  • Hi, I own one and it does have a video call facility, I have tried using it with my friend.

  • does it really support video calls?

  • Hi, Try to borrow a battery from your friend who has U900 same as yours, then try to turn it on. It might be just a battery life comes to an end. or buy a battery online on ebay, its very cheap, if it does not work, you may sell it again. so not much lost. If still not work, contact me for a repair :) only £10.00 charge.

  • my phone got drained the other night. early in the morning, i charge it but after 1 hour, i turned on my phone to check if i do have unread messages unfortunately, i couldnt turn it on..i dont know what's wrong with my phone!help! anyone?

  • it does support video calls

  • This phone is great, even if it's 4 years old now. Excellent screen, The camera still rivals a Samsung Galaxy S / S Plus, the interface is simple and the touchpad works great. Battery life was and is excellent even after years of use.

  • Can I use the internet?

  • it coudnt support video call

  • This phone SUCKS! The screen is so tiny, font size is tiny and not adjustable. The theme creator is crap coz the themes are not visible in sunlight. Battery life is poor and the touch pad is not very responsive and not user friendly. The only good thing about this phone is the apparent design, which i dispute because it's butt ugly when the display is off!

  • This phone SUCKS! The screen is so tiny, which would have been fine if you could adjust the font size, but you cant. It's so tiny and barely readable. The theme creator is crap, the themes are not legible in sunlight. The keypad is so stiff and it hurts to type long texts. The touch pad chooses to be unresponsive sometimes and it's frustrating and not user friendly. The only good thing about this phone apparently is the design, which I dispute because it's butt ugly when the display is off!

  • reflash it :D

  • just planning to get 1

  • whn i take pictures with the camera.the phone goes off.so what shld i do?

  • I have this phone and it is simply the toughest phone i have owned plus its feature packed

  • Ya it can switch . yhere is a switch button on the top right corner of the keypad. u can use that for switching between the apps.

  • memory:100mb for app

  • this samsung is no good. I use only for 4 days and the keypad is already cannot function well. then when i go for waranty they keep my phone for 2 weeks but at the end cannot settle the problem and as a 'bonus' for me, the touch screen also became useless maybe because of the ribbon.

  • pls i need, ur help! Can a user of this fone tell me 1.if this fone can multitask(or minimize java apps or pause/hold without closing) 2.How much memory is available 4 java apps(is it 4mb or more).

  • it does not not support a whole lot of applications too.

  • is this phone worth buying??

  • are you saying bad phone for just a cable ??? it's cheap and has 3g it cost me about 50$ but battery :(

  • my fon is not charging again. Bad phone

  • its battery is terrible i use 3 batteries but it sucks

  • For some reason my phone wont vibrate! It vibrated awhile ago. I was calling myself to pick which vibration i want but after that it stopped vibrating anyone know why my phone isnt vibrating :

  • its touch screen and sliding lid create problem in 8 to 9 mnths..only picture quality is good..!! Do not invest ur thousandS to buy this set..!! samsung is worst in high range mobile services..!!

  • the phone is a nice one.. but by problem is the battery it does not last at all for me.. so if need to be solved

  • Nice phone but flex problem after just 2 weeks of purchase. Very sensitive gadget

  • This Phone Sucks! I bloody hell wasted so much money on it and it crashed down within 1 year. Sent for repair at least 10 times. They dont even sell it anymore. Review: -Image quality: Good -Other features: very very very low end and bad

  • it can

  • you cant find theme for u900 because u create the theme in ur phone

  • This phone is great, J have it for 3 months now and J have nothing bad to say about it

  • it's a good looking and very sophisticated phone. only that you tend to be so careful for you think it may break anytime it will fall. one disadvantage is you can't change your phone case all the time because it's too expensive to do so.

  • does any1 know where you can buy this handset cheap in the uk ?? :)

  • hey,if anybody answer to the question?about the theme?I cant find any theme for samsung u-900.

  • this phone sucks its flex is reaaaaally tacky.

  • this is the best phone ever. I just got it from my dad, who has been using it for more than a year. I love its 5.0 megapixel camera, can't stop taking pictures and for the fact that you can edit your pictures and video. I'm getting to know it day by day and so far, i give it high five.

  • i can't install any of programs i've downloaded,why is that??? sorry about my english...:D

  • is this phone can support video call? because i've a problem with samsung type to make a video call

  • Does this phone support external themes ? and if yes then from where can i get the themes that support Samsung SGH U900 ? thanks in advance for replying :-)

  • Iv had the same problem with a few of my Samsungs, no idea what its from...

  • ive got my phone over 2 years now and its quite easily the best phone i have ever had, but as of last week i've been having a problem, when making a call the call connects but i cant hear it ringing on the other line through my ear piece or hear the other person on the other line that im calling. when i receive calls its fine, i can hear everything perfectly, its only when i make the call that i cant. my alarm etc works fine but i also cannot play any music at all from my music player. someone please help???

  • I need help! I can only save around 200 messages. I have a 2GB memory card but this makes no difference as I am only able to save most of my messages to the phone and a few on my sim card. I therefore have to constantly delete messages to free my inbox. I'm hoping there's a way to save sms messages to my memory card!! Is there ?

  • Great phone, lots of freedom in regards to customizing the colours etc. of the screen, and works perfectly in all areas. Lovely style also x

  • I like dat phone

  • where is the link did u send me a link???

  • hi ya sure u can install it just go to the link and setup the program usa jar type and enjoy ur chatting

  • Hello Every one Could anybody plz tell me that can we install Nimbuzz in this phone if possibe then how to do it? help me plz waiting for your kind response!

  • The U900V s wot I have is it the same wif this one. anyway i love the one I have.

  • Try the following steps :) 1.go to My computers 2.click on tools on top of the window 3.Goto Folder options and go on the view tab. Now scroll down to hide extensions for known file types and make sure its UNCHECKED. (This will show all extensions like .html .exe .rar etc after name of file.) 4.now right click anywhere >>new >>text document. now copy paste this in the newly created document: install ***.jar where the *** is replace with name of the game or applicaton (to get correct name right click on ***.jar file and copy the title) eg: for installing opera mini my code will look like this: install opera.jar where opera.jar is the name of app i want to install now save the text document and save it as anything.html Now tranfer this .html file along with .jar to your phone via USB or bluetooh now press on the application or game and it will be installed

  • why can't i download games and applications on my phone?its very disappointing..could you please help me with this.

  • WOW!! man i can't believe there are still some people with this much of knowledge on this website! where should i start?! can you tell the differences between Smartphones and feature phones?i don't think so!because if you could recognize the two then you should known how stupid this word was! there are multiple samples to discuss but here is two from unlimited: Samsung Galaxy A(http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a-3294.­php) Nokia C1-00(http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_c1_00-3364.p­hp) You know,when you shouldn't say something,you shouldn't say something. ...Cheers from Germany.

  • Why is all samsung phone book entry does not excide 1000 entries unlike other phones like nokia that has unlimited phone book entries. I hate samsung phones for that reason

  • thats because the lens will not capture anything if it is inside

  • A very good phone i have had it for about 2 years and to be truthfull it messed up 2 months ago...the hang up button has stopped working and the screen is all mumbo jumbo but while it was working it was a very good phone indeed..you canot download games from the internet as on all samsungs there is a device that stops you

  • ribon problem

  • i've had this phone for two year and have changed the ribbon three time

  • Fantastic phone. I've had mine for almost 2 years without any issues. Just a note on the battery life- to maximise battery life take the network mode of automatic and switch it to any other mode than UMTS (3G). The battery will last up to five days! It does slow down internet connectivity however, so if you're on the net alot, you'll just have to live with the short battery life.

  • this is all meant to reduce the phone's power consumption thats why when you get the first notice that your battery is low the phone screen becomes dim

  • its a awesome fone. the only one il ever want . my only problem with it is that the ribbon inside seems to be very weak as it keeps breaking and then has to be sent in for repair

  • my slide seems inactive. when i slide it up, it doesnt unlock, and when i press the dedicated camera key it tells me to slide up. is there any help i can get????? please help me

  • I am surprized how pathetic is internet using experience, nobody commented on it :(

  • guys where can get this phone again coz i once had it but now is longer available in S.A?

  • hey ive had the same problem happening only of recent and it only chooses to light up the screen sometimes but now its not lighting up at all :( if u do find out please tell me

  • I hate this mobile phone because i don't have it .......... :-(

  • i love this mobile but i have one chip problem.............................sliding chip

  • This phone is amazing. I've had it for almost two years now but the screen stopped working recently. Other than that- no complaints- touch was great and the phone is fast enough.

  • i have my phone now 4 3 years and the first day i got it i dropped it in a bucket off water. ived put it in the sun to dry and it still works perfectly like the day i got him.... awesome phone

  • Change the Flexy (Ribbon)

  • Change the Flexy (Ribbon)

  • ive got this phone almost 2 years now, only problem ive had is the display screen started acting up and going blank, i sent it in and its been great ever since, the battery life isnt perfect but its an awesome phone, even got run over by a car lol and came out with only a few scratches, it still works perfectly. now my problem is finding another phone as good as this one...

  • i got this phone for 2-3 years. i dropped it a few times and it's still as awesome as ever. touch screen works fine with me.

  • i have same problem do u know how 2 fix it

  • I ve had this phone for a year and some months, stopd ringing, colour has become greenish blue and i cant hear anything. is there hope of repairing or this is it?

  • can someone tell me what is the maximum music listening time??? i mean how long can this phone play music with one full charge???

  • i have this phone 1.6 month and stop working the speaker , the color on screen has broken all show me blue

  • my touch panel has stopped working, it always seems to play up when the weather gets too hot, i cant use the phone without the touch panel, what should i do?

  • this phone is awesome .. i mean few months bak i dropped it and tht is the reason it stucked but i really miss this phone i had in pink n the camera is awesome . i really miss it .. it is an awesome phonee

  • For your second problem you have to send your mobile to the service to change the cable which connects the upper with the lower part of the phone. Had the same problem after 1 year of having this phone. Send it back and now it's ok.

  • i have been having this phone for almost eight months now and it fell two months ago. the screen is black and connot see anything on it. i just want to know if there is any serious damage to it or if i should just insrt another lcd and if so how much does it cost

  • uhmm,well i had this phone for about a year and i love the camera but there are 2 problems 1. the touch panel became black 2. when i slide up the phone the screen will become blue. but all in all,i love it.it just needs a repair:)

  • Does anyone know, if the front camera of this phone can used to take a picture?

  • Touch panel needs replacement. Thats all it needs.

  • These are the problems with this great phone. The ribbon and the touch panel fail after 2 years. You have to replace it. The agents have the parts. Lousy housing too, thou its metal, the metal coating peels off!!!

  • Nice phone,easy to use, brilliant camara,low sound is a promblem, but can be solved by converting sound high quality.

  • Hi People you cant use a cellphonef for more than 2 years. Take my advice as as I know it does not matter which phone is it

  • darn it... my screen and touch panel all turn into black screen now... i guess it's time to trade it in, or send it for repair. sigh

  • Was your problem resolved?? because im having the same problem with my Samsung U900,got the phone for abt 2yrs now

  • why is the scrrn get black when i get a call

  • yes, i have the same trouble with the light intensity on the touch panel. it became so faint until i can hardly to see the icon. and now, the touch screen is giving me trouble. it didn't response to any touch when i slide up my phone...and the warranty period has just over :(

  • I've had this phone for a year now. It's been a great experience. The only thing I'm having trouble right now is the TOUCH PANEL... it lights up, but the intensity has become VERY weak... i almost don't see the icons and bottons on the TOUCH PANEL... I think it is because i've used it too much and it's getting old... Can I fix this? What do you think? If that happened to you or you know from someone else, please reply this post!

  • Hey! This happened to mine. I got it fixed at the shop, cost $65 Aust dollars. All it is, is the connection wire behind the screen because the phone is getting old, the cord is streched.

  • Ive had the Samsung soul for a year now and can honestly say i love this wee phone. it has touch screen and buttons for ease of txting. it has been reliable and looks great (i think anyway!) Ive had no problems with it to date and am struggling to find a phone to replace it as im due an upgrade soon! The only one downside i mite say is that the music is quite low and could do with speakers attached, other than that its been a loyal companion and a phone i can depend on :)

  • Help! I deleted my connection settings and my browser won't work anymore :( Can someone tell me how to fix it back? Does it matter if I am on Orange Romania?

  • i thought this was the best phone ever because i enjoy doing the background wall papers and themes and i like the touch screen pannel but then after 3 mo. the ribbon get cuit for some reasons i dont know.. then the screen turn blank it can recieve text and call but you cant see it,,,so i realize its not worth the price!!

  • I had D820 Samsung which was suck all the way and a friend gave me this U900 now which is newer model (I thought it's better just to find out it suck like most probably most samsung cellphones. I'll vow here to never buy any samsung product again, since there are so many great products up there and no need to get stuck with bad company!

  • Hi, I want to post a short review of the u900 soul since i see many negative reviews with this in many blogs. First of all i've been using it for almost 3 months now and i must say i am satisfied with this mobile. Yes this one doesn't have the best battery back up but once you see through and work around its weak points, this is the mobile which really boosts your style factor wherever you go. First of all, this is the most sexy phone with a great form factor, especially the black one which i use, looks very sexy with its inbuilt wallpapers and the slide is a treat to use, very smooth. The camera is 5MP and is at par with the high end mobiles. Regarding battery backup, i found it wasn't lasting for a day at first but once i had it charging for 16-20 hours which is highly recommended for new mobiles, i found is holds on for 2-3 days of normal use. Ya, its not meant for long hours of gaming or music. But all in all, though priced on the high, this mobile is not worth all the negative reviews.

  • I have had my phone for 12 months now, two days ago it just went blank on me.I switched it off and tried to switch it on again but nothing.The touch screen panel is not working ,however i can receive calls but im unable to access my menu.If anyone can assist on how i should sort it out ,i would really appreciate it. 0825566187

  • My phone sound is muted

  • Hi every1 :) I am facing some problems with my phone browser. I don't know how to fix it. Each time I enter an internet based app like the preinstalled google it shows empty and it always shows a message to define my conection settings. I think I erased my conection setting but I don't recall doing such thing. And I don't know how to set a new connection because it requires stuff like proxy adress and I don't know things like these :P So can some1 help me in telling what should I d to fix this? :)

  • I used this samsung for 14 months , it's wonderful! .. really good , but to be honest it has two defects .. first the voice is not good .. i mean it is low a little , second the battery doesn't remain much time in my opinion - it remains for about 2 days at the most if u didn't use it .. but if u did! , u'll have to recharge it in the same day . that's all !

  • where can i find a repair shop for samsung u900 mine accidently slidding thing broke but the phone still good

  • can someone help me.. im having problem with the playlist. whenever i tried to put songs to my playlist. i just have to search it on all the files/song i have. i have samsung e250 and i dont have any problem like this on e250.

  • (+) Excellent phone, outstanding camera, great keypad and touchpad, user-friendly OS, good battery. Runs Opera Mini etc. smoothly. (-) Max sound level is low. While phone is very sturdy, its internals are not: The display ribbon (which slides when you open the phone) will break in 1-1 1/2 years. Seen this many times. Otherwise great phone.

  • Hii.. i'd like to buy this phone..coz the camera is very good, isn't it?? what about the battery life?

  • i got repaired 3x in present because of the flex/ribbon... i think after a week/s i need to go again to the shop.. i spend a little money already just to fix the flex/ribbon.. and i think i'll spend more.. sighed!! im using this phone 2 mos.. planning to sell it if it broke again.. good phone tho.

  • gr8 fone!!!!!!!!!!

  • The phone is garbage and wouldn't have a replacement even if it was free.

  • Best Phone in the world

  • Not good phone.

  • this mobile is the firist one and excelent mobile on the world

  • I live in the us and currently have the lg kf510 which sucks and i want to know if this phone will allow me to send picture messages cause i cant now because of the phone i have but i could before on my se w580i.

  • does anyone know what the factory settings are for the pin no

  • i want 2 dowload games and i cant please i need anyons help

  • This device is a great example of how to build a device. apart from the rear casing which is prone to scratches, the lack of vga video recording and no wi fi, there is nothing to complain about this . if you can still get hold of one you won't be disappointed and as many users and this review points out it takes very very good photos.

  • using this phone for 1 year and 10 months,it's nice and the touch panel is awsome.keyboard and LCD ar just great and the camera eats n85 by a sec!! overall every major thing(clear and loud caller voice,mega ton camera,easy interface,interesting touch panel and lovely colors and LCD and keyboard)are just ok.finally it's worth every cent of ur money.

  • i just want to know.. is d phone really dat bad??? i am planning to buy it and i want to know if i will get my moneys worth..........tanx in advance

  • I'm using it for many months. Its awsome but the only problem I'm facing is that the sound is really low. I'm talking about the caller's sound. I barely hear clear voice when someone calls me. I'm afraid that if I am the only user facing this problem :( Is there any solution for this? The volume level is set to 7, which means its the highest.

  • I have tried for ever to get an email alert tone. I have been onto samsung and they say that you cant set one. I have to go onto laptop to receive my email sent from my phone. Ridiculous isnt it. Ann

  • My soul is on T,mobile and if you go onto their website on your phone you search for free mobile phone games. Im sure whichever network you are on you could do this. I have several games on mine and enjoy playing. Hope this helps. Ann

  • I have had the Samsung U900 Soul for 18 months on contract now. I have found it amazingly easy to use and very reliable. Its very stylish and most of my friends commented on how unusual the features were. I am a heavy mobile phone user and would recommend this phone to anyone.

  • can anyone tell me how i can block a nummber from txing me ,thanks

  • how much memory can it support?????

  • does it has a 3.5mm jack converter?

  • a top of the range phone, had it break 2 times, but that was due to the front panel they give me wich was poor, if you buy it make sure you got the front panel with the black thumb space and not the silver as the nlack one is alot more secure and doesnt break like the silver one does,

  • to install Java game, you need BOTH jad file and jar file. BOTH!!! if you already have jar file, get the program called "jad maker". that makes jad file out of jar file. you have to put both file into cellphone, select jad file to install.

  • Should I buy the samsung U900 soul? I read the reviews and some said that it's horrible but some said it's really good. o.0

  • The phone looks great, camera is also great, but is was broken in 4 months. I went for 6 weeks on vacation to morocco and because in casablanca it was really hot, the lcd-screen broke wen I left it for a few minutes in the sun.

  • This fone is superb by the way yes there is a secondary camera, The ony problem I have with this phone is it sometimes does not connect to the PC, and that fustrate me. beside that it a good fone.

  • i try to install program with jar extension and the phone reply me with "unsupported file type" why it happens in java OS phone? thx for the enlightenment

  • I have to say this is the worst phone I have ever owned in 23 years of owning a phone.Now back with the repairer for the 4th time same fault last three times fault still not resolved.Was 2 months last time it was "repaired". Totally fed up with the service.The present fault is when making a call the third party cannot hear what I am saying, Not what I expected of a so called top phone.

  • hi how do i unlock my samsung soul puk code

  • i also own or did own a u900 and tried a new battery but life was only about half a day after 3 calls .send it back and demand to have it changed for something more suitable. mine was thru virgin australia and they have been very helpful so far.

  • Hi guys I'm from Indonesia, please help Im wondering is U900 Soul equipped with secondary camera for video call or not? In the "phone specifications" part 'secondary camera' it says "yes" but I cant see any camera on the front part of the phone, above the display screen usually right? Perhaps my eyes are so bad or what? thx a lot!

  • Thanks but the specification says u900t is thicker than original u900 so i was wondering is there any other differences. If you know please help me.

  • your phone should have a 12month warranty! I would take it back to place of purchase or a samsung repair centre.

  • There isnt a difference with the U900T, U900V or the U900 The (t telstra) has been preloaded with Telstra Software. The (V Vodafone) has been loaded with Vodafone software. and the standard U900 has not got carriers software loaded. Hope this helps?

  • הsamsung u900 הוא פאלאפון טוב

  • hi I got samsung u900 just this friday and my battery's charge doesn't last a day. What should I do?

  • Guys can some one tell me is there any difference between u900 and u900t(telstra)? I mean sound quality or picture quality? In my country an unlocked u900t is cheaper than normal u900 so i want to buy u900t but i want to know is there any difference. Someone please help. Thanks in advance.

  • hi carol i too have the same problem as you,its really annoying isnt it ,but sorry i havnt found out how to solve it,sorry

  • If you go into your profile selected go to keypad tone scroll down to phone sound volume and press the volume key on the left hand side of the phone and will go to mute. Your keys will not make a sound GREAT AT LAST

  • How do you put the keys on silent when pressing

  • your flex is damage hmmmmm even u upgrade it(i think theres no upgrade for for this unit) still no display

  • Hi All, I have been using the U900 Soul since 1 year. But recently, I am having problems with the mobile during calls. I cant hear the person on the other side, unless I use an earphone. Can anyone please suggest why this happening, and how I can resolve this. Thanks.

  • To use photo slideshow wallpaper with a picture u want, just copy or move your pictures from images folder to camera album folder in phone memory

  • Hi, have you had any help regarding your display issues? I have dropped my fone on concrete several times and lastnight the display has disappearred on main panel and touch display!:(...Can it be fixed by upgrading software? I have to keep turning it on and off to get the display going again....SIGH!:( i want my fone working again.....

  • The U900 OLED touch pad supports a variety of colors but unfortunately not the red and purple ones. U can make it white if u set the color intensity to the highest. So there is no red :( and as for purple,it doesn't matter what u do it just doesn't show the color u want (just a little pink color which just doesn't look good). So I am sorry but this is a problem seen in every soul out there. As for the photo slide wallpaper,yes it only lets u add the pictures (via the camera) in the moment u accesed the photo slide desktop view. I hope I made some things clear :)

  • Hi everyone. I've had this phone for 6 months now. I'm pretty happy with it. Just have a few questions: my touchscreen doesn't have all the colours, I mean, I have the blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange. But I have no red (and the screen says I do), purple and white. In a few colours it has blurred the touchscreen, manily in orange. Did that happened to you? Do you have all the colours in your touchscreen including red, purple and white? On the other hand I've been trying really hard to put a presentation of photos on my wallpaper, because it says it allowes it, but i have had some problems because it makes me take photos at the instant to put them on my wallpaper. It doesn't leave me pick photos already taken, that are on my album, wether they are on my memory card or in the memory of the phone. Does anyone else have a problem with presentation of photos as a wallpaper? i would really appreciate your answer! thanks a lot!

  • Love my Samsung fone had it 17 months now. I use predictive txt how can i save words and delete words that pop up. If i type in 'is' 47 comes up and if i type in 'at' CV comes up. Can anyone help? Many thanks

  • Thanks a lot guys,u really helped me out :) Had this Soul for 3 weeks already and so far so good,everything is briliant! My batery lasts for 2-2.5 days with moderate use(1 hour of music,watching a movie,5-6 calls,just playing around with it) and that is very satisfying for me!:) The camera is superb,it has loads of features. The only thing that makes it drop some points is the somewhat poor speaker:( I tryed the volume enhancing code to increase to 4.5 db but the sound distorts pretty bad after that.But I am fine with that because I don't really listen to music on speakerphone too much. Some people say that they constantly miss calls because of the phone's weak speaker.Well I beg to differ! Even on the street with intence traffic I can still hear it + it has a vibrator(not extremely vibrant but OK) so missing a call is probably out of the question(4 me at least). Also I am very anoyed by the fact that I don't have any games on it >:( In the GSMArena review they stated that the phone comes preinstalled with some games(at least trial versions) but I searched EVERYWHERE but I can't find any. I tryed downloading some games from the net but the JAR. file is unsuported :( So if anyone can guide me on how to download and install some games on my Soul it would be very sweet:) P.S. Sorry for the long post.

  • Download Aieesoft Video Converter Convert desired video to samsung MP4 do not change default settings it will be done

  • u900camera restart

  • we can creating wlan to Samsung U900 Soul

  • This is the worst phone I have ever had 1. It is terribly slow, response time is frustrating 2. The screen and back plate scratches easily 3. The touch pad interface is a gimmick and buttons work much better. 4. Reception is awful. The U900 shows "No reception" when all Nokias in the same spot shows 80% reception strength. Because of this, I will not buy a Samsung again. Their inferior antenna design and slow microprocessor will only damage the brand.

  • download format factory, just type in to google search. it is a free software but it is more than any expensive software available. i've tried a lot of software whether expensive or cheap, non of them get close to this magnificent free sofware. good luck. email me if you have other questin: [email protected]

  • settings> security> privacy lock

  • Oh cmon...isn't there someone who can answer my question? I downloaded a video converter and managed to convert my xvid movie into MP4 but I think I set it up wrong because the audio went way ahead of the video. Um,I am a girl and I am not so good at this stuf so if someone could explain me how to set the bitrate and ratio and ,well,I don't know those things. Again help will be very appreciated.

  • So nobody answeres my question? Sad :(

  • ouch i put a four digit code on for my messaging but forgot it how do i remove it ??

  • This is the best phone i,ve ever had. There is no problem in this phone,Ithink this phone works really good.

  • Can I play a full lenght movie on this phone? I read the review and they say u only have to convert you're videos to mpeg4 format. Can someone be kind enough to explain to cive me a link to a video converter?Also if u convert a video don't you have to input some resolution or fps or I don't know,something for the movie to fit the screen? Help will be very apreciated :)

  • Deffinetly the samsung u900 soul. I'm not saying the c902 is not good,but the Soul is a lot more fun. + It gives u a class that Sony E will never gain in their handsets.

  • I've had the phone for several months and it works really well with one exception - the reception is poor compared to other phones in the same location. Other than that, it's a cracking phone.

  • shut it fatty

We are using this fone for the last one year and its excellent... You better get out of here. You dont have the right to post your opinion. YOu so lame that you cant even touch this thing... OMG wash your hands before you touch this fone ever, otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • please inform me whether it has good sond volume

  • i wanted to buy this phone by seeing this promo till now i didn't use any phone like this,by reading opinions i was in dilema wheather to buy it or not please suggest me.please........my choice depends on you

  • people are just jealous

  • I've had this phone for about a year now, and I'm suprised at some of the complaints. I've dropped it countless times, got it wet many times as well, use it all the time and it still works fine. minimal body wear, no display or performance problems, the slide mechanism still works like new as well. In fact I havent had to reboot it at all since the day I bought it! Definitely not up to the standards of todays smart phones, but still well worth the current going price.

  • Had this phone for 8 mon and i dont understand where all of these bad reviews are coming from the phone works perfectly is lightning fast has never froze and the battery lasts a long time great phone super happy

  • I've had this phone for 7 months, and I love it. The camera is very good, and also the touch-screen. It's very sleek and sophisticated. Overall, I think it's perfect. It's a lot of fun, too!

  • Good phone if ya ask me ive had my one for five months. (battery lasts longer when you update the sofware tho)

  • well I'v got the black version of this phone and the battery lasts for over a week if im not using it. Its a very reliable little phone, very impressed indeed

  • figure out how to use the phone

  • mines a picec of crap

  • When I download the software from Disc The download bombs out at File 180 of 240! In consequence I cannot use all the features advertised. Is there anyone who has solved the problem?

  • Your sollution, TURN UR SCREENSAVER OFF!! That way even if you use ur phone the bat will last.

  • OH AND ALSO! The battery is possibly the weakest in existence: if you have the phone on all day, keypad locked and screensaver activated, and do absolutely nothing with it, the battery, even after a full night's charge, still only last out most of the day. Like they said in one of the full reviews, it's a high power machine with a pissweak battery.

  • This phone is a piece of JUNK. I had to get the first one I got (from the plan) because the touchscreen buttons were setting themselves different vibration levels. The replacement came, looked just as pretty, just as annoying to use, and then a few weeks in, both the primary and videocall cameras stopped working altogether. Three months down the track and since then, the screen has decided it should stop working when the phone is slid open, and glitches like all hell. The keys are weak and after a small amount of light use, become noisier and noisier, faultier and faultier. The phone, as a whole, should disappear off the face of the earth, it's NOT worth $750 Australian; it's not even worth a test run.

  • I love my phone, its awesome, i was wondering if anyone can give me some nice wap sites where i can download themes, ive tried everywhere with no success.

  • i have it for 8 months and havn't experience any trouble with the unit. I've recommend this to my friends and they own one! Great phone and features.

  • This phone has anoyed me, i have had it for 6 months and the LCD blew for some reason lol, dont get it, looks good, camara good , touch pad good, freezes lots, breaks easy and just generally pisses me off lol

  • This phone has anoyed me, i have had it for 6 months and the LCD blew for some reason lol, dont get it, looks good, camara good , touch pad good, freezes lots, breaks easy and just generally pisses me off lol

  • Its a very nice phone, but sometimes it automatically reboots while talking.

  • Great looking phone but its not all that it promises to be. Yeh great camera and the whole touch panel thing is marvelous but the battery doesnt last, it breaks easily it freezes like hell-to think iv only had it since May 2009.

  • been using samsung soul u900 for 6 months now and i dont have any problem with the phone. i super love and adore it..good job samsung..

  • this phone rox!!!! i love it i had it for 2 years and it has just a couple of scratches but the phone is awesome and u can video chat with people amazing

  • If you dont like the phone, then why would you buy it over and over again? Stop complaining about it and buy a new, different phone!!!

  • If anyone could help me i would appreciate it. How do one get an e-mail notification like a sms on your phone(U900) to inform you of any e-mails received on a yahoo address without going to the internet and login on my yahoo mail? Any settings i can check or suggestions?

  • o I'd like to mention that the in-buit browser totally sucks. i downloaded opera mini and its much better now. I dont use the internet-on-the-go a lot but once I did and the back kinda heated up. not the battery part but below it. possibly the processor? i love my phone for pictures but i wouldnt recommend it for heavy mobile-internet users.

  • had this phone since december [christmas gift]. the slide mechanism feels really good and strong. people do complain about the weight but for me thats one of the strong points. the phone looks great as well with the brushed stainless steel etc. and its fallen quiet a lot of time but no problems. it was very concerning when once fell down the stairs with the slider open but its still in good condition. i just love the feature that you can charge by connecting the phone to PC with USB! any questions people?

  • its a great phone for me.some one may not handle it properly so they claim...........

  • Sam, you're quite right, it's due to using the full features of the phone. I'd been using my laptop all along and recently started using the phone heavily for things like the internet and it's falling apart...

  • I've had the phone for about 10 months now and it's misbehaving already. I seriously expected better from Samsung especially for the price. The touchpad is non-responsive and sometimes the keypad too but not as often as the touchpad. I'm buying another phone as a result with all these fancy things.

  • i cant see how everyone thinks this is a good phone.i am on my 4th one already. if you use the full features on the phone such as the internet u will see how rubbish it is. this is the worse samsung they have ever brought out!!!!!!!

  • Hey, quick question. On your samsung u900 soul, does the light behind the soft keys stay on even when the phone is closed and on standby? Mine does and it's not a problem but I'm wondering if it can be turned off to save battery life or something.

  • .....and the slide mechanism.

  • Hey Leslie, wow I can't believe you found that comment of mine from back in December of last year! I completely forgot about it. Anyway, my comment still stands. The battery life (for me) is superb. With intense usage, 2-3 days, average usage, 5 days and little usage, most of the time just over a week. I'm not sure why many say their U900 lasts a couple of days even with moderate usage. It could be that we perceive our levels of usage differently, OR that the battery is faulty. I'm not sure, but I'll give you a pointer if you want longer battery life. -LEAVE YOUR PHONE ON CONSTANTLY. After a while, I've noticed that my phone generally lasts longer if I leave it on all night and day instead of switching it off at night, then back on when I wake up. You should notice a better battery life if you do this. Otherwise, get the battery replaced. Hope all works well! :D

  • this is my first choice over samsung s7350, its nice, stylish and elegant but only when i found out that it was phased out here in our country, too sad.

Maybe you know some trick or something I dont, if so please please share it with the rest of us!!

  • whte is for danloud?

  • Samsung U900 Soul is a good choice for those who never had a smart samsung mobile before, but a bad choice for those who had a D900 or other 3 megapixels samsung camera phones. Why? it's simple: the 3 megapixels D900 camera phone is able to create beautifull pictures, even inside (indoor), it uses a smart flash and an exposure value that really works, while the U900 SOUL it's a disaster in making picture inside, the exposure value doesn't help you to increase the light needed in the picture and the flash, if you intend to use it, it's so powerfull that the only thing it can do is to ruing the picture or blind a healty man. If outside it's a shine beautiful day, than we can talk about Samsung U900 Soul, pictures are lovely, clear, you can even use the magic of extreme close up and obtain a cristal clear picture. There is of course a difference between a 3 megapixels camera phone and a 5 megapixels camera phone, but what the producer of this phone did not understand or did'n mean to understand is how you program a phone to take a beter picture. The setings exists but beside being so many, they have no efect on the picture, while taken inside. If you already have a 3 megapixels samsung camera phone and need to increase to a 5 megapixels samsung, I advice you to think twice before buying this phone, the design is great, more than you expected, it is fast, it is good, large memory up to 8 GB, but it's a disaster in taking a picture without the help of the sun. Look for another 5 megapixels samsung. ....I forgot, doesn't have TV OUT either and if you were use to take pictures and video with your slide phone keeping it in the vertical position, now the producer of this phone wants to complicate things and make us hold the phone in a horizontal way like a real camera, but the phone has a long way to go before becoming a real camera. Don't get me wrong, I love SAMSUNG, but this phone disappoints me. If any of you can give me an advice how to increase the quality and vizibility of the picture taken inside, the values of ISO and other settings, please help....thank you...and one more advice: buy only the original SAMSUNG phones with hologram. My adress is [email protected] bye!

  • Is there a difference from the Samsung u900 and the Anycall labeled (Korean) u900? I'm sure the firmware would be but I know that Korean phones have an english language option so if there are no differences besides that its alright, but if anybody knows please respond.

  • hi dears i want to buy a u900 as e simple phone. just i want to know that does it have tv out or not? thanks alot.

  • How do you access the calendar(appointments) while receiving a call?

  • Good phone, but not well documented. the manual is poor and lacks detail. The user has to play about with the phone to find out what it does. That's normal, but frustrating. There is no connection to the PC as with other phones that use "joinme". Video conferencing is reduced to half a screen. The manual doesn't say how to overcome these problems. It is too vague.

  • Hi how do I get the phone to vibrate when a call is coming in

  • it does say 126MB u muppet!

  • hi everyone. does anybody know the maximum micro sd capacity of the soul u900? pls. i badly need ur help. thanks!

  • Hi i am about to receive my new samsung u900. I am going to a wedding on saturday 25/4, is the camera good enough or should i take a camera also??

  • btw you can check your msm messages whilst in a call by clicking the top right-hand button on the keypad which brings up a quick switch menu with the message menu shortcut on it.

  • I love the phone. The only problem is that i can not check sms msgs when im on a call. This is a tad irritating can this be fixed cause the only option i get if i open the menu while on a call is send sms. So to read a msg recieved during the call i have to end the call and check my inbox.

  • please show your set at the service center it will take only few minute for the repair

  • Go to your main menu, settings, then Vibration feedback

  • its also has smile detection im using the phone now its great :D

  • Hi Just got myself Samsung u900 soul and when it rings it doesnt vibrate, where should I go. Kindly assist

  • Hi there I have just bought the U900 phone and it looks and feels great! I bought it soley on reading the posts on this site!!! Just one question.. Why is it that when i try to install Mxit after downloading it successfully does it tell me: Connection Failiure? when i hit the help button I am told to make changes to my java settings. Where do I find it and how do I make the changes?? P.S. this is my first Samsung hence the silly question.

  • This phone looks awsome, im thinking off getting it after my u700 recent broke.... is it me or does samsung always breaks down? I also had e900 that broke... but this phone is really worth it, my friend got it and it shines like a beast XD

  • Ive had this jewel for more than 3 months now..Just dont afford to miss this phone..Superb!!it's much more than a mobile phone..You should hold it in your hands to feel the magic..Proud user!

  • I like this phone sooo much but the only problem that you cannot lock the keys manually!!! but othwise I think it is one of the best phones I have used.

  • thanks so much! have tried the code but it didn't work. problem is i have purchased the unit from a friend and now i couldn't contact him regarding the lock which maybe he has changed. anyway, great thanks!

  • Hi all. I've had this phone for almost 7 months now and it is still an amazing phone. I constantly check out this website to see other new phones that come out and even though there's phones with GPS, 8 mega-pixel cameras and other gimmicks, this phone is still one of its kind. The intuitive touch-pad, the SUPERB and ROBUST design (Honestly, the all-metal body, along with matte black plastics hasn't been affected much by the every-day wear and tear.) and its amazing speed through menus are just some of the things that makes this phone an achiever. OF course, I'm not as excited about the theme editor as I was when I got the phone, yet the other day, my friend tried it out and was amazed at how much can be customised with the phone. The picture editor is still hot and the camera is still a great performer for a 5-megapixel camera-phone. The audio quality is very clear and loud (found out about the code) and I never miss a call or message. I'm very happy with the battery life, lasting about 4 days of moderate-heavy usage, and can last more than a week when I'm not using it a lot. I absolutley LOVE this phone and I'm so glad I got it. Also, I'm not sure about other people around the World, but down here in Australia, I've only seen ONE other person with my phone. It seems not many people have it, or want it, but I have to tell them, they have NO clue what they're missing out on.

  • No, I think N73 ME is worse than U900, because I had many problem in My old N73 ME, ex : Its very slow to read files, the picture of the camera is not natural or its look like cartoon, after that, the speaker not work, and finally, my phone is dead...First time, it seems because virus, but after I checked, no virus detected...Now, I have u900,no problem until now, its betteeeeeeer than my old N73 ME...

  • go and do it its amazing look attracks every one attention the key pad is amazig if u r really look for something espiceal go andd buy it GREETINGS FROM EGYPT MY FRIEND

  • i had this phone since two days i have elevated the mp3 ringtone by codecs from his site in opinons page 6 now i can hear the ringtones good and about the sliding problems that it seems not fit after u slide it up just push a little push and it will fit ..turn ur keypad sensetivty to 3its more fun and ur media payer to ROCK the bass is great the earphone is very very very amazing in hearing mp3 only im afraid of not 2 able2 play games on it cuse im very careful ith the keypad thax and proud and happy 2 help someone on this planet

  • thanks you

  • I am not too happy with the sms memory as i have bought a memory card but it does not save there, i then created another folder in the inbox and moved all my messages there so now my inbox is empty but still says that my sms memory is full and there's like 5 sms in my inbox.According to the message memory, its suppose to take 500 sms.Maybe i am doing something wrong, does anyone have the solution?

  • I am using it right now i am very happy you can use the debug mode to change the volume to make it louder than normal i would definately buy it

  • You can set the touch sensitivity of the touch pad, that should solve the problem! :-) Good luck!

  • this phone is the worst phone samsung has ever made. the camera is rubbish and the internet is even worse.mine has been sent away twice now and is still not right. i wish i never got it!!!!!

  • Dear Gefran, if initial passowrd is not changed in ur phone, the password for phone lock will be 00000000 (8 times 0). But if it changed already and u forgot the passowrd, u sud contact service centre only. u can personalize all files with selecting passowrd of your choise. jus go to settings and go into security. there is option for all. eg change password and privacy.

  • Try 00000000 as the password. If not try 0000! Good luck!

  • hi! would like to ask password for the phone lock. i could't reset the unit for password not included in the manual. need your help please. thanks so much!

  • there`s another edition of SAMSUNG SOUL U900 - SOUL U900T.. the Israli edition for Pelephone company.. it`s work with HSDPA 850/2100MHZ

  • * There's no option to cancel sms's, a big NO-NO for me, becaquse since it's half touchscreen, you find you accidentally send incomplete or sempty messages by mistake, about, oh, TWENTY TIMES A DAY. * true. sending sms should have been a 2 step process (sending ok or cancel). not a problem with new sms as receiver can be added when sms text is written. however replying to sms is risky lol...

  • Samsung phones...the Samsung SOUL specifically, takes the durability and user-friendliness from Nokia, while also acquires the great style and looks from Sony Ericsson. With this phone, there's no sacrifice!!!!

  • haha cant wait!!! gettong it pretty soon! its a fabulous phone and it has amazing capabilities. my friend has it... and it is awsome!!! really. the touch window has to be the most coolest thing ever!!! :)

  • great mobi see this

  • whats the upgrade to this phone?

  • This is the most annoying phone I've ever touched - it looks great and you can customise visuals to a fantastic extent but, for christ's sake, that stupid mini touch pad just gets in the way. There's no option to cancel sms's, a big NO-NO for me, becaquse since it's half touchscreen, you find you accidentally send incomplete or sempty messages by mistake, about, oh, TWENTY TIMES A DAY. As usual, no smileys, while some shortcuts can be made nicely accessible, everything else is a thousand freaking button-clicks away. it looks great, and feels cool, but the buttons are incredibly noisy, the speaker's not that great, the storage is craaaaaaaap, and the jumping between two different forms of interface in something already complicated enough, is simply annoying.

  • Which store u bought urs? do u think it can work in jamaica?

  • hi can anyone tell me, how i can set up the phone so that when i download anything it goes straight to the memory card?? my phone isnt recognising the card when i download anything, doesnt give me the option. any feedback is much appreciated.

  • Hi every body. I have a problem whit headset bluetooth.i can't make incoming and outgoing calls via bluetooth headsets. where i must go ? thanks a lot please help me...

  • YES.THE TOUCH PAD IT'S A problem..When u talk, the pad is going crazy, because your face is touching it!

  • I've had this phone for several months know and I have never had a problem with it. As well as this i work wit phones and everyone I have sold a U900 to has loved it and I have never had one come back from repair. As well as this you will find that 94% of the time when a slide phone comes back for a repair it wont be the slide feature that is faulty. Like all phones try and turn it off once a week for 5 mins and it runs like a dream. Some amazing phones have been realised since I got this one and Ive never regreted it. Best phone by far =] ~Kiss Kiss~

  • What do you think of the design? Is it for girls? or it work fine with boys too.

  • Would this phone work with att? Is att going only 3g soon?

  • this is a grat phone, have not had any problems with it... camra is great

  • Can someone help with regard to auto lock of the keypad

  • tnx LanEvo... i think thats the best way to fix it... this is my first Samsung phone and i cant help but be dissapointed so much... i still go for Nokia & Ericsson, Nokia is the best user-friendly phone plus its so durable and Ericsson is number 1 with their style & features..

  • It's a great phone, the only problem is the battery life span.... too short

  • Hello! I need to know more thinks about batery lifetime. Then you calling and receiving calls,how many days you can use it if it's fully charged? Thanks

  • can you send me manual book for a u900 samsung thanks

  • hi there.I like very much the U900 and I think I'll buy it but I see all kinds of negative opinions like the battery is small and the sounds are low.On the other hand,some people say that if you charge it normally you will have a good battery and the sounds are no problem.which one should I believe?

  • hi go on to settings, then phone profiles, go to normal and go on options then edit you go to the end row by pressin the side arrow keys and change it. that was to caroline

  • Hi, i have just bought the samsung u900. I hate the irritating sounds when i move from one menu to the other. does anyone know how to deactivate them? I have tried everything i can...thanks..

  • do any of u hav a problem with the msg memory..there's space fr 500 msgs in the phone memory bt as soon as my msgs reach 250..it asks me 2 delete sm msgs...do u also face the same problem? PLZ REPLY!

  • Why don't you try to bring it to Samsung customer service? I think that's the best choice. Maybe they'll update the software. So, you should back up the important things to your computer first. Especially events in the calendar. Because maybe you won't lose you files but, events usually gone. Sorry for my broken English again, Hope you'll understand it. orz

  • i've been using this phone for only 1month and now its dead...when you slide up the phone all the lights will turn off so i cant use it (though i know the phone is not dead yet)...but if i will close the slide down then the lights will turn on again... can somebody help me fix my U900? or does it mean i need to have it service already after 1month of using... also im so dissapointed with its battery coz it seems that im always charging everyday coz its easilly drained... wheeww, its a gift from my husband and i cant say im so happy with it... can someone help me plssss.

  • I have bought this phone on 1st February. I love it. Everyone when they see it just ask me the same question. "What's the name of this phone?". In Thailand not very much guys know this phone because Samsung release too much phone in the almost same time with U900 and the U900 was the one that very expensive but, now is very cheap. One thing that I not very like it is when you want to listen to the music, You have to use very much time to go to the music that you want. Because the phone goes really slow. Overall it's nice. Sorry for my broken English.

  • Can this phone be on Meteor network?

  • I've been using this phone for almost 2 months and it's best i've ever owned. I have no problems with hearing callers signed with various carriers and vice versa, when using the "outdoor" phone profile. I really appreciate how the first ring is lower in volume then subsequent rings, so as to not startle the user. It looks and feels well-made, from the brushed metal to its satisfying sliding action. The great camera and media player functions were just icing on the cake for me, as I had been looking for a good phone. Highly recommended.

  • Is this phone anygood, i seem to be stuck between this and the Motorola V9. The U900 has better specs and is pretty sweet looking, but people are saying that the touch thingy is a bit dodgy.

  • Hey, Would anyone be able to tell me if this is a worth while upgrade from the u600? Thanks.

  • While writing a msg go to options and then input method. you can choose predictive or non from there and it saves it permanently... or at least it did on mine.

  • This phone is great. The only down side is the touch pad is a bit slow to respond. Touch "ok" and wait until it actually registers. Apart from that great camera, fast internet access, beautiful finish. A magnificent phone overall. Peace.

  • How do you switch the predictive text off permanently though? I know all that * buisness but mine won't stay off predictive! HELP!!!!!!!

  • how do you put it on sports mode to take faster pics ive looked but cant find it thxs

  • I'm thinking to get this phone and it's for ATT network. Can someone tell me how the reception on this phone. I had D900 before and the reception was killing me and I had to crush it.

  • i love this phone its generally fantastic..... its my whole world and more!!!! i have reasons to believe its the most fantastic phone in the world!!!!!

  • Good looking phone but needs to be more user friendly

  • me too! excellent interface and awesome for browsing, but can't hear the person on the other end of the line either,,,,, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a phone.

  • where do you guys download the game that suits with the phone?i've downloaded some that 240x320 games but in the phone the resolution is not quite right. the lower part of the display seems to be off the screen

  • Very good phone, not expensive, rating ******

  • had thius phone for a few months now, best i have ever had

  • I have to give it to my husband. The phone features seems more suited for men.

  • shuuuuuu u900!!! unbelievable phone... shuuuuu.....

  • iv had this phone since nov and iv had no problems i love the phone

  • is excellent only for exquisit the best cel

  • I'd say the speaker is pretty lousy - same goes for the vibrate strength. I've had this phone (I presume the u900 and soul use the same speaker?) for about 6 months and am forever missing calls as I can't hear (or feel) it when it goes off!

  • The slider mechanism is perfect fine. I've been using it ever since October and its still really springy. It's a bit less "crisp" in its spring, but still much better than the SE sliders I've used (W580 and W910). The speaker is a bit soft, but fine for normal environments like school and office, but not for busy places like on the streets.

  • Hey, I was wondering where we go to download software updates for this phone, I bought it unlocked and I'm hoping by now they've come up with an update letting us use the camera in the front. And one that lets us make better use of the mp3.

  • can anyone comment on the speaker of the U900. is it good? which is better U900 or G810

  • can anyone here who have been using this phone for several months give a feedback on the slider. i heard from some that they say the slider design is bad. can anyone give a comment on that. and have the slider got loosen up from months of using?

  • plz can anyone tell me if the U900 peels .thnx

  • please help.. when i enter to yahoo messenger login, the problem is i can't key in my login ID, ( when i type on the keypad nothing happened ) THX!

  • your phone could be freezing because of 2 things 1st one it could be that you have an old sim card and thats because u have a new phone but with an old sim card ofcoure it wont work properly 2nd you just might need a software update if u have ur sim card for more than 2 years propably this would be the issue

  • No thanks, I'll pass. When I mentioned the whole thing about the volume and battery, what I actually meant was first everyone was complaining about the volume and then that was fixed. So now they need something else to complain about (battery). I made it pretty clear in my post that I know how to get the most out of my battery. Also I have no freezing problems (don't know what gave you that idea), and I know how to use my phone properly; Which means not messing around in the hidden menus. There are software updates from Samsung every 2 months for the 'Soul'. So yes, I would prefer to have Samsung fix a problem than try to do it myself and risk damaging my phone. @ egeee Thank you! ;)

  • Here's how to make your Soul louder. Thx to Samret. Making your Samsung Soul MP3 and Ringrone Louder =============================== - Type *#0002*28346#. - It will bring up a menu. - Load Params. - Dump Params. - Call Config. - Press Back & it will bring up another longer menu. - Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu. - Then key in 4 to bring up have-QTune (MP3) menu. - Key in 1 to bring up SPK MP3 Vol. Menu. - Key in 6 to change the max. Volume. - Input 40 & 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. - Once done, press cancel to close the service menu & try to play a MP3 with max. Volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones & Message tones.

  • Nick I'll post the access prog. so you can set everything yourself... also just like all phones if you leave your blutooth on it wil drain your battery and turn down you screen brightness and your camera setting from 5mpix 2 or 3megpix.... this phone is great just learn how to use it properly. and if you have a freezing problem use the disk that came w/ it will find updated for you phone if there's a problem.. or shut down all other apps if you aren't using them.

  • to get light on screen...just press a hardkey. any... yes battery is a bit weak. installed opera mini for surfing which works very well with magic touch navigation pad making the mouse running in all directions as chased by a cat lol. after surfing 2-3 hrs the battery is flat... that apart this phone is just great... scoring 9 out of 10...

  • I upgraded to a U900 about a month ago and even though I only use it for a few phone calls a day the battery life is less than 2 days and often goes from 2 bars to flat in a few hours. I have returned it for testing and hopefully the battery will be replaced. If not there is no point in keeping the phone as my old Nokia still has a much longer battery life. First Samsung phone I have owned and so far not happy. I also cant figure out how to see the time on the screen (or even figure out if the phone is on!) without sliding it open as the screen is blank about 30 seconds after sliding closed. Is there any way I can view this without sliding open?

  • for battery issues its really necessary to discharge the battery then charge it for 4 hours then it will start to work again... reason because the li-on battery needs to be reset and discharging the battery, it will reset itself. do this and u will most likely had resolve the issue.

  • Nick's, great comment:)

  • for some reason my phone freezes when i recieve calls, sometimes not all the time, can anyone tell me wut the problem is or provide me with a solution at least. thanks

  • First it was the Volume and Now This! Here's the thing last week I did a test with my soul's battery life to see how long it would last after having it for 2 months. I honestly have to say that at first it would only last a little over a day. However, the battery (fully charged) now lasts a full 3 days with average usage - Listening to music, a few random searches on the internet, Gmaps, camera, calls, etc. Tested @: LCD's brightness - 3 Dim - 30 seconds Back light - 30 seconds Keypad Light - Custom Time (5 pm to 7 am) My advice to everyone, please stop listening to all these people who have only had the phone for a week or two complaining about the battery and volume. Most of them are just bitter people who haven't even used this phone at all. Maybe they are just jealous of someone who has this phone so try to make everyone think that its bad. The only reason anyone should be complaining about battery life is if they forgot to charge their phone. Most companies ship a charger with your phone for a reason, so use it. Don't expect them to send someone to charge your phone for you as well. But honestly, does it really take that much to charge your phone at the end of a day or two???

  • Your photos save to My Files->Camera Album folder. The music and photos should be also located in the My Files menu. HELP!!! Ive had this phone for 3 days and im really confussed with the camera.

  • i am disappointed with my phone! the life of the battery is really getting in my nerves. ill be selling my soul and get another unit but not samsung anymore

  • can anyone tell me how to get this phone to allow calls to 0844 numbers and other call centre numbers keeps on telling me it cant connect me to these numbers.

  • had the phone for 2 months and only started using it a month ago but i'm so dissapointed because if i spend 30 minutes on the net my battery would just die; don't talk about taking pictures,and i can't seem to go on any of the networks because it just stays on it for a while and then it completely refuses to link up with any of them.

  • The simcard holds 30 SMS messages, the phone holds 500. All together its a total of 530 SMS messages that this phone can hold. Usually around 430 SMS messages it will start asking you to clear out your text messages. Yes there is a camera on the front of the phone, I don't know why the one in the picture doesn't have one, but I can assure you that there is definitely a front camera on my phone. It CAN NOT be used to take pictures, only for conference calls over the 3G network, which isn't supported here in the U.S. so having the front camera there is pretty much useless.

  • How do I set the album image so it shows up on the mp3 player

  • I hate this phone. Drives me absolutely crazy. The battery life is ridiculously short, I continually send blank messages with this touch screen. It's also very easily scratched and the SMS inbox is so horribly small that I'm having to delete messages continually. I recommend you do not purchase this phone or get it as an upgrade. There is a high quality camera, but if that is what you're looking for then perhaps check out the Sony Erricson C902. Good luck phone hunting :)

  • PLEASE! Is there a way to permanently reduce the menu font size? It's so big it's irritating. Not just for SMS but for everything please!

  • how are the speakers and is there a camera infront of the phone

  • is there a camera in front of the phone?

  • the sms space is so small it's crazy. i think it only holds like 200 sms in the inbox. This phone drives me crazy!!!

  • but i notice that the process won't permanently reduce the size of the font :(

  • I have to upgrade during this week. Should I upgrade to the Samsung U900 ?

  • plssss can anyone give me a step by step idea on how to use the firmware....do i download it directly to the phone or how.....how do i get my u900 flashed

  • Speaker quality is poor but other than that all round good phone.

  • Can you post the link to that video? I have the phone and haven't ran into the feature.

  • Replying to claire sound on this phone excellent seriously its got bang and olufsson audio i have had phone 3 months read that people thought it to quite but honestly no problems at all best looking phone about

  • but in the review they you can set a video as a caller's image.... i want to know how to do it..

  • be honest is this phone good iv jus ordered it

  • That is called the phones multi-task key. Much like you pressing alt+tab when you're on the computer. You can do the same with on the phone.

  • You CAN NOT set VIDEOS as caller ID, but you can set images.

  • i love it very vry and the U900 is havy duty but the sound very very bad

  • It is very simple, you find the photo that you are looking for and from that photo you go to options. You do not choose the callers ID first. When you have option: use as caller photo or option number 4.

  • how can you set a video as a caller 's image?

  • Is the sound of this phone really bad? I am planning on buying this phone :D

  • to be honest this phone is pritty crap... the touch pad may seem awesom but i got very board of it very quickly...rather go for a nokia with more exciting features!!

  • another thing... it is easier to code a new operating system than it is to installe JAVA games that i downloaded off my pc onto the U900!! If any one knows an easy way please let me know. because as far as i can tell its impossible!!

  • This needs to be clarified. The "minimize" button (the one with the pictures of two squares) is not truely a minimise button. It cannot minimize applications such as mxit like nokia's menu button can. It only brings up a menu allowing you to switch between: phone, texting, the internet browser and the music player... I found this extreamly disapointing! so please be aware of this!!

  • What "Icon Line" are you speaking of? Explain more please.

  • Yes, that will also lock the magic touch pad. To unlock, simply press the left soft key and than the right soft key soon after.

  • thanks-and that will lock the magic pad aswell?

  • On the icon line I see some icons as described in the user manual. I also see a "1." Anybody able to tell me what the "1." stands for?

  • thanks for the advice, works perfect now!

  • There is an option under slide settings to make the phone automatically lock when you slide it closed to put in your pocket or phone case. You can also disable it too if you want. The magic touch pad shouldn't go off when it's in your pocket, it only activates when your fingers touch it, and not by any other objects I can think of.

  • The first 30 SMS you send are automatically saved to your SIM card, from 31-500 sent SMS its stored on your phone. There is no way to configure it to save your SMS to your memory card. Like I said, SMS 1-30 gets saved to SIM card, 31-500 is on phone.

  • When you close the phone it automatically locks

  • ive just ordered ths phone in pink cant wait-my step daughter has one like the feel of it just hope i dont press all the buttons on the magic screen is there anyoe you can lock the phone so it doesnt automatically press anythign?

  • i have had this phone for over 4 months and all i can say about it is its a really good phone its clear when you talk to people and ti takes really good pictures i recommend everyone to buy this phone

  • why sms is save in memory card? got setting or got any way to save sms in phone instead of memory card?

  • It isn't the top 3 people you text, it's the last 3 people you sent a text to. There is no way to take that off, but what's wrong with it? I find it really helpful and easy to choose a number to text if I'm texting between 3 or more people. It's just a standard thing on this phone that can't be disabled.

  • There is a box that comes up when you click send to on sms. This has your top 3 people you text. Does anyone know how to take this box away?

  • thanks for the info about the phone. i just bought the phone few days ago. all i can say it's a superb and stylish phone,accept the battery life. it can't seem to hold more than a day. i just charge it the whole night last night,and i use it today. up until the afternoon,the battery only left 2 bar. and another few hours,left only 1. i use it for text and camera only. and i didn't take pic too much. is it any of the special effect of the touch pad that drained the battery so fast? any tips to improve this?

  • You get Night Mode, Sports Mode, Sunset, ect... by opening the top panel. It is the first tab where you switch from Camera to Camcorder, in the middle you can see the option Scene. Select Scene and open the top panel again and go to the right 1 time, from there you can choose your different modes.

  • You CAN NOT download themes into the phone, you can only use the theme that the phone comes with, or create your own. Or if you update your phone to another firmware, it may have another theme on there to go with the phone, but you CAN NOT install new themes into the phone. As for the games, try this website

  • does anybody got unlock code for the three games in the hp? thax!!

  • hi guys, were can you Download themes and games for this kind of phone, I'm having a hard time getting one. Thanks in advance.

  • Yeah, I looked at the back of my phone around the 3rd week i've had it and I noticed some slight scratches on it. Than I realized it was from simply placing it on a glass table, or any other table. It gets scratched easily. That day on, I made sure I only set my phone down on a very soft material like paper or on my mouse pad. I than bought a Full Body Protector from eBay for $19.99 USD and it covers every part of the phone that is vulnerable to getting scratched except the front touch navigation pad part (boo). I can now set my phone down without worrying it getting scratched. I recommend it if you can buy it from eBay

  • I bought mines from eBay for about ~$10 USD and i've had it for about a month and a half now and it works perfectly fine. Perfect fit, and very durable.

  • Just simply type that word in, and when the numbers come up, press 0 and it will go to the next word. Repeat that about 5 6 7 or even 8 times until the phone recognizes that you use that word much more than that number you accidentally typed in for it's place. Now when you type that word in, the word will come up instead of the number

  • For other face plates and color, you should check online at eBay, they should have some. The reason you can't take photos from the front camera is because it's meant for only video conference calls on their 3G network, but the US doesn't support the 2100 so therefore you can't even use the video conference feature on our phone. As for the sports and nightmode, I could have swore I saw those options on my phone the other day, and now I can't find it again. I'll get back to you if I do find it again though.

  • where can i get pouch for samsung soul

  • Please could someone tell me how to delete words that I have added to the dictionary? I acciedently added a word with the numerics on and now everytime I spell the word it comes up as numbers. Lol

  • Ok ,, hi once again.My previous review was quite short,but after a while i thought of a few things to ask,and say.Firstly,I love the design of the fone,just wondering about the different faces available,because my fone scratched a little,and thats not good.I also like the touch pad and the fact that it isnt touch screen like the U700,because my mother had that fone,and it is most probably the worst fone made by samsung(which is quite unusual,bacause i previously had a Z540,which lasted me a long time).I also want to know why a person cant take Photos from the front camera,and i dont have settings like sports or night mode?Is there any other test codes for the soul,which will make the quality a little better?Lastly,i dont have any problems with the battery life,or the sound volume.Answers 2 these questions will be awesome.. thanx!

  • samsung u900 is excelant and smart mob phone.

  • WOW! really? man and I was worried about the screen,I would never have thought the metalic finish will scratch:( I think of buying a shield soon before it's too late.Thx ;)

  • i bought this phone yesterday , very good phone and i like the touch screen feature !

  • wow Ive had the soul since august 2008,and have been very happy with what it can do,,i would advise anyone who is considering the soul,to go and buy it.Everyone i know is after my cellphone,and now even my sister got it.All that I want to know ,, is if anyone knows the price for the Pink face cover for my cellphone?It would help alot .

  • Good luck on "being careful" with it, i'm pretty sure within the first 4 weeks you'll probably have several scratch marks on the back battery cover. It's really easily scratched, and i mean real easily.

  • They are regular keys and need to be pressed.

  • Can someone please tell me - the buttons around the touch screen, are they touch sensitive to or do they actually need to be pressed? thanks :)

  • thanx for u're reply,u helped me a lot to decide,i bought the phone but i didn't buy a shield,I guess I only have to be carefull with it & I will certainly do that. Samsung rocks.......beats Nokia easily!!!

  • I have the phone for 2 months now and the slider and whole phone itself feels solid. It's hard to explain, you actually need to feel the phone in your hand, the metallic body gives it a nice weight and certainly doesn't feel cheap. I heard from other reviews that it does get easily scratched, which is what I was worried about. At the same time I ordered the Soul, I also ordered the InvisibleShield (full body) for it, and both arrived on the same day. If you like Secret's anti-scratch tempered glass, putting the a full body Invisible Shield is like putting anti-scratch on the whole phone (it's clear and like 0.2mm thick so it didn't affect the look of my phone.) Even though my phone is 2 months old, it's scratch free and still looks like I got it yesterday.

  • Can some1 tell me how is the slider spring mech? does it start to shake or not work as the way it did? I had some experience with this kind of problem,the slider shakes. Also is the screen easily scratchable because I wanna buy a phone which can last me a longer time,that is why I had my mind on the LG Secret but I found out that is not that good compared to samsung(in functionality that is),so can someone answer my questions? cheers!!!:)

  • I got this phone as a '08 Christmas gift! I chose the Platinum silver, as a review mentioned this colour will not make scrtches very visble [on the plastic bits]. thankfully, the two soft keys and answer and decline call keys around the touch panel are mechanical. Looks beautiful in the stainless steel body which has already survived a er, rather small 2ft drop. As a owner of two previous samsungs, I know them to survive drops from the height that you hold a phone in your hand. its also got good weight and broad enough for my long fingered hands... UI is very well planned with simple menu icons that are well-spaced and the best part of the UI is of course the Theme creator. the easy version of it is not very useful. The expert level has more options. The user interface is just very well done. Camera: it has a video call camera in front. The main 5 MP camera also has a mirror and Power LED flash by its side. the so called -Power- LED is.. well, powerful and comparable to xenon and better cuz you can use this in video as well. quality is pretty good if you have contrast on -50 (thats negative fifty!), Saturation on +50 and Sharpness on centre (0) or +50. MP3 is clear and loud. Its Bang and Olufsen sound system. You can add up to 8GB SD card (although my friend has a 16GB in his and working well). To cope with poor battery life, I charge the phone by plugging the phone to my PCs USB port witht he USB transfer cable and it charges but you can't access the file manager on the phone cuz its in PC mode now. but it [the battery] will last for two [and a half] days once fully charged. Its an awesome phone and me loves the thing!!! ;)

  • Well, the battery life of this phone isn't going to impress many. But this tip might help if you work on the computer a lot. I do, and I just plug the phone in using the USB transfer cable into a USB port on my computer and it charges. It [the phone] does go into PC mode and you can still operate everything except the File Manager. Thing is, the phone won't show any signs that its completely charged or not when in PC mode but I don't have a big prob with that. it does allow me to use the phone a little longer in the day. Not saying you HAVE to follow this but its just something I do to cope with the battery life. Haven't used my actual charger in a long time...

  • hi.. got my new U900 last december 30, 2008 and im wondering if anyone got problem on the battery? my phone easily get low batt.. can't use it for 2 days.. what should i do? how long should i charged it? Hope anyone could help me.. thanks..

  • Is the mp3 volume really loud enough..? Hmmm..this makes me reconsider this phone, coz I'm planning to get SE W595 instead, if the mp3 volume of u900 is very low.. Loud enough and Clear sound quality is what I'm looking for..

  • I currently have this phone for over 3 month now. I mainly bought for the looks and secondary functionality. I really like it, it's very stylish and responsive, battery life is good despite some reviews, both mp3 player and camera work without issues. I was skeptical about the call volume, but bough the phone anyways, what I found the volume really varies, sometimes it's really loud and other times it's a bit low. I haven't had any major problems with the call volume, so it's not a show stopper for me. Overall I would give this phone 8/10 with call volume being the only issue. To note, ring tone and mp3 player volumes are fine.

  • I listen to music loud and altho the u900 goes up to 14 i find 11-12 loud enuf,,i also was going to ask about the secret menu to up louspeaker/earpiece but thier was no need to its plenty loud enuf..i got 12hrs 20 minutes non stop mp3 on volume 12 thru supplied headfones and over 5 hrs full screen video so battery is fine for me..I put it next to my d900 and they are both same thickness but bit wider but this gives the fone superb texting ability,,i know people want small fones and that but using a vast size keypad like this is pleasure and hope most users agree with that..

  • carfone warehouse are doing it half price at �150 minus tax relief i got mine for �146 on o2 with �10 top up.Brilliant mobile with good battery and an equaliser preset to suit everyone..It has colour pallettes so you can choose thousands of colours to customise fone to bits..ITs quality built and was over 300 pounds in uk preapay so for half that you get top samsung fone,,i love it and txting is dead easy on keypad.

  • is a very good phone as long thats you not spend more than 100 euro for that

  • I'm sure if you look on eBay there are several pink ones and they can be shipped to you in the Philippines.. eBay has all the color variations from black, grey, steel, pink, black w/ gold trim

  • im thinking of getting this phone , any opinions on it - what is the battery , volume like etc

  • Hey! I got the U900. It's absolutely amazing, I love it! I recommend it to all of you, it's really sleek and simple, and the touchscreen is.. kinda magic! Love it!

  • Dimensions 105 x 49.5 x 12.9 mm It is 12.9mm thick

  • I have the Soul and I use it as a replacement for my old digital camera. It depends on the settings. If you put it in sports mode, it will allow the camera to take pictures faster. If you put it in night mode, it will need some time to take a picture because it is capturing as much light as possible. You can also manually change the ISO settings, exposure, white balance, etc... it really is an amazing phone, probably one of the best 5MP cell phones out there.

  • anyone who own this phone would recommend it? as I'm thinking to get 1 myself. looks very cool and nice with 5mp camera,but i heard the camera a little bit slow when snapping. which means it didn't directly catch the pic u want at the right moment,and u have to hold for some moment to get it right.is it true?

  • How thick is the phone????

  • These normal fones are nearing smarfones all the time,,

  • You can't install java applications on the Samsung U900 SOUL as easily compared to most phones out there. It isn't a simple "place .jar file into phone, go to it on the phone, click options, and click install" You have to type in all these codes and what not. If you're interested, here's a youtube video tutorial on how to install java applications to the phone. Works for me, I've installed over 20 different games! - If that doesn't work, go to www.youtube.com . Copy and paste, or type this into the search bar at the top. How to install free JAVA games on Samsung Soul . It should be the first video that has about 26,000 views and the uploader should be " lelijk1 "

  • When the phone is in its open position, right above the number 3 on the number pad you will see a key that looks like two 3-d rectangles. That's the "Multi-task" key. Press it and you can switch to calls, messages, browser, or music player. Than when you're done, you can still go back to what you were doing, meaning this does not end your action, so you can do two things at once.

  • how do u read ur msgs while on the phn? plz reply cz i have to help my friend learn hw to use his phn...lol...

  • Hi, Does anyone know how to delete words add manually to the T9 dictionary? please help!

  • many say no but my friend has 16 GB card on his phone working fine.

  • actually, my friend's got a 16 GB card for the soul and works fine... (he had for 2 months)

  • sorry, I can't answer your question competely cuz I don't have the U900 phone [also getting for christmas]. But i do have the KF510 and that heat sensitive pad with those stars moving around, isn't very responsive or accurate. I don't reccomend that phone. that's why I really need another phone. I'm fed up with the KF510.

  • You can make your own thmems on the phine. but I think you can't download. making themes is actually more fun... :)

  • Answered most of you guys questions about this phone, read the opinions i replied to.

  • Yes you can update this phone to the latest firmware.

  • hi guys...i just bought this phone a week ago...and iam completely happy and satisfied with the performance...yea the camera seems to be a touch of bother if ur looking for a better quality photo...and for those who whine about the sound quality of the phone need to get their ears checked..cuz the sound is really good enough...so is the music of the phone..overall its a pretty decent buy..

  • yes you can

  • I wanna ask about the Java MIDP support, Is it possible to us to download / install Java (JAR) files into to the phone? I mean like in Nokia or Sony Ericsson, there is an easy way to add a new java application. Because, last time I use Samsung was D500 in 2006, there must be some "hacking techniques" to install Jar file from PC. thank you...

  • About battery life. If you think that battery life it too short, try this. 1) My phone was set to choose network mode automatically. So the phone chose UMTS. I changed to GSM mode, because UMTS uses more battery power (found that info on Google). UMTS can transfer data much faster than GSM, but if you don't use internet, this is not important. Also, I got better signal, because GSM has better coverage in my town than UMTS. 2) You can reduce display light level a bit. This should help too.

  • i just want to no how good are the samsung u900 soul realy is i have just bort 1 for xmas i like the look of the phone but is that right about the phone if it gets wet it sends texts to everone

  • i see ppl talking about lastest firmware, can u update the firmware of this phone?

  • Hi all, im buying this phone. All seems good, but I'm just wondering what is the V on the end of U900? (U900v) Is it the network? e.g U900V= U900 on the Vodafone network? Thanks for your help.

  • I've seen Black, Soul Grey (What you guys call 'silver'), Pink, Gold/Black, and Steel Silver.

  • Unfortunately, there is no way what-so-ever to download themes into this phone. You can only use the basic 3 themes the phone comes pre-installed with. There is no way for you to download extra themes. Which sucks, because I also wanted more themes.

  • Sounds like you got a faulty/defected phone. I've had mines for about 3 and a half weeks so far and it never froze up or anything. Runs perfectly fine with the latest firmware.

  • If you're second choice is the LG KF510, I think you should re consider and check out the LG KF750 Secret. It's a competitor phone with some pretty nice features. Not to mention the front display screen is made out of tempered glass, it's nearly INDESTRUCTIBLE. You can set it on fire and try to scratch it with keys and it won't be scratched.

  • The sliding mechanism is stable and reliable. It will not feel weaken after continuous use, and will not get wobbly at all. I love the way it feels. It feels solid and durable. When you insert the memory card, you can create your own folders and it will appear in the phone as another folder that is from the memory card.

  • 1. To zoom in and out. When you're holding the phone sideways (landscape) to take a picture, there is a button on the bottom side of the phone. It's also known as the volume button when you're in music player mode. Press it to the right to zoom in, left to zoom back out. 2. To set yourself a message alert tone go to Menu->Settings->Phone Profiles->highlight "Normal" profile and press the left soft key for "Options". Go to Edit. Move over one tab and you will see Message Alert Type, Message Alert Tone, etc.

  • this celphone is a very good, lg secret is very exelent celphone! samsung soul: is very good lg secret: is very exelent

I hope some1 can explain this to me clearely cause i will probably buy this phone 4 christmas. My second choice is LG kf510 and i wanna make sure i get the one i want :) Thanks in advance ;)

  • How do i zoom in and out when taking a pic? Is there any way i can set me message tone?

  • I have my soul for a week now, and it freezers already! Im disapointed really, cos i loved the phone since it came out.Battery life sucks.

  • Hi - on the standby screen just decrease volume....

  • I have this phone now its only a day old i have it in Midnight, brings out the colour of the themes more BUT i wanted to know if there is anywhere i can download themes for this phone instead of making my own?

  • i just got the u900 in pink last week and i got a 16gb memory card and it works perfectly so its not just 8gb(i recommend this phone to anyone best ive had)

  • so which one did you buy? im also very confused....u900 or g810? which one?

  • Hey.. its possible that your memory card is stuffed. i notice if i didn't use the memory card on another phone, it saved to the phone memory its self fine.

  • How to switch the key tones off? Help! :)

  • the other colours may be sold in other countries

  • NO the highest it can go is 7

  • it's the best phone in the world for me but it is quite slow the touch pad is the slowest

  • my volume on calls doesnt go above 7 , is there anyway to make it louder ?

  • I was surprised that there are no colors but silver & pink !!!! Is that correct ???? I don't know why when you check the mobile pics you find gold color , but GSM says silver & pink only !!

  • I can only configure the left and right touch screen shortcuts, the up and down ones are 'greyed out'. Does anyone know how to make these active?

  • im wondering if you could spare me the data CD of samsung soul, i lost mine and just bout it last october, ihavent used mine since then ... please

  • anyone knoes what firmware do they have for this phone?

  • I'm here in Dallas, Texas using T-Mobile and it works perfectly fine. This phone is only capable of 2G in the US. It will not work as 3G in the US because none of the carriers use the frequency that this phone enables 3G on.

  • Wrong, you can turn off the vibration feedback if you want, or you can make it vibrate even intenser or in different vibration patterns. As for the touchpad being slow response, that's also wrong. There's a setting that says "Sensitivity" you can change that from 1-3 (1 slowest, 3 fastest).

  • Yes, it has been said and confirmed that when flashed with the latest firmware, it can accept up to 16GB MicroSD cards.

  • Bought less than a month. Once highlight that battery is weak,( still having one bar )is will flat out the next moment. Need to charge the battery every two days.(seldom use) Is this common or battery problem?

  • How can i find the code that will allow me to increase the ear piece volume?

  • thank u

  • I think your phone is broken i would recommend you to bring it to where you purchased it and ask what the problem is

  • for me, this phone is great! i just had it for 2 weeks yet i know so much about the basics of the phone since i love exploring. so far, i'm loving every bit of it. the volume is fine, as opposed to what other people say. and it has no defects. i charge the battery everyday though because i always use the music player. if i'll just do normal use, i think it would last up to 2 days. :) i think it depends on the unit you got. maybe some people got it from unreliable stores or something that's why it has some defects. i got if from a professional seller and so far, i don't have any problem with my phone. :)

  • i got mine in asia in the philippines

  • Okay with a bit of searching, try wikipedia even, its easy to set the earpiece volume up loud enough, (test code number you enter) just dont try change other codes who knows what you might do!

  • try to increase the volume and see... i am planning on getting a U900.. i guess, the volume settings might help.

  • can anyone teach me on how to use the camera because whenever i took picture the phone automatically shut down this happen every time i took photos and when i push the shutter for the camera the flash is the only one working i cannot capture images but when i push hard it can capture the image but it automatically shut down can anyone please teach me on how to use the camera thank u

  • The call volume is good.I bought one and what i saw was good.

  • I have the Samsung U900, great phone but the battery life is not so hot, Other than that a awesome phone the battery life is what I find a draw back. I'm stating this from South Africa

  • Had mine about a week- MAIN problem is the impossibly low earpiece volume, followed by terrible battery life, one day of just calls (no pictures, music of internet) and its dead, and not great sunlight legibility. But the camera is very good, loving the touchpad and interfaces. Going to have to live with it now I guess. All I wanted was a G400 Soul to replace my beloved Z-540 but this model not available in South Africa :(

  • any one bought the soul recently? is the call volume still very low? is there any solution to it? planning to get one soon, but worried about the low call volume. any opinions wil be appreciated. thx!!

  • wat is the limit of message tat can be stored in the phone? why it say tat 'memory full' when i just saved about 400 messages in my u900? then can my message saved in the memory card?

  • hi i bought one,its excellent! pics and videos were excellent.

  • Just bought the u900 recently and love the phone and all of the features on it but the speaker of the phone is real soft esp. when speaking to some else. Is it just my phone or are most of them like that?

  • don't be silly, soul has led flash which is like a light the c902 has a proper xenon flash

  • no se r the best fones on the market. the camra is the best that i avever had

  • Touchpad is excellent. You can set its level of sensitivity (i leave it on 2 which is the middle) but seriously, if you're going to flick or skim the pad each time u u use it, then DON'T buy it, but if you're normal, and you actually tap the little pad, it will work wonders for you :)

  • The maximum is 8gb..

  • No you cannot do this unfortunatly

  • only 8gb is compatabale

  • hey.I would like to know whether this phone works in 2G..help me out...anyone.I am concerned about this as I read in the review that the phone is triband only

  • The touch screen's response can be changed to respond to your touch whether your quick or not so its kind of the same. yes it does have animatin but my phone is pretty quick

  • Is it true that the response of the phones touch pad is a bit slow.. So if you are pressing the touch pad button fast or you have a fast finger in browsing the phone, it would have a hard time catching up with you..because I beleive the touch pad vibrates or do some animation after you press it.. so it make slow response..

  • will 16G microSD work with this phone?

  • Is there a limit to size of microSD I can use on the phone? Or will any size work (8G/16G)? Any help would be great

  • Hello.. I am planning to buy one of these but i recently consult a friend about it and she told me that there is quite a lot problem with the touch pad.. And it can only be repaired in the samsung factory... So guys.. could you give me some opion this?? because i am thinking of buying one very soon.. Please guys and thank you..

  • Can anyone tell me how to de-activate the function that makes the phone start ringing softly, and then incerase? I've got it set on melody and vibration...

  • i wish when i get mine the battery last as long as urs

  • hy all. i like this phone and i planed to buy one. What about flash, it is better then one on SE C902? My english is bad :D

  • Can this be done. I have the same problem with the comes up 843. Driving me insane.

  • * hello, do you know how to delete the preset music which is on the phone? i cant seem to delete. please help!!

  • What made you ask if it would be "different" ? My previous phone was a Samsung SGH-A737 ( ) and I enjoy the U900 because it's interface and everything is pretty much similar to the A737. It has T9 also.

  • I bought my phone online and it came with a 4GB micro sd card and I'm using it on my phone just fine. I have 3GB of music and i listen to it daily on the phone. I believe the max is 8GB

  • You need to configure your MMS/WAP settings for the phone. It varies depending on your cell phone carrier (at&t cingular, tmobile, verizon, etc)

  • Yes, when you go to set your alarms, at the very bottom there is an option that says Auto Power and you can either toggle it On or Off.

  • Firstly, I would like to point out two things/corrections with the SOUL. 1. You get 160MB of internal memory, not 128MB (Mine has 160MB so I'm sure of it) 2. Many have complained about battery life, but I must admit, this has the greatest battery life out of any phone I've ever had, even better than a Nokia N95 8GB. With moderate usage (roughly 10 texts a day, 1/2 hour of music, play some games, use camera for 20 minutes), I usually last about 5 days. With little usage, I've lasted a week! With intense usage, I've lasted 2-3 days, which is still excellent for me. Secondly, for the 1,000,000'th time! THE SAMSUNG SOUL CAN HOLD UP TO 8GB OF MEMORY!! IT WORKS!!!, NOT 2, NOT 4, NOT 100, 8GB MEMORY CARD IS THE MAX LIMIT AND IT WORKS! (I use a 4GB memory card and it's not slow at all) People have to learn to read the previous pages of opinions to realise this question has beeen answered many many times.

  • What's the max memory card it can take? According to mymemory.co.uk it says 2GB - is this correct? Someone help! thanks

  • Hye. It's me again. I bout the U900, but I have a problem. When I write a message, and try to send it, it keeps telling me "Network settings unavailable". I tried to do something, but still it doesn't work. Any ideas please? Thanks! P.S.: I can receive messages!

  • This's the best thing so far I've laid my hands on. The camera...is just so good.

  • Will this phone turn on when It's alarm needs to go off like Nokia phones do? It's quite a killer if you're phone doesn't and you turn up late for work : / - thanks

  • how can i have the slide down as well as display the clock in dim light

  • this phone is amazing.It's so sexy and so cool...

  • Thanks for your opinions. I've chosen U900. I'm gonna go next week to buy it. I'm so anxious!

  • hello pple... i am interested in u900 but i'm wondering if it's diff texting on this phone??

  • I got this phone as a loaner, my iphone broke down... anyway I think this is a solid phone and doesn't look bad too, also not that expensive! but iphone still rocks :P, Floris (The Netherlands)

  • Thank you for your valuable input Faqir. Your words of wisdom inspire us all!

  • I seem to be having the same problem, it is quite difficult to hear people when you are talking on a call. You can put loud speaker phone on when you are on a call and this may help. only had the phone for a week and still undecided but seems quite good.

  • my name is faqir hayat from pakistan district swabi(nwfp)pakistan.i have also u900 that is so amazing set.anything which i want this is my dream that a set will be make that everything will be which we want thank you samsung componey i salute all of you thanks once again

  • Need to use a visor talk handsfree for work but the u900 keeps disconnecting - anyone else having this problem or can anyone recommend a visor kit that works. thanks in advance

  • i have the u900 and its the best one i have had i think you should go for that

  • choose U900

  • it depends really on your own preferences. the main feature of the tocco (F480) is the really responsive touch screen. Depends if your a touch screen phone kind of guy? Texting can be quite hard to get used to at first. The camera on the soul is slightly better, especially with the image stabliser, which has a big impact. But the tocco is more appealing to the eye, and alot more fun. Its quite hard to decide between these two handsets as in many respects they are similar. Both are fairly reliable, not many returns. I think touchscreens are marmite; you either like them or you don't. I would personally go for the tocco. But before you tie yourself down to a contract or forking out �350 it's best to have a real good play around with the phone first, and decide if the touch screen novelty will wear off in a matter of weeks.

  • Can anyone tell me y mxit freezes on da u900

  • Hey. Uhm, what should I chose? U900 or F480? Help me please, anyone. Thanks!

  • Can you help me? I'm wondering, what should I buy, F480 or U900? I've wanted U900 since May.. But I don't know what to do. Advice everyone? Thanks!

  • Can you change the clock on the background, and can you download ringtones for your text messages?

  • I would like to know what is the maximus extra memory that the phone accepts,and i am talking about microSD kingston.thank you

  • i have got this phone, i had it brought for my birthday, but the touch screen part has lost its colour and i have been on touch panel and everything, and now i cant see the buttons on it as its that dark, can anyone help or explain? :D

  • I have this phone, after reading reviews I was really worried, however as a phone and camera its ok. Personally I feel it will be on pay as you go for about 70 quid quite soon as it is not that all singing all dancing, I previously had Blackberry Pearl and it was great compared to this. The one issue I have is that when you text the phone is rather heavy when the slide is open so one hand texting is tricky. Internet access is also not impressive, maybe though that is my sevice provider...all in all it is not that impressive.

  • Just a reminder of my question people. Thanks lol I would like to know a little more about its video capabilities. I know its QVGA video recording, though I'd like to know two things; 1. How many frames per second (fps) is the video, so QVGA @ ?fps, as I've seen both 15 and 30 fps on the net, and not sure which is right, as they're both very different in terms of quality 2. How can you tell how many fps a video is?

  • According to the manual: Your phone accepts microSD� memory cards up to 8 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).

  • i suggest U900... phone's features are fantastic! camera is 5 MP, 2560х1920 pixels, autofocus, image stabiliser, video(QVGA), flash music is very good!! surround sound when using the headset.. also some cute and unique things in this phone.. (look at the reviews and you'll find what i mean..) i've been using these for about 3months and i encountered no problems at all! but it's up to you.... but hope this helps you.. ^_^

  • does anyone know if there's a permanent fix for the low sound volume on this phone yet? Any firmware upgrade? I find it strange that this is a PHONE but the phone part of it really sucks! You can't hear ANYTHING on the phone! You either need to use speakerphone or an earpiece.

  • im planning to buy U900? should i? please give me some advice...so what do you think guys?

  • id like to ask if the front cam of u900 soul works like u700 front cam does? samsung amazed me by the clarity of their front cam that can be used not only for 3g calling

  • i have this phone and i think its brill its loud can have text tones and easy to use

  • this mobile is hilla good i have been using it for 2monthes its the best one i have ever try

  • PLEASEE HELPP!! I am planning on buying a new phone for x-mas but am unsure of which one to get, the u900, the lg cookie, lg viewety or the sony ericson w595? i would like the phone to have a good camera, mp3 or play music,and or course have the other things a phone has. i currently have the samsung u600 and it is an excellent phone but i have had it for a year and a half and really need to change it but im haveing trouble finding the right one. if anyone could help i would be really greatful, thanks :D x

  • no you can't. the front camera is for imagecalling

  • can u900 support dictionary software? how can i install it????

  • thanks, man. i was just wondering, does the headset a two-part one? i got g600 right now and the headset is detachable, a mic cable at the same time a 3.5 mm adapter. do g600 and u900 have the same universal port?

  • Can it go under Verizon?

  • Does anyone know that the Samsung U900 Soul is capable of using a 8gb microSD card?

  • Hey Chris, The price of the Samsung U900 Soul is about AUD $500. Hope that helps...

  • Hey Michael, The package of the Samsung U900 Soul includes the following:- ~1 x Samsung U900 Soul ~1 x Adapter ~1 x Wall Charger ~1 x Head Set ~1 x Samsung U900 Soul Battery ~1 x Data Cable & Software Hope that helps...

  • Mine just failed for the second time in four months. It's going back to the shop soon, and I'll be getting rid of it as soon as it's fixed. The screens decided to call it quits again, along with the camera. It was honestly a good phone, shame it didn't work for more than a couple months at a time.

  • If we buy a 3.5mm headphone adapter, can we use that for listening to the radio? Or will the radio only work with the given headset?

  • The phone is very good, but the sound is very soft n speaker just only one, so sound come in out is not clear

  • i`m happy user of da phone. Sound: very good, but in my opinion f480 has a waaay better and clearer and louder (I h8 n95 but speaker rules). Reasumming: very good sound but a bit quiet comparing to the best phone in this case. Battery - 2 days, one day if you make a lot of photos. Good phone all right, worth its price.

  • does u900 can record video at 30fps? need your immediate response.. got to buy this unit this week.. thanks!!

  • can somebody tell me what the contains

  • heyya, just wonderin if this phone really last for days on the battery, i am planning to buy 1 but not so sure if the specs sheet about the battery is true.

  • Do this phone send mms postcard??

  • Just wondering, the pictures of the soul on the Pictures section has a black around the keypads and the curve section just below the touch pad is also black, but the pictures on the review is all silver color. Which one is silver color and which one is the default soul gray? Thanks

  • can you chat on this phone ? does it supprt mxit and facebook or msn messenger?pleaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeee let me know , i am waiting to get mine delivered

  • This is one of the best phones that samsung has made.The touch panell is amazin

  • can it read txt,word files?

  • wow what a phone! technology at it's best.

  • no its not correct in the touch screen you can set atleast 4 short cuts.by this you can use the phone without opening it

  • its a great fone and simple to use ,it has got music good camera,snaps are of great quality memory slot and of course the features of sam sung make it more great compare to nokia n series...i love using this fone

  • Im confused on choosing i450 or u900.. Once and for all... I need your honest opinion guys.. Does the speaker for MP3 on u900.. good or bad? is good enough to be called a loudspeaker? please help..tnx.

  • yea its a good phone , volume on calls is a bit low , speaker is ok though , can use the phone open or closed i find the battery life isnt very good overall a good phone :)

  • For those who are just about to buy..it's really a great phone but it would be better if you get the silver one. Black one makes the scratches (at the back) more visible. Especially when you put it in light.

  • Yeah, Www.Zedge.Net You may find it a little complicated to use at first but once you get into the website its easy. Have fun browsing

  • Me neither ,I love the phone but just the ringing volume of the phone is too soft

  • I dnt think u can swop camera's on this phone ,therefor there is a small mirror at the back of the phone

  • This phone rocks the socks of my locks. Stylish and one of the best 5mp cameras around. SHAZAM!!!

  • can anybody tell me if this phone can suspend applications?

  • hi , yeah it is

  • k

  • this phone rocks! can't believe some people complain!!!

  • I've had the U900 for a week but I still can't figure out how to switch the camera to front view to take a shot. Is there a feature in this phone that allows that?

  • The phone is very good and fast and simple to use. but the steel body is very sensible and you have to watch out so you dont scratch it. you can listen to the music weather the phone is closed or open. and you can use the touch screen when the phone is closed

  • I've been using this phone for nearly 2 weeks. Just wondering where can i download themes and games for it?

  • Can we use the touch navigation while the phone is slid closed? Can we listen to music while the phone is closed? The only thing stopping me from buying this phone is that you have to open up every time we need to do something.

  • why would the black phone be lighter than the silver????

  • can u connect your memory card of your samsung soul straight to the pc with out installing the disc,using the phone cable

  • Just a reminder of my question people. Thanks lol I would like to know a little more about its video capabilities. I know its QVGA video recording, though I'd like to know two things; 1.

  • This phone is ok........BUT the ringing volumes are just too soft...can't hear the damn thing ringing

  • hi guys, just wanna ask..,how can i change the setting of its receiving message as vivid view?, just like the U600 model..tnx

  • i have the silver one, and i find it a bit heavy. not sure if black will be lighter, but you can get a clear case if you want to protect the phone

  • For those who have the black one, are the scratches more easily seen? Like, would the scratches be white if it scratched off the black? If that's, then I'll probably just get the silver.

  • Please help: When trying to text message, I have to input the language to English each time otherwise the predictive text function does not work very well. is there a way to have it automatically set to the English language input instead of manually having to select this each time I text someone?

  • I've had this phone for a couple of weeks now. No problems really apart from once or twice when the phone rings the display goes gray and no amount of button pressing will help. Shut the slider, open again and its fine. Only does it now and again though. By the way it definately can handle an 8GB card i got mine cheap from play

  • To ppl who r plannin 2 buy this phone: This phone has amazin looks, camera and customizable themes n features but on the other hand: 1-terrible battery life 2-very week coverage 3-extremly low sound 4-response gets slower n slower by the day

  • i love this phone! :D

  • Anyone here knew is it this phone can set our own ringtone/mp3 as sms alert tone?

  • I have a question here..is it this phone can set our own ringtone as a sms alert tone?

  • does this samsung phone have mp3 ringtone message?

  • Yes a 8Gb card will work in the U900

  • Well its quite easy, all u have to do , is go to settings, network settings, then you choose network mode, after that you choose GSM 900/1800 as your network mode, then you save it. Then your phone wil only use the GPRS. Hope this wil help you.

  • I'm pretty sure its QVGA @30fps, which is indeed better than 15fps, coz the net most of the time says 30fps, I've only seen 15fps just once, but still, I'd like it clarified and also, how can you tell how many frames per second it can capture anyway?

  • I would like to know a little more about its video capabilities. I know its QVGA video recording, though I'd like to know two things; 1.

  • im thinking of buying samsung u900 soul.i need someone with experience to comment on it ???

  • Hi again, well then i would certainly recommed the samsung f700, if you want a full touchscreen plus qwerty keypad. Though, if you're looking for a brand other than samsung, try the Nokie E73, or something like that, though the keypad on that is extremley crammed and there's no touchscreen...you know what forget everything I just said, stick with the Samsung F700!! :P

  • Nope, sorry.

  • yeah. thats illegal my friend

  • does the front camera take photos ?

  • texting whilst driving is illegal.

  • When the phone rings, it starts off soft, and then goes loud! Why?????

  • I only have one problem with the phone. It does not have voice dialing!!!

  • Used this phone for just 3 days. Can't text while driving. PLus, the black glossy cover already has a lot of scratches due to material. Not so happy.

  • No it's the Inter edition, U908 I think..

  • Is yours the midnight soul as well?

  • I bought the samsung soul midnight last week and i was wondering how can i change my shortcut icons. The phone only lets me change the left and right icons but not the top and bottom ones which i find weird. So any ideas people? :]

  • Toms are you sure that the u900 has document viewer, i dont think it does. i have a soul(u900) and it doesnt seem to have it. could you shed light on this pls?

  • U900 is realy good one phone. I used D500, D600, E800, D900, G600 and now U900. You need a couple of days and you will love U900. Very stylish phone, looks very good. The best 5Mpix camera, with autofocus and face detection :)) You can with samsung codes incease volume till very loud...find only codes in internet...very simple. Battery life is 2-3 daysd, like most new other phones. Built quality is No.1...stylish metal case. 3,5G HSDPA is amasing...very fast internet. Document viewer for word, exel, ppt and adobe pdf is fast and I find better than G600 or D900. Very good Phonebook with adresses, notes, sinc with MS Outlook..very good! Stylish business (for e-mails with attach and internet) and multimedia phone. No. 1 really, 9/10

  • No its for video calling

However i always wanted a phone that had both touch screen and a full qwerty keyboard, a slide out for example. would you recommend the samsung f700 as a good candidate for its price? or do you have something better in mind for that price range?

  • No, it doesn't

  • does anyone know how i can add an image to the photo slider? everytime i try to add an image it only shows 8 blank boxes.

  • This phone has got all what i need.Its amaizing features. This is it!!!.....

  • u900 got front camera to take picture ?

  • Its easy mate. On stand-by just press the volume down (Of course volume location is at the left side panel of your u900)

  • I wbt buy U900 SOUL some one that has a phone said it frazze .so i need to know b 4 ibuy it.

  • did you find out how?

  • for those who own this unit in the philippines.. Does the uGo or Living World theme works in the philippines?

  • I just got my U900 yesterday and so far it's alright. The only thing I already hate about it is the buttons making a noise everytime i press it. The only time it doesn't is when I have it on silent. Does anyone know how I can change this? I managed to change the button noise to just a 'beep' but not get rid of it. Any help would be great. Cheers.

  • please can you tell me how to delete list of recent recipients when you text. thanks

  • Hi Thomas, but I don't know where you got your phone from, because my U900 has all those things! :P

  • I'd like to challenge the GSM-Arena review team on claims made on the U900 review for which my new handset doesn't live to. Firstly, the sensitivity of the touch pad cannot be set to the three levels you mentioned. Secondly, my Samsung U900 Soul does not features the animated traveler background (uGo) and there is no analogue clock with the background image according to the country. Thirdly, the audio quality doesn�t come anywhere close to �great�, there is no bass tone in both headphones and speaker modes, making it sound cheap, it can�t even compete with Nokia 6288 in this regard. Lastly, there is no option to view pictures in landscape fullscreen mode, except in slide show. If you disagree with anything I said please tell me how to get it from this phone as I�ve tried everything with no success.

  • Hi soca warrior. In response to your answer; Both phones in terms of features and performance are almost 100% identical to one another. It uses the exact same User interface, has same megapixels of cameras, and they are both feature-packed, and performance is commendable. One minor difference is that Samsung U900's SOUL video recording is better at QVGA @30fps, while the G400 is QVGA @15fps, which is noticeable, as the U900 can record in MP4 format, while G400 just 3GP. That's the only minor difference. The major difference is the phone's form factors. One is a slider and uses lotsa metal, the other is a flip and uses more plastic and mirror type front panel. Personally, I like the U900 SOUL better, not only because it can record better video, but also, it's from factor. It's not as large as the G400, and the whole phone can be operated with the slider closed, while the G400 needs to be opened so every section, apart from multimedia can be accessed. Also, the U900 uses better quality material on its phone. The G400 is very easily scratch able, especially with the mirror type front panel on the flip. Finally, lets not forget the awesome touchpad, that replaced the D-Pad. I own a U900, some people believe there's no point to it, trust me, its a great bonus to have. Hope I helped you. :)

  • Hi all, I am thinking of buying the Samsung U900 or the F480. Any ideas which is better?

  • Samsung Soul is a classy, sturdy fone! got 2 questions though... 1. can u modify (via third party) to make the sounds/ mp3 louder? 2. i accidentally deleted the "family" and "friends" under goup list under phonebook. im trying to create a group again but the fone says "unsupported by the sim" help me out on this. thanks.

  • this fon with small non carl zeiss lens easily beats n95 in quality pictures,shame for nokia!

  • I'm going to write a second review on the U900 as the one I'd written previously was tainted by the fact that my unit was faulty, and went wrong within the first week. Lets start with the good. Construction quality alone is enough to buy this phone. I've noticed Nokia and SE's standards have been slipping lately, and phones less than a year old have trim bits coming off, and paint peeling for no justifiable reason. This doesn't seem to be the case with the U900. I'm one of those people that enjoys the way the quality switches click in an Audi interior, so build quality is a big thing for me. Samsung's got it spot on with a pleasing mix of high-quality plastics and metals. Then there's that camera. I don't really care about phone cameras, and I barely ever use them. My view has always been, if you want a good digital camera, buy one. Don't get a phone. However, this one's so good, I've found myself using quite a bit. The flash has a tendency to washout photos in darker environments, but still more than sufficient for a phone camera. The keypad is worth noting too. It's aesthetically pleasing, without being difficult to use. Then there's the bad. Lets start with the "magic touch" menu interface. Sure it's slick, but does it offer anything a set of regular menu buttons wouldn't offer? Nope, in fact it lags a bit (very rarely though). My take on it? It's just a sales gimmick. Touch-screen is all the rage right now, and by throwing in the touch pad, Samsung has made the U900 more appealing. I don't think touch screens, haptics or not, are ever going to be the equal of a well-made, tactile set of keys. Then there's the real killer. My beef with "magic touch" is more or less a nitpick, the speaker quality however, is a serious problem. The speaker is rarely, if ever, loud enough during a phone call. Often I have people repeating sentences for me multiple times. That simply isn't acceptable. There are other minor issues too. For example, I've yet to figure out how to configure the messages to save on the phone memory instead of the sim. While the screen is generally good-looking, sunlight legibility is an issue. And why, for the love of God, is the bluetooth in the applications menu? Like I said, minor issues. So all-in-all, the U900 Soul is a very solid product. Well-built, stylish, and loaded with great features. The "magic touch" is gimmick, which isn't a good substitute for a full touch screen, or a proper set of keys, but it's harmless nonetheless. The speaker quality remains a serious failing though, and needs to be addressed...quickly.

  • Yes it has the living world (U-Go) theme.

  • does this phone has the Samsung Living World theme?

  • Hey.. Could any1 tell me if u900 accomodates Mxit? Pls! Its urgent..

  • I looked at the G800 it may have the same firm ware as the U900 and the F480. so try the code i posted if not then it means that the G800 is the last of the old firmware. But i do recommend the U900 it's a very nice phone to have. it can do what the G800 can do and more.

  • There is a massive evolving dictionary already built in... if you are texting and the word in wrong tap the 0 key to scroll thru words. if the word isn't there you can then add it. i noticed the dictionary seem to adjust acording to location(country) input in the phone... Hey some of you other guys really need to read the owners manual ppl won't answer obvious questions... pls read the manual play with the phone or read the specs on this site b4 you ask a question chances are you'll find the answer.

  • If you set the db too high you can blow the speaker... and that would be expensive. It has a bang& olfson speaker or a yamaha speaker in it.

  • Hi, where do I finde this code, I need it for my G800 as the incomming volume are very low

  • omfggggggggggggggggggggg if ur even thinking of getting this phone trust me get it it is faking awesome i just got it the screen is nice and big the touch scdreen is sick and the colour changer for the touch screen is also awesome and the themes creator , software already built into the phone is so sick and there is an advanced one for the personizable people or a simple one for the people that arnet very good at these things but still want a great theme!!! dude the camera is insane even though its 5mp the lenz is crazily detailed and you take a picture of somebodys head in fine picture mode then u can see each seperate blade of hair on the persons head!!! dudes get this phone you will sleep very well knowing you chose the right phone!!!! oh and i am a random im not a gay guy from the company trying to get people to buy this phone i swear guys this is a mad phone!!

  • Yes Jozvel the upgraded u900 has video calling the first one didn't i think. it should cost you about 480-500 for this phone depending on the colour. mine is black just cuz it matches all my tech. I think they have the steel theme and one that is based on the colour of you phone.

  • What do I do to turn off the 3G on this phone fed up off it draining my battery?

  • nope its not possible to plug it to a tv

  • hey, does this phone support video calls? if it does, i dont see any secondary camera for video calls on front of it..

  • I'm thinking of buying the U900, and would like to know if this phone has an alarm?

  • i just want to ask what is the original volume input or default volume for u900. so when i want it to change it to the original setting.

  • Yep, it has tasks with alarms =]

  • heyy! does this phone have 'tasks' or reminders that you can set to go off at a certain time??????

  • Yep you can zoom with the volume buttons while using the touch pad to move around. Oh and I download some of my wallpapers directly from Flickr to my soul, great quality ;)

  • If you want to use the front camera slide the phone up, and press the button in top left corner (above 1) that has an image. @ Everyone Are the speakers on the soul good? The answer is YES it is good as it is, but if you want it louder there is also a code which can change that.

  • Hey i was just wondering could somebody tell me if this phones speakers are any good?

  • How can u use front panel camera in U900? Plz help

  • Hey i whant to buy the u900 and i whant to know if you think it is good for a teenager and can you put a wallpaper on and how is the music i am asking you to pls send back before friday and what are the main problem thanx

  • It is a very good phone. The camera is very good(some friend's don't belive me that is a picture made with a phone camera). I bought the phone in july and from 26 august is in service because i have problems with the soul. On camera mode, some line appear in pictures like mud or something, i keep loosing signal, the phone is closing in my pocket or if i shake it a little bit. Now i wait to receive my soul back to see if they did something with him. I think i had a bad luck when i bought the phone :((

  • The phone is good, but nothing spectacular, and it has some bugs.. al least mine. 1.In phonebook i set it up to use only phone memory contacts, but when i write SMS and go to phonebook, there are both SIM and phone memory contacts... so i had to delete the SIM so i don't have double contacts when writing messages. 2. When i once connect it to PC as "media player", later (on reconnection) it woun't work as PC studio, i have to turn off/on the phone, sometimes even have to restart the phone settings. These two bugs are not a big problem for me, i bought the phone mostly because of the camera which is the best thing about this phone, and it is quite good for a cell phone. Question: Is it possible to set the camera to take three 5MPix photos when working in "panorama" mode? By default it takes some small photos, and i'd like to change it to be as big as possible. Tnx a lot in advance!

  • Cheers for that Genki.. I am doing more exploring with the phone right now and do like it, just a few issues here and there. Probably not issues to most people but I guess we may be a bit more picky : ) I do find it odd that everytime the phone is closed for more than 5 seconds or so you have to open it or go through a seriesof buttons to use it in the closed position. Very bizarre. Cheers, SH.

  • Sorry Stephen, there is no lock disable i can find... but i'm still playing w/ mine so if i find it i'll tell you. But try they hack it may be in there. and if you screw up you can just reset it to how it was before w/o losing memory.

  • no! it was samsung f480!

  • hi, please can anyne tell me how to lock my U900 so that I have to put a code in each time i go to use it, and so it locks automaticaly after say 30 seconds.

  • Had the phone 4 months now and love it. Confused with sms storage though. I get a message saying inbox full, delete some sms, but on the memory status, it will show 285/500. Can anyone please help??? It's a contract phone on vodafone.

  • OK, cheers for the information about the clock bar. One more thing though, Is there a way to disable the keypad lock that happens when the phone is closed. While the phone is closed the keypad lock seems to automatically come on, even to navigate using the touchpad I have to go through a process of unlocking the phone just to use the touch pad !! I have looked in the menu and it says the keypadlock is off. Anyone ? Cheers.

  • No that was the Motorola KRZR.

  • Wasn't this the official phone of the special Olympics!

  • is this scratch proof? or it is the same with u700 in which the side of the phone can get scratches easily? how about the pink u900 soul?.. pls help. im about to buy but need to kn ow first your opinion about its metallic finish.. coz, my ipod touch (back- metallic) have so many scratches (even taken cared of)

  • hay, i'm thinking to buy u900, i have some questions: 1-what is the time of battery working after full charge? 2-what about dropping it? my old phone was dropped for more than 30 times in 2 years and stii working good? will u900 be as this? 3-can i put message in special folders i make? 4-really it doesn't have caller ID ????????????????????????????????????????? 5-what about its sound? 6-what about price "in dubai for example"? 7- is all buttons" keypad" are by touch? or only upper ones are by touct? thnx alot

  • No you can't remove the clock in the top band, and yes the SOUL can handel an 8gb san disk micro sd.

  • Jono- If the phone is unbranded (Non Vodafone, etc.. version) it can handle up to an 8GB card.

  • HI. Just wanna know if the U900 can handle an 4 or 6 gig memory card?

  • Has anyone, anywhere figured out how (if) you can remove the clock/date bar that goes across the upper part of the standby screen ? It is ridiculous that there does not appear to be an option to hide it. It essentially means that there are always 2 different clocks on your standby screen. What was Samsung smoking when they devised this ?? The most pointless thing I have seen on a mobile yet. Other than that this is a great phone. Any recent firmware upgrades to correct this ? Cheers everyone!!

  • how do we use the photo slider? we cannot just add in photos frm our computer to the photo slider is it??

  • really gud phone...i bought it 2 weeks back...and it works gud..especially the touch pad...gud camera...really awesome phone.....and above all ..it has great battery life...

  • Here's how to make your Soul louder. Thx to Samret. Making your Samsung Soul MP3 and Ringrone Louder =============================== - Type *#0002*28346#. - It will bring up a menu. - Load Params. - Dump Params. - Call Config. - Press Back & it will bring up another longer menu. - Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu. - Then key in 4 to bring up have-QTune (MP3) menu. - Key in 1 to bring up SPK MP3 Vol. Menu. - Key in 6 to change the max. Volume. - Input 40 & 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. - Once done, press cancel to close the service menu & try to play a MP3 with max. Volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones & Message tones.

  • heyy.plz can i ask if any of u tried to use the front camera..i m not able to use ot tille now.. the second thing.. can i change the face with another colored 1???

  • this fone is soooooo awsome! the features and everything is totaly great.it will really last long with proper usage.trust me:)

  • I got a case for my D900, it's a rigid case with a flip over top with a magnetic catch. When i got my U900 it also fitted straight in. Got it from Carphone Warehouse (Am I allowed to say that??)

  • My samsung souls was fine for 3 months then battery wouldn't hold a charge for more than 24 hours. I booked it in for repair. They updated software and told me it was OK now. the only thing it rectified was loss of all my data. It is beginning to lose power from battery after a 2 minute call ffrom a full charge. It is completely dead after 24 hours on stand-by. The spec says up to 407 hours????

  • is there a code to increase the mp3 sound of the u900?? and battery life also is very disapointing. any solution for that?thx

  • thank you -*3,anyone can answer my sec qes: how to make the time on the wall paper disappear? thanks

  • Has anyone dropped their U900? how strong is this beautiful touch pad? The phone has everything I used on my Nokia N but just doesnt feel quite as robust.

  • can some one tell me if this phone is worth buying based on honest opinion? thanks ;)

  • is there anybody can tell me samsung u900 soul working good with AT&T? THANK YOU!

  • Yep. My Soul is still flawless after a month's usage.

  • thanx for the recommendation :)

  • is there a case for this phone?

  • thanx for the recommendation :)

  • Answer: I chose the Secret instead of the Soul. Why: Better design(athough brushed metal isn't bad). Accelerometer sensor for pictures,videos and games. Tampered glass to prevent screen scratches. I had a lot of phones and i don't know how they all got small but obvious scratches on the screen and i only carried them in the poket without anything else.The secret doesnt have scratches and i have it for 5 weeks already(and don't think that i have gave it a different treatment from the other phones i previosly owned) Better speaker sound. And of course the video recording capabilities.SLOW MOTION IS LOTS OF FUN! Conclusion:I strongly recomend the secret. But this doesn't mean that the soul isn't a worthy competitor. The only thing i like in the Soul thet is missing in the Kf750 is the fast responce time of the touchscreen navigation and the ability to create themes. But i take my secret in the grave :p

  • i inserted the microsd card and it has the little icon at the top of the screen showing it is correctly inserted, but i cannot seem to access the memory card from anywhere on the phone. when i select memory status it does not show there is a memory card there and when i go to memory settings the memory card option cannot be selected. i have used this micro sd in another phone so it is not a problem with that. can anyone help me??? would be much appreciated!!!

  • I am very confused. Should I buy U900 soul or LG KF750 Secret. I don't care about internet speed. Please help me!!

  • does it support 2gb card?

  • when ur going to adjust the font size of text jsut simply go to the text message ur reading and the button for the volume at the left side is also the font size adjust.. hope this will help you..

  • this phone has all that i need and of all the phones that i've owned this is my favorite. owned it for 4 months and it never crashed nor encountered any problems. would recommend this phone.

  • hw much memory does this fone hold??

  • lovely phone to look at-only had for an hour so working my way thru the booklet...but can someone please tell me how to change message tone ? i cant seem to find the tones option...i can for the ringtone but it wont even let me make one of them a message tone !!!! please help !

  • Yes it can handle 8gb micro sd card! I have 4gb in my u900,and phone works great just great! Its not slow at all and with 8gb is same!

  • Settings -> Call Settings ->All Calls -> Auto Reject (On) -> Reject List -> Scroll to required number(s) listed and uncheck box.

  • hold the # key for the (') apostrophe...

  • Hate that it is not a symbian phone and that there is no apostrophe either.Would be nice if the battery lasted longer.Love the touch panel and the fact that you could change the colour of the display.Otherwise not a bad phone.

  • I could'nt find the apostrophe either! in all smasung phone i think there isnt one! its irritating that I have to substitue the " with ^

  • Anyone know what the limit of the SD card this phone can contain? Can it handle an 8gb card?

  • i have 1 of these phones myself and i think they are goog phones. i would say its the best samsung they have made

  • u r not suposed to use the front cam as it is for 3g vidio call only but on the d900 theres a small mirror to look into ,next to cam it might be on this one but im not to sure

  • Ive had this phone for about a week now and although i stil dont think some of its features are as good as my old nokia, i think its great. I had the same problem with the battery for the 1st few days its fine now. It nearly went back though! 1 stupidly irritating thing is on the web you cant write in thd t9 mode, oh and i cant find the apostrophie either overall thotgh its fab

  • i have brought one just 3days, i have two questions to ask: 1.how to use the front cam, i mean HOW TO TAKE PICTURE OF MY OWN PICTURE FACING LCD/KEYPAD? 2.how to make the time on the wall paper disappear? thanks

  • the camera on the u900 is the same as the se c902 whoever asked

  • Oh and by all means if you like phones that crash a lot then go for the c902. But lets face reality. C902 Dimensions - 108 x 49 x 10.5 mm Soul Dimensions - 105 x 49.5 x 12.9 mm Not much of a difference. The Camera on the Soul is really good, and better than the C902, most reviews say that the Soul has more/deeper colours (good thing). N82 is more of a challenge than the C902 (Comparing it to one of the best 5mpx). Screen: Soul - 2.2 inches, 16M colors. C902 - 2.0 inches, 256K colors. Too many people complain about the unreliable performance of the C902 and I wouldn't blame them because my SE G900 which I had before my soul would just randomly freeze on me. However, the UI on the Soul is really smooth and fast, and the memory card slot isn't under the battery cover like the case of the C902. And no the C902 doesn't look better than the Soul, it looks like a typical SE phone. But seriously... when has anyone with experience complained about a Ultra phone being too big???

  • Nope no accelerometer. But as much as I love the soul, its not the best phone in the world for playing games. I have a few ironman, zelda, etc. Reason: 1. Only option to download games directly to phone (there is also a pc option which is somewhat hard/not recommended). 2. No wi-fi to dowload those games for free. The phone you're looking for seems to be the Nokia n85 (release Oct). It has an accelerometer, 5mp and ngage gamimg platform, wi-fi, etc. Or you can look at the Innov8 which has all these features (w/o ngage) and more.

  • the c902 got a great camera it looks better than the u900 and some how the c902 has a better design. i will never chose for the u900 it's to big i work in a phone shop and i will never present this one

  • I am irritated by its big font. Is there a way to reduce its font size? Thanks...

  • hey um..does this phone have accelerometer? i am planning to buy a phone with 3 mp + and good games.Can suggest me?

  • when we creat the theme can we change the icons? or is there any other way to change the icons

  • Can anyone please tell me how to delete words from the T9 dictionary. I accidentally added WMT instead of YOU and now it always comes up and is pissing me off.... Please anyone.

  • how to install software like the dictionary to samsung U900 soul???? pls...reply.....

  • fone is cool picture quaility is great

  • Hi Does anyone have a problem when Putting in a different sim card it loads up then 5mins later it comes up with this Error with Application then it just freezes there, it happens to every sim card I put in except for the one I'm using. the phone is unlocked as well. If anyone have this problem please let me know via email [email protected] Kind Regards L.j

  • if i hv $$, i definitely buy this hp. its so cool,although im female, i still impressed of it

  • I Am not really sure about camera! But i think that c902 have same 5mpx cam like k850 with no changes! Actualy c902 is k850 in diferent design,with some litle changes! And about cam many reviews says that u900 have same good quality of pics like k850 and n95 maybe bether! with bether colors!but just on daylight..bc k850 have bether flash and i think c950 to! so..if u want cyber-shot camera phone than go for c950!but if u want bether design,materials,screen,samsung player,touch pad,theme creator..go for soul

  • anyone knows how the U900 camera compare to SE C902? I really can't decide between these two. Both of them have really good design.

  • I really liked the K850I but the phone is prone to factory defects or software errors. I had mine and got a replacement phone twice in less than a year. Even the level 5 service technician couldn't tell me what was wrong with the phone. So I had to change it for a different models before the warranty expired or be left with a very expensive paper weight. I even asked sony and the K850i is a problomatic phone to say the least. If you got one and it works fine, congrats to you it is a great phone but the risk of getting a lemon is way to high for comfort. weee

  • Yep, its one speaker, but the volume is much higher when used for playing mp3s or watching videos.

  • this phone don't have....3.5

  • I am very close to buying this phone. Can somebody tell me if this has 3.5 mm audio jack? I need to be able to connect it to my car stereo jack.

  • This Fone does Have a secondry camera for video call!

  • Yep, my K850 was unstable until i updated the FW. Glad you're enjoying your U900, its a real keeper, i change phones around once a year so i keep mine for quite a while before moving on.

  • I love the spec of this phone i would promote it until theire were none of these left it just works so effortlessy and still works after a while YOU ROCK ALL SOUL ARTISTS

  • The biggest mistake is it's not a quadband and don't have a secondary camera for vid call.

  • Hi there chicky529!!!!!!! I thought you had it figured out lol..... Anyway it is a great phone and I am extremely happy with it..

  • Hi U900 owners.. Just want to know if the earpiece for call and the loudspeaker for music player is the same for this phone? or does it have a separate loudspeaker for music playing? Thanks.

  • hey all just need some help with this U900 i have had it for a week now and its a great phone, i know how to work most things but i would like to know how to set the message tone as i can not figure out how to do it, i want to set it to a real tone!!!! can someone help me do this please????? thanks

  • My K850 has R1EA031 FW and is fast. Lol theres no way the Soul is better. The K850 is also well built, it has metal under the plastic, and a mineral glass display. Its software is far more advanced than your little Samsung mate. Can the U900 even multitask? As in run multiple apps at once. Ive used it before, its nice but the K850 is better, its more versitile and allows me to install some decent software.

  • I Totally disagree with u! I haved k850 before u900 and i change it after 20 days! That phone sucks,plastic sucks,software sucks,its so so slow,it turns off 2-3 times for a day,cant read some files from micrsd card! U900 is bether 5 times,it looks great,its faster,it have bether camera and player! U must use soul in hand thats experiance,and than talk!

  • How do i know? I have the phone!

  • As much as i like the design and build materials of the U900 im glad i chose my SE K850 over the U900. The K850 can run multiple apps at once, its screen is protected by mineral glass, it takes both m2 and microSDHC, xenon flash, USB charging, modding, advanced Walkman3.0 player, accelerometer for auto rotation ,and a fully animated Media Manager. I think the SE K850 is a far better allround device, but U900 Soul is a great competitor.

  • Hi! I just bought U900. It's seems to be perfect but battery life is for me very short. It lasts about a day with 1h conv. Is this normal? How can I improve battery performance? Thanks in advance!

  • eny1 no hw to block numbers on this phne?

  • No it will not peel off trust me! Sound quality is really good! Its great! Have grat chip for music! Camera quality is good as k850 and n95 on daylight!

  • Will the silver painting peel come off? I had a Samsung SGH U700 and it does!:( Is the sound good? My U700 ain't bad. Is the 5MP camera as good as the Nokia N95? I'm desperate to know all this because I want it so badly!!:(

  • Had it 2 months and sent it for repair twice already. Slide broke and always turned off when i closed the slide.. Apart from this it is a good phone.

  • it is quad band - triband GSM and UMTS (3G) also.. so it will work for you

  • I am an addict fan for all samsung mobile.As I rode the specifications of Samsung U900 soul, I found out that the features it have is just the same with the other Samsung Mobile found in the category of music load like the F250!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Being this is a TriBand phone it won't work in the US right? It needs to be a quad band gsm to work. Curious if I am thinking correctly or not.

  • no the phone is not a touch screen it has a touch pannel that can be customised thou.

  • Hi all.. I just wanna know... How do u change the msg tone???

  • is this touchscreen?

  • Hy all! I just bought a samsung u900, and I have a bad intuition about the battery. I charged it up fully first time about 16h long. But it ran out of battery after 2 days on average usage. I dont use it too much (but i will). Does anybody have any experience on real battery time of u900?? I dont know whether it is normal time of usage, touchpad and the big screen might have big energy consumption or I have a bad buttery. regards szab
