      when i was buying my samsung phone.. there was a specific Samsung software that came with the USB. Did you get the USB cable from samsung or samsung reseller? It should have gone with your usb cable. Or try visiting samsungmobile.com to see if you can download the software there.

          silvery violet? hmm.. i got my phone in plain silver. i know there's another model that comes in violet silver shade.
          so far I haven't experienced any problems as stated by the user below. my phone has been working great almost a month now. i haven't made use of the mp3 feature since it would just waste my space, i'll stick with my personal mp3 player for that.

            I've been reading everyone comments and I'm a little shock to hear that almost everyone thinks this phone is pretty good. I've had this for no more then 2 weeks and I hate the phone. I’ve changed the phone twice and it still has problems. The pic's are no good and the camera is just as bad. It drops calls like crazy and you can't hear anything the other person is saying on the other end of the phone. And, don’t get me on the color…it is girl colors. Samsung needs to go back to it drawing board and fix all its problems. My opinion is that the Samsung made a cheap phone on purpose just to make a little money. I wont be shock if within a month they take it off the market because of defects. Final thought the phone is a piece of…….

                Michael, ok I just discovered that this does have speaker phone! Pretty clear and loud. To answer your question, I closed my phone while I had the speaker phone on and someone on the line, the call ended once I closed it.

                I read in another forum, "This phone is not currently available from any major US carrier. It is compatible with some U.S. networks, and may be available from third-party dealers or smaller, regional carriers."

                    Does E640 have a speaker phone feature.. I don't think it has (or I might have to tinker more on my phone).
                    The E730 has that though.

                    Maan got your email. To answer your question, no it doesn't allow mp3 or other music files except the default message tones for the message alert tone. But it does allow mp3 (poly tunes) for the incoming call alert.
                    As to themes.. there are 4 default 'skins' to change the colour theme. I don't know if you're allowed to download off the web to add to this. No customization of themes though in the phone.
                    The prize is typically around 19T++ but if you buy it in greenhills or other shops you can get it for around 15T++.

                      Do you know if you can use speakerphone with the phone closed? I read a review on the E730 that said that the speaker phone only works when the phone is open. Also any info on its use in the US?

                      Thanks!

                        Can MP3s be used as message alert tones in the e640? Are the themes changeable? What's the price of an e640 in the Philippines? Thanks to whoever would help me out.

                              I agree with you. It takes great footage. I was about to go to sleep and just sending off a SMS and figured I'd try the camera w/ flash feature. I was in a pitch dark room and took a picture of my sister in her bed... picture turned out great! Captured her in disgusting slumber. Hahaha! I'm happier w/ this phone than with my nokia 6600.. as you said, only downfall is the memory.

                                ***It can record about 15-20 minutes of video footage (being that you are not taking up too much memory else where)
                                However, its very clear and takes great pictures.
                                The memory is the only downfall of this phone. 32mb is not enough for the video camera- not sure why they bothered with the MP3.

                                  I bought this phone just yesterday. I was debating between this and the E730 but finally went with the E640 because of the slick design. I've always wanted to own a clamshell (all my past phones were nokia) and I'm glad I went with the E640. Easy to use (although I have yet to get used to the keypad since I'm a nokia user) and the display and crisp and clear! The 32mb memory was one of the things that took me forever to decide on and the 90mb of the E730.. but I decided I didn't need that much space nor the radio feature.
                                  The price difference was small and the E730 had the USB cable + samsung cd.. but the ugly design of E730 really bothered me. The only colour available in the Philippines is the black one and it looked like cheap plastic. I would have bought it if they had the silver version.
                                  Another aspect I was comparing wasthe keypad. E730 had the nice silver keypad and at first E640's didn't appeal to me (clear plastic on top).
                                  E640's design decided me. Features are great, camera is clear (i still have to play around with all the features).
                                  Is there a way to make the storage of SMS into the phone instead of it storing in my SIM card and I'll have to manually transfer it to the phone memory?

                                    This phone is performing very well. I've had it for 2 weeks now. The screen resolution and sounds are very smooth and rich. Bluetooth, Speakerphone, Cam, and MP3 work flawlessly. Some say, only 32MB with no card slot? I say this is OK since I used to have a RAZR and that had only 5MB memory!
