The phone is good, but nothing spectacular, and it has some bugs.. al least mine.
1.In phonebook i set it up to use only phone memory contacts, but when i write SMS and go to phonebook, there are both SIM and phone memory contacts... so i had to delete the SIM so i don't have double contacts when writing messages.
2. When i once connect it to PC as "media player", later (on reconnection) it woun't work as PC studio, i have to turn off/on the phone, sometimes even have to restart the phone settings.
These two bugs are not a big problem for me, i bought the phone mostly because of the camera which is the best thing about this phone, and it is quite good for a cell phone.
Question: Is it possible to set the camera to take three 5MPix photos when working in "panorama" mode? By default it takes some small photos, and i'd like to change it to be as big as possible.

Tnx a lot in advance!

    Genki De, 07 Oct 2008Sorry Stephen, there is no lock disable i can find... but i... moreCheers for that Genki.. I am doing more exploring with the phone right now and do like it, just a few issues here and there. Probably not issues to most people but I guess we may be a bit more picky : )
    I do find it odd that everytime the phone is closed for more than 5 seconds or so you have to open it or go through a seriesof buttons to use it in the closed position. Very bizarre.
    Cheers, SH.

      Sorry Stephen, there is no lock disable i can find... but i'm still playing w/ mine so if i find it i'll tell you. But try they hack it may be in there. and if you screw up you can just reset it to how it was before w/o losing memory.

            Had the phone 4 months now and love it. Confused with sms storage though. I get a message saying inbox full, delete some sms, but on the memory status, it will show 285/500. Can anyone please help??? It's a contract phone on vodafone.

              OK, cheers for the information about the clock bar.
              One more thing though, Is there a way to disable the keypad lock that happens when the phone is closed.
              While the phone is closed the keypad lock seems to automatically come on, even to navigate using the touchpad I have to go through a process of unlocking the phone just to use the touch pad !!
              I have looked in the menu and it says the keypadlock is off.
              Anyone ?
              Cheers.

                        No you can't remove the clock in the top band, and yes the SOUL can handel an 8gb san disk micro sd.

                          Jono- If the phone is unbranded (Non Vodafone, etc.. version) it can handle up to an 8GB card.

                              Has anyone, anywhere figured out how (if) you can remove the clock/date bar that goes across the upper part of the standby screen ?
                              It is ridiculous that there does not appear to be an option to hide it. It essentially means that there are always 2 different clocks on your standby screen. What was Samsung smoking when they devised this ?? The most pointless thing I have seen on a mobile yet.
                              Other than that this is a great phone.
                              Any recent firmware upgrades to correct this ?
                              Cheers everyone!!

                                    - Type *#0002*28346#.
                                    - It will bring up a menu.
                                    - Load Params.
                                    - Dump Params.
                                    - Call Config.
                                    - Press Back & it will bring up another longer menu.
                                    - Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu.
                                    - Then key in 4 to bring up have-QTune (MP3) menu.

                                    - Input 40 & press OK, it will change to 4.0db default max. Volume is 3db. I wouldn't recommend higher than 6.0db because the sound will distort, anything lower will be fine.
                                    - Once done, press cancel to close the service menu & try to play a MP3 with max. Volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones & Message tones.
