      i bought E640 about 1 week and i cant leave my hands off it. i love it so much!!! E640 take clear and crisp pictures. this phone have a voice clarity function even in a noisy environment i could hear my friends loud and clear. the flash is very good. u can choose to on it permanently during photo takin or just to on when capturing photos. however there is something i do not like about is da mp3 player. when ur listenin to music a new msg comes in u cant view da msg unless u exit da mp3 player. da battery uses up quite fast for me coz i love to play games. if u don play mp3 or games dat often u can use up to 2 and 1/2 days. during text msgin u can add in new words but dunno why it will disappear after a few days. there is a function dat when there is a new call u can reject da call by pressin da side key w/o flippin it open! it amaze me alot. lol* in my handset there are 2 pre-loaded games. u can download new games at samsung fun club. but there are only 2 games available yet. so far i would give this phone a rating of 8.5! buy it! its worth da money for so much great functions!

          This phone can only copy the contact info from sim card to phone but you can't copy from phone to sim card. Correct me if i'm wrong.

                    Hey, I am having trouble deciding which samsung phone to choose - the E640 or the E720C. Can somebody please help me out on this. I know the memory of the E640 is much smaller than the E720, but setting that aside, is the E640 the better phone to choose?

                    Does it have animated icons as well? and can the default text size (when creating sms) be set to 'small'? I have had the E700 before and the text size kept getting back to 'normal' mode, and the characters were big enough to be read by the person beside me when i create sms.

                      it's a cool mobile phone but less memory. but u can try motorola (E398) mobile phone tools to crop the mp3 (for ring tones) and dbAmp software to compress the mp3 (up to 50%!!!). I've tried one file that have 5.3 MB, after compressed it's only had 2.1 MB, sound quality still same!!! So I can put 15 mp3 files into my samsung. Try it. Bravo Samsung...

                          tess, were you able to delete, as you put it, those 'stupid pictures' (i'm thinking you mean the default pictures?). Because I tried deleting that plus that animated templates but couldn't because well the phone considers it as a default content.

                          any way/trick to do this?

                            ACTUAL REVIEW>>>

                            Don't believe half the things you hear about the E640- most of the things I read people saying are false, either made up or they don't know how to use the phone, so here's my review.
                            I'm up to the 1 month of owning/using this phone.
                            Overall I have to say it's very good, considering I get sick of phones pretty much 5 minutes after I buy them :P
                            I have to say there is great features on this phone- i seriously don't know what more you could ask for, especially the video camera GREAT QUALITY (everybody comments "WOW thats clear!!!". However with everything good comes a downside, and here the downside is lack of memory! 32mb is just not enough for a phone full of features like the E640- however by deleting all the other junk samsung put on the phone (Any Motion video + those stupid pictures take up HEAPS of room!).
                            Another downside is also not being being able to answer the phone with the handset closed- no loud speaker that way! Only loud speaker when it's open, however the quality is amazingly clear.
                            I also get angry with the (samsung) way of the phone not being able to vibrate+call at the same time, however I think you can get some sort of program to make your own ringtone- but then again who does that?
                            I've got great reception all the time and NEVER had any problems with voice quality both hearing/talking in phonecalls.
                            If you want to use this phone for the MP3 player I strongly recommend you DON'T get it- unless you only know about 8 songs and don't use the phone for anything else (again not enough memory).
                            My battery is only OK, but without me using it too much I've found it lasts about 4 days. *Charge it for ages before 1st use!*
                            But yeah, there only kinda the main faults I've faced, other then those nothing too bad/annoying.
                            Any questions just ask me- I actually have this phone!

                                I just got this phone and it's really worth the amount you pay. cnetasia.com gave it a bad review because all they really concentrate on is the fact that it only supports 32MB of shared memory with no expansions. IF you already own an MP3 player, this is not a problem at all for you. As long as you have a data cable connection between the E640 and your PC just keep uploading your photo's and video's; I only use about 2 or 3 MP3's for ringtones.
                                Other than that, the camera is extremely smooth(hardly any lag), there are many useful functions, screen display is beautiful(the outer display also!), and the looks of the phone is sleek! You can't go wrong with this E640. I'm glad I got this phone.

                                    Hi,

                                    I am thinking about buyng this phone and using it overseas, in Africa. I really want a phone that plays mp3 ringtones. Does this phone allow you to connect the phone to your computer and put songs on from cds? I ask this because I am unable to use a service to buy mp3 ringtones and I do not have internet access with mobiles here. I would just like to add songs from my computer playlist onto my phone and add them as ringtones? Is that possible?

                                    Please e-mail me the answer. Thanks for all your help.

                                    Mambosa

                                      best thing to do is contact your local samsung support center (try their website and click on the appropriate country). that's what i had to do when my mobile company couldn't configure the WAP/MMS and GPRS.. samsung emailed me within an hour and sent me a code to input.. and voila! phone configured.

                                        Is there anyone out there that knows how to set this phone's mms, wap, and GPRS functions. I've tried almost ever configuration listed out there on the net, but none of them seem to work. Thanks in advance!
