  • Hello, I´ve it, but windows mobile in english. I´m spanish and I would like to have the spanish firmware. How I obtain spanish firmware. Thanks!.

  • Where can I find a clean windows mobile 6.1 ROM for my phone, I love it, but is full of customized things from Vodafone ITALY that I want to get rid of! Can somebody help me in this matter?

  • i disassembled my samsung i620 now i am unable to re-assemble it properly. i think the belt or ribbon which looks like ide hard disk cable is not joint properly. i disassembled it because all keys of it was not working it responds only when i open or close slide. and power button also stops responding after boot. plz help

  • The only thing that i hate about this mobile is that the storage fills up quickly (with messages)but the rest i love it.

  • main bord circut

  • I have recently bought this phone unlocked and I was wondering if there is any way I can get internet settings for the 3 network in the UK? The phone has every internet setting for all networks (e.g. Orange, 02, T-Mobile etc) but not for 3 (three), and it's confusing seeing as I can send and recieve calls and texts but I can't use the phone for the main reason of purchasing it, and that's to use the internet! Can anyone help? thanks

  • anyone have a problem with this phone?

  • where can i buy this phone in manila? is this even sold in manila???

  • It doesn't have flash? It does have flash lite 2.1. Don't know if they're the same thing.

  • DOes this ohone supports microsoft echange folder

  • there's actually NO flash also, it holds only up to 2gb STANDARD microSD

  • Does dis fone haves Wifi? Thaaanks!

  • Nice fon, but no Wi-fi! I think tis is not best of the year.

  • payment was done with PayPal, phone costed to me approx. US 370 inc. all fees, delivery time was less than one week. Anyway, have not tested MicroSD WiFi card, but I do not need it, because my operator provides Internet service for fixed price. . So I can surf as much as I wont and no any extra costs. Finally my device works perfectly so far.

  • Please advise trusted site i can purchase this mobile? thanks

  • Tiny screen, and no WiFi?? All phone companies should put WiFi into their newest phones! People want WiFi!!

  • I have just ordered this phone and should recieve it tommorrow. Over all it looks and sounds top! I suppose wi-fi would of been good but its not really something I need, as I pay my network extra for internet access. Cant wait to get it!!

  • is this phone strong in multimedia ? does it have good music quality and video playback??

  • why didnt they put the Wi-fi??? this would have been a hit!! tsk tsk, thats the only thing that prevents me from buying this phone ;( i dont even care if there is a camera or not coz i already have a primary camera phone

  • I like this phone, even when it does not have wifi and the camera is quite limited, especially in the dark. Even the Windows system works quite well but I am happy the Opera browser is default. I can live with the PDA functions that some people don't like and it synchronises perfectly with all Mac applications such as Calendar and Address Book, better than Palm or Nokia do (you need the conversion software of Mark/Space). Only downside for me is that the internet connection with KPN is not stable, if I can't wait I have to reboot the phone connection which is ennoying (I do not need to switch the phone off completely). Is this familiar and/or does anybody has a solution to this issue?

  • is group sms available in i620,plz tell how too

  • The phone is very good i have it for about 1 mounth but samsung sould think of new model with wifi!!!

  • no wifi why are you all still arguing about this? There is NO WIFI on this phone

  • Hi, I thinking of buying this phone. But the guy in store told me it has wifi and now I read it hasn't, can annybody tell me if it has wifi? And is it a good phone, I'm planning on buying the pink one!! Thanks

  • Hi, I am from Singapore. Wow, great phone this one, just like I am eyeing the F520 too. I think this the only slide up qwerty keyboard phone I saw. Maybe Samsung can put in WIFI/wlan too, abit generous on the camera maybe 3.15mp like most Samsung have, 16 million color screen like most Nokia have & keyboard like the SE P1i has. Then it will be a real smart/business phone to counter all the others. Cheers..

  • I got this phone two weeks ago...and very good...perfect design...!!

  • this mobile doesn't have wifi, has problems when disconnecting calls in course and its system PDA leaves much to be desired, no recomended

  • If it has wifi how do you turn it on i got this phone 3 days ago and cant fint wifi???

  • has anyone tried to use this with at&t yet?? i just really need to know, thanks!

  • Yes, its has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g

  • does is has wifi??

  • hi is this phone loud and is the soung good thabks

  • based on the specs alone, i would rather stick with samsung's i600. as far as my phone is doing.. i have no problems and flexibility of application and features is perfect. just an opinion anyway. =)

  • cam anybody tell me why there are 2 backcovers in the box??

  • I have the big brother the i640v. Interesting phone. As expected fiddly windows OS which is a pain. If you can live with that, the keypad is pretty good, shame as with most phones today battery life sucks.

  • Peopels have the samsung I620 good sound?...and good camera?

  • I'd stick to the Samsung i600 instead, it's much better.

  • Hi people. Is Samsung SGH i620 good? Please tell me now !

  • Hi I like Samsung i620 is it good? Idont have it yet. Its my birthday present. Is it good? I hope that.

  • Oh it's just wonderful!!!!!

  • Hi just got this phone and are quite plesed, had a i600 this is better but the touch buttons can be annoying getting pressed accidentally, battery good especially bigger one, get this you can add personal text alert but it must be in the "my documents" folder, not the sounds folder!

  • hey for people who want to add wifi you can add a micro sdio wifi card and all thing will be complete

  • i640 looks much better and has wifi and GPS

  • same thing over here.. with sliding n stuff

  • I find its attractive in a way that suits everybody, its very teenage & girly, buisness & mature. I Think its pretty :D

  • What's happen to WLan of this windows mobile?!what will happen for other handset in future!!

  • Hi, just a quick two points. The top slider section feels a bit flimsy and moves a bit. anyone has the same problem? also the battery cover is really hard to take off. it almost feels like you're breaking the device.

  • Bought this phone from Expansys after searching various websites trying to get spec/info about it. Some stated wifi, some did not, and what do you know (no wifi). Very disappointed. The thing is I cant say for certain, but I think Expansys stated wifi then removed it. Got it because windows mobiles are usually boring looking and it is a very cool phone. Thing is they touch buttond are rubbish, and there is a slight problem sometimes when ending a call ie. it wont stop the call even when slider put down. Screen shape not good for windows mobile either

  • the way u perfecttify a phone ( i noe ders no such word) at least a 3.2 mp autofocus camera...xenon flash 30 fps vga recording wifi...hsdpa...16m colors....tv out...with symbian os...or windows mobile os if der wuz a phone such as that and looked nice as this i would be tempted to buy it

  • That's nuts no Wi-Fi

  • I think samsung decided to remove the wifi option to make it cheaper , and i also think no one will buy it !!!!!!

  • This is really getting annoying. A smartphone with no wifi? and will you please put that one little extra band -850- so that samsung phones are useful in north america

  • This phone does not have Wi-Fi

  • That is i620v on the vodafone business website. Now, if you click on features you will see that there is a tick next to 'WiFi'. Could it be possible that the Vodafone version of this phone [i620v] could have wireless, while the regular version does not?

  • the phone has no wifi definitely. I have been playing it for 2 days. All the specs listed at various sites are misleading. I bought that as I believe it has the function. Very disappointed!

  • If you look at the manual for this phone, there is no indication that it supports WiFi. There must be a mistake, as there is widespread belief that this phone has the feature. Does anybody have the phone? And can you confirm this for us?

  • Can anyone confirm if this phone supports voice dialling? Thanks.

  • just received the phone today. cannot find any wifi. Are we all being cheated by the spces. Or I am too stupid not able to find out the function there. Anybody can enlighten me?

  • hi I want to be sure if this smartphone has the wifi. Because i read different answers !!! tks

  • is the samsung i620 has a wifi ?

  • I is nog "coming soon", it is on sale: just bought it today in Belgium, Antwerp. Marvellous machine. I yesterday sold my HTC Touch (had it less than 3 months), nice thing but I was really tired of the delicate "touch" handling ;-)) Glad I chose this one, in black/chrome, azerty keypad. No doubt, it is striking, it was in a display among 100 other mobiles, and by far the most impressive one. Also is handling as a dream, I made the perfect switch. In the box: 2 batteries! One of which high capacity, with separate loading stand. On the internet all ways: WiFi and HSDPA, just buy it. I have no Samsung shares ;-)

  • Yesterday I seen in CEBIT fair.Screen is very small for featured application. It's look like a IPOD.

  • hey guys... does someone found a review about this phone? I'm realy interested to see a review,cose I wanna buy it but I can't seem to find it aanywhere in Italy

  • This site has it for sale... i620: $686.50 and i620v: $552.50

  • @ Meghindo It has stereo speakers and NO flash. Got the phone and works fine. Ciao

  • This Phone is E 499.95 The Phone House Netherlands

  • whoops sorry,typing mistake,that's 369 euros not 639 euros ...

  • hey guys,I ordered this phone from Vodafone italia at the price of 659 euros but I have a problem,I browsed the internet for this device & in some photos the phone has stereo speakers on the back & no flash for camera,in other photos like gsmarena it nas flash but no stereo speakers...now,I asking,what's the final version of this phone cose I want to know how will my phone be...

  • There's a mistake in characteristics, the phone's size in real is 94x59 mm; and when the slider is open, only then it measures 113 mm in height

  • Are these really the dimensions for i620 or just copied from i600? (except weight) 113 is very long for a slider...

  • the good phone

  • thank you greenie

  • display is 65k. -piece of crap-

  • think u better go for the i600 upgraded to WM6.this slide out keyboard looks nice but just makes working less easy.My point, design i620, practical use i600

  • It seem much thicker than i600... and from preliminary screen they keyboard seem uncomfortable to use. (recessed in)

  • The processor in the phone is the same as that in the i320, the faster 400MHz one.

  • Hello, does anybody know what processor and with what characteristics, is installed in this phone? Thank you.

  • @Rizzy 399 Euro is about 545 USD, man! That is really cheap for us in Europe. Way to go, Samsung!

  • Samsung i620 coming to Vodafone UK on September 2nd according to an email I got from Vodafone Customer Support today.

  • update to WM6 for i600 is available on samsung website.

  • Hey meghindo, I too like to get a boner, but just went to vodafone italia n don't understand italian though it shown 399euro. That's like crazy "wow" of over $900. Come on SAMSUNG, relieve us in the States from those dummy Iphones n other ugliness. Or just let me be the one getting this phone here. U heaaar mee, Pleasee

  • the locked phone price is 399 Euros in Vodafone Italia

  • News Flash you guys...this bad ass phone is available on vodafone italia network from this month (july) at the price of 199 euro without subscription...isn't that an instant boner? ;-D ;-*

  • this one is different from the i600 (I've got that one). i620 owns wifi. HUGE difference, at least for me. and if it's like i600, then it's a great phone.

  • the best phone i ever had but now i got the iphone and its much better than this slow operating phone wifi doesn't evan work well

  • WM6 supports resolutions above 65k so if the specs are correct, it is the phone's fault. In fact it does not matter, you will see no difference at 2.4" 320x240. HSDPA 1.8 Mbps is different to 3.6 Mbps, becaus the latter needs GSM 2100 MHz. Again you will see no difference on 320x240, on mobile phones usually rendering speed limits browsing above a certain connection speed. WM6 is better to WM5 in several ways, but an upgrade was promised by Samsung to the i600 as well.

  • No obvious advantages over the i600 apart from WM6. Yes, it has a slightly higher res cam w/flash, but everything else is the same. Personally, adding a sliding mechanism just adds another thing to worry about. I say, the less moving parts, the better (durability-wise). And what's the screen size? It looks the same as the i600's. Kinda defeats the purpose of the slider form factor if you use up so much space for those buttons and the D-pad, instead of increasing the screen size. Once again, fashion over function...

  • Could anyone kindly give me the information about its arrival date? When will it be hitting the market! Windows operated, amazing looks, this phone is the answer to my prayers..

  • Man this thing is awesome it's practically the same as the i600 but it white and it slides

  • clear function and concept with nice feature though

  • i think this handset will be execellent because the other phones that are out for business use are now where near as stylish as this phone plus the features are very good on there aswell !!!!!! so think you are all wrong to put this phone down

  • i think this would be my answer for white Samsung smartphone. actually i plan to buy the i600, but unfortunately its only available in black. i'm looking for the white colour. and i600's camera is only 1.3mp. the i620 is all i want. its white, with 2mp camera, and windows mobile 6.0. when can i purchase this phone in south east asia countries?hopefully the price won't be higher than the i600

  • Samsung is the bomb my friend. I know that because I own their Samsung Z540, and it has proven to be a great phone. But time progresses and so does technology, and I love it when Samsung creates something really cool and innovative for their customers. My point is that Samsung is, well... languishing with their outdated technology. I do truly like Samsung and all of their products, but Samsung needs new ideas. For now I hope that Samsung creates something cool, because I really don't like Nokia. Oh yeah none of us are losers, all of us would agree that we don't want to be brung down to your level.

  • Samsung, every other phone company is progressing with design and technology, a lot of cool phones from your competitors are drawing out your buyers. Samsung you let me down with this phone. Instead of looking into the future, you went back in time, with this! I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us Samsung fans in the future. Your fan, A.b.c Gum

  • nice phone, but also look at the i600.that one has proven to be very stable and fast

  • well I don't realy care about it's operating sistem,If I where to wote I would wote for samsung OS & a 256k screen & not for a WM OS with a lame ass 65k screen & yes,they are stupid for this move cose the technologi is far to advanced in 2007 to have shadows on our screens & only to use WM OS

  • HSDPA 1.8 vs. 3.6Mbps ====================== Don't misunderstand the speed issue. It is not handset dependant as much as it is Network dependant. HSDPA in few months will offer speeds of up to 10 Mbps and most handsets can achieve a great deal of this speed by default. Others may need a firmware upgrade to support faster connections. Harlekkin

  • Please try to include touchscreen - it'll be better.

  • HSDPA with 1.8 Mbps is a bit dissapointing. Motorola & LG sell already phones with HSDPA 3.6 Mbps.

  • Windows Mobile only supports 65K screens. That's why. It seems as though the battery life will be poor again because it is too slim. Otherwise it's a beautiful design, wrecked by the ugly keypad.

  • looks good, however, the keypad seems way to small; not sure this is the best Samsung came out with but we shall see...

  • I want this phone!!!!

  • I'm realy disappointed of the display! It's a great phone, but what about the only 65k display?!

  • Windows Mobile SE used to supports 256k color. Most of the Windows Mobile 5 & 6 devices support 65k (effective) colors. I dont know whats the deal but other than GIGABYTE , New i-Mate Ultimate series and a few HTC, I havent come accross any other device that is running WM 5 or 6 and still supports 256k. Can you name anything else please.

  • this phone reminds me of the past designs;) first, the navigational key reminds me of Ipod 5th gen. second, the keypad is like treo 650. all in all very good phone atm.

  • Windows mobile supports 256k also. Don't know where you guys get this from but you already have new smartphones with 256k and they are running WM mobile 6 !

  • WheW... lucky this phone was announced.. i almost bought the i600. damn. GSMarena SAved me =P. hmm. its gona be a waste if i were to get the i600.. in the end i bought motoROKR Z6. yeah! so, ill let go of the Z6 when this phone comes out =)) cheers

  • The screen itself is 256K color. Its the stupid Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 that supports only 65k. So chill.

  • to Meghindo ! This phone has Windows Mobile 6 .. Windows Mobile only support upto 64K colour,, so it only has this and Samsung is not stupid to use only 64k lcd on this phone...

  • Damm Samsung,whay did you have to wreck everything?what's with that lame ass 65k screen yall?this is realy hot & I love the design & the qwerty keypdn,I wanted that in a phone but 65k ? hell no!!!!!!!

  • Specs can't be right! HSDPA w/ all the bells & Whistles and only a 65K Display!!! Very disappointing!

  • it looks somewhat unpretty but i somehow liked it. If only they implement the kick slider, it ewould be better.

  • i havent even copped the blackjack yet and i want this 1 now daaaamn!

  • looks like an ipod scroll wheel

  • Since It has WiFi you can surf the web at ease with the qwerty keyboard.

  • I've tried the proto type of this phone overall= pretty good

  • I am the first Really nice samsung !

  • Interesting Design.

  • It look`s cool!!!!!!!

  • It has all the features,the only down side is it has only TFT65k resolution.

  • i'm the first!
