I've just ordered a Samsung Z500 and have read the comments about switching to 2G etc etc to save battery life. Will this all be self explanatory when i get my phone or can someone give me guidelines on how to!!

Does it matter what bluetooth version you have? 2 of my m8s hav the E720, which is bluetooth v. 1.1, Z500 being v. 1.2 and i cannot connect to eith of them. doe sit matter how many people are on your bluetooth list? i hav 10!

apart from the battery, i was more than happy with this phone but the battery life lets it down. i returned it in less than a month as i thought there was a fault with it alas the same thing happened again. on one occasion i had to charge the battery 3 times in 24 hrs and i am not an heavy user and if you leave the bluetooth on then it just drains it within hours!! i have now returned it and chose another model.

i guess the battery thing really depends on the personal situation, i can get mine to last up to 4 days but normally 2 days use n that is constantly using it.
One thing i do want to know though is if i can use mp3s as my message tone??? any answer would be greatly appreciated.

I've had my Z500 since July 05 and the battery now lasts 2ish days (just basic texting and keeping the headset in, but *not* using the media player), I use a 256MB memory card, and I don't recall allowing the initial charge. Obviously recharging it so many times over the months has killed its life.
I have just ordered an unofficial 1000mAh battery for the last few months I have the phone for before I get my upgrade. Has anyone else bought one, and if so, is it actually better? I'm not sure how big the Samsung one is, but I've seen 500, 650 and 750mAh batteries too.
Also, does anyone know how to switch off GPRS coz I never use it and it should help improve life

A great phone with all qualities i like e.g. video calling, mp3, bluetooth etc, however there are some downsides which a few ppl have had. The alarm for example, only goes off when it wants to (i've been late for work countless times) the battery life isn't great but i've no problem with charging every night, and you can't store recorded sounds as ringtones! apart from that, gd!

My battery lasts for about 3-4 days. I set it on 2G and BT is off (I turn it on when I need it). I also play mp3s a lot. I managed to stuff the phone up with about 30 songs (app. 2 MB each, on low VBR), but the sound is very good. Once I played it somewhat 6-7 hours on the speaker, max volume, and the batt didn't die out until the next day. Guss I'm a lucky bitch. :D
I still didn't get any answer to this... Please, help someone!
Q: Someone mentioned the www.samsungseriez.com site for dowloadins skins. So I did, but not one file has the *.thm extension. There's a readme.txt with no useful info, 4 *.bin and 2 *.cnt files. What do I have to do get the theme onto my cell?
