What are you guys talking about? to type you're in T9 dictionary you type: y o u 1 r e simple...
my question is where do i get software to upgrade it because i bought the phone from the telstra store and although it's not locked to any network it still has all the telstra menu's and its annoying since im using a vodafone sim in it

Hi folks,
I've been reading the opinions about the Z510 and they helped me to decide to get one - so thanks for that.
Had mine for about 4 weeks now and am very pleased with it after a long search for "THE" upgrade that does eveything I would like it to do, but also looks nice. (Being a girl, this is very important to me. I tried 3 different handsets on the O2 network and they said this was my last chance so I HAD to get it right! lol)
Anyway........I have a question, after searching on here, the Samsung website and I'm still stuck! (I've obviously read the manual and help files too).
Does anybody know how to download a WMA file to the media player? I've tried using the PC Studio and it says that the file format is not supported! I've downloaded MP3's no problem and it's supposed to play WMA's, but it won't let me download them. (I have also checked that I have the most up to date software for the PC Studio) I'd appreciate any ideas.........Thanks a million.

The minimum amount of clicks after composing a message is five , but there are at least 3 to get there so that makes a grand total of 8. And this is using all the tricks and shortcuts available. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.If you go the long route it might take 12 or more.
I guess I´ll have to go back to my primitive Motorola and Samsung as lost me as a customer.

Yes i have found that you can't write "you're" it is very frustrating. To the software engineer who left this out: you're an idiot!

The minimun number of clicks needed to send a message after you compose it is 5. Just press the middle button to skip some useless clicks. If you dont use the 3G service in order to save battery energy go to settings>network>network mode and choose GSM900/1800 instead of "automatic". It is estimated that you can save up to 20-30% of battery duration this way.

To Alaram,
I have the same problem as Melvin, I am used to writting a message and sending it. With my old Motorola this was a 3 step process. Here I think it takes 10 or more. I thought this phone was more advanced than a Motorola... I have tried setting the shortcut you said but it still takes many steps to send the message. Am I missing something? I still think the software sucks. Please tell me what is the minimum cliks to send a message as I have given up on this phone and will probably go back to my old Motorola if I can´t resolve this problem.

you cannot set mp3 as message alert tone. has to be a .mmf tone.
i wish it would display the number you are calling while calling like my old SE. currently have to press extra key strokes to know what number you are calling.

Do yourself a favor. Buy the Motorola V3x. For 2 phones in the same price range the v3x is far more superior. Better camera, ect ect

Hey,
I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.. so far I really like it and no regret! thin, compact, rich in features, cool in black colour 'n many more. it's the best 3G phone i've ever had. I'd personally recommend this to anybody who after this phone.. but, there are just a few things that I doubt.
1. the alarm sound (a bit loud, but nvm, i dont use much of the alarm feature anyway)
2. battery goes flat faster than it suppose to be (i charged it every 2 days even i didnt use much). does any of you have the idea about this? is this normal?

I was in a mobile store today and they had a demo of the Z510. When i opened and closed the phone i noticed that the demo seemed to "click" into its closing position and when you opened it you had to apply a tiny bit of pressure to open it. I noticed this when i opened the V3 and it opened easily. I just want to know if the real Z510s open easily or they have this little "click in" feature (the guy at the store wouldnt show me a real one..) Thanks!

TWO BUGS IN THE Z510:
It is impossible to write "you're" in a text message without changing to 'abc' mode, rather than T9.
When the phone's battery goes flat, it resets the message on the outer screen to "Hello".

This phone kicks the v3's ass!
Sure, they look the same but the samsung has so many more features! e.g it has a 1.3 mega pixel camera as the v3 does not have any mega pixels!!!!!!!
Im purchasing this phone verry soon and my friend has it. I used to have a v3. I dont see what so special about them. p.s motorola sucks!!!!!!
Samsung is soooo much better!
Michael.

Hi it's Melvin again you still have to click "Create Message", "Text Message", write the thing, go through a list, and then select who you want to send and click "Add" and then click confirm and then click send! I wish you could just click "New Message" write it, find the person and click send..
