          I am going to write some other aspects of the phone which I could not find there.

          A few details about my phone:
          Purchase date: 2nd Feb 2012.
          Cost: Rs. 5450
          (Includes: 4GB data card USB connector cable, cell phone, charger, lamination charges etc.)

          All in all I am so far happy with the cell phone. Apart from the details mentioned in the above GSMArena link, my experience with phone:

          Good big screen. Good brightness settings.
          More than great battery backup. Will last more than 4-5 days on decent use.
          Amazing ear-phones. Loved them. 3.5 mm jack port. So they do not disconnect on slightly moving the cell, as in many SOny ericsson phones. Come in small, medium and large sizes. They are insertable into ear, so no outside noise. Also did morning jogging with them, they do not fall off even while sprinting. Cool white color. ear-phone cord, great elasticity. Doestn jumble up much on putting in your pocket.
          Keypad is stylish and beautiful but not so rigid and rugged, I mean, you cant type very very fast and press buttons very hard. May be its just me, but I fell that if I press them too hard, something might break. May be its just the New-Purchase Syndrome :)
          Good Camera. Delivers nice pics as a 5 MP camera. Do not expect digi-cam level clarity but its pretty good. I had a Sony Ericsson w700i 3.2 MP earlier, Primo's picture quality is way better than that cell.
          Bad speakers. Not so good volume output by the speakers, when you put a call on LoudSpeaker mode. Although music's volume is decent.

          Other features are as they are mentioned in the GSMArena link. So far I didnt found any hanging, or restart or any problem whatsoever.

          There are a few CAN DOs and CAN't DOs that I would like to mentions which I noticed over time with this cell.


          CAN Dos

          · Take backup of contacts, messages, calendar, Tasks, Memos etc on an external memory card. And of course eventually be able to restore them. This way you can read the smses that you receive on a PC also.

          · Fake call feature. You can make yourself receive a fake call whenever you want to get out of some meeting making excuse of a call etc.

          · Lock the phone, sim etc. Also you can put a lock on Contacts, messages, Data folders, tasks etc. A pretty Useful feature. Although you can’t put lock on individual folders or files. You can lock only the whole DATA files location for cell.

          · Check memory status of individual files, messages, contacts etc.

          · Change phone language to many Indian languages. Though don’t think many will be using this option.

          · Another important thing is camera pictures. They are pretty good. Not digital camera good but pretty good. You have 3 resolution settings: 5 MP, 3+ MP and less. You can’t zoom at 5 MP but if you lower resolution, you can zoom the picture. But to be honest the zoom part is not that great. Its just there for the sake of being there.

          · Do FM radio recording. Pretty useful. Convertor for Currency, lengths, weight, temperature etc is another in-built useful feature.

          · 18 speed dial positions are there. Again extremely useful for me.

          · Call logs shows not only who all you called but how many times you called them also. So far the largest number of calls that it’s showing for me is 24, not sure what s the limit as it has been just one week since I purchased the cell.

          · Apart from seeing the messages in INBOX, you can also see the conversations with a number. E.g. If you did message exchange with a number, you can see the full conversation as one chat sorta interface.

          · In-built dictionary is pretty fast n good.
          · Can make New sms alerts to repeat themselves. I mean alerts come every 2 mins or 10 mins etc.
          · Can block sms by sender or subjects. Good feature again.





          CAN'T Dos

          Change to many themes. As with most Samsung phones, only 3 themes available. Tried searching on net, but could not find many. Someone who has found any, please tell me also.

          · In built music player is not very good. Not in terms of sound n all. Sound n all is perfect with many options like 5.1 speaker effect, auditorium effect etc etc but I have complains about the way songs are organized. They are not organized based on the folders in which they are. Let s say I have organized all tracks on the memory card by my choice, say fast, jazz, really slow, senti, romatic etc , the tracks in the music player wont be in the same order. They will be mixed up. So it makes it tough for me to organize them into a playlist. In my previous cell(Sony ericsson w700i), I was able to get the songs folder wise from the memory stick, so it was pretty easy to make playlists based on how I had stored the songs. This is a big drawback as per me.

          · In case the phone is locked, a call comes, you pick it up, end the call after talking, the phone doesn’t goes to lock state as it was when the call came. It becomes unlocked. This is a unwanted thing as per me. It should stay locked.

          · So far hav’nt found a way to put a numbered lock on cell keypad. Please let me know if there s a way.

          · When in incoming call is coming and its on vibration or melody either, there is no way to stop the vibration or melody without picking up the call. You have to either pick up the call or reject it to stop the vibration or melody. BIG DEAL-BREAKER for me.

          · Even if you have saved some contact’s birthday, it doesn’t automatically buzz an alert on his birthday. It should. You have to explicitly put an alarm or task for that day.

          · Can’t turn on T9 predictive output permanently. Every time you write in some writing interface, like sms or task or memo, you need to explicitly turn on the T9 by pressing hash key. A big botheration as per me.

          · While writing an sms or anywhere else as well, the speed of deleting the words does not increase if you keep pressing the clear or erase button. I mean it clears the written text at the same pace, even if you keep pressing the clear button. As per me the speed should increase and it should clear faster. This is a big headache when you want to clear a large text.

          · No uniformity in the numbering of menu options. For instance in some menu, the shortcut number to delete something say an sms or some file is 4. DELETE, but in some its number 2. DELETE. This is a bug, since majority of people try to and tend to remember the shortcuts rather than navigating with



          Also, a few more TIPS, (I compiled these form GSMArena comments. Thanks to the original providers)


          · flash can be used as torch by simply pressing and holding upper nevigation key, do same to turn it off
          · 2000 contacts, 1000 sms storage capacity

          · java supported (some java apps may not support, delete them) , apps storage limited to 6MB, java file support size can be increased by dialing *#52828378# (no saved in harjot’s cell as Java settings name) then goto "OTA Test" select suitale max size then save

          · good video secondary camera {to check quality dial *#0*# then press 8.

          · you can "Backup" all your sms, contacts, calender events, memo and tasks

          * exellent "Mobile Traker"

          · * to see version of your firmware just type *#1234#

          · Privacy lock available which can be used to set password on My files, messages, contacts, call logs etc.

          · U can set one of the many numbers for a name to be the default called number.

          · When reading a sent or received message go to options and zoom view....200% is excellent!!

          · TO USE PHONE WHILE CONNECTED TO PC

          Here in S5610 it doesnt give u the option and once it is connected u can access the phone features, but hey wait there is a work around, follow the steps as mentioned below.
          1) Place a call to any number who doesnt answer (i always call the customer care)
          2) When the call gets connected connect the USB cable to the COMP and the phone.
          3) After connecting the cable just wait for 3 seconds and then disconnect the call.
          4) You will be in the regular home screen and u can use the phone functionalities as well..

                          It has following drawbacks

                          * it has no graphic emotion face
                          * only small size of game can be played if it more than 1mb it'll show it has error...!
                          * limited no. of apps
                          * because of some preloaded apps like facebook chat,windows live massenger , Gtalk,yahoo massanger these will consume more java memory so we are unable to install above 1mb size files
                          * major problem of this mobil is we are unable to zoom in camera even though it is 5MP...!!

                            This phone have a good camera. It's the only thing it got. It shows so many network problems- we can't make calls sometimes, poor internet speed in 2g network. Other apps(eg:new version of operamini, nimbuzz etc) do not work in this set. And also sometimes hangs. Blootooth speed is less than version 2.0. It will become a long essay if point out all it'7 demerits, so bye.

                                    SETTINGS-> PC connections-> then switch to MASS storage.

                                    and yes regarding the video problem-
                                    as the screen resolution is 320*240, so you must get your video converted to 320*240 frame and remember "the MP4 must have "ACC" audio format associated to it "(which is standard MP4 feature)
