  • I have the answer to your question when your cell phones battery is completely discharged just apply some saliva from your mouth to battery points and after that just leave it for 5min's now all you need todo is rub the battery points with a led pencil and insert it back into your phone and plug the charger connecter on it now dont turn your cell phone on until you see the battery full indications when you see the battery full indication disconnect your phone from charger and turn it on.

  • Christophe - yes the backlight is off after 15 secs (u can set it actually, max is 10 mins) and u can set a periodic alert for sms- so if u receive an sms and the screen is blank, it will just ring after some minutes. Not sure for calls though. Hope this helps.

  • My own samsung is SGH T-509 and it look exactly like this Samsung Z150, its settings are good but the little problem of it is about its ringing volume. the volume is not as loud as it suppose to be...............well talking about the outlook. it is very nice...slim and smart in deed.........yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I realy like this phone very well except its ringing volume. the volume is not as loud as it suppose to be...............well talking about the outlook. it is very nice...slim and smart in deed.........Kuddos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • its a great phone,the bad thing is that it doesnt have a card slot

  • tis phone is very bad bad bad...dont buy it.....its not orignal in pakistan...its lcd was not too good as compared to nokia 2200....its bad phone.

  • i have been using this phone for 2 months, and getting great performance everytime. i do not know what happened after this period couz during charging it will indicate the battery is full and when i remove the charger the situation remains ''low battey''. can someone help me find its agencies to fix my phone. im in joburg

  • i have now by now but gos very well

  • Yeah its a beautiful outlik with slim body but the only fault in found in it is that the battery timing is not good and needs to be charge daily otherwise its marvelous.

  • Not a bad phone but i find it has poor signal reception and the battery needs to be charged every day, sometime it does not ring out it takes me up to 12 attempts to make a call. The best thing about it is its the toughest phone i have ever had. I had trouble smashing it and throwing it in a fit of rage when i was unable to make a call and the bloody ting still works fine with all the damage on it. I am now retiring it to purchase a K610i.

  • beautiful, BUT 2 things: voice recorder will not record calls and you will not reach contacts during the call.

  • Great phone--thin, battery lasts forever, no one else has one.

  • Can anyone tell me how to change the ring tone for recieving texts and get some volume on it I dont even hear the text come thru that will help me allot thanks

  • Any one know how to enlarge the Photo Caller ID? kindly assist,

  • Help!! Does anyone know how to set the ringtone with a mp3 file instead of a polyphonic one?

  • Help!! Does anyone know how to set the ringtone with a mp3 file instead of a polyphonic one?

  • First of all, the sound in this phone is awful, deceiving, but with the headphones u get a good quality of sound. Second the phone is a little bit longer than it should be. Third, there's no memory stick and the mobile storage capacity is very low compared to others, add to this that the samsung z150 doesn't accpet ".jad applications extension but ".jar" which make it harder for the user to find all the games and applications in the market.i'll stop here coz the list is long...

  • to increase ringing volume, you might want to choose outdoor settings on the profile menu. i have two of these Z150 and they work beautifully on two different networks..

  • I broke my phone... I loved it, but I was just wondering if it was fragile, or if I was just being a little rough with it

  • beutiful

  • Does anyone know how to increse the volume level of this phone? You can barely hear the ringtones... This is one downside of this otherwise great phone.

  • I have this phone. It`s sleak, clear, & I love it!!!

  • This phone is OK except for it's poor sound quality...Though volume already adjusted to the max... limited memory... Not satisfied with this phone's volume at all.

  • Hi all! Just curious: r u people who own this phone satisfied with it? I personaly think that this phone is very sexy in white. I also like the fact that the z150 is slim, but not too slim like x820.

  • I brought this phone at 2.38 on December 3 2006 on the internet and the phone will be coming to me on Tuesday

  • Hi, want to get a third phone,I got two right now, an ancient T610 which I refurbished for $15 bucks and which I can't seemed to let go of,and n93 which I love to death! I want a third 3G phone,and the Z series seemed to fit the bill. I'm interested in the Z720 and z150, how much did you get yours for? Coz I want to haggle with my cellphone reseller,hehehe.Thanks!

  • Need to some help! I have 2 of these phones, I think they are great in looks, price and features, but the problem I have on both phones is that sometimes I can change the NETWORK settings and sometimes it says "network settings change failed". Therefore, half the time the phone is in "network search mode" and I cannot use the phone. Please help.

  • I saw on mobilereview.com that this phone also plays WMA. Is this true? Because there is no WMA support written here...

  • BE REALIST GUYS: How can this phone have 900 mAh batterry, when it is only 10mm thick? I didn't know that Samsung has adavanced so much ahead of Panasonic! If Panasonic had this special secret Samsung's technology, then in its 26 mm thick SA7 model there would be a 2000 mAh batterry instead of 1600. CONCLUSION: Lie after lie, after lie after lie! No wonder people always complain about Samsungs' and Sony's batterry life performance!!!!

  • i want to buy this phone , is it good , please help !!! your opinion can help me much , thank you !

  • I've never had a bar type phone, always a flip. This is more of a question for all the guys out there but has anyone had a problem with scratches on the screen? In my opinion, a bar type phone, once shoved into your front pocket, will eventually scratch, get a ton of dust inside the screen etc....Do you all agree with this or not? I am thinking about getting this phone but just not a if I should keep getting a flip phone to help protect the screen. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • I'M Not a Samsung lover, due to negative experience with sound quality on all Samsung phones, but since Samsung finaly started puting BLUETOOTH in almost all new phones, this attractive and simple model is perfect to me. GREAT JOB-SAMSUNG!

  • I'd buy this phone in a new york minute. Except it's not on GSM 8xx, which means it won't work too well in the States, particularly with Cingular.

  • it is a best mobile,f u have then u have ur girl friend,because it looks and behaves like girlfriend.i have this one,u know i feel it is every thing for me.aditya n.

  • I really want this phone, oh so badly

  • This is like the 3G version on the samsung SGH-T509

  • Can anyone help with directions to source of Bluetooth driver for my Palm T3 to suit this lovely phone? Can do image transfer, and contact tranfer, but when I get the phone to "dial" from the Palm, it dials, then drops an open phone line! Also, SMS doesn't work... :-[

  • slim design was NOT motorolas idea. Ericsson with R320 (the best looking business class phone to date imho) and T39 (with larger battery it had stand-by time up to 1 month and was really wel built so i could open beer bottles with it) was first.

  • it is posibble:)

  • hey everybody! i'm wondering if it's possible to play mp3 music through bluetooth headset which is included with this phone. thx for answers. greetings from slovenia. j.

  • Hi! I am proudly new owner of this beautiful samsung phone, but was wondering, how can I mute inside call complitly (I can only mute the sound by pressing volume key, but cant mute vib) and how can I put blank on wallpaper.. Thank you!

  • First week of next month (July). Just got that E-Mail reply from Samsung...

  • You can get this phone in spain:

  • Just saw this great phone while I was looking up another new Samsung model. But the Z150 is far better as its a 3G phone. Glad to see someone finally made a 3G phone in this format. Regarding the copying of Motorola's candybar format, actually I know in Japan there is a phone called InfoBar that has been on the market for two years already. So, maybe Motorola wasn't the first after all.

  • And Samsung can learn from Moto's. The Slim design is Moto's idea. Plus L7 has card slot that makes it really great audio player for its money! And it's reliable enough, it's Moto. I don't have the same opinion for Samsungs! For me - L7 is better! But they are different - this is 3G, and the L7 is multimedia phone.

  • my girlfriend have the tmobile version andi heard someone talking of this phone being able to have MP3 ringtones other than polyphonic i've gotten mmfs to work on them but they aint the best of quality so i was wondering if, and if yes, how that is done alrighty thanks

  • This reminds me of the T509 that they sell to T-Mobile. The slim L6/L7-like design is nice.

  • what is the resolution for video recording?

  • This phone is out now. Selling it myself and is a good price. Also I like the brick idea of phones. Looks like the L6/L7 idea and is a nice light phone also with the Samsung name behind it means its a reliable phone. Motorola can learn from Samsung.

  • add fm radio

  • I did a lot of research on the t509 for tmobile in US. There's no way you can shut off the camera sound. It's a bugger! Awesome phone. I love it. So-So voice quality. A bit longer compare to other bar phones. But i love the weight. Skinny phone like my hot body.

  • Well... Motorola is based in the U.S. and Samsung around the world... they didn't steal... its the way companies do things. I have a question actually. I just got the similar model of this phone. I'm in the US and got the t509 from T-mobile. This one is the closest i can find to it. Is there a way i can program to take the click sound from the camera silent? I figured out how to change tones from 3 options but i can't just remove it completely. It sounds funny when i take pictures... its so loud.

  • First they copied the Razr, now this! It is a total rip-off of Motorola's Slvr. It is so sad when a company has to constantly steal ideas from another....

  • Yup you can use mp3 as ringtones. Just select it from the profile menu...!

  • Review says it has polyphonic tones. I've heard of MP3 tones.

  • Does anyone know what kind of Java performance this device has ? Try running jbenchmark 1& 2 from and post the results here and there. Thank you. Carlos.

  • Avaiable at Congular as Z150

  • Ive had this phone for a few days now, its pretty nice but i have one big problem with it, everyone i call comlains that they cant hear me very well, i was wondering if anybody els has that problem or if its just my example

  • I have 2 BIG problems !!! 1: I can not transfer a jpg picture on to this phone! 2: what format do the songs have to be in order to set them as "ring tone" ? I tried, mp3 and 3gp. I tried to send mmt from my t809, and from my computer, but the transfer would not work! please HELP !!! thank you in advance. MJ.

  • yup. phone came out on monday may 1st. and i ordered it as soon as it was released. i just receieved the phone today. perfect size. everything about it is nice. im just worried dust may get in the earpiece part of the phone. and there's no way i can clean it. :( i dont want the earpiece volume to get worst. texting is fast, not as quick as nokia's tho. lenght of the actual phone is pretty LOOONG, compare to regular non flip phone. I LOVE IT. and it only cost me 100 bucks. for one year extended contract. 50 for 2 years.

  • A Non-3G (850/1800/1900 MHz) version called t509 has been launched in the US under T-Mobile.

  • Samsung Z150 is now aviable on the Swedish market bundled with operator "3" (HutchinsonWhampoa). Without subscription retail price is SEK2995 (approx. 320Euro). See aritcle in magazine mobil.se

  • Koreans have the slimmest Samsung as well. X828 is only 6.9mm still with 2mp cam.Hope they make a GSM version as well.

  • L7?

  • oh yeah, asia have some very great handphone with alot of super function like 8MP camera, huge hard disk space, etc... ops but without count in their super low battery life, yet some really bad interface that really hard to get use to, and always with not complete as a handphone functions like its not being mobile and somewhat UNIQUE design, yeah there is some great mobile. haha.

  • Let's get one thing straight: it has two VGA cameras

  • Why do people always assume that Samsung copies Motorola's style?! Samsung is a Korean company and Motorola is an American company (I hate the name Motorola - it makes it sound like they're Japanese even though they're not). Most of the phones that Samsung releases over in the U.S. have already been around in Asia for years. Just because the Motorola phones (particularily the RAZR) are more well known in the U.S. than any phone that Samsung releases, doesn't necessarily mean that Samsung is trying to steal designs off of Motorola. You can only come up with so many "unique" designs for a cell phone. In fact, there are many cell phones that may bare a resemblance to each other, not just necessarily Samsung and Motorola. In fact, if Samsung really wanted to steal Motorola's designs, they could have incorporated that silver plate looking keypad used on most of the newer Motorola phones such as the RAZR and SLVR, but they didn't. That silver keypad of Motorola's is what I think keeps them unique, so quit bashing on Samsung. I'll admit that Motorola's designs are pretty sleek, innovative and stylish. However, most of their phones don't have that many features (for example the RAZR v3c doesn't have even have an mp3 player and their display resolution isn't even 320x240 which IMHO is good to watch videos on). Motorola may have it when it comes to looks, but over in Asia, they already have an 8 megapixel camera phone, even a phone with 8GB HDD. So please, stop comparing Samsung to Motorola, especially when they're both from 2 different countries and they both cater to the U.S's tastes differently. Korea and Japan have the most advanced cell phone technology. Whatever we get here in the U.S. compares nothing to what they have over there. Although a lot of their cell phone designs may look similar, I believe that Samsung does their own thing and Motorola does theirs.

  • Supeeeeeer!!!! i want this phone.hope it will not be too expensive. =P~

  • This fone is cool . but tehre should be a camera and a card solt .other vise it is cool and sleek i would love to buy one
