I cant seem to delete any file or download any file from the internet or even receive a file via bluetooth. It was not like that when I bought it. Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this problem?

  • Dear sir, I am using this type of mobile. Yet, when i try to connect it to internet, the result is negative. For your info, mine is prepaid celcom with gprs application. I wonder whether you could suggest solutions so that i can reset it accordingly. Thank you

  • ANDY - could you please email me directly about the warranty support issue? I am trying to get HW fixed from Canada, and am running into brick walls (the "not sold here" issue you noted earlier this year). Thanks!

  • A lot of features on this phone. I'll list some that I like, some that I don't. The FM radio reception is worse than my Nokia 6230, coz I can't receive my favourite station in my office. TV quality is also not very good in my work area. Overall, the sound volume is very quiet for some reason. I like the 2.1M camera, it is up to my expectation. The volume dial on the side is also useful. You can change the ring volume and the speaker volume with the same dial. For my English version Gsmart I, it comes with 2 1300mAh batteries, which is a bonus to me.

  • great phone! is it possible to install real one player on this device?if so, anyone could share it to us?

  • so sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy celll

  • Does anybody know how many internal memory g-Snart i has? It is not mentioned in the specs. Thanks.

  • I am thinking about getting the Gsmarti 64mb, as it is difficult to find any i128's. I was just wondering if anyone has used a stereo bluetooth headset while watching TV, are there any problems with using both BT and TV at the same time. Also, I am getting mixed reviews on the picture quality of the camera. What do you think of the camera, compared to other phones that you have used. I currently own a Tmobile SDA, had a moto MPX220 before that.

  • this is a great phone got it a few daya ago and know how to use it already (this is my first PDA phone) its a great phone and if your thinking about buying any other phone dont think about it!!!! its allround performance its great. BUY THIS PHONE

  • There is GPS system in this g-smart i, does it mean it support GPS?

  • Philippines is using NTSC M and I believe is going to work for you very well hence the TV system on the g-smart i is NTSC & PAL. Good luck

  • you can set your tv region to any of the following: sudan,qatar, zambia, singapore,seychelles.saudi arabia is using (secam b/g, pal b) depending on where you are in saudi arabia.

  • At last I managed to fix the TV program and I'm very pleased to see a DVD-like reception, sound is fantastic. It's only 3 days now that I am using this unit and even once I have not experienced yet any OS problem, or bugs problem and it works just perfect. This is really a perfect windows mobile for me. I agree that battery is draining considerably (but not that fast, for me it's ideal)that is the reason why there's spare battery. But overall I really love this phone. At the moment, I have no idea about its durability as I just got mine, but I think the same thing as the rest of the mobile phone around. The best thing we can do to last longer our unit is to take care of it, especially falling down on a hard surface. What I am exploring now is that "if possible to record the TV program while watching".

  • Is this unit normally comes with a TV Sytem both NTSC & PAL? I am planning to buy this unit but I'm afraid I will not be able to use its TV feature in the Philippines. Please let me know.

  • I just bought this unit yesterday here in Saudi Arabia and try to connect TV programmes but nothing is happening. Does anybody in this site who can help me tuning-in the TV? Under "Select Region" I choose Saudi Arabia but no available TV station is being searched. Please help - thanks.

  • I purchased the GSmart I thinking it was the 128. Long story short, I was pleased with the cell but the battery life was short. The 1300 Mah may be a better option in batteries. The main problem was that the Rom had Voice commander in it which made the cell quite dangerous. When you would ask it to phone a contact and there were several numbers for the same person, it would tell you that there are multiple numbers and you have to choose manualy. Finally got to Gigabyte and was told that this phone is not available in Canada. I bought it from a cell phone store!! They asked me to flash the rom and it did not work as i was flashing with the wrong rom. Now, the phone is frozen and will not flash and i have had to send it to Gigabyte for repairs. Wonder if this is covered by warantee.

  • Been a week now i have been using this phone and i can say i am still to find something bad to say about it.I practically tried everything and so far it is taking it fine.played mp3 and tried receiving call and no bugs.I also tried simultaniously mind you inputting songs to the phone while updating library and playing a song and amazingly it does not freeze nor does the song rattle while playing.Jammed the card up to 2 mbs and still nothing.Must have some 100 progs on it already.I can also put the music to play and then go and write somthing else or read an adobe file without any glitches.did not do any hard turn on or whatsoever.Jus thad to format it once though because i inputted some corrupt file that i could not completley get out but reboot was fast and now i just back up my things so if in the future something else happens like virus or something then it takes me around 30 seconds to put things back to new again.What can i say: i know a guy who bought a Nokia N91 a few days ago and thesdays he is learning new curses just to keep up with his swearing lexicon.Got five guys who are selling their N70 and collecting their doe to get this baby after seeing mine.I am actually convincing them to get some HTC orHP or something because i hate it now that other people will hve such a wonder to show off but so far no luck .For that price even they can't compete with what this offers

  • This phone is great Tv Tunner (yet to be seen in another phone without using Gprs or provider service) Radio GPS GPRS WIFI 2MPX cam Bluetooth Sensative Touch pad Small size easy to pocket Does not Freeze or Hang Touch pad Chamaleon phone mode(wont get that in other brands) Tons of other useful features. If it's not enough you can always download some more What else would you want?

  • The difference is pratcally nothing between the i smart and 128 model if not they make the 128 in black color too which looks damn fine.I bought this communicator a month ago now and i can say i am still not sorry.i bet if this phone was made by nokia or SE then they would be charging easily 1000$ for it and people would buy it for the name but probably if they made it then it would have symbian and it would freeze and make you think why the hell you bought it if not for the name but with this baby and windows mobile it is just a pleasure to work with.By the ay at 600$ it is just a bargain for what it offers if you consider The new Sony Eric W880 or Nokia n95 are going for higher than this and offer nothing to match the Gigabyte in features and performance.Hey like the product say stop being stupid and start being SMART....GIGABYTE SMART

  • Hi, does anyone know what�s the difference between this phone, and the other g-Smart i 128??

  • i've been waiting to buy this phone...but i read the manual and it said "user will not able to answer calls when GRPS or internet connection is active'.....is this for real???? hehehe but it's a good phone.

  • This phone sucks, it has a lot of great features but they aren't as good as you think so, the sound quality is really poor, i can't hear a thing and the pics it looks like i'm taking a picture with a vga camera phone, i have 1 month using it and i'm really disappointed

  • Just wait for the t600... Than we all will see who is N1!! Gigabyte rlz!!

  • This phone is like any other Window based mobile. Very simple to use as you have a pen/stylus and you can scroll easily. It has even MSN messenger so that you can use it fully on the go. I bought this in Cyprus and the TV is great. I have just got also optional the external antenna so I can watch free all TV channel without any trouble. The price of this is around CYP300 so around $600. It is the BEST phone that I ever got as it has literally everything. And, battery ok and signal good. What can I ask more? May be GPS & TV together!!

  • Hi, i want to get this phone, i think is a very good option. I have a cuestion.. is to dificult to write, use Microsoft word, send messages and things like that in this phone?

  • Hey Costas, your wish will be granted by Thursday afternoon!!! Few of those will be in our Central shop in Nicosia. You can contact one of our representatives to reserve. P.S.

  • The spec of this model are excellent. Forget 3G and this has EVERYTHING from TV, Radio, MP3, Answering Machine, Recording, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, MSN messenger, Camera 2.1 MPixel, Window 5.0, only 130 gr and 416 MHz Intel!! Come on bring this baby home to Cyprus!!

  • Well G-smart i128 and G-smart i are very similar except RAM. So how can so sure that if you are buying i128 and don't get mess up with just "i". Anyone know the difference?

  • Wow! its has really been d kind of phone have been waiting for. Is Gigabyte phone new in the world of phone, where has it been all this while, pls other mobile phone wake up..

  • i reaally appreciated it,but the only probs ihave about this device,is that just don't have 3g.if it had it was going to b a fascinating mobile handset. overall thanx to gigabyte phones.

  • What a blast! g-smart i is one mean mobile machine. I'm gonna get smart and get me one. End of discussion.

  • good phone!! after jasjar, this gave a complete satisfaction of being a good windows phone. TV tuner works well..overall good one!

  • Can somebody tell me the difference between G smart 120, G smart 128 and G smarti? To me there is no difference between them.

  • Hey other cell company wake up !! this one is real feature packed. Just where can we buy them?

  • Hmmmm.... Seems like largest PC Motherboard companies are also invading mobile market... last time it's ASUS and now it's Gigabyte, will there be ECS,Epox and red fox? but personally iprefer to ASUS motherboards nd even in mobiles...

  • this looks like a pretty good phone/pda is gigabyte new to the mobile industry or have they always been around just wondering????
