If you want music in background you have to go menu>applications>music player then select a song and exit all music will still be playing until you press exit with nothing on the screen

the phone feels great in your hand the perfect weight perfect width it no that big not bulky like razr yes you can say razr is bulky compaired to this phone

not sure about the data stuff sorry

yes the backlight and keypad light turns off when charging and so does external screen backlight even though you cat still see it because its oled pixels emit there own light

you can see on external name of caller not sure about number ill check that later and yes you can either mute call or cancel call with volume keys you change that in settings

also if you want proper battery info dial
*#9998*228# and you can go down and see milliamp reading temperature of the battery charging info such as time and power input and see what milliamp reading unitl the battey bar goes down from full charge to 2 bars is about 50% battery left very use-ful
you know the little bar on the battey the plastic bit thats where all the sensors for all this are

want more info just post ill check back everyday

    i have some questions about d830, im an x660 user, so these questions are justified:D
    first, how does it feel in the palm, its seems pretty big, as its lenght is 103 and width 54 mm?so i guess there is no 95kb limit on incoming/outgoing data?i mean pictures and mp3 tones?and if it charges, does its backlight go off when the phone is turned off?im sure its external display shows the number/name of an incoming call, but is it possible to turn off the ringing or hang up with the volume keys(without opening the phone)?
    thanks

      dear cr14mson i`dd like to add to your message: ``You can't switch apps and leave it running in the background (e.g., playing mp3 while composing SMS) - If it's possible, pls post here. Thanks!`` YES YOU CAN! HAVE YOU TRIED THIS PHONE OR YOU JUST TALK TO MAKE CONVERSATION? :( ``Hey, anyone know how to turn off camera shutter sound..?`` THAT`S VERRY EASE.

        Hey all i just got it yesterday its very solid and small keypad has the slightest bit of tactile so its actulay ok to use battery is ok charge it every one and a half days listening to mp3's alot uses alot of power
        mp3's on loudspeaker isnt very loud outside screen i very handy without using much power
        it has one speaker above the screen that does it all
        note: peoplesay there are 2 speakers but the grid on the bottom is for when you close the phone sound fom the top speaker gets redirected in that bottom grid and out the 3 holes on the back and but end

          I have owned a samsung for about 2 and a half years now and i love it. Its very comfortable,doesn't cause me any problems and isn't too fragile.
          With phones I actually have only prefered nokia in every way,these days most nokia' are too much like computers and get very slow.
          I have seen this samsung it is very slim,the slimest flip open phone in the world !! So i would think it has reason to be slightly wide,iv held it,its very comfortable a bit wide but fine and the key pad is so cool.
          Im hoping to get it real soon with all its options its amazing the camera the music everything...
          And its not the type of phone thats get worse,slower and more fragile the more modern it is!!
          I may sound like a work for samsung but honestly i dont

            loved the design of this phone until I went into a shop and saw how wiiiiiiide it was. Shame it's so wide I didn't think it would be that big. The fact it is quite wide oput me off. Does anyone else think it is tooo wide?

                  Watch videos full screen? Press '1'

                  Yep, resolution is great. Particularly love the quality of videos you take with it. ^_^

                    Under moderate usage, its runs out of battery within 1.5 day.
                    So far it's the phone with worst battery life ever experience.

                      i love this phone so much! the keypad, yes at first, is a bit !%&$$%... but after 2-3 days, its better than everything else's keypads! you can use the music player, with your headset thou the phone is close. the sound is like, you are sorrounded with speakers... but yes, itas thru theat the speakers aren't as loud as Nokia and SE... the resolution - wow!!! 10 out of 10!!! a pretty perfect phone!!!

                        HEY ALL!
                        I've only got ONE thing to ask those of you who have bought this phone...
                        Does the pad work good? Is it typing if you don't press the buttons very hard?

                        Hope for an answer on this. Sorry for my spelling and wordputting, im from Denmark.

                              Can you listen to music through headphones while the phone is closed?

                                It is as wide as V3 and tiny but longer and a fair bit thinner

                                  True, mp3 is great but:
                                  a. 'Loud' speakers aren't as loud as SE Walkman phones'
                                  b. You can't switch apps and leave it running in the background (e.g., playing mp3 while composing SMS) - If it's possible, pls post here. Thanks!

                                  It IS thin but too long and wide for women, especially those of asian build. (No offense, I'm asian as well :p )

                                  Hey, anyone know how to turn off camera shutter sound..? It can be quite annoying at times. Which leads me to the camera - captures in glorious 2MP, provided you keep a steady hand. ;) It takes pictures in a vertical position, factor in the thinness, the pushing motion when pressing the button to take pics, etc..You get the idea.

                                  As you may have probably read a hundred times, keypad is flat. Didn't have any problems texting / navigating though. Weird... =) User interface is another thing, though; not as friendly as Nokia's or SE's...

                                  One thing (maybe the ONLY thing) I like about this phone is the screen. Big and VERY vibrant colors...Yum~ Like the display here more than the K800's ^_^

                                    64 is the channel number this means that the speaker of the phone can produce 64 different sounds(drum,guitar,etc...)at the same time
