Bizzy D:

As for this phone (SGH-D840) yes, you can’t use mp3 files for the alarm clock and for the message tone as well. You can only use those that have been preset in the phone. However, mp3 files can be used for the incoming call tone. (I’m not sure about this but I heard that the Samsung D900 eliminates these problems…)

With regard to the speaker of the phone, it’s pretty loud. Switching on its 3D Sound mode makes it well, loud…

As for the flash, there are three options you can choose from: off, on when shooting only or permanently on… So yes, by choosing the last option (permanent) I guess you can say that you now have a flashlight…

Hope this helps…

    Is it true that "all" Samsung phones are unable to use mp3 files as alarm tones for alarm clock???
    It is very crucial for me to know this as I rely on my phone for a loud alarm feature from loud speakers...
    Also, is the flash able to be used for a prolonged flashlight? Or does it only function upon taking instant pics?

    Thanks to those who reply, and please do...

        Hey guys, who can tell me about the looks of this phone. Is the casing a glossy black finish as opposed to the D900 matte black finish?

        Any info would be good, thanks

          Is it normal for the screen to light up all the time during charging the battery? My other phones will only light up for a short while during charging. If the light stays on it might cause burn-in to the screen. Thanks.

            Charles:

            E900, D900, D840, D520, T809 and D820 they have they share the same cable USB, the reason i know it because i've transferring music to my friend and my brother , T809 and D820 when you have service with T-mobile is free and 50$ rebate, D520 is 50, but get 50$ in rebate, D840 pay 140$ for two year contract, and D900 230$ for 2 year contract. For some reason, the box contain D840 don't include the cable, but it work with D520 cable, i've never try any different samsung model than the model i listed above. Personally, i don't like using Samsung, first because i don't like slider as much as clamshell, secondly, you get what you get (can't customize by upgrading new firmware), thirdly, they are very picky with application and music file, better watch out for mp3 and wma song that not in the proper format, the phone won't play. but everything include with the phone is cool already.

                This phone was great when i first used it. stores20 sms on sim card and i think close to 180 on phone

                It does not ring and vibrate at the same time, the sms tone cannot be customized.(only has the ones they provide)

                BUT mine broke.. some wires in the slide broke and the phone dosnt power up. It was really good in the beginning, because i would close it and open it without having to be careful likethe V3 back then.. but it just didnt last long enough for me..

                But i still recommend this phone, maybe get the newer one with the 3mp camera, but the outter coating is like rubbery, whereas this one is like more steal like which i enjoy
