Anonymous, 10 Aug 2010Bro , ppl always said unlocking pattern ... Does it refer t... moreYup it's those 9 circles for the lock pattern.

@tictoc, you know about the lock code for cellphones where you punch in your number and that prevents people from using the phone right? (different from the pin)

anyways, the lock pattern is like that except on Android phoens instead of using numbers, you can draw a specific line pattern on your phone to lock it. Harder to guess I suppose, there should be videos on youtube showing how it works.

              I think I'll wait out and see if they release a software update first to fix this issue before buying one. It is either this or iphone for me, and I really want a projector on my phone so I hope Samsung fixes this problem soon...

                first time I saw this phone I was very impressed..impressed in such a way that instead of getting the galaxy s, I chose to have the galaxy beam.. for 3 days of used i noticed some problems but by power on reset, phone recovered. But on the 4th day of trouble phone was stuck with android image and since then never recovered. Honestly, I really like this phone but because of its software, I finally returned and exchanged it with galaxy s. From then on, I feel much relieved no more troubles like with galaxy beam..

                        Ali Abdulla, 09 Aug 2010qwerty etc, too bad its nowhere to be found here, and s... moreI think a projector phone combined with a qwerty could still be 1-2 years away. I can't imagine how thick it will be coupled with a qwerty keyboard :p is already 15mm now!

                        They will need to miniaturize some of the beam's feature atm so we can fit a qwerty keyboard in under 15mm. is fine for those people who doesnt like a keyboard thou hah

                                i might settle for the Sumsung Epic(i mean its gsm cousin), and buy a mini projector which will have a video in atleast(i dont have a tv atm :( )

But as per the comment above you the beam has stere speakers coupled with a sound engine of its own (DNSe (Digital Natural Sound Engine)).

                                  So the sound quality must exceed the motorola. tbh the beam is the most feature rich phone on the market right now, besides not having a HDMI out or a larger screen. it pulls attention to whoever i show it too tbh

                                        [deleted post]xt720 speakers is such a disappointment .... Built quality wise , better than beam since alot of "alloy" is used but then the speakers , well , play a long song at the loudest and u can hear "cracking" sound at the back ...
