Wuhoo V6!!! anyway as i was asking at the end of V5, have anyone gone to sg. wang and played with the Galaxy Tab? Seems like it has Froyo as reported.

After u silap slap the wrong thing instead of your pocket sakit wei!!!

or you can always double click on the word, it will highlight that particular word and change it, i think you can find this info in the swype tutorial, still trying to get used to swype but i love it cos its fast and smooth

Even with a data plan of 1.5Gb they charged me so high because i over used by around 100Mb, was charged additional RM200. If your not under any contract with Maxis, i suggest move to Digi, their data plan is unlimited!!

The area where i am staying have been having 3G Network issues for the past week, called them and they say they are trying to resolve the issue, i mean can i get some kinda rebate for this issue they are having?

Congrats on getting a great phone, plenty to learn here, try going through the tutorial in the swype option, it helps a lot to go through the tutorial. you basically move from one word to another to form the word you are looking for. for example, "SWYPE", place your finger on "S", then move to W by sliding your finger on the keypad, then slide to "Y", then "P" and finally "E". its actually that simple.

now if you ur asking how to activate SWYPE keypad, hold on the text box for few seconds, the option will appear.

you can also find a lot of help on SWYPE via You Tube

Also, I find that games like Abduction which use the sensor will not properly disable the sensor after exiting. This is a huge power drain for me even on Voodoo JM8 as the sensor's running at 100% the whole time. I've only been able to fix this by reseting the phone. Weird.
I've identified a few battery sucking apps which I've either uninstalled or do not run at all, not sure if you guys agree:
1. WhatsApp (lagged, delayed messages, sucked power, no way to disable)
2. Trillian (this was a real battery killer - I hate it now)
3. eBuddy (was always a battery killer)
4. Tweetdeck (great app, shame about the power suckiness)

i use meebo IM over ebuddy because ebuddy really drains battery fast though i prefer ebuddy interface. anyone knows any better IM that have good performance?

But the problem with MSN Talk is it is only if you have a msn account, if you have Yahoo then you need to install another App, i'm quite happy with Meebo actually but i do keep Ebuddy cos i dont mind using it once in a while altough it sucks battery life. Wish everyone can standardize and use Gtalk

no have not tried Nimbuzz or Fring, actually downloaded Nimbuzz but when it ask for Register, i gave up, although it is free, i just do not want to register with so many IM apps but if someone can confirm that this 2 IM app you mentioned is worth trying i might change my mind

Wah you damn good ah can understand his question, i was looking through my SGS and mine shows 4156mV at 97% (Unplugged like an hour and half ago) but what Meng Suan mentioned about the battery is spot on.

For some reason, i find connecting via Tethering is faster than Mobile AP, not really sure why. The reason i overshot my 1.5Gb limit was cos of Tethering.

As far as i know, IMEI # is usually embedded with the GSM/3G Module in the phone, it is a fixed value which cannot be changed, its a unique code for the phones GSM/3G module, perhaps someone can verify this

Refer explanation on IMEI # via Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...ipment_Identity

seems like its a unique # for the GSM Module as i have mentioned

Go read this article and decide : http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_gala...-review-500.php

but there are many other articles you can read to compare both phones

most of us here will probably like you to get the SGS but end of the day, its better you decide what is best for your needs

You can monitor your battery usage in Settings-About-Battery Use. Usually the Display uses the most. You need to specify your usage pattern for us to make a better judgement on why your battery is draining fast. anyway, i do charge it almost everyday, perhaps something you need to get used to; the price one pays for owning a smart phone.

very nice

if your phone is still new then the battery life will not be so good, give it a couple of weeks and see how. mine is more than 3 months old, with normal usage of sms, calls, check email sometimes can last 2days. but if you browse and actively use the phone, it will drain fast usually 1 day. i believe display eats up a lot of juice. also try to set your network to 2G if you are not surfing, can improve battery life by quite a lot.

for the bad, nothing you can do on the phone unless you decide to carry a torchlight if you decide to take pictures at night, for flash and software imrpvement, it will only get better with time. froyo already supports flash. basically all phones got pros and cons

most if not all batteries have a built in protection circuit, if it detects the voltage level is full it will auto cut off, so dont worry, most people do the same thing with lap tops
