AnonD-26236, 15 Oct 2011hey buddy can u plz post a link of a reliable seller on eba... more

You can buy from cell force. I bought it from him. suggestion :please buy a memory card of 16/32 gb(class 10) before upgradation so that u neednot have to factory reset later when u think that ur running out of space)
@vivek
Upgradation to windows mango 7.5 steps
1. Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune client.

2. Click on Phone/Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not, continue to the next step.

3. Click the update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the Internet (some people have better luck waiting 1 to 2 seconds). Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi and ensuring there is no Internet connection.

4. After around 30 seconds or so you should receive a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, a post-NoDo security update.

5. Connect your machine back to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune client.

6. After 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install Mango now. If not, proceed to the next step.

7. If the second update isn't popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear. 8. Install 7403.

9. After 7403 is installed, Zune should automatically start installing 7720, Mango. If it doesn't happen automatically, force it using steps 3-5 once again.

10. Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" has been installed!

                    the only thing that bothers me of this phone is the sms which is too small for me read the chracters. it used to be from previous windows phone which is i still using it as an alternate, my samsung omnia 2 (wm 6.5), has the option to enlarge/zoom in the threaded messages.

                        Hey, from what I heard I like It. My only Issue is.... 'How Good' is the Music Quality through Headphones Compared to Iphones ? I am a user of Zune Hd and it blows away Ipods.

                        but has samsung provided good enough hardware to integrated Zune player to make so it has great music quality..... If Any/few user can Tell me how goood th emusic Quality through Heaphones is compared to iphones I would be really glad and thankful.

                        Tnx

It lasts me a full day and I'm a teenager, so I obviously text all day long, plus I'm always on social networks. I just downloaded the new software today, It's pretty rad. It changed so many features on it, it's by far the best phone I have had in my life. Once you get this phone, you will fall in love with it! Trust me.(:
