not so hot

As stated with all the comments above, over all ,the phone is great...
HOWEVER My FIRST one had a speaker malfunction, and the Second one had the same problem. I suppose my larger discontent is that qwest has not only discontinued the phone, but will not replace it or warrenty it because it was actually 2 weeks past warrenty.... yep.... only two weeks and they wouldn't honor it. I went by the addage that you get what you pay for .... not the case. I like the phone, BUT.... unfortunately if it doesn't work, then that settles it! kinda like: I got gas for 79 cents a gallon...I'm just out !!!

Great phone

I bought this phone for my sister as I have the A900 and love samsung. The file transfer is easy as 1-2-3 (btw you have to connect it to your PC, go to tools, select mass storage, connect to PC, then in your PC select my computer and find the phone in your list of drives, then just transfer as a copy and paste to the phone folder. This is the way to do it with my A900 and this phone as well. Slim small phone makes great for storage however i find i would break it quickly. great selection of ringtones little lame on the graphics side but downloads are wonderful things. expandable memory upto 1GB (something the A900 doesnt have) and bluetooth capabilities. Has everything youre looking for all in one for a really great price. I would definately recommend this phone

Nice phone, horrible docs & no driver

The SanDisk card that comes with the phone is an adapter so that you can transfer files from the micro card that comes with the phone. My laptop has a slot for SanDisks so it worked out great, at least we were able to transfer our videos and photos.

My biggest gripe is that the phone does not have a driver available but comes with the PC cable! Makes it impossible to back-up the address book or charge the phone using the USB cable. Add to this the really bad documentation...

There apparently is software for it on the main Samsung website, but it is in Korean and there is no option for selecting language.

On the plus side, the videos that this phone takes are great for a camera. I have used several cameras and this one gave the sharpest, cleanest video and with the SanDisk card (up to 512MB) some decent videos can be taken.
