  • Hey, could anybody tell me how to fix the EDGE for entire web browsing? When I go to internet I've got EDGE. After a while, it changes to GPRS and it just slows me down! Thanks!

  • I cannot find the headphone for this cell, please help.

  • type *#4777*8665# and click on gprs detach

  • Body: light, comfortable. Display: nice, but a little bit small. Sound: very good sound from loudspeakers. Data: internet speed quite low. Camera: photos are quite good for 2MP; video is poor. Features: calendar - no 'copy' function; 500 entries though. All in all, poor battery (charge at least twice a week), small display, quite good camera and music player, read no higher dimensions than 1600x1200 photos, mean voice and video recordings, no 3.5mm jack and secondary camera. Cheap handset, worth it. Any questions/opinions/comments?..

  • How to disconnect edge / gprs network on a samsung s3550shark?

  • Not bad

  • your date and time may be incorrect

  • Is this phone has Bluetooth Messenger?

  • ive been using it for 4mos, internet connection i suddenly lost access and always service unavailable and connection failure why is it anybody?

  • why is it my samsung 3550 cannot read videos !! wtf !!

  • hi!edgar it is the status of your phone, let's say your phone is on silent mode it will show there a mobile phone icon with a red sign that's on top of the phone just like that of the street signs.. if you're phone's on outdoor mode or vibrate it will also show there a different icon, it's normal and you can't take it off.. ;D

  • got the phone yesterday and i love it!:) just one thing - i got a phone icon on the screen, next to the battery and i have no idea what it means:/ there is nothing about it in the manual, and i can`t find anything in the settings that might turn it off/on. can anybody tell me what it is? in the videos of the phone i`ve seen, there wasn`t that icon next to battery. so there must be a way to take it off or atleast tell me what the hell is that thing ;D

  • just go to Menu>Settings>Call>All calls>Auto reject dn turn off the Activation and from Reject list delete ur friends no.... datz all....:-)

  • in samsung3500i - in the call log, there is an option of 'add to reject list', i added my friends number in that list just to see 'what happens?'. but now i cant get that number out of that list nor can i see the reject list even in the setting, how can i remove that no from the reject list. my friend cannot call me now.. plz help

  • You should buy this one.

  • I got this phone.... its really good, great battery, i just need to buy micro sd card..... in the specification it says it support up to 8gb micro sd, but all micro sd cars more than 4gb are micro sdhc, so will this phone support micro sdhc 4gb or 8gb?

  • i have been using this phone for just 2 days now, from a nokia 5230 which has a big screen, its kinda hard to adjust to this phone, the screen only having 2" display makes it hard for me, cant open some files most especially the pictures, the display is too small for my previous pics, but the 2MP camera works well, the music player still kinda sucks for me because you cant change the details of the song, so arrangement of the songs is messed up, also its random function in the music player is sooo stupid, its so not random, it repeats the same song like 10x again and again, so you really cant rely on the random function, the messaging is okay, my only problem is that not until your phone is finished sending the message, you cant do anything else, you have to wait for it to finish, not like other nokia or SE phones, i like the FAKE CALL function of this phone, :) the buttons are kinda noisy which i dont personally like, but its okay, you could create your own theme which is also cool, i dont like the how you have to copy a file to your phone just so you could use it for an alert or caller ringtone, and the song would be doubled on your playlist, the design is slick, but the battery is kinda short in life, it only takes a whole day, with maybe like 1.5hours of music playing and a little to moderate texting and calling, the loudspeaker is NICE! its even stronger than my nokia 5230 before, haven't tried to use the internet yet because its kind of a hassle, most especially when you got used to a touch phone, all in all, maybe I'll rate it at about 4/5 because im a music person, and the music player is giving me the hell, also it doesnt have a 3.5mm jack, so im stuck with its original headset, i cant find an adapter anywhere which lowers its score for me, also, i cant seem to make it sychronize with my computer, when i connect it to my phone, i have to reset the whole phone just so i could use my headset again, i repeat, RESET, not RESTART, meaning to say, all files saved to the phone has to be deleted and it has to be put to factory settings again... hay... should i buy a SEw595 instead?!

  • mine only lasts for a day... :((

  • I was bye samsung mobil at london?But now i am in india..my Mobil ask password?How to clear the problem?please help me....

  • Great Phone, For everyone asking yes it has internet even shortcuts on the screen for facebook and twitter if you like :) Also very loud, has video rec option and the menu is just great plus it has security lock and it's not expensive 5/5

  • what does it mean with social networking integration with live updates? I can use facebook for free?

  • Just bought one and sort of love it but I can;t get it to connect to PC and kies via bluetooth. Any ideas please? Currently awaiting a USB cable in post to see if that works. Son is talking software problem as he noticed something on initial start up but hoping not to have to take the think back to shop.....

  • yes, it has autoreject

  • has this phone got auto reject? it should be in call settings. plz find out

  • Is there a privacy lock feature in this phone?

  • How many hours does the battery last??

  • Just bought this little phone and normally I can fund SOMETHING I don't like about a phone within 24 hours but this one defies me. I can't find anything I don't like. Not for phone boffins that like all 'fruit and veg' on their phones but for the everyday phone user it's perfect. Good camera. LOUD speaker (so we girls can hear it in our handbag). Light so it doesn't weigh the pocket or handbag down but screen is big and bright enough for my old eyes to see. Plenty of features and most importantly, able to use MP3's for ALL alert tones including messages so we don't have to put up with the rubbish that's provided :) All in all a cracking little everyday phone.

  • Ive bought it. Gr8 low cost phone! On the back on the phone says only MADE BY SAMSUNG without a country name,and i wonder if it is original or copy... Does anybody know to make diffrence between copy and original?

  • Yup saw it on robinson place manila, it's not whitey white more like offwhite though very plasticky white

  • is there really S3550 Shark 3 in white colour? i've never seen even such a picture of this phone

  • i have had this 4n for 4 months nw and i absolutley love it.camera is ok and internet is quite good considering its an edge phone i just got anatha 4n bt i cant stay away from this one i just love it

  • To all the users of Samsung Shark 3, please tell me if this phone is good. Thanks :)

  • definitely worth your money. style is very sleek. music play on a full charge will last about 4 hours. not that bad IMO considering it was not designed to be a music player. the 8GB memory is pretty good too. I have not used it for internet purposes so I can't give my opinion on that one.camera is good for 2MP although video suffers from poor lighting and of course there is no zoom function. my only complain is that it does not have a 3.5mm jack and finding an adapter is very hard. I haven't found one yet. You need a micro-usb(B)to 3.5 adapter for that one. and I can't figure out how to enable Samsung kies. I think its because it's a relatively new release. I always connect it as a mass storage device.

  • just to convince..coz i liked the style of the phone..and the colors.. is this phone cool i mean simply the best..please site a comments to those who are using it..thanks!

  • yep i think it can go on facebook...

  • does this phone support video call??? it has a secondary camera but it's not stated if it supports video call... thanks!!!

  • If you are running Windows 7, we suggest you install the software on compatibility mode. Save the installer on your desktop or any file location first, then right click, select compatibility. choose install as Windows XP or Vista program, put a check mark on Run as Administrator then run the software. On XP though I can't successfully connect the phone to my PC. The USB cable didn't come with the unit so I bought a "China cable". I don't know if its the USB cable, (the phone is charging) or it is not yet fully supported given its release date. anyone can help?

  • Does anyone know is the Kies, application for PC sync, available for Win Vista? I found just the one for XP and it doesn't seam to work on Vista x-(

  • nice. in my country this handset is called the brandon i dont know why though.

  • Can it go on facebook

  • It does have three themes built in, as well as a theme creator.

  • Truely, if you have some more money (100euros or 5900 Indian Rupees) then go for Nokia 7230.. Please search about it..

  • Hi! anyone can tell me does this phone support themes!? and does it come with theme creator?! thanks

  • when was release in india?????tell me plzzzzzzz!!!!!!

  • shah may be you get a valid point.

  • all of these devices are build on basic softwares, i think all of them made to check DNSe stability.

  • I just dont get it?, the shark 3 is basic?, the shark 2 is the king? and the shark 1 is the medium? , I think it should be the 3=king , 2=medium 1=basic. am i right huh who is with me huh who is with me?!!! wonder what samsung is up to?

  • samsung just wont stop making new phones. even though they re just identitical to their previous products

  • 2 camera no
