I have one question, does the i8510 support java multitasking?
In other words, can you minimize a java app, and read your messages, access the camera, etc.
Or even open a second java application, like with more recient SE phones?
I frequently use a java based im client, and need to know whether, it is possible before I buy, I know previous samsung phones were incapable of that.

    samsung fan, 09 Feb 2009How long the battery life in your current used? for standar... more I have done a lot of battery reports earlier but heres an update,,

    Non stop full screen video full blast earfones 5hrs 15 mins

    Non stop music on rock setting on volume 9 11hrs 30 mins

    heavy use start at 7.30am of 12 minutes fone calls 12 texts sent/ recieved 3 mmss recieved and read all with delivery reports..over 2 hrs mp3 volume 9,,drifters video 30 mins,,web 20 mins,,plus some meddling with settings got me near to bedtime with 3 bars left,,got me up in morning with 20 min fone call and seem to die about 12pm.

    light use should last 2 days but could not swear to 3,,it seems good for a heavy days use and then on charge at night ..

    That last report on just leaving it to run down i had brightness auto,, on plus powersaving mode on,, plus them stupid bars below signal strength meter in semi-full lines that stay their till you go online then disconnect,,
    Them staggered lines are supposed to disappear when you set gprs mode to "when needed" from "when available" but it does not with me????

    Does anyone think their is a battery leakage fault???

    Last night was reading into xperia update and even tho it has 1500mA battery plus 10hr talktime plus 833hrs standby it lasted me 9.5hrs on heavy use..The innovate lasts about same as n95 8gb i had but cant tell for sure..I am either doing tests or playing with xperia update,,

    Any hows took innovate off charge at 8am and sent/ recieved 2 texts and recieved /read 2 mms...will post tonight or whenever today what i used it for and battery level status,,it is a really superb smartfone it just needs an update i think and waiting till samsung apps store starts..bye for now,,,

                  I am thinking of buying this phone but could anyone tell me how the GPS works? Can I use my TomTom software with this phone or do I have to buy a map subscription?

                  Thanks in advance

                      @NICK it just shows how much they added on to the innov8 16gb version when the cards are cheaper by comparison,,can you not say you will accept 8gb version with £50 discount,,??remember its haggle teritory even more these days with credit crunch???

                          I'm gutted ! i've had the 16gb version of this handset since it was released in September but recently it had to be repaired due to the usb/charger connection becoming faulty as well as other faults. I got the phone back from repair then the earpiece became faulty and had to take it back. I was then told the handset could not be repaired and was offered the 8gb model with a 8gb micro SD as a replacement. Obviously I tuned this down as an 8gb micro sd is hardly worth the £50 difference inprice I paid. I've been told the 16gb version has been discontinued. I've been told I can have an alternative handset but have not been told what it will be. There are no other models currently available that have the same features as the i8510.
                          I think I may be offered the N96 as an alternative which isn't all that tempting.
                          I've checked on the Samsung UK website and they don't mention the 16gb version on there either anymore.
