Had phone for a week, upgrade from O2, and it looks/feels great. Really like the touch pad and the camera is top notch.
However I do find the screen is more or less unreadable in bright sunlight (not good as I am outside a lot) and the ringing volume is to quiet (major problem outside & in the car). I've played with the settings and even on MAX the ringer is too easy to miss (tried different MP3's etc.) reluctantly I will be returning this one & looking for something else..

btw i've just proven to myself that the 3g network and the screensaver (photo slider) are power hungry.
Was on 3g with a photo slider on, the batt lasted for around 1.5 day for my normal usage. When i dropped it to GSM network + default clock wallpaper the batt lasted for 2 days and counting (under similar usage)...

Check the following:
1. Your SIM card is 3g enabled, confirm this with your service provider.
2. Your network preference is set as UMTS (Settings -> Network settings -> Network mode -> UMTS

just acquired the U900 and so far so good except for one thing if anyone can help or advice me. When i go to make a videa call to someone else who has the option of recieving it wont allow me as it says 'sorry you are out of range for 3G coverage, choose other action'. what does that mean and what can i do to sort it out so that i can make videa calls??

I had the option of this phone, the nokia n82 or the SE G900 i ended up the the soul and i gotta say the longer i have this phone the happier i am with my decision..my mates got a n82 so ive mucked around with his and the G900 hasnt been getting the best of wraps although it has only just been released.. i got kinda bored with the n82 pretty quick and as far as pic quality goes yeah the n82 has it beat but only by a very slight margin (obviously at night with the xenon flash its got this ph beat) but 90% of the pics were on par with the n82. The only fault i can see with this phone is the occasional low in call speaker volume but again 90% of the time it seems fine and as i mainly use the phone for music and texting it doesnt bother me too much. and now to the music player, i just bought some pretty expensive headphones and when i used them with this phone i was blown away!!! the Bang & Olusfen amp and sound quality of this ph is RIDICULOUS!!! easily beats my Ipod and i mean EASILY!!! as i said man the longer i own this phone the glader i am with my decision.. this ph is awesome.. in my opinion anyways, peace

Samsung Soul vs Sony Ericsson W890
I know that theyre concentrating on different things (camera+design and sound) respectively, but which do you think is better both as a music and camera phone?
Also, does the soul have any bugs or technical probs? My prev samsung phone kept on restarting after a year and some of my friends with sansung phones also have all sorts of problems with them..

(pardon my ignorance if SE and/or Nokia are making non-smartphones with unlimited calendar entries).
As for incompatibility problem with your backup service provider, it can be a problem with the service provider also (that they're unable to support Samsung phones) ;)
Sorry if i've sounded over-defensive... just lovin this wonderfully designed (well, at least aesthetically) phone :)

Is there any way to change the shortcut at the bottom right of the screen? I'm only able to change the 4 shortcuts on the touchpad. Thanks!
