Another update...
Sending sms is an aweful pain...
Once again, if you compare this to most other big brands you will see that there is no shortcut for recently or commonly used contacts...
The phone would be great if you were interested in often doing broadcast text messages, but for the regular person who has a close friend list of 10-20 this is stupid.
You always have the option to make up groups, but who could really be bothered doing this? I am getting more and more upset every day with this phone.

I just bought this phone.
I bought it after finding the effectiveness of the stereo (bluetooth 2) streaming feature.. Many other phones have this, but i have tried alot and samsung seems to work the best for my car stereo...
Anyway, This does work great, but the overall phone is absolutely garbage because it lacks so many features which i just assumed an standard modern phone would have... All the kind of stuff which is in every Nokia and sonyericsson.
1stly, this phone (and apparently all samsung phones) do not have an auto pairing bluetooth feature. This means that for all of you who use hands-free or headsets, you will have to manually accept pairing every time you use the phone/headset. This is very annoying and boring, particularlly because its standard on just about all other brands. Most good phones pair as soon as your in proximity.
2ndly. The media Player is an absolute JOKE.
there are 2 things which once again are standard on most other phones...
If you want to listen to a song which is on your memory card (which is where most poeple will store their music) you cannot simply open the media player, but you have to naviate through the folders, to a special folder call "memory card" then to music, then to any album.. then tell it to open in the media player... the only files which are shown in the media player are the ones ON the phone.;.. very clunky and very non-user friendly...
But thats not even the worst of it. If you are listening to a song and have to pause and return to menu (i.e. send message etc), the phone will compleetely forget everything.. it wont remember the song, the album, the folder or the place in the song that you were listening... so essentially, you will have to naviate through the clunky and slow menu to find the folder and song and fast foward to the point you were listening to EVERY single time you send a message... (so yeah, no messaging while listening to music either)...
The other thing is the touch buttons... I really thought these would be cool when i was about to get it (the mates phone i tried hhad them and it was great for music playing... but this phone has them all squished up (no i don't have monster fingers)... So, if your listening to music and accidentally hit hang-up, you will have to go back through all the menu to start again!!! very annoying!.
Regards,
G

Hi - I have a new Z650i and have the issue of setting the MP3's as a ringtone. Some of you mention to use Itunes and convert the MP3 to aac, however I do not have an ipod as I have an MP3 player. Please can someone advise on how I can overcome this issue? I would really appreciate some help!
Thanks :o)

Hi guys, it really is a very nice phone, but there are a couple of problems that I can't find the answer to. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me.
First, I'm with O2 (UK), and I can't switch off the 3G network, so the battery disappears within a day or so. Does anybody know if you can turn it off when you want to? Is it a phone thing, or a network thing?
Second, can you change the music format to .mmf (the one the phone uses for the sms), so that you can choose the tone of the sms?
Thanks guys for any response.

make sure the song you want is in your i tunes library,right click on the song you want,select the convert to aac,i tunes will now convert the song you have chosen,now you will see two of the same song in your i tunes library,select the one with the little speaker icon next to it,this file will be the converted song. now make a new folder in your computer name it samsung aac files{thats what i called it.its up to you}.right click on the song again in i tunes,copy n paste into your new folder..i used a bluetooth usb device to transfer those songs to my phone...in your phone go to settings and change your ringtone there.the song you sent to your phone should be there to select as a tone....good luck ozzie
