            Singh R., 15 Apr 2010Can someone tell is it a good phone to buy. Do you face pra... moreMr Singh R.

            I'v been using this mobile for the past one month. No such crash problems.This is a killer buy if you are living in india for 12.5k.
            Pros:
            1)3.2" Capacitive touchscreen(Touch is very senditive,very impressive)
            2)800 Mhz processor and DIVX playback. I had no problem playing a 720p movie file(infact its DivX certified phone).
            3)Google applications like gmail,orkut and also face book,my space etc plus the Android Market with tonnes of applications(you will know what i mean once you connect urself to the market)
            4)Samsung has announced an update to 2.1.
            5)Using GPS was a pleasure on this phone.

            Cons:
            1)Android 1.5 doesnt have bluetooth file transfer.
            bluetooth can be used only for headset.
            2)Android 1.5 supports only 65k colors but the hardware is capable of 16M.
            3)Samsung PC suite can be used only for updating the phone which means you cannot sync your phone with PC.
            4)The camera doesnt have a flash and its just point and shoot. Nothing more, no modes,no options but has auto focus.


            If you can digest all these shortcomings for a shorter time until the update arrives(Hope samsung fullfills its promise & yes the update overcomes all this short comings),then you can very well buy this phone!

              Just dump your divx movies to your SDCARD. then go to
              menu->galleries->allvideos. There you can find your movies(Android scans the card and shows up all the videos in that folder).Voila!!!!

              Enjoy!!!

              Great phone. Its just a killer buy for 12.5k! Capacitive screen,Divx playback, great hardware,Android with update whoaaa...

                        This is the most pethatic phone...Guy don't go for this one...no multi touch, sound is average, GPS takes long time to connect, they claim that spica has 800Mhz but the fone work really slow. Its doesn't connect to PC Suite & many more...my personal recommendation, avoid this dumb fone..

                                Its really no problem in typing & is better than all touch phones in this range or even better some higher priced phones. Nokia's touch screen qwerty don't come even close to it.
