best phone i have used sound wise. for that reason i've not upgraded yet. no other handset on the market comes close to audio playback both via head phones and speakers...
I love this phone, I've got it on orange but the person i have brought it from was probably on contract. Don't know to be honest but one damn of a phone!!!!
Could you tell me what if feels like in your front pocket?
I am considering buying this phone but i am not sure if it is just too big for me. Does it feel very large when its in your hand? And is the size a problem for you?
im on orange and im thinking about this , but i want to know what is the receiving sound like when making calls with the phone? . is it quiet,dim ..what?
Quick Question: Thinking of getting one of these, but I've noticed that Orange have their own modified firmware for these that features orange branding. Does this mean that if I buy the handset from orange it'll be running on older firmware?
I ask this because the newer firmware versions have corrected a lot of sound issues, and Id hate to have to void any warranty flashing the phones firmware myself
iPhone is so last year Now it's Samsung Omnia HD, Sony Ericsson Idou and Nokia N900 all which are better over all then the iPhone 3GS but I do admit iPhone does have some better features then those phones above but over all iPhone is so last year lol =)
I'm getting one of these delivered from orange on Thursday , upgrading from samsung toco. Can't wait and yeah thanks for the review. Nice one helped me make my mind up.
Firstly the HD video is amazing - superior to other phones and would make the iphone camera look like someone has filmed through a jar of vaseline. The sound issue is soon corrected by a new update that is a complete change of sound format (great news).
Downloadable widgets on this phone however are unavailable, as Orange are in the process of getting the rights for them. Real shame as we all want youtube and facebook app's.
Firstly I will say it has great video recording, sound is muffled but soon fixed with the latest update (complete sound format change fixes the problem).
Macro HD can be achieved if you look up how on the internet. Those that slate the HD on this handset are looking for a Sony HD camcorder - remember this is just a phone, and yes it is HD quality - though trnsferring to youtube seems to sometimes stutter videos - they are fine on the handset itself.
Symbian is fine, Android is still new and will probably be eclipsed soon by a newer OS. Symbian is a much wiser choice than Windows Mobile thats for sure, also did you know that right up until they stopped producing the N95, its was Nokia's best selling phone, Symbian OS is right behind Android, and is years old.
intresting phone btw...and yeah the phone is quite bigger then the iphone...i mean your talking about 3.7 inch touch screen compared to 3.5 inchs...looks good by the way...not really a samsung fan but its quite good
if anyone wants one hit me up with a message will sell to u guys only had it 2 weeks its a unwanted b day present as got a iphone 4

now i ask you (samsung), WHY oh why didn't you just make this with ANDROID instead of shittyshitty symbian? :P

yes and another unfortunate miss is that the HD recording is the WORST HD I've ever seen or heard.
