  • hey i m plannin to buy a new phone do u think i shd go for the phone ........ is it worthy enuf .. i wld b using ita almost all the functions ........ nd does it really have signal reception problem

  • this phone sucks.. i m using for last 8 mths.. first it dont... take all the calls... and u can message to moe then 2 person at a time....!! althought u get 2 battery so back up is good. dont buy this phone plz... dont buy...

  • how can i turn off the click sound of camera completely ? i no want any sound while i click pictures plz ? kindly enlighten me

  • good pda but handwriting is almoust non func tional and as a phone you miss a lot af calls because signal receiving is very weaken

  • This phone is very attractive and the handwriting recognition works amazing. It takes very good pictures and synchronizes with outlook very easily. The only problem, you miss calls. I have had this phone for about 7 months and am extremely aggravated that I paid $400 CAD for a phone that does not receive calls. If you go anywhere near a basement you have no reception. If you want a PDA, buy this phone, but if you want a phone, get anything else.

  • yes u can record the conversation very well...asssign any short-cut key 4 voice recorder as it will b handy..but the recording snapps as any other call comes in..its 1 of the best stylyish phone i used...gret choice 4 office end phones without pinching pocket..but camera is not the best,..minus the flash..even worse..

  • Users with experience on this phone please advise whether you can make voice records of conversation of both parties during a call.

  • WTF,doesn't this phone have Wi-Fi?

  • yes it is windows mobile so show u video without changing its size.

  • plays video without resizing

  • I have been using this phone for almost 5 months now....And just happens now, whenever Im on the phone with some1 I got this buzzy sound...Has any1 here also experienced that?

  • i wont good battery backup and phonebook memory 1000 and fm , bsicfuechers. idint wont camera.

  • good phone with short battery backup it doesnt hav wireless lan i really felt sorry for that

  • I just bought one of the last i718s in the shops as a smaller/lighter replacement for my three year old O2Xda II Mini - same processor but more memory and better functions, camera etc. The O2 was excellent but I dropped it one too many times.... The Samsung seems even better and it was a bargain at less than US$300 (with an extra battery with its own charger/carry case). The screen tap response time is the same as the O2 and faster than the HTC Touch, which was my other option. I had Wifi sdio on the O2 but I never used it so the better processor speed on this Samsung was preferrable to the HTC. Plus the vibe-touch is excellent ! As the review here says, it's a shame it doesn't work for the qwerty keys too. Anyway, great phone if you don't need Wifi etc.

  • Hi all, I am perfectly satisfied with my i710. But the small battery back up is a bit low and it has excellent features. I am using almost all features. If anyone are not satisfied with its video media player. Contact me for and excellent software for free. You can watch a video file as if in the TV.

  • I wanted some feedback on the browser that comes with this phone.Also can Opera be installed in it?

  • I got this phone. Its good if you using all data future if not its wast of money

  • Anyone know how to change language and for the n0bb tat posted the link its for a different phone

  • The time of baterry is very short... but its a nice PDA!!

  • Anyone tried this phone with bluetooth GPS? What software? Thanks.

  • i think it is a good phone for indian user and it have value for many

  • very nice

  • hey i have this phone i would like to know how to change the language from the setting and it is not there, problem is, the phones in french, if someone can help me im dying this phone is great BUT IN FRENCH and i need it in english, thanks alot

  • Yes, edit and view word and excel files, but only Office 2003 version. Documents created by new Office only open if you convert to 2003 version. ;)

  • someone can tel me if thi phone really can view and edit documents from word, excell? tks

  • Hey guys can somebody tell me do i need to have a separate media player o play videos as my samsung i710 doesn't play any video( though i can hear the audio part of the same video clip)

  • Hey Shiv, I 100% agree with your opinion. I'm also gonna put up a video about the cool features. Hey...how did you hook up radio and themed wallpapers?

  • to Shiv did you also have trouble with time delay?

  • THIS PHONE IS GREAT! i just got it today! TIGHT FEATURES *themed wallpaper is animated based on service (good service= clear skies, bad service=Cloudy skies)birds fly during the day and commits during the night.. - and changes on location e.g. USA has the statue of liberty. or like europe would prolly have the leaning tower or something as a wallpaper.. *radio shows what song is playing on the station. artist name and song title * has a flashlight * lots of internal memory * has all the basic features a normal samsung but has more options. -ringtone alarms can be music, stock tones, or dl sounds. * camera is average. but that doesnt matter cuz i have a digi cam. * speakers are pretty loud. overall this phone has cool features and a fantastic design. light weight, thin and smooth slider. the ONLY CON that i ran into so far is the middle 'I' button.. sometimes it gets in the way of scrolling. since its elevated i sometimes push it on accident. >> i will soon post a video on this phone and it's features soon

  • Someone said this has no 3G or EDGE...WRONG! It has EDGE and GSM band 850 supports 3G and above. I am currently on NEXTG in Australia which is three times faster than 3G!!!

  • yes but for all pda they work slow but if you compare to samsung i600 they work very slow if you see his processeur about 400 mhz you see the difference no wifi and no 3g your battery will be more alive i have a programm that you can control the start up programm but if you compare with other pda more fast and very sexy phone

  • To maxx: Did u fix "Time delay problem" on your phone?

  • very nice phone yes we can add a micro SDIO WiFi card to connect on wifi also very style and look phone coast 500 dollars

  • Please stop asking if this phone can be put into English. IT CAN AND HAS BEEN!!! I HAVE IT IN ENGLISH AND AM PLAYING THE BEST PPC GAMES ON IT AS WE SPEAK! Look, rather than everyone emailing me for instructions on how to flash it into English (which you still can if you have no joy after following this link) follow this link and read my forum post on how to flash it into English. I hope it helps....Piers Link is -

  • is this phone in english? someone please tell me..i need a new phone and i saw this one. i looked on youtube an all they have is german an chinese languages advertising the phone..so is it english or not??

  • Does this phone accept Wi-Fi expansion cards?

  • Well,phone is very stylish itself comparing to other smartphones, i like it,i got a programm installed and that allows me type sms in Eng and Russian,i would prefer to change whole menu to Eng but no solution so far.

  • It looks very nice,but has a weak camera and old software,so my n73 is better

  • I tried to get this phone through Popular Electronics.....what an ordeal.....first they said it was stuck in some shipping facility then after weeks of going back and forth they called to say they had it in, were testing it and I'd have it in 3 days. Later I got an email cancelling my order and refunding my money. When I called to find out why, they said that the phone was in French and that they could not, despite working directly with Samsung, change the language to English. I'm disappointed because I really was interested in getting it. I guess now, I'll wait or look at the HTC Kaiser which just came out.

  • anyone know where i can buy this phone right now? I checked Hi-mobile, CTI and those listed beside but they don't have it.

  • My new samsung i710 is in Italian. The manual too is in same language. But i speak English only. Can I get help to change the language into English? Thanks

  • I've seen some places saying that this phone has a 7.2 MP camera while other places say it has a 2.0 MP camera. What is the correct? Thanks

  • Ok someone please help me out here. i just bought this phone but the it's all in french. And i can't figure out how to change the settings to my language. I hope someone can help me out here! Greetings from belgium. "ps i speak dutch"

  • You want help u got it ! In order to fix time delay u need patch from Samsung or a program(SynchroTime)that updates time.... Patch from Samsung (ha-ha-ha) good luck no body knows when it will come out On the other hand basic prog that updates time. BUT u need web/internet settings couse ONLY via internet on your phone u can run it. I got web settings and installed program now there is another problem u have to manualy run it in ordet to fix time delay Now i am looking for program that will automaticaly update time so please be patient i just need a little bit more (time) any questions or suggestions ?!,

  • I have this and it was Chinese only. I have now flashed it with English ROM. If ANYONE wants ENGLISH for this phone, email me and I will point you in the right direction.

  • For the English manual, you can click on the "manual" button at: As for the clock vs. MMS settings, I also have to agree with Jahhim and Tim - the purpose of these sites is to help each other out - "holding back" info to get info isn't in the spirit of these forums.

  • I agree with Jahhim....deizelmax, you post about how to setup mms in other forum dude....u r weird aa......

  • diezelmax, this site is to help each other out. why would you lie about having a fix for the time lose issue in order to obtain settings info? not cool, especialy since if you can't access your mms and web features i highly doubt you have something as complex as the time delay fix.

  • where/how to find/activate the bluetooth? i also need english manual with this...thanks alot guys!!!

  • Same problem also in here. One french friend tried to find it but he failed.

  • please help me!!! how can i turn the menu from france language to english. just i buy the i-710 from france and i need to change the menu to english.

  • first u need mms and wap for cingular/att settings and then ill give u a program to fix time

  • Hi Diezel..... SO which software or where did you download? And No I hqaven't setup MMS.....

  • Its simple just download a program that have an alarm clock. most of them will display clock on today screen. Do u have mms/web settings for Cingular/AT&T?

  • Diezel.. can you please explain to me more...?? thanks

  • does it ring loud...cos most of my samsung phones are not loud enough

  • i got the fix for time loose problem and it WORKS no bs! BUT the only way u can have itis to get me 2 things #1. mms settings cingular/att for i718 #2. web setting cingular/att for i718 and dont forget to include step by step how to do it.

  • just got my i718 i love it ! Perfect size , thin phone w/big screen...great color metalic orange w/black better than my old motorola a1200 Just need settings for web and mms (Cingular/AT&T) cant find it anywere... Please help....

  • whats the diffrence between the black and the orange ?

  • its memory is too little it crashes alot and you have to keep on restarting the handset every time it does, i had this problem with i750, and there it goes again here, otherwise it's a great device

  • I noticed with the time delay issues, if you turn the phone itself off from the Wireless manager (so all other functions but the phone is operating), once you set the time it will be able to "stick". Of course, once you turn the phone back on, you start getting the delay again...wierd, eh?!

  • hi diezel this particular model doesn't have this option????, My old Samsung has it... man i hate this phone b/c clock delay...

  • No flash in this phone!!

  • did u try to turn-off "time auto update", most phones have this option turned-on and if u got unlocked phone from a different market the time zone goes crazy....

  • Can someone clarify that there is or isn't a LED flash present in the phone? On photos of the backside of the i710 I can't see a flash, or they have placed it behind the mirror...?

  • thta one crazy phone

  • There is no flash in the phone. So delete this specification.

  • if sum1 figure out the time delay error please share it. thanks and the battery life is killing me...

  • So I'm not the only one with the time lose/delay on my orange i718. Has anyone seen any possible solution to this problem?

  • Hi Roger.. are you suffering clock delay too?? and I bet you have ORANGE 1 right?

  • very good phone but the battery life time is too short even with the two batteries.roger.

  • does this silver one have english text? or is it strictly all chinese, can you set it to english or you have to buy the orange one?

  • very easy, you just go to word then use stylus pen and there is a keyboard screen just hit letters.

  • to anybody who has this phone how is wrtitng texts and email on this if you use text alot

  • hey V Well I bought this phone for my wife, I bought it from Hongkong website about 2 wks ago I dont think u can get 1 in USA. My wife and I love it. It's not that big very thin and light, I love it but the clock mess up I have to reset it daily. The battery life is not that good(dont even talk about 8.5 hrs). I only make phone call and put in sleep mode set battery save mode change bright into very low, and it takes 2 bars each day and must recharge daily. If i watch video with it I dont think it can stand for 1 hr.

  • tim, you have this phone in orange??/ how is it. is it big. what u think of it. and how is the Windows 5.0 on it> like every other phone?? slow??

  • Can anyone confirm the battery life on this device? Is it truly 8.5 hours? and what about the standby time? Thanks in advance

  • I have this phone in Orange but I have to reset time everydays. Does anyone have this same problem? or how to fix it? I live in Central US. And I did set the region time zone into US and etc. but no luck? any help?? thanks Orange for international users and Silver for Chinese Only....

  • to bad no wifi i750 still the best

  • your right, we need a review or even just a few comments from some owners, can anyone please tell us what are the good sides and the bad sides?PLEASE?

  • we need a review on this, or at least some comments from people who have the phone, common now!

  • To: Shawn - where did you get your unit (country?). I think it's not yet available here in Saudi Arabia or in the middle east.

  • Hi shawn, Is the jack 2.5/3.5mm? Do you have the orange or silver ones? Where did you buy it? Thanks!

  • just got this one for $430. isn't that an incredible price for a phone like this?? Only samsung can do this.

  • symbian is linux

  • No on the 3.5, $500-700 on price range.

  • Hi Do you guys think that the Orange or the Silver ones look better? Seems like the silver ones are not that common around ...

  • Why isnt there any i710 users posting their comments here? No english review too! The chinese review is brief and not detailed. I dont think it's that hard to get your hands on this phone.

  • Does it support 3.5mm jack for headphones? Whats the price range?

  • no my dear friend it is not a slider phone, its a bar type with touch screen

  • is this phone a slide phone....can somebody tell me please......

  • beware windows os will always get u freezed... just like nokia simbian os... mine always freezed... that's why I got e6 and I never have any freeze problems.. (linux os)

  • does this phone have a tv out??

  • I looks this phone is cool. Does anybody knows if this is already available in Saudi Arabia?

  • ..and here is the chinese version i718

  • The yet to be released i760 is a slider with qwerty keyboard. Check the pics:

  • I would buy this in a heart beat if it had WiFi.

  • No this is not a slider! Its just as you see it with touch screen functionality. And NO this unit doesnt have WiFi. Maybe on the next version.

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone is a slider? I saw in a stora a phone made by samsung that looked pretty much just like this one, and that was a slider. ( I am very shore because I held it in my hand ). I am very confused. Anyway, this is a great phone.

  • I currently using the E898 which I already think is good...and this should be my next upgrade... hope this phone or future phone has the wifi ready.....

  • Like I said, I'm going to sell the HTC P3600 for this, and yes all because its thinner and looks damn good! I dnt use 3G or WiFi as I have an unlimited web n walk plan with t-mobile, so all I need for that is GPRS! I'm still going to be able to do all the things that I normally do with my HTC P3600! Just face it buddy, there's a market out there for this device.

  • Interesting It says it is a windoes OS and you want to get it without wifi or 3g remind me again why you want to purchase this one instead of HTC, qtek, imate just beacuse it is thinner

  • This phone looks so cool and at just 13.5 mm's in thickness who cares what it looks like? I have a P3600 and a P3300 and I'm going to sell the P3600 for this without thinking twice! I dont need no wifi, or edge or even bloody bluetooth! I just want a pocket PC which actually fits into my pocket. That I can use as a phone and thats it. I think Samsung have done a good thing leaving all those things out as I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would buy this just for its simple pocket pc functionality. I would have liked WM6 as it is becoming the standard now so a minus point there for sure but I'm willing to try it out. Plus I've seen and heard that WM6 is just a flashier version of WM5 with vista looking menus and wallpapers etc. Other than that I've heard its nothing special. On ebay these are currently selling for �399 and one seller in America is selling them for about $580 dollars which amount up to around �300 including delivery. Not bad. But his got a lot of negative feedback which is quite worrying! One more thing: No wifi, no edge, no GPS = LONGER BATTERY LIFE :D

  • only 2mp ,and no wifi !!!!! samsung i750 still the best

  • MS WM6.0 has just been anounced and should be appearing on phones in Q2/Q3 2007.

  • Since it features to be a pocket pc, it should have Edge and WiFi!!! But still, I want to try it out. Also, will it be a slide? If yes, it'll be a very tight keypad!

  • I dont think this phone will be slider. Because it couldnt hide a keyboard under there nor a keypad that would slide closed that way. The phone is simply touch screen.

  • if you look at the specs it says 'TFT Touchscreen'

  • can anyone plz tell me is it slider phone i know it is touch screen is it slider or not?plz reply to my question.

  • Guys, i tell yo why this phone lacks connectivity. Because it is for people who wan to buy small PPC phones,,

  • this is good ppc with nice design

  • No, Windows Mobile 6 code name is WM 5.2 WM 6.0 will come in 2009

  • What a lame phone. Does samsung ever do good marketing strategies. Nobody wants a pda phone with no WIFI/3G/EDGE and WM 5.0? The 6.0 is becoming the standard now, why aren't they using it?

  • yeah right no need to think about nokia well i m waiting for F700 Its awsome lookwise wat do u ppl say abt it ? should i buy that 1 !

  • No 3G or Wifi on a smartphone, pass.

  • A smart phone without Edge or 3G or Wlan...I must say, thats stupid. Otherwise it looks cool.

  • Windows Mobile, touch screen, 14 mm thickness, 109 g weight, 400 Hz CPU, WMP 10, no reason for thinking about NOKIA
