Slide Your Phone up slowly DO NOT SLIDE IT DOWN AGAIN -if you do it will go blank then you must remove the battery and then put a coin on those 3 connectors.. then wait a few minutes..then put the battery in again.. Sometimes sliding the phone down in the middle will also help to display an image....

  • Hi Inalox, i've been using G800 past 2.5 years.. im getting a problem on G 800 every 3 months i have the change the screen cable... once i changed the screen itself (at samsung service center)... Tired of this... do you have some solution that you can share to me?..Please help

  • Hi Ged... Ive been using G800 past 2.5 years.. im getting a problem on G 800 every 3 months i have the change the screen cable... once i changed the screen itself (at samsung service center)... Tired of this... do you have some solution that you can share to me?

  • I've had this phone for over 2 years with no problems so far. Eventually though all phones die and I'm sure this is discontinued now. Can anyone recommend an upgrade? It doesn't necessarily have to be a Samsung as long as it's easy to use an reliable. thanks

  • i used this phone for two yrs and was happy with it. the camera was the best. for great pics, use the SCENE mode. U knw thr is camera, scene and camcorder. once u on the scene mode u can choose a desired setup like nightmode, sport,etc. fireworks was my best option and u will c that the flash will not dim ur pics anymore. G800 is a good phone. bt now im using the incredible 12 megapixel sony ericsson satio...simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have 4gb microsd hc memory card and it works perfectly.

  • This is a great handset, and just need to know, besides the 1GB memory card that came with the phone, up to what size memory card can this G800 take? I've tried 8 & 16GB, and the phone don't read it. Can it maybe take 4GB?? Thank You

  • i am happy with my G800, so far is the best phone i have ever use.

  • Camera is great in all conditions (day and night), but you probably don't know how to use it properly.

  • So far I was using this handset last over 1 yr and working fine.But last month I faced a problem,while I was opened sliding instantly there was nothing in screen.Form service center they informed me I need to change the ribon(its a small 2 feet panel).Most common thing is camera isn't good enough as 5 mega pixel.

  • The camera is not good at night or low light**the flash makes the picture very dark***.. it is perfect when it's used to shoot in Neon light and sunlight...

  • my samsung g800 was working very well. however during the past few days the menu key and delete key for messages are no longer functioning. furthermore, when i phone i cannot hear the ringing tone or the person who replies. VERY STRANGE ! ANY IDEAS ?

  • I've had this phone for 2 years and was working perfect (though the camera wasn't good when it comes to shooting at dim light & the talktime is tooooo short).. Yesterday the whole screeen went blank and i cant' access to my logs or texts or anything at all.... :-( Thinking about buying Samsung S5233 Star Wifi Pink .. Anyone tried it?!

  • hello!! can any 1 tell me abt its camera result in room at night or in low light,,,plzzz reply me,, thnxxx!!

  • I've had the same phone for 2 years if you got the phone from a place that brings them in from anywhere outside of canada, the internet does not work, I know because my internet won't work and there's nothing that we can change in the phone that will make internet work

  • I had a similar problem with mine a year ago. I had to send it in for repair. A common problem with this phone...apparently.

  • i had this phone for about a year and then most of the keys stopped working.. i didnt drop it or anything.!?!?

  • I just got this phone and had it unlocked to use on the Rogers network in Canada. I have put in the network settings and everything seems to be working correctly except on thing. Whenever i try to download anything off the net like Facebook bookmark, or opera mini when i click on the download link, it says The requested page cannot be displayed. Is there a setting that needs to be change or is there another way to get these on the phone, i would like to be able to have google, gmail, facebook, etc easily accessable Thanks

  • oh ok. i thought there might be a solution now to it lol but as u told me that its a commun problem. anyways thanks a lot. do you know any good application for g800 to block sms messages? any free or cheaper one cause i know blackballer but that is not so cheap. so any help on that?thanks again

  • This is an all too common problem. It's been that way since I originally purchased the Samsung G800 2 years ago. It seems to work fine when you're transferring files one at a time, but this takes forever if you have a few music files, photos etc. Best thing to do would be to purchase a MicroSD card (2gb card on Play.com is just £5), and use a card reader to transfer properly. It literally took me about 30 seconds to transfer about 50 pictures which would have taken about an hour using PC Studio.

  • can anyone tell me a solution for pc studio for this gsm? i means i use samsung pc studio 3. it sometimes does not read the device. and sometimes it does but not for that long. i tried to experiment with it but still have the problem. thanks

  • please, how can I play continuous video clips, one after the other in one setting, with this phone?

  • that is propably a sim card error you have to ask your service provider to replace your sim card

  • I have had this phone now for more than 2 years,no complains. The phone merits its price.

  • its signal ic will be replaced by hardware repairing

  • Hi all, Can anyone help me out? Ive had my samsung G800 for over 2 years and has always worked fine. Now though it wont pick up a signal, just says No Service all the time. Have tried manually searching for the network but wont find any, let alone vodafone. Maybe the aerial is damaged? Recently spent a few weeks in the outback of australia so maybe the heat has killed it? Any ideas?

  • i adore my phone!!!!! best phone ever

  • Hi, Does anybody knows how to block a number on the G800? I would really like to know, as I have a picked up a sex pest who is sending me sms's 24/7. Anybody who can help? thanx nicole

  • I agree, I'm completely inlove with the camera.

  • Still inlove with my Samsung G800, from 2008 till to date. The only problem is that it won't store anything directly to my memory card.

  • my ph0one does not display on a screen i don't know problem it keep freezing. please help. G800

  • ya i loved this phone ..but also wasnt so happy about the pictures...the screen went balck as so many of u..the sound quality went bad and i had a problem with the keybad...all troubles possible after nearly 19 months ... very sad

  • 11 months old, the screen was not working. samsung repaired it replacing the cable. two months later, same problem. now out of warranty, so fighting to get them to fix it again. Definitely wont be getting another samsung.

  • I posted a comment on the 2009-05-09 13:50 about how I wasn�t sure if I was going to go back to use my D600. Well I didn�t. 7months on I�m using my D600 because the screen isn�t working on the G800. I had the cables and screen replaced about 3 months ago and now I can�t see anything on the screen. I love this phone and the camera is brilliant and really don�t want to change it but I�m going to have to as the screen is beyond repair. Anyone looking for a phone that is easy to use and has everything this is the phone, the battery life is short I was charging mine every day but then I changed the backlight settings and the phone charge can hold for 2-3days now. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with the screen and how it was repaired if it was repaired.

  • Unfortunately, use g800 many faults in a provocative and after being sent to a service center in the country in the Egyptian city of Alexandria is not responsible for the treatment of clients and returned phone after suffering with the Center for maintenance and is only a Vtlerp Qsberp Gad and to the same defect, a change Fallata I do not know, but I am regretful of money Hia Phone

  • I am using this fone for few days but its signals are very low all the time, means the signal power of this phone is not good. I jus wana ask that is it the problem with my fone specifically or its the prob in each n every set of this model

  • I'm using this set since last two years and still loving it. during the time i have noticed nothing to complain about any of the features provided in this. The only thing lacking is games and themes (samsung must think about it)All in all a grt set

  • What is the operating system of the phone? Symbian or windows mobile or does it have its own operating system?

  • Hey marius, go to camera mode, press that right softkey for the settings, scoll to MODE and choose SCENE, scoll down to your desired scene, e.g LANDSCAPE,TEXT, NIGHT MODE,FIREWORKS, SPORTS, DUSK etc. fireworks and text modes work wonders for me. gimme yr email addresss and i will send u the samples. by the way, the red lines on my screen are gone. i took the fone to Vodacare in DBN and they replaced the screen without charging me a cent

  • Going on 3 years now and cannot complain one bit.gr8 phone,just hope my new phone wil serve me just as good.

  • does this phone support flash lite?

  • hi...i had a problem with this phone after having it for a period of close to two years, it just went completley blank...apparently it was the LCD and contrast, but i managed to have it fixed after a long time. otherwise its a great phone to have but not quite happy with the photos unless when printed!

  • Hi Dimakatso, Deeza and Anonomous, i had a bad experience with my G800, The charger/ USB "plug" broke off from the Motherboard. The phone is still under warranty, yet Vodacom and Samsung refuses to replace the phone. Due to this, i will never ever buy any Samsung product again. Each of us has our own experience-one man's meat is another man's poison. Regards, J. B. B.

  • Dimakatso, I beg ti differ. I have been using this fone for the over 2.5 years nw. I must say this is a Brilliant fone by far, the camera is just to die for!!

  • after two years of using g800, i must say that it is splendid phone. I haven't had any problems with it so far. Camera is brilliant, optical zoom is great. I would recommend it to everyone!

  • this is not a gud phone

  • Hay,I just whanna knowe the g800, if I put an image as a whallpaper, shows it the whole image or just a small one and is the speaker volume loud and clear....Thanx.

  • No, it is not a good phone. Get something else instead. Mine was dissapointing from day one.

  • is dis gud...? answer pls.. bcoxs i want 2 buy it.

  • type in the browser then this will pick up the correct phone version

  • hey somebody could help me find a theme for this phone?

  • How do i get Opera mini browser that is compatible with this G800.I need it urgently

  • The phone was working good until it developed problems exactly round 1.2 years later.. Started with the screen, usb connectivity issues. And samsung service here is really really really bad. First they changed the cable ie the screen cable.. 2 months later cos of screen problems they changed it again... next time screen issue happened they changed the screen and cable too... forgot to mention as it was beyond a year i had to pay for all changes.... later i had issue with Bluetooth (A2DP)gets disconnected on call... whew makes me really think was this worth the money i spend on it 2 years ago... not to mention countless hours waiting at Samsung service center... Honest im not really happy with this phone.. though i've maintained it really well. :-(

  • how much is the g800 in the market now?

  • my wife bought me a G800 almost 2 year ago, and i never (i mean never) had a single problem with it. its a fine example of Samsung's engineering ingenuity. only thing i could possibly wish for is a brighter flash for night time photography. i bough my wife a Nokia 6500 slide, which is a nice phone as well, but would hang and automatically shut itself down now and then. i guess i'm the winner ;)

  • get someone to remove its countary code

  • To Wiseman, I believe you need to change the RIBBON or sometimes they call it FLEX cable of your phone. everytime you try to slide up/down your phone the RIBBON/FLEX gets thinner and thinner

  • Hi,i m a happy user of G800 but my camera button doesnt shoot,is any shortcut i can use to take photos?

  • My fone is not displaying on screene but I am recivieng call & I can not diall anything on it. I am realy need help

  • i think you'll find no mobile phone has an answering machine. Call your telco provider and ask them how to set up voicemail

  • Good evening Marius, Thanks for your reply. i spoke to Vodacare in Witbank and they told me that it was "beyond economical repair". Are you suggesting that i try Vodaworld in Midrand? Also, i did not damage the phone, i only used it as a modem, i.e i left it on my desk the whole time. Thanks and regards

  • Tuees: Go to einfo.co.nz they'll unlock your phone for a small fee ! Thanks

  • You need to get your phone unlocked in order to use it at your current residence as it is locked to the previous network that you were using before you moved to NewZealand! Hope this helps

  • I also have mine with short pcb, and service center told me that i shld purchase new one rather than repairing it, cost is almost the same when buying new one. hayzz

  • Hi, I bought a G800 cellphone and unforutnately I found there is no answering machine on it. I'll be so happy to hear anything about it. Are there any software to install?

  • hey james. i also have a g800. also in south africa... what problem do you have? i got mine on a vodacom top up315 in july last year... mine also fell out the car and the m0therboard did get some damage. vodaworld told me they can fix it for free. you can ask me anything if u want...

  • Hi, my handset charger broke, now the phone is "beyond econimical repair". i purchased the G800 in April 2008 on a contract plus i had to pay in R1200(+/- $180.00), a lot of money for a South African. Samsung S. A. says that it becuase of abuse, yet my phone has never been dropped or even scratched. Is there anyone out there with a similar problem?

  • Try removing the sim lock from the phones security settings, if that doesn't work, try upgrading your sim to 128 UMT!

  • xolani consult the manufacture of the phone sumsung on 011 5491500 they cn assist u wth yo password ok!akhona heled you.

  • Been using this phone for more than over a year now, and I had no problems with it at all ! Bad camera quality : NO ! :) Display's breaks easily : NO ! :) Software problems : None ! :) If this one is kaputt I'll just buy another :)

  • I'm very happy with the phone, I only have one problem, if I type a word in a message in normal text, for example (WMT in normal text instead of YOU in predictive text), it will always remember WMT as the primary word. How can I fix this?

  • I have a Samung G8OO witch i perchased in Australia while living there for a short time im now living in New Zealand my homeland,the problem that i have wit my phone is that it does not work in NZ i have put in an old NZ sim card in the phone but it just says incorrect sim is there any place i could take my phone to make changes to it, so it will funtion in NZ ,would appreciate the feed back .

  • I bought this phone early this year and i haven't had any problems with it. This phone has great features if you know how to use them, e.g. HSDPA and 5 megapixel Camera. You can hook it up to a PC/Laptop via USB cable and start surfing the net.

  • Hay there inalox... I got this phone... Really nice and all... But how do you get great photos from its camera? mine takes horibale photos... You can really see how the camera sucks when you upload it to your pc.... Plz help... So my english is bad...

  • I have been using this phone for over 9 months now, great device if you ask me, the only problem I have experienced with it was the flexi, it broke and the display stopped working. Luckily for me, I have a friend who repairs phones, and he fixed it for me for free, (having voided my guarantee, I couldn't take it back to my service provider)

  • Hi guys. I've been using this phone for about a year now and I had no problems with it. the camera is superb (fi you know how to use it) and the fitures are not that bad. But now i have noticed that the screen has gone all red, with some green lines, especially when watching videos. Anyone with the same problem, or solution?????

  • After a l0ng m0nths of using it, ths ph0ne g0t destr0yed.. The flex inside the ph0ne g0t easily br0ken.. Sucks... Too expensive to be repaired...

  • For those who own this phone. Do you experience any hanging up or lagging or freezing? pls answer. thanks.

  • I put a password in my phone to stop people going through it. I have forgotten my password and the phone is locked. Can anyone help me?

  • this is a very good phone the camera is wow and i am able to access the internet without any problem. but the problem is that you are not able to go main menu or even send an sms if there is a call.

  • how many gigabite. can you use in this fone?

  • guys this hotty stuff is now unavailable so stop dreaming about it

  • Hi.i have a samsung g800 mobile phone.in is a good phone,but it is too heavy and conflicted camera.the camera doesn't work well and in every situation needs its settings like saturation,sharpness,brightness,,,,,, the transfer speed between phone and pc is amazing.

  • Hey guys i think i am going to buy the samsung g800 but is it a good mobile i mean after 2 years or more doest it still work because i had a samsung mobile anf after 1.5 year the speaker stopped working and it doesn t switch on.Do all the features work after sometime that s all im asking thanks pls reply

  • I have had my G800 for almost a year now and would like to share my experiences with it. As for the camera. It is a much better camera than you will find in most cell phones. HOWEVER, it WILL NOT provide you the quality/crispness of a dedicated digital camera (even a lower end digicam). As for the phone and its features, I have found the Bluetooth functionality to be indispensable not only for transferring files, but its connection to a headset is great as well. Overall, I will say that it is a great phone with amazing build quality. My only gripes that I can think of are that the screen gets washed out in sunlight, and the inability to read incoming text messages while on a call. That last point has become a frustrating one to me. You can SEND messages while in a call, but you cannot read received messages while in a call. If you are looking for a great phone that takes better than average pictures, and has REAL bluetooth to computer connectivity then I would quickly recommend this phone. If you are a heavy texter then I would suggest that you look at other options. -Jeremy

  • I am planning also to buy this kind of unit. Guys can you please give us more details if this phone is worhty or it sucks.

  • hey guys i am using samsung g800 and it is a good phone. those who says it sucks, they must learn to use it maybe they do not know how to use it, it is for the clever people.

  • Hey Selinah. just try to set the network mode to GSM 900/1800 it should work. just go to settings, then network settings, then network mode. set it to GSM 900/1800 then restart the phone.

  • I've had my phone for about 14 months now. It was an exceptional instrument until recently when it recorded "No Service". At first I thought twas the service provider's fault, but only realised that the problem is with the instrument itself. I called Samsung Technologies and was advised to take it in because the network Card needs to be upgraded ... So be on the lookout. your network cards would need upgrading soon. otherwise this is the best phone I've ever had in my life. Unlike other phones, its battery life is incredible. I still charge the phone once a week, even after 14 months of use? I don't care what anybody says, this is the best phone ever!!!

  • Can anyone help me.. i have just been given this phone and it seems good, its second hand and was on vodafone but now its got an ornage sim card in. but i cant seem to send mms txts or use the internet????? any ideas? it says service unavailable?? what do i do?

  • Best phone ever, it looks awesome too! Only thing that could possibly make it perfect would be the addition of WLAN/Wi-Fi! that'd be awesome >

  • Great phone, i love the camera. This is one of those phones that you can use anytime, anywhere. You can express your emotions at any venue. Day-time and Night-time.

  • The best phone ever made by Samsung, has all the functions i need, has a excellent camera, that takes beautifull pictures even in the dark. Battery life excellent, charge it once every two weeks.I adore my phone and would not choose any other phone.

  • Probably your flex cable is broken you can get it on ebay.com for 5 dollars

  • I only charge my G800 twice a week, and the battery lasts even when playing music, sending files through Bluetooth, and everything, I am texting 24/7 and the battery lasts. In terms of hours I can�t actually tell you sorry, hope this helps.

  • heyy guyz pls can u tell me how is it's batterylife?????and can we download applications??????

  • The phone speaker is not working,i can hardly hear anything when someone calls. How can i fix this?

  • when the phone is slide down the keypad won't work.. atfirst, few keys wont work.. but afterwards, the all of the upper keys wont work if it slide down.. what do u think abt the phone's problem? tnx

  • The sound quality is fine on phonecalls. I'd give it 3 out of 5 when used as an MP3 player, but this is increased to 4 out of 5 when you use the headphones.

  • Can any one plz tell me how is the sound quality of samsung g800????

  • Have been more than content with this phone, the screen did however give problems after 6 months of having it but was fixed within 10 working days and havent had any problems since. It is a little larger in size than i expected but i have found it to be exceptionally durable and therefore not half as sensitive as most petite phones i have had in the past.

  • +ve The picture quality is great.But had issues with calender/appointment sync for biz use as limited number of entries are saved.Volume and speaker function is low. Also,software issues due to slide function and screen errors.The phone had to go for repairs after 3 months!

  • yes it has secondary camera

  • hi i'm faced with the same problem, can it be fixed, because i love the phone

  • wow...!! diz fon was amazing.. i want 2 buy it later..

  • Hi all, I brought this phone the other day, I�m not sure if I like it or not, the phone was built up (in other reviews) to be the best phone out. I have received it and don�t think the phone is excellent like I expected, I have gone from my Samsung D600 to the G800 and I�m seriously considering going back to the D600. The main problem is the phone is massive like a brick. If you are on pay as you go then every time you send a text and your credit is shown the phone makes a noise and does this even in silent mode the only way to stop it is if you change to contract. Also when the battery is dead it makes a noise and makes the noise in silent mode. If anyone has experienced this and knows how to stop please can you post it.

  • daah it has slider tone go to settings

  • this phone is so dizzy . the camera is like a badtha .now we cant vidoe rec the action in phoenix with the beer bottles lol owens and cheries i am 4rm phoenix woodview

  • i have a unit since february and haven't experience any problem regarding the unit. thanx for my fren bcoz he told me what to do regarding its pix problem.. correct settings is just needed.. its like ur using a digital camera. -maybe if i have 1 thought for a problem is.. hmm its not easy to upgrade the firmware.. service center in your area can do the thing. its complicated if you try. battery life at me is 5days with minimal phone calls and a session of text messaging. video call is tested and okay.. -oh i have a comment.. my unit, since 1st use.. didnt has any special letters like '�'.. is this normal as you buy the unit?

  • thanks jani i have in past with samsung d 900i for that my same coments.........thanks

  • This phone is total crap, lasted alright for the first few months untill the screen started to go dim and eventually started freezing then all the colour bled and was useless, around the same time the fone stopped charging, went into repair, all fixed but the battery wont last a day... and the phone just keeps freezing.. about the only useful thing for this phone will be a doorstop...

  • its really good cell phone, its best for taking pictures, its xeon flash just rockz,

  • why ..............it is a terrible phone please reply me fast actually i want to buy it please tell me it's defects..............

  • thanks

  • Y?use G800 surf website cant write chinese word ? ?can anyone knw it?

  • This is a terrible phone. the battery does not last longer than one day. I've sent this phone in for various repairs(Battery life short, not charging, display faulty). All of these were repaired except the battery life problem. My phone is going in again for repairs. This phone is like Shabir Shaik...it has spent more time in hospital than in my prison...I will never buy another Samsung phone. I will stick to the Nokia phones in future. The camera, btw, is not so good in low light conditions.

  • THe screen just stopd working and its too heavy.

  • The Samsung G800 is an amazing phone, my dad was the first to have it i liked it so i bought one too now my sister has one, the cameras exceptional 5MP 3x Optical zoom xenon flash face detection red eye reduction and more, the sounds doesnt go veeery loud but its OK, Has good menu, rare problems great design and good features. The only bad point is that its a bit chunky and doesnt support themes and slider tones. "Excellent Design" 9/10 Mobile24.com "Very Sleek Yet Very Handy" Mobilereview.com

  • Please can sumbody tell me how to increase volume/ringtone e-mail me on [email protected]

  • plz help users...does it have slider tone and themes? thanks a lot

  • I'm having a headaches figuring whether I should get Samsung G800 or SE G502, any opinion on which one is better? As in the comparison between their picture/video/camera quality, how often will they lack/malfunction and their appearance too. ^^ Thanks!

  • great thanks! :)

  • very very good phone i advice evry one to get it

  • Bad points are, heavy, poor signal and complicated to use!! only one good point is that its got a great camera.

  • I was very happy to wait 2 months, because they had to bring it from head office. Once received, i experienced it as a very heavy phone - but later on we connected. 6 months later my phone did not want to charge anymore. Send it in for repairs, 6 weeks later i received my phone which i thought was a little error of replacing the connection of the charger.Standing in the sun i saw technician fingerprint on my screen inside and my original cover did not fit because they changed the back as well. Was very upset because there was nothing wrong with my screen nor the back. My cover over the phone actually cracked afer a day. 2 months later my LCD screen said bye bye. So im not impressed with this phone...at all

  • samsung g800 is a very good phone, a wonderful camera, sound is not loud but it's ok it has a good quality.but the problem is its screen it gets dirty and i hate it I can't beleive that samsung made this mistake!!!

  • I want to knw how to adjust the volume

  • this cell is the most best in the world and the sound is poor

  • No it doesnt have navigation

  • greatest phone ever i used...as i have used allmost handset of N and E series of nokia. . . .great mobile. . .great looks. . . Great features

  • go to menu > settings > sound profile > tap normal, not the radio button itself. it will give you the options to put it on vibrate and ring. Good Luck

  • no navigation, but only mobile wit optical zooming as a digi cam

  • Camera quality is great (high quality optical zoom, face detection, xenon flash). You probably don't know how to use it!

  • my fm radio reception is very poor can anyome help with how to increase the quality

  • I agree to benjo...I bought G800 but its not good. Sounds is low only up to 14 vol. pictures is the same as 3 megapixel of nokia.

  • Does G800 support navigation ?

  • and also the volume is too low.how samsung made like this?5 megapixel.very expensive phone but there's many features not good like nokia.my cousin's phone is always in his cabinet.i told him to sell it.he bought $352.For me NOKIA is still the best.

  • i thought this phone is good.because the features,the looks,etc.but when my cousin bought this phone a week ago,he regret.because the camera especially the camera flash is not that good like other 5 megapixel.and even if you compare to 2-3 megapixel.when my cousin bought this,there is no games.so i installed many games in his samsung g800 like my nokia do.but samsung g800 can't read .sis,.jar,.swf.ohhh gosh!this phone is boring.my cousin want to return or trade nokia or ericsson but the store don't like already.

  • Hey all, i have this phone for close to a month now and i think its totally a great phone. i dont care what other say about it looking big ect, to me its stylish and does a pretty good job!

  • does anyone know how i can delete these ringtones which came with the phone? thenx

  • Kindly let me know how to put the phone on vibrate, i lost my phone manual.Thanks

  • Trev, u must b careful wit code given to ya.. research on them first, worse can happen!!!

  • I cannot take nice pictures at night. Can somebody direct me where to find the button to adjust the light and take better pictures. [email protected]

  • Hey I have this phone and it's really good...but i need to format it and install a new software so i can use web..anyone can tell me from where I can find.. Thanks

  • followed the instructions to increase vol on mp3 player,spot on it works

  • I tried this and wenever i key in 6 it doesnt work :S

  • Hi I managed to find the code to make the volume louder and it works!!! 1) Type *#0002*28346# 2) It will bring up a menu: [1] Load Params [2] Dump Params [3] Call Config 3) Press Back, and it will bring up another longer menu 4) Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu 5) Then key in 4 to bring up AV-QTune(MP3) menu 6) Key in 1 to bring up SPK MP3 Vol. menu 7) Key in 6 to change the max. volume 8) Input 40 and press OK, it will change to 4.0db default max. volume is -3db. I wouldn't recommend higher than 6.0db because the sound will distort, anything lower will be fine. 9) Once done, press cancel to close the service menu and try to play a mp3 with max. volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones and Message tones.

  • Hi, The Samsung G800 is a really nice phone but the volume is very soft, both for the ringtones and trying to hear. Is there a code to make it louder? pls e-mail me [email protected] thank you

  • Hey..if u wanna better upgrade just try samsung g810,this model also have 5mp autofocus,face detect. Xenon flash..even video rec vga at 26fps.. Camera as superb as n82 ones! Coz i have g810 n n82! Another g810 surprise : symbian s60 fp1 same as n82,tv-out,3.5mm jack,wi-fi,memory up to 32gb sdhc,big 1200mAh battery,2.6 inch screen,metal body..n it's cheaper than n82!

  • Had this phone for almost a yr now, havent had any problems. my only problem is the battery lasts all of one day. although most new phones are like that coz of all the features. Have to charge it every night. The camera is great, but nokia cameras of the same megapixels seam to be better. and its quite chunky, but all this considered, i still love the phone. easy to navigate, excellent large screen and good speakers for sound. recommended.

  • Just bought this phone on one a forum in Asia. At first i was a bit disappointed on the shutter speed of the phone when capturing but later on get a hang out of it by adjusting some of the settings.. Here in Philippines, the 3G connection of the phone is stable. Also, the speed is fast.. I think that may depend on the provider. The specifications of the phone may depend on the user's requirement. I bought this because of it's HSDPA compatibility and 3G connection speed.

  • id liked to buy this fone.. is it gud enough than n95?? help me pls..

  • There's a Reject list option for messages and calls. Just go to ur settings

  • hi guys i cant get my phone to zoom in when taking pics..and which button or where do I go to zoom in? and last nite could play my music and than I switched it off and on again and it worked. please someone help!!! [email protected]

  • Does anyone know if this phone can block text messages from certain numbers? I understand the G600 model can, but haven't been informed about this one. Thanks

  • I had this phone for about 2 weeks when one day it stopped getting reception completely. The next day it worked for a couple hrs and then stopped again. I sent it in and had the phones software resetted, tried the different band settings to no avail and i was told it was an antennae problem and i would have to sent it overseas to get it fixed. I went overseas and to my suprise, the phone worked perfectly in asia.. Does anyone know what would prevent it from working in the states, when it works perfectly in asia? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.. I had had this phone since march and have used it a total of 2 weeks.... sucks. Pls send me a email at [email protected]

  • hi could some one tell me hoe to get my volume to as lould as it can be i did do something but it never worked plz [email protected] thanks

  • You bought it based on looks? It looks like a giant shiney brick

  • Does anybody know the code to make the volume louder? email me at [email protected]

  • can you please tell me what is the code to set the sound higher

  • how do i choose to connect to my own wireless internet at home so i dont get charged alot by using the phone companys internet services.

  • Umm so you were pretty dissapointed with this phone. I think its pretty cool. It works... it turns on... it was deffinently better than my old phone. xoxo plz comment :)

  • I have this phone n have had it since August, unfortunately i mainly went on looks and yeah the camera, the camera is gr8 in daylight but a bit poor in darkness or wen the room is dull which is a down let. i really thought they wud b more to this phone but to be honest it's crap but thankfuly i didn't pay for it 269 pounds! i got it on contract n got my fella sony ericsson c902 n really wish i'd got that cos that is a better quality camera and has better stuff in it. don't get this phone, looks nice but is rubbish i can't w8 to get an upgrade, unfortunately that is nxt jan but am goin to buy samsung soul wen i get paid n shove this in the drawer!

  • Can anyone please let me know what the code is to make the Samsung G800 loader?!

  • the phone has a factory defect: the lcd's on most g800's devides the images into multiple segments. i'll be happy for your responded.

  • i just got this phone (G800), and im so disappointed with the volume, but i heard theres a code to make it loud, can anyone tell me how please. please email me at [email protected] thanks...

  • No, cant change themes here....

  • Hey Nany, any idea about any firm ware upgrades on the phone?? let me know at [email protected] thanks...

  • Hey can you let me know what were the problems you had on the phone?

  • i thought that it was a great phone!!!! so far i 've sent it for service 4 times in 7 months with different problems each time. don't bother by bying it.

  • it's crap...don't buy it. For one it's heavy, hard to sms ie/use the keypad. the volume is not very good (the person on the other end can't hear you very well). the camera is ok but i feel like i'm carrying a small brick around.

  • Mob is pretty good. Value for money(at least now). Photos are really good.. Needs some tweaking for better performance. Only setback is volume is bit less, however audio quality of FM/Mp3s played on the mob are good. Internet access has no problems, bluetooth performance is also good. No problems while reading external memory (Mine is 2 Gb). MP4 videos are something else - plays pretty good on the phone. Slider has no issues; i feel it could have been better if it was a bit more tougher(less of play). In short im happy. :-)

  • hey i also got the phone and its great!!!! but what is that code u put in for the speaker???? please email me on [email protected] hope to hear from u...

  • I have this phone almost for one year now. The battery life is still 3 days when talking all day long and navigating on Internet. If I use the media player than it is highly probably that the battery will last only one day. Other than that on a smooth use the battery might last up to 6 days. The pictures taken by the camera are great on daylight but kind of poor in the darkness...not too bad but not too great either. It is very solid built and looks very good. It is also very durable and I honestly recommand this phone. Another disadvantage might be the size, a liitle bit too big but then again...want a serios phone or 'girly' phone!? :)

  • iam using this phone for the last 1 year.. its very sleek superb. and the very good for usage as well.. go ahead

  • guys, i am thinking to buy this phone,but does this phone as great as its look? any disadvantages? i like to use my phone for internet as well.

  • my phn is only runnig at 234mps when connected 2 the internet.can somebody pls xplain how can i get hsdpa when connected to my pc.NB signal is not the problem in my area.thnx

  • i have this phone and i'm not really happy about this phone , i think that the phone cold be do more stuf and it's more a guys phone ! sow not for girls :-)

  • da fone is great!!! i had it now 4 2 months and everything is great! da camera is good for me even at night time and i did that little code to make your phone speakers louder and my phone is perfect now.

  • clapton for that.. it means that if you enter 123 it will be at 12.3, so 1st you need to press "0" that's for the top most setting. and enter "400" so it will be at 40.0! hehe..just try to scan it alittle more..by the way its just for test..so if u messed up sumthing..just restart the phone and it'l be back to normal (hopefully)=0

  • hi guys...unfortun8ly dnt knw yet how to make the sound setting permanent... that's just supposd to be for testing. =P ill try to explore it more further..im too busy with my n82 now. hehehe. really cool. check the application keynetik or rock n scroll n youtube..man so cool. it works for all symbian os w/ accelerometer only.. works like wii..

  • Wateva. U jst dnt knw hw to handle a gud fone. Loser

  • Hey AVOID THIS PHONE... New out the box... switched on, all fine, resume from standby and screen goes all weird and cannot be returned to normal unless you do a reset. Phone returned and swapped out for another handset... same problem. Returned second phone and asked MTN to test the replacement in the shop, SAME PROBLEM. Even while standing there another client has SAME screen issue. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

  • and why do the settings get lost after i switch off the phone pls answer to my questions im desperate to increase the mp3 volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

  • vhong, another problem im facing is when i exit the test mode the setting return to their defult state? WHAT IM I DOIN WRONG?????????????/

  • guys, the code does not work for my phone what im i supposed to do can someone explein me

  • ops.. typo. *impressive. hehehe. you can also adjust the numbers bro if its to loud for you. and yeah it seems that the speaker cnt handle the settings. put it in 30 or 35. havnt tried it though. but try using the settings for the earphone..damn will blow up your eardrums. hehehe.

  • to put it back to its default settings just reboot the phone dude...it works. cos the settings a gave is just for test. enjoy your phone. try out the n82 of nokia also..just got mine. it exceeded my expctation. perfect combo Carl Zeiss optics, xenon flash. pics are way better than our g800. still have my g800 coz i love the design. but features are really not that empressive. no wifi, camera if its your 1st 5mp cam then its good. but after you tried SE and nokia.. you'l forget about it. havnt tried the innov8 though..im expcting alot from it. cant wait to get my hand on it.

  • can the g800 change themes like the one on g800? thank you

  • Hw do i get da origanal settings 4 da volume bck on da g800,i tried dat code bt puts 2 much strain on my speaker

  • iv had this phone 4 three weeks. it has a lot of potential not considering camera which it pretty good considering its on a phone. if u dont like taking picture dont even think about this phone. personaly can live with this phone 4 anotha year until i upgrade to a safe nokia or omnia if the price goes down next year, because samsung dont seem to make very practical phones even tho beautiful

  • Jy moet dan n dud he, want myne werk perfek en het hom nou al sedert April 2008. My laaste nokia het my eindlose probleme geggee maar ek hou nog steeds van nokia and samsung. ek sien nie hoe jy probleme kan he met die modem nie, tensy jy dit nie reg installeer nie. want dit werk deur die foon, as jou modem nie werk nie, moet jou foon nie eens kan bel nie.

  • is there any application which allows g800's flash to be used as a torch? i found one for my K810.. im sure someone's written one for the g800 2! in return i will reveal how you can install java applications on the g800!

  • after youve done it just press the end button so it will be back on the main screen. and try listening to your mp3s...=P it works for me... goodjob soviet.

  • i was thinking of buying this samsung g 800 and i want to know does it have bluetooth??

  • I do not understand why this phone has many icons linked to the internet and no matter how you block the keypad it just remain functionnable. This matter cost me last month �73 on web surffing while I do not know that I accidentaly pressed the internet keypad. My network Tmobile were so nasty that they did not want to understand my claim. So guys be very careful with this phone as it may cost you more than you have paid for it

  • I have G800,can't hear loudly ring tone. Although it's camera has 5 mega pixel,unbelievable!!!But the style is quite nice!

  • can the 3g be put off? just curious. if so where is the setting for that? Thanks.

  • does it have navigator

  • why this pone do not have theme ?

  • Great phone. I have one. But... - No multitasking Java. - No english language in Java. Only my local language. (so I am unable to use opera) - Too silent ring - Indoors photos are shit.

  • i love my g800..great phone..i need it to be on silent alot and when i have it on silent and send a message it shows my balance and makes a beeping noise..does anyone know how to get rid of this beeping noise?

  • Dont go for the "to pc" option. You'll end up downloading .jad/.jar files. Go for "to mobile", and type in the provided link on your phone browser, and follow the instructions. EXAMPLE: for the game "5ud0ku" (from the list of free games), type in your phone browser. Also for you info, G800 supports java games, I have downloaded at least 15 of them from the mentioned website, and they all are working.

  • I think its a very nice phone... And the music player is crystal clear! had the phone for 5 months now.. Every 1 told me its a dumb phone.. Haha its an awsum phone! and only thing that sucks is that the 3g eats my battery and it cannot take themes. Camera is far from n82's performance... But i dont care.. Peace out g800 budies

  • it says the games are for g800 but the games are in .jar so it needs java and this phone doesnt play java games. thats whats disappointing about this phone

  • On the Outdoor Profile ,does it increase the incoming audio?Mine only rings louder.

  • How do i increase the sound/volume of g800? is there a code that will get me to the settings?

  • can we download themes into this phone?

  • how songs can be saved on the phone

  • well i think its a great fone but the battery life is not that great 4 me :( lol x

  • The following website has free games for G800. You need internet access on your phone to download and install the games.

  • nice idea of optical zoom. briliant picture quality, nice looks but lets face it, not going win awards for be a brick. too heavy and too bulky. i know its hard to fit all that hardware in a small shape. unfortunately you cant have optical zoom in a thin phone not possible.

  • The G800 is just what u nid to have. Some1 pliz hlp me, i cant seem to install the G800 software on my computer. It just wont work. Any ideas???

  • i m using this phone since last 4 months and found it good. you know all the good phones so far produced are somewhere lacking features but still we say thta they are good because of their overall features.the bad things of this phone are no themes, no games, no demo videos, no tempelates. among good things a 5MP camera, excellent reception, good net speed, good sound, good battery time, stylish look good FM radio and much more

  • A streak of incompleteness still visible in form of WiFi lacking. Please samsung, just add wifi to the perfect shape, features and incredible camera...

  • My quest for finding a complete phone ends here... i hope it wont disappoint me. i need, good camera. louder music playback. enuf battery life. and tough body. please somone tell me whose already using the phone, will it se fulfilling my desires. specially for music playback and camera battery relationship???

  • Great pictures already printed some it's a must have definetly

  • Blonde moment??? Can u personalise ringtones with music clips from the mp3 player. Mine sisn't allowing me to do it?

  • Blonde moment??? Can u personalise ringtones with music clips from the mp3 player. Mine sisn't allowing me to do it?

  • It has picture and video editing...had the phone since april i think its a great phone.

  • does this phone have picture editing?

  • taking pictures in the day is clear, but at night not so clear. Why is this, tried all the settings.

  • being using this phone for a while but cant find any games for it yet.can anyone kindly help me with the games.really appreciate it.Thanks

  • does this phone have pre installed games?

  • g800!! love.love camera! super clear camera... super user friendly + super affordable! your money won't be wasted... i promise!

  • This could have been a great phone if it had (1) a stronger flash, (2) a few built-in games and (3) games could be simply copied in the memory and playd. Those of you who used/using this phone knows what i'm talking about. Other than that its a good phone.

  • i don;t no the difference but the g400 is queit nice but if i had to choose i would go for the g800 instead.

  • Can someone please tel me if the samsung f210 is called the lipstick phone.

  • which is better g800 or g400?? they're both 5 mp camera, with both HSDPA, hmm.. what's the diff of the two phones?

  • I have had this phone now for about 2 weeks and it is great.. the looks of this phone is outstanding and the camera is awsome(in day light) although it may be quiet bulky i happen to like it. the speakers play music crisp and clear but the only thing is that it needs to be way louder. i don't even notice if it is ringing and forget about listening to your music. I dont no if its just my phone but its battery life is actual pretty goodwell better that what i thought. Overall this is the best phone i have ever had and not just because i got this fone for ONLY $200 unlocked from craigslist

  • I totally agree with you.Everything about G800 is just fabulous!!!

  • I have read what all the people are saying about this phone which some of it is not true i have had this phone since June nd i havent had any problem with this phone nothing what so ever.Everything about this phone is just fabulous.Most of the people who saw the phone from me have gone and bought the phone because of the features and the way it looks.

  • form wher can I down load games for G800

  • hey does this phone take a memorycard??

  • great phone and great camera.

  • thanks to your comments...well...this could still be my choice if ever...but still taking considerations of other phones..

  • thanks for the comments guys i was gonna upgrade to that phone wont anymore

  • I love this phone. The camera is good and the media player is also good. The only problem i don't like is that it is very thick and bulky.

  • i just bought g800, so far its good. but i was expecting too much from da fon which eventually discourages me. da camera is good but da media player is not so loud unlike other fons.

  • The company that I work for offered me and my colleagues a large list of phones to choose from.3 of us chose the Samsung G800. What a mistake as we encountered numerous problems with this phone. Within 2 weeks the 3 of us returned our phones to the service provider and changed them for another brand.

  • ei thanks...coz im planning to buy this phone in a few days...:)

  • hey me too i tested this phone actually i use it now it's not slow att all ... it was only because no memory card inserted as u mentioned thank u so much ....

  • i totally agree i have the phone in charcoal grey and it is awsome.

  • well i got this phone just a week ago and it is great its camera is pretty good and it is the nicest phone right now that i can think of. a few negatives is that there are no themes the music on the speaker isn't very loud but other than that i doNOT regret buying this phone it is wasome

  • Its very stylish and also the reception is good. but few problems which may be addressed like it has no themes, gemes format is not specified, pic quality is not better then a 3.2 mp camara etc but still its one of the best 3g mobile

  • but g600 has ccd camera chip which is much better then g800 cmos

  • each day that i spend with my g800 i fall more and more inlove with it i would rather spend the night with my g800 than my bf

  • Get from Singtel. It's free with a 2 year contract on any mobile plans.

  • Had the phone for 3 weeks and I found the speaker on the SAMSUNG G800 is very soft.(compared to my old D500) I am also having problems with the sync to my PC Calender, not all the appointments get stored as you can only have 100 appointments, so instead of giving you the option to only store appointments fo the next 2 months, it automatically stores only one appointment per day. Anyone know how to get around this?

  • Try to convert them to jad format

  • The g800 is better than the g600 because the g800 has 3x optical zoom + face detection etc....which the g600 does not have.

  • I bought the phone 4 months ago..Its perfect-good camera and battery life!

  • could some one tell me whats the different between th g800 and the g600 i know they look the same but really which one is better

  • guess you must have got a fake one, samsung is not that bad quality

  • try replacing the ribbon of your lcd...of you don't know how to change it...try going to the nearest cellphone repair shop...i'm sure the problem is the ribbon...bec...it is a slide phone

  • Hi guys! I've just bought myself the G800. I want to know the capacity of the phoe, memory - how good it is? I like to listen to music, i don't mind the volume of the phone, im just concerned about the memory and how many Gig bites it has?

  • I have tried uploading java (.jar) files from my PC onto the G800 but can't seem to install them. The phone tells me it's an unsupported file type. However, I am able to download these files from wap sites and the phone easily installs them. Any suggestions?

  • Hi, the sound of this phone is reaaly good- but not as loud as the Nokia N95. I've had this phone for about 8 months and love it :)

  • don't be to sure about sony my sons lcd went on his w880 and sony would not stand on, to the 2 year warranty. due to some loop hole they invented

  • Is the g800 faster then the k850i if used as a modem please reply

  • "How do you raise the volume?" It's simple if you wanna change the volume of you phone itself just click the button on its side. while for the alarms, message, call, etc you can change it when you set the alarm and as for the message or call you can change it in the profile

  • just got the phone today. very VERY disappointed. the internet is pathetic. 1/2 the speed of my old K850i

  • How do you raise the volume?

  • u can download programs to edit the configuration on the phone and raise the volume if u want loud music

  • i think its a very nice phone, i own one but one thing for sure the speaker no no no no ,there is no loud sound there!come on guys improve this!!!!!!!its a good and expensive phone but loud no no

  • I'm about to buy this phone... but can you get mxit on this phone

  • BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PHONE! I saw on the news a story about a man who was outside on a sunny day with this phone and the sun reflected off the phones super shiney surface and blinded the person next to him. Beware. On the plus side though, the phone is so fat and heavy (the perfect "brick" phone IMO) you could use it as a weapon, in case anyone tried to steal your handbag you could bonk them on the head and knock them out =)

  • i hv sonyericsson K800i and samsung G800, G800 better..

  • The n95 8gig is too good to compare wit the G800. but i think the regular N95 has less battery power then the G800.

  • I have both Nokia n95 8gb & Samsung g800..G800's lacks power when it comes to listening music via loud speakers compare to the n95 8gb (n95 8gb have very loud speakers)..If you scale it from 1-10 i will give the g800 a 5/10 & n95 8gb 10/10 when it comes to loud speaker performance "when listening to music".. By the way i also own a samsung d900 & u600, both of them to are louder than the g800's..If you want to find out go buy them or test them to the nearest dealers..

  • I have this cellphone since april 2008 and in 3 months of using this mobile i have noticed that its LCD started to blurred and later there is nothing that i can see in the screen. but still it can received text messages and calls. the problem is the LCD display. Its kinda disappointing coz i thought its good and durable, well at first its very handy and most of the time i used my phone as my modem to connect to the internet so far so good... until this day... I tried to do the master reset but it doesn't help anyway... the next time around i promised to my self when i bought a mobile phone i'll buy sony ericson or nokia (even if it is hot with viruses) as long as my display still working properly... This phone sucks...

  • This model has the lowest SAR rating (low radiation) so may be this is why is goes blank/dark when in stand-by. This is a good thing, buy yourself a watch if you need to know the time and save yourself from brain cancer.

  • Hi, just purchased a Samsung g800. Im having trouble installing or finding the WAP and MMS settings for fido in canada. Can anyone help? Thanks

  • Please answer my questions: 1. How is the camera picture quality and does it take pictures quickly without lagging? 2. How is the signal and reception?????????

  • I've had this phone eversince February and I think it's JUST okay. The camera is tremendous! The front camera sucks ass. You won't be able to video call unless your in the 3G area. I have T-mobile so that sucks. I've dropped it plentyful, on the road, sidewalk, tile floor, it still works. So if you're a person who often drops your phone, you'll be good with this phone.

  • GSM arena should update the review, I bought this G800 with the fear that's true about the memory card reading, so far it works normal with a 2GB card. It's not the best 5MP cam phone but it's sure the best slider phone I've ever used unlike my N95 8GB wich was a bit lose when I recieved it, this isn't. only drawback is that reception is kinda pain in the ass. I prefer a cheap nice looking phone with somewhat features rather than an expensive, nice looking phone with less features like the motorola v9

  • The best way is by downloading it, U should get unlimited data services. I know it's expensive but it's worth it, where I live I pay $22 for unlimited data

Mine works fine on U700, but the one from U700 also last only for a day. So, it means it is a problem with a device itself, not a battery. What can be done, please someone !!!

  • Everyone who's having problems with this phone, don't be scared to play around with it. I got one today and been on it since I got it. Everyone seems to say that they have a problem with getting the face detection feature working or they just can't find it. It's one of the options when you're in the camera. Just go in options and find it there. Come on people, explore the phone.

  • I found that this phone has 5mp camera with optical zoom and zenon flase.. does this phone can take picture as good as N82? And is the sound quality of this phone is clear and loud from loudspeaker and headset or not for music? and wat abt the battery backup??? And how much i have to pay for it? please.. let me know...

  • does this phone have a video calling. plz if you know answer

  • Does the colour of the phone fade? Which one is best, the Samsung g600 or g800?

  • A quick question please. My sister's inquiring something about this phone. We saw it's Triband on the net but on the other site ( welectronics.com ) it said that it's quadband. Which is true? Help please. Thank you.

  • Does this phone had a secondary camera on it for video calling? Even Samsung's official site didn't mentioned about the secondary camera. Upon viewing the photos of this phone, I've noticed that there is a small circle near the earpiece but I was confused if this is a light sensor or the secondary camera because none of the sites were saying that this phone has secondary cam. Badly need your opinion because I am planning to buy this phone. Thanks.

  • Its a good phone, I am using since one month. No problem; good for camera loving people.

  • I am very happy with this phone. My problem is I can't connect this phone to PC using its software. Also when connecting with other phones via Bluetooth, it is too slow. Make no mistake this phone is good. When fully charged, I once played music for 3hours non-stop and I still had all the bars of battery.

  • I love samsung fones and my z400 had the reject call feature and im claiming this fone but before i do,does this fone have that feature too??? mmm anyone???

  • Can anyone help install games for my Samsung g800?

  • Lucia girlfriend.. The phone comes in Titan Grey...

  • black also i thought... i orderd this mobile... really can't wait to have it

  • It probably depends on which network you're with (and whether they are 3G, 4G etc), and which network settings the phone is configured to. Where did you buy it from? If you get it from a dealer it will be configured to their network settings, so that even if you unlock it the 'net won't work with another provider until you configure it.

  • I work for a phone dealer, and I just sit there all day coveting this. Sure, the speaker may not be as loud as on a Nokia or an LG, but all the other features are to die for... and it's just so... chunky. :)

  • This is not a touched screen Phone

  • is this phone touch screen?

  • if you see features, fourth down, it says color. it lists titan(brownish bronze, i think) and grey.

  • i dunno how to get internet working on it it just keeps saying no servise

  • what color this it cum in

  • Looks Nice,Great camera as long as you dont try and use the flash,battery time awful,txt messaging painfully slow,cannot keep up with my fingers,freezes on incoming text message,far to complicated to send txt/make call,music player lacking in sound choice/EQ etc shame,makes a good noise when you slide the camera lens cover down. E mail me on [email protected] if you have any download info.

  • question: Wer can i get g800 games and applications... my phone is too boring... help me...

  • Edit the contact you wish to apply a ringtone to, scroll down till you get the musical notes (in my phone, the 3rd line below the email address), and you can choose a ringtone from the phone of the memory card (it will copy it to the phone)

  • great phone.. its really amazing.. it is suit for well educated people.. very elegant Go samsung..

  • I purchased this phone today. I have already discovered some faults with the software, whilst playing with the phone at work. The first fault is with the camera settings. When you initially powerup the phone and change the camera settings you are able to turn anti-shake on. When i powercycled the phone and checked the settings it was set to off. The anti-shake option is then greyed out and you are not able to scroll up on it. Also when you try and turn on 'wide dynamic range' and save it. It does not retain the setting. Factory reset does not solve the issue. The camera on this phone is ordinary. It does not perform well in low lights. As other have mentioned pictures taken looks ok when viewing it on the phone, as soon as you take the picture it turns out dark and blurry. The xenon flash also makes the item darker in low light or too bright close up. My previous 3.2M camera phones have taken better pictures! Hopefully i can get a replacement handset or an exchange first thing in the morning..... On the upside. I think this phone is not too bulky. It's just the right size, it fits well on one hand. easy to operate. It also looks professional.

  • I took out this phone on contract and believe me there is no better phone than this one, yes it is big but it is designed that way because it is a photographers choice phone.its camera is the best and the wide screen captures all that massive images. you go samsung....... G800 ROCKS. if you do not have a G800 make a plan...

  • Just got this phone the other day and i dont know how to make choose a song as my ringtone after i have customized it. Can some1 plz let me know..

  • I agree alot of Samsungs look cheap, I haven't ever been a big fan of them I'd rather go for a SE or Nokia... No one seems to have Samsungs where I am from... However the new touchscreen Samsung looks ok but I wouldn't buy it

  • this phone is nasty!!! its way toooooo big!!!!!! dont go for it if you like normal sized phones!! this phone is absoultly humungis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • under profile/option/edit/for ringging tone is strait forward, but for message choose change/use my alert tone, ch0ose the tone that you prefer.

  • you are joking isnt it?

  • its not so bad you should know that most samsung phones do not support themes its camera is the best i had g800 and n95 and k850 and the g800 camera got good marks in my experience also there are lots of programs for this phone maybe you didnt know where to go to find them

  • you mean, there's no theme for this phone? what the.....

  • i really hate this phone to the guts...i bought it for one weak to benfit from the 7.2 modem and it did not hok up at all .. there is no themes no programs and a set menue lay out TOOOOOOOOOOOO CHOPY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HEAVY very bad HAY PEOPLE DO NOT BUY IT

  • I have a G800 and its the best phone I ever had. I just seem to have a problem with the flash. It worked once or twice and now it does'nt work anymore. Also I cannot enable the anti shake and the wide dynamic range option. Does anyone know where I can get a decent manual for the camera feature?

  • hey. wantd to find out whether this phone is too bulky for a girl's hands. i wanna get it but if its too big to a point wher il get annoyd then il regret buying it. some one pls let me knw. thanks

  • when i take photos with my g800 it does not save them.how do i get to save them please help.Anyway itz a great phone best phone for samsung ever

  • I held one and it definetly resembled a brick. On the upside though I could see my reflection in it so it doubles as a mirror so i guess one less thing a girl has to carry in her bag. But why do guys like it i wonder... It seems very feminine to me

  • just touch and feel this phone.5 minutes are enough to find out the unbeatable design.its a piece of art.I LOVE IT.LOUD SPEAKERS ENENTUALLY FOR SAMSUNG,AND LARGE BUTTONS.i heard lots of people saying about size and weight of this phone.they are so wrong!!i just say these words...."get rid of sony ericsson mobiles".

  • HSDPA is just the speed of the internet... It's faster than 3G it has nothing to do with wifi... Wifi is wireless internet

  • its the best thing i've ever seen.........

  • I know most WiFis are blocked with passwords and you cannot use it unless you are in an unsecured spot (pls correct me if I am wrong) and you cannot connect your phone if it is on a secured spot because you always asked for a password. So HSPDA is the best because you can always use your phone with fast connection unlike WiFi, maybe you are paying HSPDA with this feature but you pay less because it is fast (HSPDA is available on a specific countries). So could you identify between the difference from Wifi and HSPDA?

  • its too bad they didnt put a wifi

  • sorry, but i dont have much knowledge about mobiles. How much does this microSD store up to?

  • I read on the interwebz that someone once had this phone and was using it outside on a very sunny day, and the sun reflected on its super shiney surface and blinded the person next to him. True story.

  • How good is the phone,cos i really want to buy one.

  • What's the point in having HSDPA 7.2Mbps when there is no Wifi. Most networks cost an arm and a leg to use internet, would be much more efficent to have wifi.

  • No it doesn't. The 810 has 802.11 b/g

  • no, this is not a smart phone. so it doesn't have wifi.

  • Read and you will see that it doesnt.

  • It is a decent phone. I liked the camera clarity and it is superb. Also some interedting things are available in this phone. Except the fact that it does not have WLAN, It is a awesome mobile.

  • I have just purchased a G800 and would like to know if its possible to have a different text tone to my ringtone, If so how is it done Thanks Peter

  • Anyone know if this has wifi ?

  • i have a Samsung G800 it is a really good phone especialy the camera and they cost around 300 pound

  • Hi, see my brief review dated 26 May 2008. Its a decent phone from Samsung if you want 3G, and a powerful & handy digital camera. But its NOT a smartphone. You cant install symbian apps.

  • Hi I wat to buy this phone, but don't konw if it is any good? What are the problems with the phone? Please reply thanx

  • And the word isn't franchised, its called DIVISION. Try www.sonyericsson.co.jp and tell me that SE phones are imported from japan ok!

  • omg pastor you just don't get it do you now? Hmmm considering you have your degree in economics I'm sure that you can understand how different without even adding on what network japanese SE phones are compared to euro SE phones. SE Euro and SE japan operate DIFFERENTLY!!!! My point is that these SE phones are nowhere to be called japanese phones! They ARE NOT even to begin with standard cellphones in japan. You are literally killing me with your ignorance and by the way I'm a freaking computer engineering in MIT so don't bother

  • Had this phone for 'bout 3 months now. Tried to get rid of it, provider wouldn't take it back. I have not managed to take a single decent photo with it. Tried all profiles and settings to no avail. Flash is useless. Most camera settings do not stick between sessions: turn it off, and you have to re-set it again. Not a 7.2 HSDPA as advertised, but only 3.6--and very lousy at that too (Samsung should be sued for false advertising). All in all, a complete disaster. Stay away from it, stay away from Samsung.

  • I also hate the phone. The picture quality is not good. Phones with only 1mp takes better pics than my 5mp. The flash makes the pics dark. The flash go's off and a second later the shutter to take the photo. I have tried everything to change it. Photos are blurry. Don't take it!!!!!

  • Samsung G800 brief review 1- This is the first time I ventured our of the Nokia phones and I must say I am quite delighted to own a G800. 1. Menus are fast and responsive. Not sluggish like symbian powered phones. Not sure what custom OS G800 is running. 2. Voice clarity. Good volume controls. You can even take Memo notes while your friends tell you about "where-to-reach-for-the-party-tonight" 3. Messaging in legible and easy. T9 mode is a breeze. I must say I found it better than Nokia . Seems intuitive enough. 4. Call log is very useful. You can known exactly how many times your uncle called you in past 2 weeks. 5. Camera 5Mp is very responsive and decent results . However as with all mobile cameras, low light spoils the show. Video recording is remarkable. Its a full fledged digital camera. (more on that in later reviews) 6. Internet browser from Netfront is a ROCK. It just wont crash !. Surfed at Edge speeds with ease. The browser smartly reconstructs web pages to fit your mobile screen. (more on that in later reviews) 7. FM radio is very good reception. 8. Music player is decent. Good audio quality. Headphone however are not standard interface :( 9. Exclusive menu for GOOGLE search! 10. Bluetooth (more on this in later reviews.) is power packed. Almost all profiles supported. 11. Security - Mobile tracker. (more on this later), phone lock (cool), You can lock your files, messages, even call log! Overall I am excited about this phone. My rating is 8.5/10. ----Wait for my next update .

  • anybody seen this issue on G800 : You get message from known contact in address book, say "john". check message, it detects sender is "john". No problem so far. Switch off and switch on your phone, and go to messaging application-->Inbox. Only "john"'s mobile no. is displayed and name is no more displayed. also, No way of deleting "delivery receipts"?? automatically. You need to search of '0B' messages.

  • In edit mode, long press '#' key and then press 8 for select underscore char. Enjoy.

  • Press and hold the # button (for about 3 seconds). A menu comes up and oyu can select the symbol that you want to us.

  • Worst phone ever. WAY too fat and WAY too shiney. This is the perfect example of a brick. Way to go Samsung, lets step back 10 years and make a giant fat phone no one can fit in their pockets

  • hi all i'm satisfied with my g800 and its properties except battery talk time. its awful and very short. what can i do? (my provider does not support 3g network so it is off!!) even i dont take pictures not to short talk time but ....! could anyone help me about that?

  • Hi all. Pleaseeeee help. The bottom screen 2 icons-message n GPRS - can they be changed to what I want? I am from Asia. Appreciate much.

  • Kindly help, how do I change the GPRS button on bottom right of screen to somewhere. The 2 icons on the lower screen,Can I change to what I want. I did read that it can be done. I m in Asia. appreciate much your time . cheers

  • Advantage: 1. Louder Loudspeaker Volume 2. Good Battery Life, Standby and talk time 3. Good Design, Very Firm, Looks Professional 4. Good Features that they provide, (locking system and Phone tracer) 5. 5mp camera is Superb, at dark corners, blitz may not be recommended to be used, as the final photo would be darker. 6. Good responds. Disadvantage: 1. Bulky. 2. Keypad 1, 2, 3 is difficult to press due to big finger tips. (different users may vary) 3. Usually Hangs (different users may vary due to phone providers) 4. With keypad tones activated, phone performance dropped. 5. During 3G conference, loudspeaker gave away, unless you are indoor. I would give 8/10 ^^, Enjoy guys

  • sony ericsson japan and sony ericsson in europe are totally two different division and do not correlate. se japan is EXCLUSIVELY for japan only while se europe is what producing our phones so sorry to disappoint you I'm so sorry but i really pity you

  • I have started using this phone on Tuesday. This is hell of good phone! 5 megapixel camera, what more can I ask for. I don't need a digital camera anymore, i have it with me. Another thing is that it never gave me problems connecting to internet, I use it as a modem on my Pc to connect to internet. I just wish they could also do Apple mac CD roms too, some of us are in love with Mac. But generally I am happy with the phone so far! Bareng

  • Absolutely love the phone so far, can't stop looking at it haha. The biggest issue for me is the short battery life. I usually have to charge it every two days and i don't even use it that much. Also, when it hits one bar of battery left - i usually have to turn the phone off because if i leave it on for another hour, it most likely run out of batteries as it has done before

  • To Sunny Sounds to me you have a faulty phone, 1) The camera is not that great If you learn how to use it properly it's a Fantastic camera 2) Battery life is only two days Mine lasts a Week and I'm above average user 3) Calender only stores 50 birthdays/anniversaries (which is ridiculous) I've never ran out of Memory so 50 must be enough for me 4) When you restart the phone the redial list shows the numbers and not names of the contacts Not on mine it doesn't, Always shows the name, Can see the number if you want though

  • Few things that u need to know before u buy the phone 1) The camera is not that great 2) Battery life is only two days 3) Calender only stores 50 birthdays/anniversaries (which is ridiculous) 4) When you restart the phone the redial list shows the numbers and not names of the contacts

  • To YourHand A quick answer to both your questions is You Cant and You Cant The Long answer is Q1/ How do u put games inside A1/ With all samsung phones, The Java platform is disabled so you can only add bought Games, ie, |From Wap pages. Q2/ how to change the left and right soft keys assignments?? Mine is set to `Message' and 'Internet'. I've seen phone reviews with `Menu' and `Contacts A2/ Sim free Samsungs have "Menu' and `Contacts" where as Network branded (for example Vodafone) Samsungs usually have the right soft-key as Internet, (Vodafones case is V-Live) Hope this Helps.

  • i don't have time to read all the opinions but i would like a quick answer. is this phone like all samsung phones? i mean...when someone calls you it rings low in the beginning and after that it goes louder? please i need an answer.

  • got this phone bout a week ago and it's great!! a few issues though. How do u put games inside and how to change the left and right soft keys assignments??

  • Make it play louder by pressing the little slide thing on the top, it goes quite loud but it's never going to be a ghetto blaster due to speaker size!

  • I just got this phone 4 days ago and am really liking it so far, its not the smallest I've ever had but I knew that before I chose it. Chose it mainly for the camera and the music player. which is excellent. camera zoom very good and great picture qual. with built in editing options! Its easy to use and sleek to hold. I've only got average size petite ladies hands and have no probs texting one handed as with prev smaller phones. Big screen very clear, easy to follow menus and good sound quality. so yes, i am very please with it so far.

  • How can i make the G800 play louder pls help

  • I got this phone last week, and I love it. My main thing with buying another samsung was not being able to change the message alert tone. Samsungs other phones the tones suck. But I read on here this phone can be change and I bought it. Yeah its a bit bulky I am used to little phones, but I have no problems with the features I like it alot. But does anyone no how to remove the text on the screan. I know normally with all samsungs you can. The text im talking about is the networks name. I hate it!

  • Have u ever had any camera?face detection is for camera to show u the face of who u will take a shot.by a square around any face it will show u the face.high end camera like Canon has this technology and samsung phone also has this.

  • does any1 know what this face detection is??

  • yes,excel and word are supported,you can even see powerpoint on it,i tested myself

  • Does the G800 really support Word & Excel?I've checked on google and nowhere does it mention that it supports viewing of Word & Excel.Please assist urgently.Thnx.

  • you can set the ringtone to melody only/ringtone and vibration/vibrate and ring/or vibrate only. and yes you can use mp3 tones as text message alerts.

  • hi. i intend on gettign this phone this week-end. i just want to knw if i am able to asign a ringtone as my msg alert? and how good is the sound quality on the phone? because the current crap samsung i have is so soft.... if anyone can please assist me on these i would be most greatfull. i dotn want to bind myself witha 2yr contract with a phone that is not very good. thank you...

  • andy alix to alex- yes the phone does have vibrate and ring at the same time to alix- the pros of this phone is that it is very stylish. 3x optical zoom. 5 mp camera. very large screen. you can used secondary camera to take pictues. cons are that the phone is too thick. the camera picture quality is lower when you take a photo with flash. very laggy. and thats about it. its a very nice phone. i recomend you go for it

  • Im thinking about getting the Samsung however not sure if it is worth it, Ive just taken my SE K850 i bakc twice and am sick of it breaking, it wouldnt let me into any of my msgs, and it started turning itself off, and the lens sometimes wouldn't open after turning the camera on. I suggest you don't get the SE K850i. Apparently they have had problems with it before. Can anyone tell me about the Samsung though?? the ins and outs? cons and pros? Thanks

  • indeed this phone supports 4gb microSD memory card.

  • Does this phone vibe and ring at the same time?? Have an old samsung that vibes first then rings. Its annoying? Can anyone please help?

  • is the camera really that good? there are still people saying that k850i pictures are nicer. So which is true?

  • i just got this phone today. i love it. even though i havent used it much. bud thing about it is that its a triband phone. and when you take a picture with flash. it lowers the quality of the picture. but overall this phone is great! i recondmend it ot everyone

  • what is the Main disadvantages of SAMSUNG G800? because i gonna to buy it and may i change my mind of it and buy another one then what is the Main disadvantages?

  • on this phone you can not turn off t9 and nobody can not find you on bluetooth,but phone look is very good.i think that k850 is beter.speaker is very weak.

  • just got this phone today. had it for 6 hours now. very happy so far. i was expecting a brick but it turns out to be a very good size. very slim. feels solid when you hold it. so i think it has at least 10 drops in it before breaking.. menu is easy to navigate. phone mode is great. loud and clear. speakers ok. camera. very good. flash is great. took some photos in the basement and turns out very well. didnt change any settings. everything was auto.. I can definately see the difference 2 mega pixel makes comparing the pix to the ones i took with my old phone. "k800i, which was very good till the fifth drop. which killed it. and sand gets in to the external ports if you take it to the beach." i have not charged the batery. it was factory charge?? had about five 10mins calls, play around with it for a few hours. took over 100 photos. the batery is still on full. maybe it will last forever??? without a charge. my conclusion. this phone is great. if you want somthing that: make calls, texts. take nice club pics for facebook uploads and shit, with out having to carry a digital camera around. thats what i want and thats what made me bought it.. maybe its good as an mp3 player too but i didnt get earphones with it. gotta buy that sht.. yeah. good phone. mine came with a free 2gig generic mem card.

  • I am tossing between the G800 and SE k850i. I want a phone that's stylish and has good battery life in it. The G800 probably beats the K850i in looks but i dont know bout the battery. Can someone tell me which fone is better for battery life? Email please!

  • this phone has the best camera on the market!!!i LOVE this phone!!!

  • in my opinion as a photographer, this is a good camera. nice idea of optical. but the shutter lag is a big let down. shame as this would of made a perfect camera phone. so i would get K850i. ok you lose face detection and optical zoom. but the picture is no different and no shutter lag, makes the K850i my choice.

  • what the fk is the differece between the G800 and G810? is G810 better? if i get the G800 will i be wanting the G810? and is the talk time really 3 and a half hours? thats pretty crap.. G800 or K850i? what should i get?

  • Its normal for pictures to come dark after the flash, my 10 mp camera does the same thing and so did all the other cameras ive tried.

  • The camera on this phone is great. The flash is excellent and absolutely bright. The pictures rarely get blurred and i have not yet experienced any problems with this phone and ive had it for 3 months now

  • Hi, is that anyone please tell me the quality of the Camera? Cos I am using D900i now, and the camera is a bit slow. Not sure if the G series have been upgraded. Thanks for any reply. Cheers

  • I'm looking for a phone that must help me with easy navigation in the cities. Will this phone be able to give me that ?

  • Might be worthy to add it also comes in a charcoal black colour, got one myself in Australia.

  • im using 2Gb and so far its working fine, i wonder if it will have the same performance with a 4GB?

  • where to download games?

  • Can any one tell me What is its SMS memory? Some Cell like D600 got slower with 1GB memory card. I want to ask how its works with full loaded 3GB memory card.

  • I really regret buying this phone cos i can't download alot of things and so called *5MP* is not so clear and shape.

  • can this unit handle a 4GB mc? additional comment, under good lighting conditions camera is quite impressive ! :)

  • keypads are very very very stiff!!!!! make its hard for me to finish a single message okay now im trying to bear that. My Concern is when i take a shot in a low light area with the Flash ON, it suddenly turns out all dark after .. even worst without having the flash. This happens except when you have an object protuded a person whatsoever but everything behind turns all black and the object is the only thing seen in light. The bad thing about it is when you try to picture a room or a lanscape view you wont see anything. Light effects is very black and white. Can anyone assist with the settings? Have tried to change it a bit but indeed it doesnt take effect or gets even worst. Help =)

  • The phone was too chunky and the picture quality was quite bad, even though I kept changing the settings it made little to no difference so I sent it back. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this phone but that's just my opinion.

  • i am looking for a new phone please tell me the truth how much does it suck please help i cant buy another lemon

  • fantastic phone only problem is T9 texting grr

  • I have to choose between the Sony Ericsson k850 and the Samsung G800 to upgrade to. Which is the better CAMERA phone?(referring only to camera and video quality) please reply with any reviews. From what I heard so far it appears the SE is better but i need more info.

  • blurry indoors may mean the exposure time is to long due to lack of light, you need turn "flash" on

  • i just got the phone but i can not open the slide where i put the sim and battery. someone help befor i knock this damn thing on the wall

  • is this heavyweight machine able to minimize games, mx!t, and other apps? please e-mail me..

  • I think this is a very good phone apart from the camera quality considering it is suppose to be a 5mp, I think its more like a 2mg one, I have looked at other 5 mg ones and they are far better in this feature. Iam really glad samsung have finally allowed you to change the message tone on the phone without having to keep the boring stored phone ones

  • Hi, I am looking at getting this phone, but i am not sure about it as i havent had a Samsung phone before. Any advice? also, one thing that bugs me about my SE is the text message storage. it only hold like 180 texts or something and i am constantly being told to delete messages!! i have had phones in the past that hold like 400 texts. Can anyone tell me first - where texts are stored in the inbox (internal memory.sim memory) and secondly - does the G800 hold many texts? Thanks Heaps!

  • everytime i am about to take a picture indoors it appears fine on the screen . as soon as i click it it turns dark and blurry. Please help on the settings

  • its the lousiest camera phone. im sorry. i had 1 of this but i gave it to my friend coz i dont want to use it. what a waste.

  • Can anyone please tell me as to how to change the skin of menu...etc from Black to anything else. I have been trying for the past 4-5 hours to look for that option and the black color is making me go nuts.

  • i love this phn, the camera is osam with 5 mp

  • Hi, I just bought this phone and had a few questions? 1) What is the ideal camera settings for indoor and outdoor mode / day/night? The images taken from my phone are quite blurry? Can someone please tell me what should be the configuration? 2) Is there is better software to trasnfer files other than the samsung pc suite that came with the phone? becuase during transfer from the pc to the phone the transer would keep hanging. 3) Does the calander store only 50 anniversaries?

  • its good..but where can i download games for samsung g800...tnx..

  • Hi, this is a great phone, it has video calling,a large screen which i love cause i like taking lots of pictures and the camera is outstanding, well done samsung :)

  • guys tell me the phone is 3G but does it have video calling?

  • Hi ,I am looking at getting the Samsung G 800. How user friendly is the phone. Mary Anne South Africa

  • hy,i just trade my lg prada for samsung g800,and i can say that is a great phone,u got everything with g800( looks,quality photo, very good mp3 player) but the battery is f@cked up,only 2 day being used and tacking few pics! hope nokia n82 will have a better battery couse i intend to get one

  • ok, i got this phone yesterday, it looks very sexy, but is kinda hard to slide open because of its sheer size. however, for this small package, the features you get are well worth it. it doesnt look like it would take a lot of abuse, but if you're careful with it, should be fine. i owned a samsung F300, and a D500 before that, and the screen is amazing. speakerphone could be a little bit louder tho. texting is a breeze, with a big screen and big buttons. the only bad thing that i've noticed so far is that you cant change the idle screen soft buttons, which really pisses me off bcuz i dont want a shortcut to the messages

  • how can i turn off T9??? because everytime i get in the message it appear again...??? heeeeeelpp

  • Most networks don't even support 7.2 mbs yet so it theoretical at this point! It does support it but you might have to wait a year or more for them to upgrade. Most networks might skip this upgrade altogether and go straight to the 3.9 G standard at 20 mhz. SO don't buy this phone for the 7.2 HSDPA, its academic and you will never achieve this speed in the real world.

  • Dose anyone now what is the best phone oporator for this phone EG. *more games *more ringtones *more memory *better signal *more wallpaper& screensavers (how many wallpapers or screensavers r there in this phone) if any could tell me i would be grat full or even tell me more about this phone thanks :)

  • how long do you need to charge the phone for the initial battery charging?

  • Somebody tell me please, once and for all, is this a 7.2 Mbps HSDPA-capable phone, or is it only 3.6 Mbps? Knowing that it is 7.2 is the only thing that keeps me from returning it. All official documentation I've seen lists it as 7.2-capable, though I've heard rumors that say otherwise.

  • Does this samsung use the two sided earplugs headset or the one sided one?

  • i got this phone gift from my bf and yet i love, but its very bulky and battery my gosh it will last only 4 a 2 days use.... im npt talkin to my boyfriend hourly but the way i used it its pain in the ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!honestly i love the phone as its very classy and it elegant looks, and as well as the hard copy of the pictuires perfectly more than a 8mp digi cam!!!!!!!11111

  • I bought myself the G800, I love it, it really performs but yes, the battery life is very, but very poor. It will last you about 3-4days if you don't text too much and not taking photo's. But further on, its a great phone. Manufacturers should really take a look at the G800's battery, make it last longer.

  • i got this phone today, and im realy dissapointed with quality of screen. i compared pics with old samsung d600 and d600 have much better quality of screen. anyone have same "problem" or its just me?! and btw i have 1 dead pixel =(

  • I have just purchased this phone and i love it! the only negative is the awful battery life!! it will last forever if you dont use it but for someone that is constantly texting and ringing like myself its doesnt last me half the day.

  • its nice

  • I've bought this camera, because of it's 5 mp camera, but... only the close up photo's are sharp and the colors are poor [Magenta:-(..] The quality of the video's is very poor; the sound also...

  • Hi does the G800 have the my screen option when u go to the wallpaper?

  • ive been using my g800 for only a month now and so far im so happy with it..with 5megapixel cam???im so cool with it..

  • ello can any one tell me if this phone comes with games and you change the theme or coulor in the phone !! i might buy one for my bady

  • where is the videocall camera?

  • HI:D i'm planning to buy a new phone. the one that -can last really long, like years and still works great -not easy to break when it falls, (coz im clumsy) -has good memory -does not hang. loads/sends/receives messages fast -good signals (coz i go to diff places all the time) -really handy/ NOT a burden -takes good pictures, and not in a slow manner (really works like 5mp?) -has long battery span (coz i go to diff places all the time) -lightweight and slim(unfortunately i don't think this is so.) -most especially, really worth the cost !! soo,, do you guys think this phone suits what i'm looking for?? coz i've been stuck with n70 for like forever. ! T___T and right now,, i think i really want samsung. coz nokia's beginning to suck like heck. if this does not fit what im looking for, can you please tell me what does? :D thanks thanks !! only samsung as much as possible :)

  • It looks and feels like your carrying a brick this phone is a real return to the mobile phones in the 90's, just with better features

  • In south africa it doesn,t come out with 7.2mbps

  • Best overall camera phone on the european market :) even though i'm an SE loyalist if i would choose between K850 and G800 i'll simply take G800 :) K850 is not the best SE camphone. their true best camphones were sold in japan the So905iCS and W62s Cybershot :)

  • when you talk about the camera i think you should compare it witch phones,but not with real camera,its a good camera for a phone,but real camera are still better. i like the camera

  • camera is great.

  • this phone has other good features but its camera really really sucks!wat a ripoff! u might as well get SONY ERICSSON K800i or even SAMSUNG U600/700 rather den wasting ur cash on this

  • look at the review "camera with a phone" meaning to say its camera 1st and phone 2nd does it make sense - camera capabilities are superb!

  • How do you switch off the T9 predictive text on a permanent basis ? You have to swich off T9 every time you want to send a msg :-(

  • can you use mp3 for your message ringtone???

  • i own a G800,but i have a great problem,it doesnt detect to my pc sometime, it is also slowly when u open and close it, and my ques does it lock the menu.

  • what is face detection?

  • hey, dont u think g800 camera abit weird? it doesnt produce 5 megapixel picture.does it?

  • can this phone take good pics when your out at night? is the flash good enough? xx

  • i think this phone is much better than n82.. why? because nokia is common phone in the philippines.. and also in the philippines they have a fake nokia phone like n82.. thats why i dont like nokia anymore.. if you want to have a good phone.. then have a real phone not a fake phone..

  • to reset your g800 or other samsung try *2767*3855# without sim card and wait for phone to power up on its own (1/2 minutes) will remove privicy code.but may lose some photos/songs

  • You asked about the sec. camera, then yes it does have it for video calling and for taking your own pictures.

  • In response to your queries, this handset does indeed have a secondary camera for video calls, and I currently use a 4GB SDHC card in it with no issues. I'm not sure if it does support TV Out.

  • does this phone support 4gb micro sd HC

  • Im waiting for g800 to be in the argos catalogue for 99.99 as then its worth paying 4 it until then i wouldnt fart on the spasticated brick

  • does it support the Tv Out function??

  • does this phone has a secondary camera? u know, like for the video calls?

  • Hi ! I love my G800 but I have a great problem: The screen turns black when I shut the front down. I had just recived it from service but the problem is not solved. Is there something in the options I can try changing or is the screen out of order for the 2. time ?? Can anyone help me - thanks :o)

  • btw, does anyone know if this phone supports a 4gb micro sd or just up to 2gb?

  • Havent owned a samsung phone before, so can anyone tells me does the calendar entries runs out of space such that i have to del older entries in order to input new ones? thanks!

  • Hi, I recently got a samsung g800 and i put the privacy lock on but have forgotten what i entered. is there any way of resetting it, i cant use any features on my phone and i'm having to use an old one. please help!

  • hi friends please tell me about its video camera............

  • This phone sounds great! When will this be in Australia?

  • Yes,you can see word,powerpoint and excel and even pdf

  • Does the G800 definitely have document viewer as the samsung website doesn't say that it has?

  • This phone is a little bit thick(i don't care) and samsung covered the thickness with the nice design, good work samsung. My first samsung and immediatly the best

  • One word : Sublimdesign by Samsung .

  • Girls all want this Phone! it is Sexy tho (but abit Fat lol)

  • Face detection is an option for the camera,go to settings when you are in the camera function and there you can say ON,it's a function that focusses itself on peoples faces,make them sharper

  • what is meant by face detection? i just bought the G800,, but i can't find it on the phone itself..

  • mn7, you must bought a fake G800

  • what kind of covers can you get???

  • does the samsung g800 have a cover?? if it has where do you get it from and plus cheap

  • can I know what os this phone using

  • What do you say,i think it's a good phone, and it has Face dedection and document viewer, before you say mad things about a phone,first test all his functions

  • I dont like this phone, its to big and the display must be for people with eyesight problems, the camera was drab and the sound was poor, there was no face detection or document viewers, the only good thing was the video editing of which was great, the sliding mechanism was clunky and felt like it was going to break

  • Yeah it has damn good 3G

  • how many songs can you store without the memory card on the g800

  • does g800 has video calling?

  • Is it Wifi-enabled?

  • No dual sim phone

  • Is this the one with dual sim feature?

  • Yess,also dual cam for videocall. G800 has Almost everything,but not wifi:s::p

  • is g800 a dual camera phone?

  • yes it has 3g,just read the specs

  • does this have 3g function

  • g800 has video calls.

  • hey guys...i want to upgrade to G800,does this phone have video call?

  • G 800 I am planning to buy this mobile any commends

  • hows is the browser?

  • Yes,you can choose from samsung tones or you can set your own music tone or things you like.

  • Can You have custom/mp3 MESSAGE/TEXT Tones????? I have a samsung d500 and you can not have any custom message/text tones, you only have the tones that came with the phone. Thanks

  • i bought this phone coz it has a nice design however it has low life battery specially when you are using the 5 mega pixel camera the battery drains quickly. hopefuly samsung will make a battery suited to this high end phone maybe 1,800 mah or higher will compensate the needs of this phone other than that this is a nice phone to posses.

  • this is thee phone.it takes grate pictures n i like the actual weight.very easy on the pocket.u just got 2 luv samsung 4 this

  • This phone has AMAZING battery life! It can go for 3 days without charging while having undergone long conversations and lots of texting daily.

  • coool

  • I think it's a really good phone, but i don't think you would be overwelmd by the loudness of these speakers, but the quality of the speakers is really nice So,not loud but really nice sound

  • is this samsung g800 loud

  • I dont really know who brought the idea of G800 its a big disgrace to samsung. I bought this phone two weeks ago, i get tired with it in two days. So Awefullllllllllll

  • Does this fone have a speaker function?

  • is the volume loud

  • no touchscreen or touch buttons

  • it is 1 of the best fones in the world i say go 4 it you will never make a mistake geting this fone and by the way its the way you take care of the fone

  • Is this phone a touch screen

  • is this phone has a font size in txt message like 5310 and 5610?

  • Andy if you're really into photography, I wouldn't recommend getting any mobile phone with a camera no matter how many megapixels. A camera on a phone will always have to compromise something. I have the Samsung G800 and love it, but the camera doesn't handle well in low light, even with the flash. You can never do better than a purpose built digital camera. this is good to have for the odd occasion you're caught without a camera but won't replace it for quality & speed of use. I got this because it has HSDPA internet & a decent camera & music player. if I want to take good pics I use a different camera.

  • I got the phone yesterday, it's got a great camera, and it's looks stunning!!! the only problem I have is that it doesn't support symbian... otherwise, for it's price class you won't get better!!!!

  • Does anybody else have problems w/ their phone?? After one week of use mine stopped gettin reception completely. Everything else works fine but the phone just couldnt get service anywhere i went. Came back for a couple hrs the next day and then crapped out again. Anyone have this problem???

  • im planning to buy cameraphone i dont have digital camera my cousin broke it. my aunt gonna give me $200 and with that money i rather buy cameraphone insted of digital camera i love talking pic everytime and i dont wanna carry digital camera all the time but i cant decide which phone i should buy samsung g800 or sony 850 they n95 is good but i really hate nokia design

  • Having been a Sony E owner since cell phones were availabe I have taken this big step and got the G800. (For the camera - which I don't think is much better than the 2MP of the Sony E. )Had it for a few hours. I am totally disappointed that there is not speed dial facility. What a shame. Also, having to get my head around the Samsung way of doing things is difficult for me. My husband has the Sony E 910i and it is slim, easy and gorgeous.

  • I bought this mobile. It's really wonderful but bulky. Those who like compact mobiles won't like this size :(

  • Avoid this handset at all costs! The speicification looks great if you want a handset that can take pictures. Unfortunately it doesn't live up to expectations. Just about all pictures are blurred and the 'shutter' is so slow that the subject has moved by the time it takes the picture. The annoying thing is that the preview picture generally looks fine. All indoor photos are absolutely terrible, and yes, I have changed the settings eventhough I would expect Auto to suffice. Tried to swap the device but I'm now out of my 14 day return date. I'm now lumbered with a complete brick for 12 mths- it is huge, wouldn't mind if it could take a decent picture but it can't.

  • thank you for your answers!!!!

  • this reply goes out to one who is asking about the memory card no sony ericsson's memory card does not work in smasung as it have micro sd slot and sony ericsson have ms slot so both of them are different..........

  • look again at the specifications: Card slot microSD (TransFlash). This means that you can not use your M2 card on the G800. You will have to buy a microSD

  • May be the 7.2mbps 3g will do the trick...but i doubt it will perform...i envy the g800 and g810 but i fear my money will go to waste,..i love the internet but samsung dosent provide it...they are snails in browsing and downloading

  • so far iv had the e250,d600,d600e,d820,d840,d900i, but non of them is a better and fast browser like the simple n5200. and an old t68i sony...samsung if you want to go down like the kawasaki motorola, then ignore the battery n browsers of ur samsungs

  • Hi, is there this kind of phone in Canada, not far than Laval?? cause im dying for this phone :) i wish i can have it

  • No, M2will not fit in this, only microSD.

  • its nice

  • my G800 was send back to get fixed 2 times i dont know this time the screan was f....

  • this is a very nice phone it has the best cam made by samsung bt i wud go for a k850i for the best 1

  • its very good phoe,it's whole digital camara,

  • G80o is better because G600 is not having HSDPA connectivity..while this phone supports HSDPA with 7.2Mbps

  • Steve thank you for your answer..... How can I take all the songs, pictures from that card? Using bluetooth? thank you again....

  • Maria, No the M2 won't fit the G800. M2 is exclusive to sony products. Samsungs use a Micro SD memory card. (Pretty common with cell phones.)

  • Hi!!!Can I ask something? I have a card 512 mb sony M2 in my old phone (sony ericsson K800). I am going to buy G800. Can I use that card? Will it fit?

  • Hi.... Wat can i say? due the fact that im put of with Samsung havin used the F300 and U700 and the poor sound quality should i really trust that this phone is any better? It looks and sounds neat but wat about the sound...please help

  • well wat can i say, looks and sounds gud but as i am now totally put off with samsung due to the poor sound quality on the f300 and u700 should i really go with samsung again? any one out there who knows if the sound is just as bad? help!!!!!

  • What about the sound and the price of this phone, or for that matter, why doesn't the site post information - even if rough - about the prices of phones, or about the sound quality and volume?

  • is this symbian

  • Bobo - yes you can change the sms setting to constant abc, while in test message mode, press and hold the "*" key for 3 seconds, the indicator in the top right will show weather its on T9 or abc. The Samsung G800 is NOT touchscreen. My G800 has frozen once. it does tend to be using the battery more and more quickly, but this can often be the a software glitch which can be updated via your network operator (send away for repair). Brynn the G800 does not have the equalisers, only volume adjustment. Hope this helps :-)

  • it is very good phone

  • g 800 is very good looking and very smart phone,3x optical zoom is very good.

  • Cool phone. I've had it for about 3 weeks. Anyone out there know the GPRS/WAP and MMS settings for Rogers network in Canada? Can't find them anywhere :(

  • ive had this fone for about 2 months and i think its great, but it does seem to freeze on me often. sometimes it gets so bad that i just have to pull the battery out while thefone is still on...i dont know how much longer my fone can take it...i just hope it doesnt delete everything at one point...

  • does this model g800 have any equaliser settings or not i.e. rock,,pop,,jazz,,3d surround.. thank you

  • i have not owned a samsung for years, can some1 pls tell me if you can add folders into my folders like on the nokia phones? Thanks

  • What OS is the G800 running... cant find any info on it?

  • 5mp is intersting but still the resolution pxel size is not the actual for 5MP cam. and without a Wifi i doubt for its pick... any questions do write i ll revert back. sharad awasthi

  • i have a 4gb sdhc micro sd card in my g800 right now, works fine

  • When i write sms i always need to cgange t9 to abc how can i set it always on abc to write normal mesages PLEASE HELP ME

  • i luv sutty & sweap

  • an update of my opinion posted on the 2008-02-07. the day after i had good things to say about the G800 it started acting up. the cellphone froze a few times. after restarting the phone it refused to pick up the memory card. i had to remove and re-insert the card everytime (2GIG). i took it back to vodacare in gateway, dbn and showed them the fault BUT they a bunch of thick human beings and said they did not agree that the phone was faulty. After spending 2 hours screaming at them and proving that it was the phone being faulty they gave me a letter to have it replaced. (i took the nokia navigator because it has already proven itself) i am not sure if any other G800 owners have had the same problem or its just my bad luck. I spoke to vodashop and they said out of the 3 they received and sold only mine came back faulty. i think this phone will be revised very shortly as faults start pouring in. we will have to wait and see after the official launch from the other networks.

  • When i write sms i always need to cgange t9 to abc how can i set it always on abc to write normal mesages

  • Not impressed... too big and bulky plus buttons and verything just seem tacky. Usually a big fan of Samsung aswell.

  • G800 will look nicer in Charcoal Grey or Silver color?

  • is this a touch screen phone

  • I am in love with this phone!!!!!!! It 's excellent!!!

  • too expensive. how i wish i could have it for free....tnx

  • I also have this phone,really great. I have a 2 gb memory card in it and on the samsung site they say that it can take a max of 2 gb,so Professor Moog,can it also can have 4 gb??

  • I have this phone, it's great. Yes you can customise ring tones & Txt msg tones with any mp3. there are speakers to listen to music (not very loud). Face detection optimises portrait pics. it can save up to 1000 sms on the phone memory (160mb). it has 3g and hsdpa (equivalent to broadband for mobile) where network permits, shows web pages as for pda hamdset. There are 2 cameras, one is for video calling at vga resolution, the other is 5mp. The battery tends to last for 2 days with use of phone, camera & music player. 4-5 days with little use. On the negative, I'd say the camera processor is slow, low light pics need patience. it is a HEAVY phone, but well made & built to last. Apparently it can take up to 4gb micro sd, I am using 1gb no problems. There are lots of options on all settings throughout the phone, so it can take hours to customise! Great piece of equipment.

  • I love this phone and I am going to buy it for sure, can I personalise the sms tone and make it my own and how long can the video record for.

  • does this phone have loudspeaker and 2 cameras ??

  • This can like to be a verrry naice telefone,i would be forelikingz havingz dis fone!! plees mun!

  • I've had my phone for about 3 months now and just recently the clock has been going crazy. The time speeds up so that it goes about twice as fast so i always have the wrong time. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Thanks

  • i love the phone.....

  • received 1 about 3 days ago, must say that i expected alittle more out of samsung's flagship phone. cons: The sound is not B&O great, its alittle overweight, menu not so hot, not alot of features like the nokia N range, pros: 5Mp camera with xenon flash and optical zoom, great receiption, battery life is good, samsung claims 20hrs in offline mode (i will try this on my trip far east next month, and update), great looking phone. overall: if you looking for a phone thats light weight, thin, packed would features i would suggest a Nokia or Ericsson. This should of been listed as a camera with a built in phone. It is as big and heavy as they come but it is truely stunning. Its a phone that people will notice and will ask you about time and time again. If you like attention then this 1 is for you!

  • pretty design! plain silver and looks like a elegant mobile phone! and has all the feature of a phone and has 160mb internal memory and this phone has a cardslot!

  • just wondering if this phone has any of the same peeling problems that the u700 has? any other such faults?

  • Much better then the U700. This one is not touch sensitive.Got one 2 days ago.

  • well its a very stylish phone but ther is few problems, are we going foward in technologie o are we going back, that phone is big as the first nokia that came out (Brick Type)

  • When I first saw this on TV I was amused how it looks like aside from the features! I've been looking for a phone with a high megapixel. And I finally found it. The thing is there's no WiFi. Whoo!! Anyways I still love it and I wanna buy it!

  • G810 on its way with Symbian 9.2 OS - S60 3.1, on-board GPS, Wi-Fi, and a bigger battery (1200mh).Cheers!!

  • Yes it has a dual cam.

  • i really love this phone... hopefully i can havethis!!!!

  • I love the looks of this phone it cost about R4 600 in SA and just the buttons are like touch screen like the U700. Can't wait for the phone to be launched at Vodacom shops.

  • Very poor zoom

  • Is this phone much cooler than other phones??..Tnx!

  • nice design and good features but its not slim

  • Some one can tell me how its sound quality and can v record outgoing or incoming calls? Regards

  • does this have a dual cam? in front and at the back? tnx

  • Does anyone know how to make the message tone only sound once instead of every 3 minutes?

  • for a 5mp camera and all that jazz, the video resolution is absolutely pants

  • Best of the best Samsung phones! 1-st samsung phone with Flash Player ( without symbian or windows OS) .Verry good build quality, camera and stand-by .

  • is this touch screen?

  • press the little star in tle left corner (down) and hold it a few sec

  • It is the bast camera phone of the word yet.it is extera ordinary

  • its a great phone but why buy what you cannot operate.The manual is always inclusive so try and read the manual very well in order to avoid having problems with the phone so your complain doesn't spoil the model.and like i said, its good with a whole lot of features especially the camera.

  • How come there are no values given for the camcorder in the specs section? Does the phone record at VGA, 30fps??

  • I like it.it's nice..Is there any other color aside from silver?

  • would anyone know how to edit the phone's t9 dictionary or to delete some words, or even to set which word will come up first, because i was texting and didnt realize i was on numbers so i accidently typed in 263 instead of "and" and now everytime i use "and", 263 comes out and it really bugs me.

  • How to turn T9 input off?? Help pls!

  • 1st: its not copycat samsung invented slide phones ahead of nokia(all bar phone noticed?) and come to think of it samsung released 5megpixel phone in 2005 and 7-10megpixel in 2006 but only in korea serch in google for proof. 2nd: it hast xenon all right yes much pwoerful flash compare to n95 8gb, but N82 much more powerful! but picture quality G800 win 3rd: its front panel is made out of metal quite durable. thats all folks read review on this phone but not so reliable coz they keep on praising nokia, theyr fron finland where nokia is based no wonder.

  • Hi i m thinking about buying G800.Please tell me can we install Real Player in G800 or it comes pre-installed .Also for any one currently using G800 tell if this Xenon flash is better then N95 LED or not.

  • Does it support flashlite and flashlite wallpaper? How about games? Can it transfer games through PC and install?

  • I see GSM Arena didn't include the G800 in the "Grand 5 megapixel shootout: The usual suspects" Test, Yet there is Two Nokia's... Guess they knew before hand this would knock the pants off the competition.. :)

  • HI, i am interested to get this phone but worry that the ring tone is very soft. For the past model i used the ring tone is very soft.That why i turn to SE W850.

  • ringtone just go to settings,phone profiles,and select normal profile and there you can choose your song

More about me; www.myspace.com/alessmerdelj Take care;-)

  • one final word on the battery life by users please?

  • cool, with 5MP optical camera

  • Samsung phones are generally very good especially their design. A major drawback though is they can't receive business cards from other non-samsung phones. Quite anoying

  • Hi guys...Could someone tell me plz How to loud soundspeaker phone...beacuse this sound is poor i want to loud the sound better..tnx

  • nice phone

  • @lucy To extend the ring time on 02, dial following code: **61*901*11*30# send This will set it to 02's maximum of 30 seconds ringtime. Only other thing you could do would be deactivate your voicemail - 1760 send

  • i love this phone, got it the other day, it is big but stylish! excellent, no problems so far. I have it on o2, does any one know if you can exend the time that it rings 4, when i receive a call at the moment, by the time i have gotten to it its stoppen ringing!

  • ouhhhh, this is more a camera than a phone!! I mean, come on! Face detect, xenoa flash... 5Mp's?? It is very expensive...

  • @chaddy you stay away from the Samsung Forums if you dont like the them! so hard to understand you..biast Nokia fans

  • great phone, great camera.

  • just won't udrstd why ppl comparing so much. da main point is, compare with another phone of the same capabilities. not all ppl require the same functions. honest opinion, da optical zoom is attractive. bt kinda bulky

  • Hi Amy I am also having the thoughts on the points you mentioned. If you managed to resolve them do share with me the info. Tks

  • Samsung...Where is WLAN ? What a shame...wake up i think you sleep...take a look whats new in Nokia house...really shame

  • H.264 playback and H.263 means MP4 and 3gp format.it does not have any GPS for google maps and again it is great.Much more than a handset.

  • does anyone know if this phone has gpsor any other real time navigational software on it? i downloaded google maps on it, but it just gives you directions, no real time location or anything...can anyone help?

  • I got this phone about 2 weeks ago and i really like it... i used to have the Samsung D900..i have a few questions tho 1)Does anyone know how to get rid of the operator logo, you were able to have optional text on my last phone.Don't know ho to do it on this phone. 2)When i add the anti-shake option on the camera it turns off after every photo i take, is there a way to keep it on permanantly. 3)Does anyone know if there is a way to get a preview icon on the videos, coz i don't get them and its annoying because i have to name them all. If anyone can help it'll be great!

  • completely good phone,i have this phone everyone especially the girls just want their numbers in it,big up samsung,but it costs.

  • what is H.264 playback??? some reviews say's it support H.264 playback but gsmarena says nothing in its review???? what else we dont bout this fone???

  • hey..somebdy who uses this cell can tell me that is there any site for applications and softwares for this set

  • I have two questions. Where is the microphone when you use the camcorder(because when you're on a concert the sound can maybe to loud). And why does taking a picture take so long,always when i photgraph someones face,its is a moved picture,because it are maybe 2 seconds to take a picture. thx

  • Hey everyone! I'm considering a purchase of this phone. can somebody give the pros and cons! the reviews don't really help me as different websites have different opinions. In gsmarena.com the speakerphone loudness is 'good' whilein mobilereview.com they say its on par with walkman phones. Three simple questions i would specially like to ask: 1.Can we view photos in landscape mode? 2.Is the memory card reading very slow? Please give a quantitative answer as to what time it takes to read a memory card? 3.Can we talk on phone with the slide closed (like in other recent samsung sliders?) Thanks a lot in advance!

  • hi is the samsung G800 loud thanks

  • This phone is a bit big isnt? I saw one in the shop and it seems real bulky, is that just me? sure, i like the metal but for a slider its pretty big. :S. Not sure i like it. And doesn't the camera protector slide open in ur pockets?

  • @zollies 1. Data transfer using Samsung PC Studio Software IS VERY VERY SLOW. I change connection settings to Media Player, or Mass Storage to transfer my files. By doing so, my pictures download within seconds. 2. I do not share this problem. 3. All my pictures download onto my computer fine, i have never downloaded a corrupt picture. 4. Yes once the phone shows 2/3 bars, i charge it that night, even if it just turns 2/3. Usually, a charge lasts me 2 days, so i charge every second day.

  • Its amazing and full with features. Its shape & Camera is stunning.

  • zollies, thanks a lot. I didn't know that. I appreciate it!

  • it's $500.9 @ www.phonesource-usa.com

  • i think its a cool mobile with many features

  • I have this mobile!great phone!!much better than nokia n95!!

  • it is $560 dollar

  • all samsung cellphone is not good samsung brand is very cheap as phone

  • Some help please people ... I have had the phone for 3 weeks now and had some problems. Can anyone else confirm these please ? 1. Data transfer rate in PC Studio mode to transfer photos is VERY, VERY slow. It takes approx. 45 secs to transfer just 1 photo (1.5Mb). My SE K610i transfers at about 3-4 times this speed. 2. When setting the phones PC Connections mode to "Ask on connection" the phone will connect to the PC ... BUT after turning the phone off and on the phone will no longer connect to the PC at all without a reset !! 3. When transferring photos to PC, approx. 1 photo in every 5 is corrupt on the PC. The original is OK. If you transfer the same batch again, different photos will be corrupt and others OK ??!! 4. The other night my phone had 2 (of 3) bars of battery left. I turned it off that night and then when powered up the following day it only lasted 15 mins, beeped a warning and then completely died ! And I did NOT make or take a call, send a text etc. Bluetooth off also. Your help would be appreciated.

  • g600 i spose

  • Adrian / Frederik, The Wide Dynamic Range CAN be used on the camera BUT you have to turn OFF Face Detection. They do not work together. Hope this helps.

  • frederik, I too have the G800 and the WDR works only on video recording mode...

  • awwwwww mann!. i love this phone's design butttt tri-band =//. wi-fi would be a plus too =( samsung please release a phone like the g800 but with wi-fi!

  • Nice looking phone and all, But i will never buy a samsung phone until they start making them quadband.

  • Thx adrian,but on the samsung site they say that this function can give you nice portret fotos and videos. But i can't use it when the camera is on,only when i record a movie. Is samsung lying on the site or what?

  • Has anyone had any problems with the quality of the photos by the g800? I've had a few problems: 1. Very sensitive to hand movement. Worked out a technique to hold the phone in my palm rather than with finger tips. But still cant take zoomed (optical) pics without them being blurry. Supposed anti shake function doesnt help. 2. Took close up of some people's face- camera about 1 metre away. The skin has all these black dots, which makes them look like pits. The 3 pics I took look like that. And it's only skin which is like that. Everything else (eg plants, buildings, cars, tables etc) is dull, but otherwise normal. I really like this phone. It's a real beauty. But I fear it's just skin deep. Anyone else have any comments of their pics? Perhaps compared to their experience with n95 or k850?

  • frederik, the Wide Dynamic Range option only works on video mode.

  • hi can you tell me if this phone is reaolly good or not. im scouting for phones right now...

  • ebay?

  • G800 video

  • best camera phone on market at the moment. Picture qaulity much better than N95 by far as the screens on samsung phone are much better quality. Excellent phone

  • if possible that the screen resolution can be improve from 256k to 16m will be much more better,as i dont expect the function like nokia,because samsung is a stylis phone.but is that same problem like memory card read error like previous model?and is that still same like using the same usb for data and charge batt?if,then it will be bad,because i always use the phone as a modem,the batt gone fast then charging.i think this is the major think that i concern,and he samsung can improve all of this,then samsung will be simply the best.

  • Does anyone know the size of the jack hole? The universal spec is 3.5mm but this one seems smaller. What do you guys think of jack hole with unique size? Did it bother you or was it ok?

  • how do i activate the wide dynamic range feature on the g800? It won't work,i can't activate it,help please. Just send an email,thx.

  • hi does any know if a 4g mini sd chip is to big this phone

  • Hey..... Im intrested 2 buy dizzz ph bt can any 1 tell me its picture clarity wen compared wit N95 n K850 n also evn its xenon flash n d main thing its battery.Hw is d battery of cellphone. plz mail me.

  • Samsung you can get full score if you improve on this phone...Let the phones you produce cater for all persons, then there would be no competition...Wifi, Touchscreen...

  • This phone can become the best in the world if it only has touch screen and wifi...Cmon Samsung, how could you forget that, !!! I'm disappointed with you guys...

  • Samsung!!! This is a great phone but it misses 2 fundematal functionalities, which is "wireless Lan" and Touchscreen" - Please improve on this model with the 2 missing fuctionalities....

  • To "all da people who want be agaist Samsung Mobile" Do you guys actually know about Samsung Company.? Everyone knows Nokia is Mobile phone company. however samsung is different with that.! Samsung making lots of others as well. and over 50% of their products they have No.1 Technology in the world. such as Micro chip (D-RAM) and LCD also they do supply Mobile phone CPU to HTC and etc. company. Do you guys know ? that over 30% of Apple Iphone's inside parts are from Samsung.! Moreover, why would samsung copy FAT.-! Bulky Design from Nokia.? Samsung's Design Concept being Slim Factor and it is differnt with Nokia Design Concept.! and for the future 4G(WiBro) technology was Developed from Samsung and all the mobile phone in the future need to use samsung 4G(WiBro) chip. from all of these Samsung being totally Different company as Nokia who just making out side of phone.(inside of phone parts are fully supplied by third party)!

  • this is not a hand phone that can take picture...it is a camera that can use as a hand phone too...it's camera was more gd then the phone...thias is a cameramnot a hand phone any more...wish u guys can understand^^

  • Put your photos to your mem card then put your mem card in your comp (That's if you have a mem card reader) If not Put your Phone on to Mass Storage when you plug your phone in the comp it should show an extra drive (That's ya phone) Then it's Just Drag & Drop

  • I've had the G800 for about a week, and I've just tried to put photos and such onto the computer but I dont know how? I've tried the disc that comes with it and all that jazz, but it doesnt seem to work? Any advances on how to do it please? :)

  • In Korea, Koreans only buy their own products and review their own products on their own websites. On the streets you will see that more then 95% of the cars are Korean. I would never buy a Korean product until they started buying some of our products. I travel to Korea often. Try visiting Korea and selling a Korean a western product. You will find that that they will only buy and support their own products. Why support someone that refuses to support you or buy your products... As long as you buy their products they are happy and friendly to you but see what happens when you ask them to buy your product..

  • hi here! this phone looks so great! please tell me when the g800 is going to luanch in south africa. please please please

  • Carphone Warehouse are selling it for �280 on Pay as You Go. With CarPhone Warehouse Pay as you go are actually Sim-free

  • To Sub K I'd take your phone back. I've had mine for about 8 weeks now. And I've never had any trouble with the memory card. So it's probably a fault with your phone.

  • am interested in this phone an i would like to know if this phone is bigger than a nokia n95. Please help me because i really want to know what to do.

  • just bought the g800 and i like it alot, many people complain about the size but it was half the reason i bought it, more substantial and less likely to be lost (extremely less likely) however i dont know whether this is just my model but i seem to have problems with the memory card, it keeps needing reformatting and erasing everything i put on there, not fun. Apart from that its a good phone and im going to see if i can exchange mine for another to see if the memory card problem is specifically in my model. i will post when i get the new one.

  • I like the G800 very much, but it's so big!!! And it looks soooo very nice!! So my question is, is it worth it??

  • hello! just a simple question ! this matter bothers me a lot ! which phone is better ? g800 or g600 ? i'm looking for a good resolution and long battery life phone ! anyone ?? please help me ! tnx! =)

  • Hi This Phone (G800) Has the louder ring and text tones. On the G600 the ringtone speaker is in the same place as the phones ear speaker. On the G800 the speakers (Yes there are two) are on the top edge (It is quite a deep fella) Mine is very loud never missed a call. Used to miss them all the time on my G600.... Hope This Helps

  • hey guys i just wanna ask for who use G600 and G800 plz which sound is louder and better than the other G600 or G800 nt in headset in the ringtone , plz thats so important to me , thank u so much

  • Its a fact that nokia phones used to explode, but lately their haven't been anymore complains, which is a good step forward for nokia, but still a long road to go. we all have brains mate, but it looks like mine is better, and i wouldn't try to prove me wrong, i don't want to sound all full of myself, but i got more insight and brains then most people on this planet. If i could be less of it, i would glady, because known tomuch is bad for your consituents.

  • what it's a .. "face detection"?

  • is the most beautiful telephone that i now.i whant this phone for me.please

  • Hey eddie! Thanks a lot!

  • this phone is too big.its like having a lump of metal in your pocket.

  • Hey Jane, let us know what this phone is like when you get one.

  • the cheapest 5mega phone,under 400eur!takes best picture at all,just bring the same pictures forex.from n95 and g800 to laptop and then u'll see who's king.make test yourself

  • ahhhhhh i want the g800 but then the batt life sucks. common samsungggg!

  • It don't Have Voice Activation...

  • In general I like it but it is advertised on Vodaphone and elsewhere as having "Voice Activated Dialling"- Does anyone know how to set this up please? I cannot find it anywhere in the Menu's. As for the "Anti-Shake" I agree it is a bit of a nuisance, surely it would have made the default "On" not "Off", come on Samsung!

  • surely the photographer in the BBC studio had anti shake off, it was worse than a camera with no anti shake. People have found that if you put anti shake on exit the camera and go back in it will be off perhaps the man took the first few with it on exited the camera to do something went back thinking it was on when it was off and took the rest. Can anyone show me a picture with the anti-shake definitely on?

  • @Jane The slide is very solid, very well built, great slide mechanism. The keypad, well, i dont really think its the best for texting lol. The keypad is amazingly flat and soft, with the "5" key bumped up for a reference point. I found it hard to adjust to the keypad. At times i would accidently press two keys at once because there isnt really much difference from one key to the next, not a big difference at least, especially when texting.

  • What is the slide action like on this phone? I need to make achoice between this one, the i560 and the F330. What do you guys recommend?

  • Well, others dont really like samsung models for sure it's unfriendly, but for some guys who are as SMART as we are, yes we like it. Go samsung models if you are a SMART user!

  • I really didnt like it, i have the G600 and i think that is so much better than this. It has the old interface and the camera didnt really impress me. i was really disappointed as this was the phone i was looking forward to.
