jj of santolan, 31 May 2009your comment on the phone is confusing because as you said ... moreHi jj
I use 3G to connect to the internet. The phone has its own internet browser which works quite well. I haven't had any problems with it. I also downloaded opera mini (java, which the phone supports) and tried it out. It works fine, but Opera Mini hasn't been optimized very nicely for touch input, so I prefer the default samsung browser.
As for email, I've entered the gmail POP3 and SMTP settings into the phones email client, so I can open the email client from the phone and download my gmail messages to the phone. The interface looks almost like your sms inbox. However, you only receive emails when you choose to download them to your phone. Push email is not supported. If you have a data bundle added to your contract, its fine, but could be quite expensive if not.

Go to www.davidpye.com, upload the jar file to their server with your pc, and enter in your pixon the adress they will give you to download the file via wap. Easy and cheap, you just pay the wap charge.
(There is another way using hidden menu and codes in the phone with special software but quite difficult and not for the standard user because you can mess up the phone...)

Hi. Just my take on the phone... may be helpful to some.
Have had the phone for a week now and I'm really happy I chose it. Was considering much more expensive options, but glad i didn't. Camera is AWESOME! Can fault it there... video quality is superb. Only thing is photo quality in low light. I'm used to the perfect night shots of my old Sony Ericsson K800i. The Pixon disappoints in that regard. However, night shots are still better than most phones with an LED flash.
Battery life is another thing. 1st full charge lasted about 12 hours, but I played around with all the features quite a bit. 2nd charge 2 days, 3rd is 2 1/2 days and counting. So after optimizing the battery, I guess it should be ok for about 2-3 days of normal use. I make about an 30-45mins of voice calls a day, send 20 messages, use internet for about 30mins a day. Also the odd photo taken and still play around with the features a bit.
There's no wifi but that doesn't really affect me. Besides, I'm sure that'd REALLY kill the battery quickly! I was also sceptical about getting my first full touch screen, but I can gladly say that its probably even easier to use than a normal keypad (and I text alot!). No need for the annoying separate stylus, as finger input is so easy! Internet works like a charm even without downloading Opera mini. Omera mini need to become more touch friendly though. Document viewer works well and I've set up gmail to access through my inbox. Its quite easy and works well. Some emails don't download if "too large".
The widgets are quite cool and the side-bar is a great idea. For the price, I don't think you'll find anything better! I must say that I am happy with my purchase!
If you guys have any questions, leave a post directed to me and I'll try my best to help. Be prepared to wait up to 2-3 days for a reply as I don't check the comments every day.
Happy shopping and if you're undecided, choose the pixon. You really won't regret it!
