Brutako, Im pretty sure it will drop its price in June! :) Samsung firmware's are not as customizable, therefore im not pretty sure if it can be updated or upgraded its pretty much as is! :)

Hi Brutako! :D
I bought it in Glorietta, Gold Crest for 11,900 philippine peso. In Canadian $ it should roughly be $290? Which will be more expensive right? than what you mentioned as $75 canadian.

I'm purchasing the g600 belle. Does the g600 belle have mp3 ring tones and can the last longer than 15seconds when someone calls you?

Hi Mewy,
I'm planning to buy this phone for my gf when I go back there in phils this june. I'm wondering where you bought the G600? I usually go to either Megamall or at glorietta. At least I would know for sure its the real deal. Its a bit expensive here in Canada by $75 canadian. I dont know if its going to drop before I go home. Btw would they install the new firmware at the store where i bought it or do i have to go somewhere for it? Thanks in advance.

D880i is a bit thick but at least more stable to hold on BUT it doesnt have flash!
G600 is more appealing when you hold on to it than just take a look at it.
Nice keypads very easy and soft to text not noisy and it doesnt sound like hard plastic.
Slide is a bit wobbly, and unfortunately, camera is not at par for a 5mp :(
Flash is not bad though, but it doesnt know how to balance itself unlike n95.. you end up so white in the pic.
Good thing about it is it has themes!!! yey!! and nice job samsung for the interface but quite slow indeed especially when trying to access your microSD.
Menu animation is really cool! and equalizer effects for a stadium and Live sounds so real!
Overall, im still happy with the phone just got it for php 11,900 here in Manila.

You want something to replace your D900i ? Get another D900i, because it is far better than this one (and now twice cheaper). I know i have both phones.

good surfing to all.
anyway, i bought this phone 3 weeks from now, and its very good. the camera is good, design ios good, keypad is great.
anyway, for those who always said that the camera is a crap, that images are blurry and not focused even if the setting is set to autofocus, try reading better photography books and you'll know how to make your pics good and better, even if taken with a cellphone.
for example, this phone has an autofocus option but I think that it actually focuses the subjects placed at the center of the viewfinder; so, if you want to take a picture focused on something that is not placed at the center, try focusing first at your subject then hold, after locking the focus range and exposure, now move the phone aiming it somewhere else as if you want something or someplace to be your backgroud, then take the shot, it's a lot of things to do but for the sake of better pics, then do it. this process will make your subject focused and clear even if it was located at, for example, the lower right of the whole picture and the rest, like the background, quite blurred.
but if you want to make a picture where everythings clear, then turn off the autofocus and change it to pan focus.
'hope I'd help. thanks.

Had this phone for about a week. Paid $300, unlocked.
Pictures: took a series of pics in a variety of conditions. The quality is great and the plethora of features are amazing. However, a 5mp digital camera would produce much better pics.
Ringtones: you can totally use an mp3 as a ringtone (I do).

The light flickers because it is set to automatically adjust the brightness depending on the lighting conditions. You can change this: Settings - Light Settings - Brightness and change from Automatic to set brightness.
