though i will never buy this phone coz it lacks the features i require, i think this is the most beautiful phone ever, all classy in color black, however, inno a20 is close to it in beauty and has better specs

              i definatly agree, i think this phone is wicked, its a top range phone, for sure, i can use 3pg converter, to change mp3 to 3pg, 3pg is basicly like a video format,

              in order to download a vidoe on your PC, to your phone, its best to have a 3pg converter, you can convert teh video file, and choose the quality, etc, and send it to your phone. this phone i reckon is to technicle for some people.

              the phone is too powerful i rekon though, needs a bigger battery, but yea clamshell phones have short battery life anyway, over all i give it 9/10

                This is the best fone i've had, equaling than mobiles like the imate sp4 and nokia 6630 in media functions and better in terms of screen quality and camera.
                All you who have had problems setting mp3s as ringtones, simply convert them to AAC(.m4a)using iTunes put them on the phone, go into file manager, then music, select the file you want, then click set as "Ringtone" this way, they can be any size, even over 300k.
                The camera is excellent, 1.3mp shows up even like 2mp. The flash is also very good, it only operates on one side of the camera although it appears to be one the other side, but you dont really need to because it is so powerful. The video is double regular mobile phones at 352x288 instead of 176x144 meaning no pixelation. The best video recording on the market.
                The mp3 player is very, very good, you can even activate when closed by simply holding the play button. with an amazing 3D stereo sound option that makes you feel like you are at a live concert. Also this phone has dual speakers. You can activate the camera using the camera button with full zoom functions, video recording,and brightness settings, and even the flash when closed, it all showing up on the 65000k external screen. The phone has a better, bigger and brighter screen than the SGH-E770, 262k, 320x240 pixels instead of the E770's 176x220 making it one of Samsungs top clamshell mobiles, top of the range in the UK.

                  Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions and I'm hoping you can help me!

                  1) Is it possible to fast forward MP3s as they are played back using he media player. Ive tried holding down the ffwd/rwd buttons but it just skips the tracks.

                  2) Can you set other ringtones as a message tone ratherr nthen the preset ones? It seems you can only have personlised ringtones but not msg tones.

                  3) When using i-mode, if you close the phone, the front screen displays the orange 'i' symbol. Is it possible to change this wallpaper to something different?

                  4)Finally, does anyone know where I can get themes from for tis phone. I found quite a good website for free wallpapers etc (www.zedge.net) but I can't find themes anywhere and I'm getting a bit bored with the dislpay!

                  Any help will be muchly appreciated!

                  CHEERS!!!

                                      I'm liking this phone a lot, but it looks a little big compared to the phone i have now. To anyone who has this phone, is it a large phone?
