hi guys, just wondering is there anyway at all that you can change the message tone to a song cause the message tones given are weak. do i have to change the format of the song to an mmf instead of an mp3? because the ones that are mmf are the ones they give you with the phone.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AS THIS IS ANNOYING ME CHRONICALLY!
thanks guys

        mike: you and the other party network carrier has to have 3G services in order to use the video calling with your phone. In the Philippines, where I came from, they've been using this service since 2004. In north america, network carrier cingular 3G video calling plan is scheduled to be implemented by the 2nd qtr of 2007.

                I've had the phone for about 6 weeks now.
                A great phone with a nice big screen, it's got everything.
                The one big, big let down is the battery life. I have to charge it everynight. Don't leave it until the battery icon is on the last cell, it will just drop quickly.

                  Samsung Z510 is an amazing phone.
                  I love using it, wonderfull surrownding sound with 3D quality. Superb display as Samsung makes ever. Camera result is fantastic.
                  Only 1 weakness I felt, Battery is not much good.
                  All in all it's an amazing cell phone.

                      sms is so hard to type and it sucks but all the other features are cool. wish there was a place to put oil to make the keys a bit softer when u push buttons :)

                              "is it possible to lower the volume of the alarm clock. if yes please state how?"

                              The only way I can change my alarm volume is to change the actual incoming ring tone volume. I have the E700, but assuming all Samsungs work similarly on a base level, try this.

                                Hey guys. I'm thinking of buying this phone and doing some reserch about it. Im with tmobile and currently have a samsung phone sgh-x670. its supposed to be mp3 player and be able to send and receive sms messages but i bought the phone unlocked from ebay and everything works fine except for these features. I cant download songs onto my phone cuz they're not in a certain format (not mp3-thinks its aac/acc) and i cant send or receive sms messages. I was told that it's because the phone is not configured to tmobile's settings/configurations. Is this true? If so, then would I still have this same problem with this phone..Z510? Let me know ASAP. Thanks guys.

                                  As for comments about this phone being a copy of the V3X;

                                  I agree the phones have many similar qualities, but they are VERY different.

                                  The Z510 is a LOT slimmer, with it's screen producing more colours.

                                  The V3X has a better cam tho

                                    I've had this phone for about 6 weeks now, and am VERY impressed!

                                    I found setting the phone up to be quite simple, and it's easy to set the ringtones, I don't understand why so many people have issues with it.

                                    I admit the interface design (ESPECIALLY WITH SMS MESSAGING)is very poor compared to the Nokia phones I used to have (especially when inserting special characters for smilies) but it's easy to get over and becomes second nature after a while.

                                    I'm a bit negative about the video feature, I was hoping I would be able to put MP4 videos on the phone and watch them like an MP4 player, which as far as I can tell is not the case, but I will keep you posted should I find out what I'm doing wrong.

                                    As for battery life, I'm getting about 2-4 days before needing a charge. (Hey, it's a very VERY slim phone with a whopping big screen, let's not go around expecting miracles here!!)

                                    All in all:
                                    Needs a bit of work on the user-friendliness of the interface and the PC software, and god-oh-god the SMS system needs work! badly!

                                    Otherwise, crystal clear screen and sound! Good loudspeaker, MP3 player kicks ass, all in all I am very happy with this unit.

                                    8.5/10!

                                      had this phone for 2mths
                                      It has everything you should normally need
                                      and more
                                      good looks / great size / useable buttons
                                      (only thing missing is a card slot, but how much space do you really need ,print your photos dont keep on phone )
                                      the z510 is the coolest phone around

                                        I've not been able to get the supplied s/w to work, nor can I download updates, probably because I am in .us. Any tips?
