . I have had other sliders and that was not a problem. Is there an option? I couldn't find it! or is it mine that has a problem? or there's nothing we can do to change it?

                                      Overall still getting used to it...defenitely worth for the dual sim function..otherwise wouldn't want it..and it is fairly big!

The LEDs are for showing active lines only, but I agree if they had other colors (like green to show new messages, red to show missed calls) and kept alternating, that would be nice too. On the other hand the mobile could be regarded as too showy.
