Samsung Pixon M8800 - Part 2

[handsumish]

how to change font of this phone......plz reply

[DarthProlif]

Funny thing is, that 8MGP then is as good as a 3.2MGP now, with better technology and all.

Too bad my Vibrant doesn't have flash like the Pixon, though.

[cyriledwardpahuyo]

@DarthProlif yeah.. thats right. hahaha

[MrDanthevan]

What is the call quality and messaging like on this phone?

[pmacca6788]

the call quality is

QUALITY Mate can use the vol slide buttons at the side 2 turn up and dwn witch works great messaging i dnt like 2 much cause the swith view is all over the shot

[provehito44]

ya question. do you have to have data plan to have this phone?

[iain1351]

[drplbiftin]

the camera is wonderful, the phone is not. The phone is utter rubbish.

[MrBoOmSeLeCtA]

[hawkermana]

got it and love it

[gem537]

mmm shall i get this phoen???

[pandack01]

im in england... getting this phone on tuesday :)

[JIANTING44]

Which phone is better, in terms of camera?

1: Samsung pixon M8800

2. Sony Ericsson C905

3. Sony Ericsson C901

Answer me! Thanks.

[alemarchionni94]

@JIANTING44 Samsung Pixon

[2000pcman]

@alemarchionni94 ....But C905 has a better flash (xenon)

[kiely456]

@JIANTING44 i have the samsung tocco ultra which also has a great 8mp camera like the pixon, but the build quality of the tocco ultra is far better..plus it has an optional slide out keypad if your not keen on touchscreen texting

[Topazmegz]

@kiely456 i hate my tocco ultra, it doesnt have a qwarty touch keypad and its lags like crazy and its soooo slow

[Strefa510]

how work browser?

[w5nker]

im getting this phone tomorrow

[kkpisa]

i cant decide between this and the C-905

the thing is that this is shinny and that sucks ass really bad

[w5nker]

ahhhh

well i have the phone now but i have it in silver

and it isnt shinay at all

and i have been tryiing the pictures out on it and it is amazing .

but i found swaping my contacts over was a painstakingly long job but i got there in the end .

also there were some files like some music and video thtat were not iin the right folders and had moved into a diferent folder ,

and i found some files which i had never seen before and it said i couldnt open them it was unsoported but its an awsome phone

[anythiinqq]

@w5nker is this phone nnice to use?

the functions ?

[w5nker]

@anythiinqq its a pretty good phone to use, but most applications cost money because you have to use wap or other internet services depending on what your tariff is, but i have found one drawback, you cnat change you screensaver wich is realy disapointing because everything else is amazing, deffinetly recommend it but if you want something cheaper i would go for the samsung tocco light, amazing phone.

[steveg28hotmail]

can you get third party apps?

cheers

[RyaanM123]

The Camera Doesnt Look That Great :S

[cleverboy500]

at first i owned the sony ericsson 8.1 mp cyber shot c905, and i changed it for this phone ... and let me tell you something guys..... i regret it. it has led flash, c905 has an excellent xenon flash. the zooming in this phone when taking a pic is not as good as the one in the c905. and to to be honest the pics it takes are not so good, it's like if i was using a 5 mp c. phone. the c905 has wi-fi... this phone doesn't and that sucks.

this is an ok phone, but it's not worth the price. sorry.

[haikallp]

it's ok..

at least u comment nicely..

not like some idiots who just say' this phone sux!!' without giving a reason for it..

[ilenmike05]

is this phone worth buying for good camara quality?? wha phones hav wifi tha are not expensive??

[RyaanM123]

Samsung Jet Is Better Than This I Think, Has 5mp Camera But Is Just About As Gd As This Phone's 8mp Camera. Or You Could Go For The Omnia Lite :D

[09talamonteo]

does it come with a micro sd memory card.

[oveliam]

the sounds of that cellphone is loud? o not?

[ericosimaz]

I think the response of the video image displayed on the screen of mobile phone very slow. That does not happen with the camera phone's Nokia, the N95 for example. I wonder why?

[pugi050]

Nokia is just better quality product!  But this is still cool, I think I will get the Nokia 5800 though..

[paleteroman5567]

what is macro focus?

[MrFearzmanUK]

its for shooting really close-up e.g a flower petal or something...bare in mind u dont need flash on when using macro or to zoom either, just shoot as it is :)

[paleteroman5567]

ok, thanks

[cameronbailey]

close up mode

[cameronbailey]

Close ups

[chokeslammer4]

Is this phone more responsive than the viewty? Also does bad backlighting mean if someone stands infront of the sun and you take a picture, the photo is just a black figure? :(

[Habitashi]

i will get it today ^^

[MrRainMan77]

I hear this phone is coming to FIDO !

I'm gonna get it first!

[boardy3]

is this phone better than the nokia n95 8gb??

[carbonamigo]

yes it is

[J999ACK]

Yes, but I dont think this phone has wifi

[moysh12333344]

Am getting it on wednesday deliverd xD

[jojonakah]

i just bought it. its cool for now

[meshenm]

can you get mxit on the pixon

[marlo916]

does the innov8 have the same picture and video editing software since this is it's predecessor?

[SlowlyQuiq]

the only prob. is that it dose NOT have

wI-FI ... to bad ha :(

[marlo916]

QUESTION:

im looking at the full spec sheet of this phone on the samsung site, and it says it doesnt have caller ID..?? but it stores up to 2000 contact #s..? i dont get it.. will the name of a contact show up if they call or not?

[catkingpop]

Ya...of course the name of the contact will show up! ^_^ its a great phone!~ ^_^

[menan27]

cheers mate really appreciate it

[menan27]

should i buy a brand new samsung pixon for 195 or a brand new nokia 5800 for 185 SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY

[apple1notebook]

u should buy the pixon because the touchscreen is much better...

[DanXartz]

I jsut bought a brand new pixon for 3160 brand new off ebay :)

Unlocked

[davidcoady87]

i can drewl over the phones you have in the states sidekick and g1 and other good ones

[akriasan]

haha u flatter us the phones we have are nothing compared to whats over seas

[davidcoady87]

no you have better ones and like phones that you have that come out over here come out like mounths and mounths before they come out here

[akriasan]

the only thing we get in advance here is games and hell japan gets their games so ahead of time that by the time the first ad for it comes out in America a Japanese kid already beat it and is waiting for a sequel.XD

[generalgrievous777]

kick my feet up

cool dude

[nici94xD]

Can I ask something ?

Do you can set an password on your photos, messenges etc

[Sidewalkpeace]

In terms of audio output or general noise?

[strongyang]

Its a super duper phone. One thing Noah did not say; the screen of the pixon get scratch easily even your gentle with it. So you've gotta prepare for a few scratches here and there on this beauty. I know it as I got this beauty, and I treat it 'nicely' lol. Btw, its a fantastic phone( almost as responsive as the iphone ) I would strongly recommend this phone for anyone who love to record videos, and snap pics)

[ResetOriginal]

between the pixon and SE c905, which one would be better?.....from what i've heard the battery life is crap on this phone, but i just wanted some opinions on which of the two would be better, thank you.

[strongyang]

Pixon is better xp

[joe333halfevil]

i've had 4 c905's the've all broke in the same way (speaker stops working) so i just got it replaced with the pixon, much better :)

[redhammer999]

lol I have had 1 c905 where it broke in the same way 3 times (they never acctually fixed it though, speaker). So they are upgrading me to an M8800!

It will be arriving soon, cant wait.

[samrutherforddinoboy]

Same has happened to me, screen has gone, speaker gone for calls, buttons stopped working, just looking for others phones to get and this really caught my eye ! Is the phone realiable though? I dont want it breaking on me like the C905 did.....constantly

Thanks alot :)

[joe333halfevil]

yeah, much better, i really like this phone, nice to use, really attractive. has a lot of cool features. deffinatly worth getting.

[MrPh0t0grapher]

my question:

is the touchscreen as responsive as the iphone?

[wbi007]

I would say... Yes.

[isk8vanz]

does it have motion sensor so when you tilt screen flips

[MrPh0t0grapher]

yes it does

[Lewpacaveli]

yuh

[OAWALKER]

Does anyone one know if the touch screen has a harded glass screen or is it a soft screen

[empirekill]

soft because it wouldn't be a touch screen if it was glass

[OAWALKER]

are you sure beacuse most other phones has a glass screen

[empirekill]

im not sure but i think its soft because of the touch screen

[empirekill]

it's glass :P sorry

[jaswillrock]

no it doesn't have Wi-Fi, thats the only downfall possiblt about the Pixon. The Renoir of course does have Wi-Fi

[nagasaki999]

Does the Samsung Pixon M8800 have Wi-Fi???????? I'm just curious.

[OlafTheVillageIdiot]

The model I have does not support Wi-Fi but it does have Bluetooth.

[Macinabit]

N96 16GB or Pixon M8800?

[nagasaki999]

Go for the Pixon M8800 cuz its better than the N96 16GB the N96 has only a 5 megapixel while the pixon has a monster camera a wopping 8 mega pix camera. hope that my comment helped you.

[ghostlyhaunted]

I also agree.....

But the N96 is very bulky and big so id go with the pixon m8800

[Macinabit]

Very True. I have the N96 at the moment and it is a bit bulky. I think I may give the m8800 a whirl but what puts me off is the eye liner pen that comes with it. You have 2 choices: use the eye liner and scratch it to bits in your pocket or use your fingers and hope that the qwerty keyboard is big enough for ham hands!!. What do you think?

[Pr0nfessor]

Better wait for the Samsung Omnia HD

[masterpimps]

i am goin to buy this phone next week but i have question can i put msn and gps on it ?

plzz respond ty

[themanwithacam]

not msn, but you can put on GPS

[SerbianVozd]

How to instal games on this phone?

[connorell07]

If this fone had wi-fi I would have bought it

[purplehaze007]

its does have wi-fi its called the pixon M8900

[PEYIAKID]

Good vid and as I have just bought this phone in Cyprus it is brill to use, unfortunatly no internet conection in this part of the world, but great pictures and it betters my Nokia N75 but not by much!!

[ghossler]

how is the duration of the battery and how is the quality of the music that the phone produces? through the soundboxes?

[kitefrog]

the mic is Shit on the camcorder! I'll add a video reply. and then the original source that I filmed with my nokia. Crap. really crap!

[KurtSandford]

It is, i have the phone. Dont thumbs down him. Its actually terrible.

[lauris15151]

i think pixon is better than renoir

[iskra2121]

yea pixon is better but renoir have wifi.

[SeMiX075]

foking fool, why don't he make an panoramic picture of the buildings outside??

[viper1995]

stop trying to act badass, dude ur watching a phone review.

[RandomDirectors]

Great reply.

[AjpDns1200]

all they missed out of the phone when they made it was the wifi,, shame really

[id0ntc4reee]

i think whey will really not put the wifi to minimize the cost of the phone...since they are targeting mid range market

[SerbianVozd]

Which should i buy,pixon or renoir?First i wanted renoir because of xenon flash,but i saw that xenon on renoir is worse then some LED flashes....Now i don't know what to choose.....o.O Help!

[burn3tto]

im in the exact same position as you, renoir or pixon hmm, the feel of the renoir seems quite cheap, bu the features make up for it, ahh i dont fucking know, message me back if you have a breakthrough of what phone to choose!!!

[mJ01991]

I tried a renoir. The touchscreen isn't very sensitive. You need to exert a certain amount of pressure before it actually responds.

[sedzisuff1]

to nie pixon tylko cipson

[yaldar14]

nice phone but what about the color i read that have 256000 colors only but the n96 have 16000000 colors please advice me which is better between pixon & n96

[id0ntc4reee]

u cant tell the difference of 256k and 16m color.. its just the number,, i have a 6300 w/c has a 16m color.. and pixon...the color r same...

[donzaba]

great phone,but man u are such an idiot,u fucking noob

[WIOOY]

well its too late, ive got it now! lol

[slittherall]

how do i change the screensaver?

[paramergency]

Just ordered it as a replacement for my F490V.

Looks pretty decent :)

[FuriousJBA]

hey interested in buying this next month.... but im a bit too fussy about phones... is it better than the touch hd?

[limeball123]

Does it have a camera on the front of the phone?

And does have acceleramotor capabilities? (Like when you tilt it, does it react depending on what you are doing?)

[paice95]

yes to both questions

[mrcarterxxl]

im in love with this phone

[TanEmo]

brilliant review. purchasing mine tomorrow, conviced me to get it :)

[kristenc93]

theres no wifi?

[mariorupcic]

its the best phone on market, in my opinion. The only thing it lacks is wifi. But everything else there is, is just perfect. For example, omnia, renoir, htc hd touch are all touchscreens, but not as respondive as pixon or iphone is. theyre more of a press-screen. menu is perfect, perfect in txt messaging, perfect camera (except the flash) but when do u really use flash? In absolute dark. i almost never use flash on my real camera cuz most of times pictures look better with out it

[jaye102]

mine came today, yea boi.

[BoudewijnArndt]

Can someone tell me how to get my hotmail working on the samsung pixon?

[esmejie]

install opera mini

[torontont]

cant wait this phones coming out late Q1 in canada!!

[bizi131]

hey what do you think: Omnia or Pixon? PLEASE i really need to choose. I have Nokia N95 and i want new phone. Which is better?

[brvheavyhitter20]

wait for the nokie n97

[80amnesia]

never knew there was this phone... way better than omnia.. tomorrow... its mine ... muhhahhahah .. so geek!!

[keno8619]

better than omnia? lol? :D

[80amnesia]

just found ot there is no wifi!! that's the only issue, guess omnia is still the best

[tomhackett]

Getting this phone in around 14 hours time :P can't wait

[Macinabit]

how's the phone?

[tomhackett]

good... but the battery life is shiiiiit... if i use it for 3 hours straight it'll be pretty much flat

[Macinabit]

just as I thought. I looked at the size of the battery on the samsung web site and could not believe it was so small, you have just confirmed my thoughts. Thanks

[tomhackett]

I think it's the sales person's fault though.. she told me to charge it for 8 hours when i got home so i did... now i just read online you're supposed to charge it for 10-14 hours... so i undercharged it and it's their fault... i have it insured so im just gonna ask them for a new battery seeing as it's their fault... the battery should be ok when i get a new one lol

[Macinabit]

I only recently found out that any rechargeable battery should have "When new" 3 initial charge cycles. You fully charge it for 11 hours and let it or use it until it drains totally, do this for the first 3 charges this way the battery will always hold a very good charge and last much longer. There you go another useless bit of info but may help. I have an Omnia on ebay brand new and am looking to buy this pixon, is the video & Camera on par to Nokia N95 or better??. Stay safe

[tomhackett]

The video on the Pixon is intense... same goes for the still shots... with the still shots... partly press the capture button til it goes green then hold it... it stays so clear then snap the shot.. if u just press it down straight away it isnt as clear

thanks for the battery information.. im gonna get a new battery out of T-Mobile lol... ill do that charge cycle

[Macinabit]

OK thanks for the info, just wanted to make sure before I put my hand in my pocket!! Good luck with the battery.

[tomhackett]

They said it's just cos i use the GPS and Internet too much, plus the touch screen drains the batt. apparently :/ my bad i guess haha

[bonehead9545]

when is it coming to the usa and will it be 4 t-mobile

[sammmuelp]

this helped me a lot.

thank you

[ben18uk]

Great review, wasn't sure wether to get this phone but i'll be getting it next month now. Cheers mate.

[juicespirit]

samsung makes snazzy designed products, and makes people want to buy it every time. But.. (Big but) , anyone who has ever owned a samsung product will tell you, they always regret it!! low quality build, and over complex software (read slow operating times, even on there LCD Tv's it takes 5 seconds to change over to another channel).

[malon141]

whats teh face reconize shit ??

[saiyoke]

without wi-fi means you have to sign up a tariff with unlimited browsing.. Shit!!!

[mthompson23]

This was a really helpful review, cheers bud.

only thing though, what is the flash like? i hear it is poor.

you should make a short part three on a few peoples other queries.

[williamhutchon]

How do i video call on this phone?

[Zodion89]

Hi i might wanna buy this phone, to record a concert. is this any good? because there will be a lot of bass, dose it still sound good?

[chacha010]

Nope, I have it and love the phone, but i filmed durin a concert and it sounds all destorted. so a no no for concerts.

[Zodion89]

thx mate :) i realy dont know wich phone i should buy, to film a concert :p

[mizzysarah]

How long will the battery life last?

[Th0or]

just an LG viewty copy. same "eye-liner" pencil, samesteel back, same buttons on the side, same-ish side bar, just a little upgraded, and a upgraded camera and haptic feedback. nothing really new here.

and for gods sake, please don't say premium that much.

[1GotBalls]

oh just a "little" upgrade? um... 8mp camera? ye thats innovation son. no need to have an extra camera with u. thats a 2 in one deal right there

[Nackduck]

nice thanks :) I´m going to buy it today :D

[torontont]

This phone or the Xperia X1?

[melmaid]

oh...and one more thing...the battery life SUX!

[purpleusi]

TBH, I think the C905 might have the edge. I just bought my pixon yesterday and I'm already getting frustrated at the battery life. Plus, I agree that the interface isn't quite as streamlined as Sony ericsons. One thing I've noticed is that it does a load of things but only half heartidly. E.G. It would be nice if the drawing tool was slightly more advanced than just having a 16 colour pallet... loads of things to keep you occupied for about a week i think. Still think it looks pretty though!!

[melmaid]

overall i'd say that it's a pretty nice phone, for the camera of course. if you're looking for a camera phone that runs on touch screen and looks sleek, this is it.

but bottom line... i'm still a sony ericsson fan, they just have better user interface designs. things are more thought out. can't wait for a sony ericsson 8 megapixel camera touch screen phone. xperia looks nice, but they could have done more with the camera.

[melmaid]

- the touch screen is nice, fast, and reactive. there are though, certain applications that are clearly not programed for a touch screen. for example, to change the exposure level, you'd think that you can just slide that little bar around. but you can't. you'd have to tap on the + and - signs like if they were some buttons.

[melmaid]

- interface: the widget side is nice. i hope they'll release more widgets though. the menu side sucks... you can't change the themes... or at least put the background in black instead of white!

- the phone being marketed to more "visual" kind of people, you'd think that you'd be able to change the screen saver. well, you can't. i hate that yellow flower background. it sucks that you can't use your own images for the screen saver. or can you?

[melmaid]

i got this phone after seeing your review. thanks!

so here's my personal review:

- in the french market the phone comes with 3 different face plate covers, in black, purplish blue, and red. i guess that's the fashion approach to the french market. quite nice though.

- the camera is pretty decent. a little lacking in motion-capturing. the continuous shot function does not have clear pictures. is the sony ericsson c905 better?

[Willma]

What is the best between the Sony Ericsson C905 and The Samsung Pixon and finaly not least the LG Renoir. all three has 8mp cam..

But witch is the best?

could you reply asap and explain your answer

thanks you ...

[Danielbassplayer]

is this for t-mobile?

[mxmus08]

You really missed a great opportunity to showcase the phones features other than the camera and video capture. A good few people would be comparing this to the Omnia and, I for one would have liked to have seen how the phone actually operates - Style over substance, shame.

[videolijer]

He reminds me of Brucie from GTA 4. :')

Premium Executive Style Baby!

[mthompson23]

YES haha lol

[bbhebe]

OMG this phone is not that bad

[edison24latino]

the best is nokia n96, nokia aeon, samsung pixon m8800 yes of course

[ludabone]

Man I was so set on buying this phone but then I found out it has no wifi.

Now I have to buy a samsung omnia.

It would have been the perfect phone.

[yasser5000]

LG RENOIR is great great fhone so far.this samsung really SUCKS

[sinmilk]

i 4got gr8 vid btw =p also the renoirs sensitivity on the touch screen is CRAP the menu is also horrible!!! but the look is slightly better than the pixon, but still gettin that pixon!!! wooooooooo

[sinmilk]

its a beast of a fone and i am so gettin 1 next week!!!

[ziggyzagga1]

this mobile having a nice designe at the front,,

But the Back where the camera is Laying to is so F*cking Ugly!

Sony Erricson C905 has a cap For the camera that make its mutch nicer to see for

but for the rest is it nice .

[C8CBE]

hahaha I got that phone for free god bless orange!

[mthompson23]

haha so does anyone on a contract with any network. Dont worry your not that special lol

[C8CBE]

I think you find that most networks you have to pay 75 pound. even on contracted. so yeah I am special hahaha ;)

[mthompson23]

I pay £35 a month n that was optional jus cos i wanted unlimited data n internet n that so i cud of had it cheaper than that. anywho i consider anyone that has this phone special lol :)

[saspromovies]

i just upgraded my phone to this and i have to say i had high expectations for this phone and i can realy say that it blew me away there is not much more you would want a phone to do it does everything just wish i had the balls to remove the protective screen off of it hahahah

[badbenny2007]

i got this phone it cool but i when you lock it it just go to the same 7 pics i no how to change wall paper but how do i change the pic when i put it in hold mode (idle mode)

or cant u thx good job on vid and 1 more thing
