    Conf, 15 Sep 2010Hi Simon, Can you confirm that frozen issue was solved? ... moreYes. With the H1 firmware it is solved and runs a lot smoother.

        Hi Simon,

        Can you confirm that frozen issue was solved? I'm not living in Singapore so I'll ask my friend buy and ship it to me. If Samsung Beam get problem, I can't send it back to Singapore to fix.

          Conf, 14 Sep 2010Is it safe to buy Samsung Beam now? I don't want a frozen phone!Since the firmware from august ending with H1, the beam is freed from the stuck loading bug.

            It would be nice if it would come along with an integrated touchscreen stylus pen.

                      dear all,

                      actually last 2 months I was delaying the purchase of my next mobile, with a hope Beam could be released in Europe.... as I can see my hope is gone now.
                      can you advice me the website where I can order it ?
                      and what price ? where is it available ?
                      thanks & regards,
                      seb

                        Hi guys

                        Can somebody tell me how much is the beam as i have checked every possible website but nothing about prices came up. And where is the best place to get one (i live in uk) starhub is one option but theres nothing about the phone there, probably due to recall or short stock.

                        Cheers

                          Simon, 12 Sep 2010Have not heard a thing about this recall for 2.2. Source? Oh, and just to add, i guessed that the recall was to fix the major freeze bug

                            Simon, 12 Sep 2010Have not heard a thing about this recall for 2.2. Source? Hey for the recall bit, that info was from starhub personnel and samsung hotline.
                            Date of release after recall is via samsung hotline.

                                according to samsung, all phones currently in stock have been rEcalled to do os upgrade (2.2). Probably fixing the bugs...

                                  I v just ordered mine on-line (a website in Singapore) I ve used Chinese projector phones the last year and was very happy with one of them but they all have a lack of softwares and features (No winMo, Android...). I am a fan of Samsung products (especially the MBP200 pico projector, it s been almost 2 years and still an amazing product) whatever once i get the Beam, I ll post my review hoping I will have one with no bad firmware. Take care ;-)))

                                    Do you know anything about the Freeze screen after the new firmware (PDA: I8520dxjh1 csc: I8520STHJH1) was installed? Im worried about trying the lock pattern after getting it back with the firmware update.

                                      Dont forget the fact that is has 3GB's of ram.

                                        Hi David

                                        I was referring to the stock battery, after market battery will be anyone's game hehe.

                                        But yeah if all you are interested in is the battery than Beam wouldn't be right for you.

                                        But anyway if you opt for the Desire then why not the Galaxy S, I'm sure there will be after market battery for the Galaxy S too. It has a better bigger screen, cpu, gpu (literally 300% better gpu?). Pretty sure if you are into gaming then these factors are pretty crucial :)
