The Samsung G400 Soul has a high-gloss brushed metal finish and a rich touch-centric user interface. The unique about the Samsung G400 Soul is that it has two identical displays - a 2.22-inch 262K color one on the outside, and a 2.22-inch 262K color one on the inside.

The external display is fully touch-operated and gives access to multimedia features such as FM radio, music player, camera, and photos. It also displays the phone's system notifications.

The external display also provides haptic feedback with short vibrations when touched. Pity enough, we don't have an image of the display actually working at this stage.

The Samsung G400 Soul is also equipped with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera that comes with advanced features such as face recognition, the widely advertised Samsung's Wide Dynamic Range optimization and image stabilization.

As far as connectivity is concerned, the G400 has fast 7.2Mbps HSDPA support with video calls, Bluetooth, and USB. A microSD memory card slot is also there to fill in.

Somehow we couldn't help but think that the G400 was meant to be announced along with the U900 Soul in Barcelona as Samsung used to do with their two previous Ultra lineups, but obviously the company has decided to keep thinks on focus and concentrate their marketing efforts on one product at a time.

The Samsung G400 Soul will be available in Europe from June.

Nice design and great features too! If the price here in Malaysia is < RM2000 then I think its a good buy.

that is not quoted price... if that the price, i guess it will crash the 5mp market real hard.

and dont just pluck the numbers from a oversea website when u dont know to add the taxes and shipping fees.

my guess it will be around U900's price, or maybe slight more than U900 due to dual screen which is 2.2" together. but my bet will be around RM1799 or so.

Anyway, i find Samsung starts to get sexy with their designs..

actually wat i mean is the price and performance... definitely price is my 1st priority as i m tight budget now... tongue.gif for the performance, u can search as youtube and read comment from other country abt the cons on the hp... tisis the research u need to do be4 getting a new hp... n of coz... trying it urself will be the best... jus go to any samsung showroom to try the hp urself... see whether it suit u or not... laugh.gif

what i meant was do samsung phones have problem when they first release their phones.

cz i hear nokia and SE phones which always have problems when they are first released then they will update the frimware etc etc new stock to fix the problem.

so i was just wondering if any samsung phone have this problem.

btw when was it released in Msia O.o? no ad or anything so far

its around 1.5k or 1.4k.... saw it few weeks ago...

lolz y_owez.... i tot u were aiming for this phone long since the phone was released in europe?

i played with this phone before... did ask about the external touchscreen, will it lock itself? because u can accidentally touch it when it's in ur pocket.

the sales guy say ya it will lock but didn't say how laugh.gif

the external touch wins big time.. sadly the internal screen is the same size and kinda small.

ringtone is not really loud, but the sound quality is really good from the speaker, with earphone (g600 unit which i think kinda sux when i paired with g600), i can only say wow, compare to g600 which to me is decent sounding, this phone sounded like it have higher wattage and lots more detail, the eq, altho preset improve alot from g600..hmm, comparable to wolfson mp4 player smile.gif have yet to try with my mylar x3

yes it does have the adapter

hmm i listen to 2hours++ music and around 30 photos taken with lots of playing around with the phone, it is now still full bar.

transition...only the fix 1, too bad, love it in my g600

theme, yes smile.gif


i try u900 before, it was exciting at 1st then bcome abit boring to me cos im kinda use to the design, this model here caught my attention, built is solid, the whole phone i kinda big, it will make you think are those screen really 2.2" biggrin.gif love the touch screen and photo viewing on it, u can even watch video there full screen (recorded with the phone).

reception is good, better then g600, voice is loud and clear and the mic is great, my gf was complaining about the ceilling fan being noisy (wind sound) for the 1st time of many times i talk to her with g600 in the same room.

photo is way better then g600, which i think is pretty decent, search online and you will see tht it is even better then g800..
compare to u900, the photo didnt turn blur when u review it after you taken the photo, 1 thing i miss tho of all the new tech installed, night mode, how come there is no night mode!? but photo under low light is kinda good, it doesnt have very serius blur tint tht most of the camera phone have in such condition. file size is alot bigger compare to g600, ranging from 0.9mb to 1.6mb so far. face recognition work on 1 face so far, other new tech stuff yet to try.

under low light the flash will turn on when you focus even when its set to off, i guess tht help with the focusing

so, the camera is better then the U900? I was thinking of getting the U900 too, until i saw the G400

btw photo viewing on the touch screen is abit slow when it is loading from memory, in my case 2gb, unlike previous model, photo can now be zoom in even if its store in the memory and you can choose next under full screen rather then exit and choose again which is annoying.
photo taking can be done without needing to exit the music player, too bad tht sms cant be view on the touch screen, such a simple stuff...c'mon samsung, why design such a great phone and cut short on some of the design? video taking on cif instead of vga is not accpetable for a 5mp camera!!!

abt the battery, i totally forgotten tht it will charge once i plug into the pc, so the battery life mention above is not accurate anymore, but charging was for like 10-15mins only on the pc.

thx tongue.gif just helping out, and it is really tempting me too, cheaper yet much more fun compare to u900, i think sg set will kinda cheap when they arrive?
i never got the chance to use the u900 for a day or 2, only play around a little while...but u900 should be able to handle atleast 2 days i think on moderate usage, typical samsung, if i change my phone again this will be the 4th samsung i use smile.gif so on battery wise they normally last me around 2-3 days with some music and only few calls or sms a day.

aiya tot u weare talking abt the battery...butalah me....hahaha

camera wise, i got no idea as i nvr upload it to the pc, u900 blur out when u review it on the phone, much worse the g600, but it is totally different when u view it on the pc, from gsmarena, which rate the u900 to be the best 5mp camera taking over n95, u900 got larger file on pic compare to g400, king of details they say, g400 is comparable tho, mayb loose out only in the details part which i think it wont make a huge different

i've never used clamshell form factor, so i won't know if it like until i try.
what really got me interested is the 2.2" touch screen on the cover. much bigger then the U900 which i'm also interested to get.

btw, i think this phone is easier to take spyshots since you don't need to flip open the phone, unlike sliders.

real pic? hmm then i goto use my g600 to snap it....returning to owner this saturday...hahahha

keypad is kinda stiff, reminds me of moto V3, not as bad tho. dpad and the ok button in the middle need some getting use to especially those with big fingers tongue.gif and the phone is big, hard to open and close too for me since im use to slide smile.gif

haih....miss call number cant be view on the external screenler...sien

i think of all the phones, nokia has the most function with thier symbian OS, SE and moto still pretty much standard, i was tempted to buy SE k850i when it 1st launch since i got jalan for cheap unit, but i gave up the idea once i played with it for 15mins, not much different from my S700i tongue.gif

well in this price range we are getting 2 identical screen smile.gif but im still hating samsung for cutting it short with the external screen function, reading sms and viewing miss call number isnt tat hard to put in right? and 320x240 video recording is crap!!! hahaha i rather they take away 50mb of space from the internal memory. and mp3 still needed to be in the internal memory for ringtone to work...haih....

hopefully they dont come out with a g400i to add those function in, haha.

just realize u900 price drop till g400 level edi...wow thts kinda fast right? but i think spec wise g400 still better.

lg price kinda stable tho...lg camera department also improve quite a bit this year, but samsung the best so far from review, innov8 is best of the 8mp by gsmarena...

in the office with downlight, g600 didnt do too well, color kinda good, making myself droll only...hahaha

that's what i thought too, especially since i bought the phone in Kepong and not downtown Sungai Wang or LYP.

warranty is 12 months

mini review
likes:
1) camwhore phone - flip open and have the 5MP camera pointing straight at you with a large 2.2" display screen to look at instead of a puny view finder mirror.
2) stealth picture taking - take pictures without flipping open the phone
3) easy picture taking - camera button sticks out of the side
4) improved camera software - finally, it doesn't suck anymore. and I dare say it can rival camera expert SE
5) touch screen! - many many uses, especially in camera mode
6) i like the look of the phone
7) compared to my previous L760, the software in the G400 has improved allot, especially in the SMS department.

things that can be improved:
1) taking pictures difficult in camwhore mode - when the phone is flipped open, the camera button is on the right side. it will benefit lefties, but right handers might need some practice balancing and taking the picture with one hand. i know that you can take picture by pressing the keypad, but it doesn't autofocus. and since i have big fingers, using the keypad to take pics will sometime have my thumb blocking part of the lense.
2) show SMS in the outer screen is MUCH appreciated
3) would be nice if there's touchscreen games like bejeweled
4) free games, so that I wouldn't have to pay RM8 for tetris

that's all i can think off. lots of other features i haven't try yet like movies, music, other built in software.

and since this is my first clamshell, i have yet to find a comfortable way of holding the phone to talk without getting facial grease onto the inner screen.

LOL. Then tomoro we do an experiment la. Purposely call u and then u answer and we see the reaction of others. laugh.gif

Perhaps you can map the bluetooth shortcut to one of your keys on the main screen? I do it on my Nokia, but IIANM Samsung should have a function like that too. Maybe you can try it out?

it's probably optical illusion, but i do find the G400 look bigger then the V3.

I've mapped out the bluetooth function, but to turn it off i still need to navigate the bluetooth menu, not like the K750, which is much simpler.

only the startup greeting was "My maxis", didn't find any maxis wallpaper though.
at the main menu the right [--] button is a globe icon.
unlike the L760 (which i had year ago), where the right [--] button shows "Maxis" word. and comes loaded with maxis wallpaper.

warranty is 12 months.

yesterday I was at LYP to get 4gb memory card and screen protector for my G400, and at the same time survey for latest pricing for G400. Before discount: Rm1350 free 1gb memory (samsung both)
RM1370 free 2gb (VS com)

btw, i can't find screen protector for this phone. asked a few shops, they said it's new, so not out yet.

i thought black was going to be pure black like the colour of the phone's back.
but its greyish.

gold is better full gold, pink too.

anyone know where to get this phone a reliable dealer. or should i just go to the samsung authorised shops?

got the phone sumtime bk...well worth the money...havent uploaded the pics to my com yet...but the other pics here pretty much are the same...

battery life very satisfying...if jst left o standby with normal calling n messaging can last abt 3-4days without charging...havent tried using the mp3 player n camera till d batt runs dry yet...so not sure how long it will last in those circumstances...

put in a 8gb card...filled it up with songs...phone hasnt lagged one bit...still as smooth as when it din have any memory card...

bought it in lowyat dat time price was 13++...12 months warranty only...directly from the samsung shop there...

only disappointment is that the headphones they gv with the set is really crap...

I've been using this phone for a week without any protection (not even screen protector). so far not a single scratch. but lots of smudges from facial oil and finger prints, especially the chromed lining and screen.

i clean it daily with microfiber cloth bought from Eneos (RM5 for 4 sheets about A3 size). planning to use those special lens cloth when budget permits.

i've asked the skinning service (first floor LYP) and the one in SG wang.
they don't have translucent skins. all their skins comes with patterns. they don't even have plain black.

anyways, those skins are not as versatile as invisible shield mentioned by askarperang

1) it's plastic with bling bling chrome. Even though it's plastic, i think they lacquered it really well since it doesn't scratch easily.

2) no, you cannot change different functions. unlike the U900.

hi rusty,

from the g400 brochure, it is writen there metal casing, i tot is V3 type...so only the back battery cover is made from metal?

hi swine,

yup, only the back battery cover is metal.

front LCD functions:

music player
(music only) like SE W series

FM Radio
need headphones to work

Camera/video recorder
self explanatory

Album (picture/video viewer)
it only view pictures and pics from 2 folders only "my video clips" and "my pictures" in the phone memory and mem card


Misc
standby mode can choose different types of clock/calender display


no SMS reading.

hi rusty..
thx for giving me the insider info for this phone..

if the outer lcd could do wit sms reading and the phone cover is metal casing den it would be a PLUS PLUS point..will get it immediately without hesistating:)

but i still like this clampshell baby, i'm a loyal samsung supporter, and samsung had been sometime not producing any decent clampshell since the E700 which is a big HIT 5-6years ago...

will get my hand on this baby soon, altot i still wish the size can become smaller a bit..haha

I was in the similar situation like you too, regarding the metal case. but it appears that the plastic outer shells is not as plasticy feeling as SE clamshells. and despite its plastic built, it feels really solid.

about the SMS, since i'd be replying the message almost all the time when i read it, i guess i can forgive that lack of reading function. but yeah, if they can make sms reading through the front screen would be a really big plus point.

press pictures are always different looking. the phones are taken by professionals using high end camera, multiple light source, and sometimes photoshopped to look nicer.

HELLO!!! Just bought this phone hours ago online from WWW.MYBIDS.COM.MY. Will be getting my phone from andybravo this Thursday or Friday. RM1401 because I paid online. Original price he offered was RM1360. Slightly more expensive. Because I only have few hundred with me and I'm sick with my Samsung D500C keypad, so I had to buy it online using card by Friday. Flying to Kuching this Friday. WEEEE~~~

I was looking for N76 actually but the spec is.. YOU KNOW WHAT. Haha. 2mp only and it's around RM900. I wanted a flip phone so I chose G400. Yeah~~~ Silver. Is there a black? I think it should be silver. I tried to google it but found out there are only silver and gold. Based on those pictures. Silver + black actually. I'm also a user of SE K770i but the keypad seems to be very sensitive after few months I use it. More like touch sensitive already especially for buttons 7, left and right. The keypad is also quite difficult to press. Very hard. My one is purple color. My friend got the brown one. The keypad seems fine. Maybe it hasn't gone into trouble yet. Haha~ I have 2 numbers, so I'm getting my second hp!!! And I've got a G400 for myself! Yeah~ Time to work harder to pay off the debts. -__-"


Oh ya. Would like to ask if the phone can support up to 4GB microSD or not. I scared the phone will hang easily if the memory slot I put in is too big. Just want to check what's the capacity. Unlimited?

I think there is only one difference, black is all black in colour.
While for silver, there is some black colour in some part of the phone.

the camera button is meant to be that way, some what similar to the SE K750 where half press is to activate autofocus only, press longer/harder is to take the picture.

huh? keypad a bit stiff? hmm hmm.. u mean for each button in d keypad? maybe it's still new. haha. or u get used to iphone oredi. so u feel dat it's stiff! kekeke... i think most of the keypads found in the phones are stiff. i duno.. i know my K770i is stiff, D500C is stiff. except those classic phones, i think keypad nowadays is meant to be stiff. icon_rolleyes.gif

2 cents? those who want unique color, maybe can try gold. i think most of the people will go for the greyish black or silver. ladies will go for pink. hehe... i was having dilemma between gold and silver. got my suggestions from friends, so i decided to take the silver wan. enough of being UNIQUE. i already have a PURPLE k770i. haha...

yeah! got my phone from andybravo just now!!! didn't have enough time to really test through all the functions. i think samsung has improved a lot!! COMPARED to my poor D500C which is 4 years back oredi. HAHA. i love the external screen function. dun hav to flip my phone to take photo, check calendar and time! and i love the camera function. u dun have to turn d phone around to take photo of urself! it functions like a mirror. haha. if u wanna take someone or something else, can just close d flip n take using ur external screen.

i think the keypad is not dat stiff la. just need to get used to the feel. but wat i doubt is the back cover and battery. it hardly can be removed. i used my fingernail to open the cover. -___-" and the battery seems to be a little hard to remove as well. just need to be careful. the rests work fine.

yeah i mean each button of the keypad
no problem with the cam or cam button
it snaps quickly smile.gif

o yea, the battery cover bothers me too! it's so tight, pressed real hard and i was afraid that i'd break the thing. but it got better after opening it few times
try pressing the center part of the cover with the lower part of ur palm (with ur fingers pushin downward) n push upward
it's true, battery's hard to remove. try doin it on ur bed or cushion to avoid dropping it on hard surface

i also not sure can change sms writing font like U900. can someone comfirms? if can, how to do so wor?

no you can't customize the sms writing font. Only can customize the font when you key in the phone number when dialing. Can change the font style and colour.

i juz realised that the volume of the phone is really low because the speaker is inside the flip. so when your flip is closed, the sound goes low because it's covered by the flip even you have adjusted it to the max. so have to rely on the vibration. but the sound is good. just that it's very soft.

you can read text using the external touchscreen now using the latest firmware. thumbup.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

In order to read texts while the phone is still closed via touchscreen, you must download the new firmware. To do this, do the following:

1. Got to this address:
http://uk.samsungmobile.com/supports/softw...ftwareUpdate.do

2. Download and install the new version of PC Studio listed, but DON'T run it.

3. Install the Phone Software Updater provided at the link. This is an addon for PC Studio.

4. Open your G400 and go to Settings -> Phone settings -> PC Connections select "Samsung PC Studio"

5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable.

6. Open PC Studio and select Phone Software Update.

This process will take a while, depending on your internet connection. Took me 30 minutes. Make sure to NOT disconnect the phone during this time. Do not turn off your computer either. And don't disable your internet either. Any errors can permanently ruin your phone. Updating the firmware is a sensitive process so please do so at your own risk. I also did this with an english language phone so if you're using one that is in a foreign language, you may consult your region's website.

ringtone can b a lil soft, but u can amp it up with some software. it'll be fine then

well, it's the most feature pack flip phone around. I should say it's worth it the price.
even motorola razer only has 2MP camera but cost over RM1K also.
LG icecream is non 3G.

the phone is still new. so i think nobody will know how good or bad is the skin material of the body.
but i heard that samsung use a better quality material this time to avoid the colour fading.
To confirm this, we have to wait a year to see whether it's true or not.

hope that helps! smile.gif

hi i have a question about the firmware upgrade via the UK website

can someone confirm that the local language (whether chinese, malay, thai, etc) in the phone menus as well as in sms (typing, reading) is still there? also, what about the operator specific gprs/edge settings? what actually happens after the firmware upgrade? does it become a UK generic g400? or does it still remain operator branded or something?

also, i am also curious whether the sms reading on the outside supports local languages? lastly, is it able to view the call log on the outside yet?

thanks a lot guys! i'm really close to getting this phone now! any comments will be appreciated! what color do you guys think is cooler? black or silver?

1. The chinese language is still there. I think all available languages too. Not sure about the setting but the phone work fine without the need to tweak the setting again after the update.

2. SMS reading of other languages on the external screen can be done. But for the call log (miss call), you still have to flip the phone out to check. I have future update will allow user to view the miss call via the external screen.

3. I don't know. But i choose black. Black is all black while silver is shinier i think.

max memory card able to support is 8GB.
if you buy from samsung authorized dealers, then bundle together is 4GB memory card.
i think you can get a cheaper rate buying from normal handphone shops selling various models (not just samsung phones).

well 5800 is more feature pack and worth every penny you spend i think
But some people love flip clamshell phone or doesn't prefer the touchscreen interface.
And I should say that G400 camera is better too.

hi. guess i'm facing the same problem with you too. the connection got connected then disconnected before one single SMS is loaded. it took me a long time to load then it got disconnected. not even one SMS. i don't really know what is the problem. i just successfully transferred the photos before. did you change the Phone Settings of PC Connection to Samsung PC Studio? if you did then i think you can consult the MENU GUIDE in the Samsung G400 box. HAHA... Sorry. Been busy to check out myself. tell me if you make it through! yeah.. all the best.

camera good. much much better than my 2nd phone K770i because it anti-shake. even if u'r walking, u can capture the pictures well and yet still very clear. if i'm walking, i capture pix with my K770i, sure will get blur. just that the color u c before u capture will b different with d color after u capture. get wat i mean? it gets slightly darker. hey y_owez. i see u been addicting to this phone for quite some time oredi? biggrin.gif as wat i read from other forumer in here.

yup~ the colour before capturing it and after will slightly different, mostly it will become darker but stime do may get brighter. I have found out the shorcut for the camera option at the keypad. For example, 2 is for the size, 3 is for the photo quality, 4 is shooting mode and so on. i not sure whether other phone have it or not but i just know tat my previous K800i does have it lo.

Yup the camera has face detection, stime in dark condition, the camera still able to detect the location of face. Besides it also have smile shot which is smile detection. and a lot of supplementary features for camera like frame shot, mosaic shot, multi shot, smile shot and panorama shot.
For the panorama shot, u have 2 options either 3 shots or 4 shots. I thk the camera is very gd for a camera phone~

But i have some question, wat is the WDR( wide dynamic range), the iso, exposure metering about??? the exposure metering have 2 option, matrix and spot. Hope someone will tell me bout tat. Thanks ya~

ISO is the quality of the photo. usually in dark lighting, you have to use a higher ISO. just like the traditional film camera. when you buy the film, the promoter will ask you whether you want ISO200 or ISO400. ISO400 is usually good for night capturing. so i usually switch the ISO to max. haha. exposure metering if i'm not mistaken is regarding the exposure to light. if you own a digital camera, switch your digital camera to manual function. you should be able to find the function of Exposure. the higher the exposure, the brighter your image is. for WDR, not very sure what it is.

if i'm wrong at certain info, someone please correct me. =) because i don't really know the exact explanation of these 2 terms.

A618 i think
comes with TV tuner, 0.3mp VGA camera, shake function, full 2.2" touch screen, handwriting recolonization (but they use a format which i'm not familiar with) nice vinyl skin like K800, SUPER LOUD speakers and UI which is slightly better then old china phones. all for less then RM400 after conversion.

i didn't buy it for the 0.3mp. it's the dual sim active line and tv tuner that i'm more interested in. plus it's dirt cheap.

i'm still using the G400 as main phone though. gotten so used to it. but loading 2560*1920 pics in the album can be very laggy. thinking of downsizing shots to 1600*1200 for better browsing/transfer speed

another thing i'm quite not satisfied is loading of photos. the more photos you keep in memory card or phone, more hang the phone gets. i think it's bcuz of d file size for each photo. cuz i'm using the best quality. so one photo is around 1mb+

so must be very patient with it.

1600*1200 is quite smooth but 2560*1920 lags like mad even with less then 10 pictures. also, higher mp doesn't mean better looking pictures.

i'm not sure if i'm correct or not. but so far based on my own exploration, you can only change the font type for dialing display, not the SMS. however, there are only few types of font type you can choose in the Dialing Display. maybe it's been 3 years i din use new samsung phone oredi. feel that samsung has improved. haha.

higher resolution doesn't guarantee better looking pictures. higher resolution picture is more detailed, that's just about it. but lets say that you develop the same picture in 4R size, 1600*1200 and 2560*1920 is almost identical. bigger pictures like A3 size, obviously the 2560*1920 will look sharper then 1600*1200. high mp is no substitute for proper picture taking practices, like selecting the proper iso for certain lighting conditions.


i always transfer pictures form phone to my at least once a week or after an event and catalog it. and clear off the pictures after the transfer. i see no point keeping pictures taken 2 years ago and it's a strain shuffling through those images, especially 2560*1920.

i am interested in this phone... looks very nice... may i know the market price for it now?

The RRP for this phone is RM1599.
Same price with Samsung G810 sybiam slider phone.

If you get from normal phone shop without the bundle memory card it's RM1300.
Price doesn't seem to be dropping so I guess it will remain at this price until CNY.

Gonna try to update my phone to enable reading sms on the external screen. To those who have updated their phone firmware, is it easy to update the firmware?

Update is quite easy. Just follow the instruction stated and you will be save.
It will take around 30 minutes to update the phone, but this will also depend on your internet connection speed.

you can read text using the external touchscreen now using the latest firmware. thumbup.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

In order to read texts while the phone is still closed via touchscreen, you must download the new firmware. To do this, do the following:

1. Got to this address:
http://uk.samsungmobile.com/supports/softw...ftwareUpdate.do

2. Download and install the new version of PC Studio listed, but DON'T run it.

3. Install the Phone Software Updater provided at the link. This is an addon for PC Studio.

4. Open your G400 and go to Settings -> Phone settings -> PC Connections select "Samsung PC Studio"

5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable.

6. Open PC Studio and select Phone Software Update.

This process will take a while, depending on your internet connection. Took me 30 minutes. Make sure to NOT disconnect the phone during this time. Do not turn off your computer either. And don't disable your internet either. Any errors can permanently ruin your phone. Updating the firmware is a sensitive process so please do so at your own risk. I also did this with an english language phone so if you're using one that is in a foreign language, you may consult your region's website.

i guess askar perang has already answered for you tongue.gif

anyways, it took me a few tries to get connected to the server to download the firmware. you'll be prompt to backup before the upgrade, but i didn't and surprisingly the phonebook and messages were still intact, nothing removed.

you can only read new sms through the external screen. not the entire sms folder. i only find this feature useful if i did not enable keylock for the external screen. with key lock enabled, i'd prefer to read it on the internal screen since flipping the phone open is much easier then pressing the puny 'hold' button.

Thanks. Yeah, already updated the firmware. Its nice that we can read new message on the external screen. Yeah, the hold button is kinda reach at a odd location.

Btw, may i know how many of you guys are having titanium black?

don't sell. buy it for as main phone and your ferrari V9 as 2nd phone. HAHA. just kidding. G400 is more user-friendly. =) one thing i love about the camera is it has face detection & anti-shake. even when i'm walking, i can still take the picture of other people walking with me clearly. get what i mean? when you walk and other people are walking as well, sure your hands will be shaking and sure there will be a lot of movements from other people, right? but you still can take the picture clearly. but you must press halfway face to activate the face detection and anti-shake. then you can take already!

yeah! buy buy buy!!!!

not really a big deal for me. i didnt request much from a handphone. things will improve n improve. so those who wanna buy this phone, it's recommended that you test with the camera first. if you're not satisfied, you have a choice. =) but so far i think it works fine...... =D

took this pic when my friends were walking towards the air asia plane. i was walking as well. so double movement but yet the camera still managed to capture it sharply!


Attached Image

took this under the fluorescent light. it was night time. first time eating this porridge. from kuching. so took it for memory.


Attached Image

night time! only got road light! i think i used flash as well. can't remember. haha. never seen such a big ikan bilis. think it can be part of the memory? haha


Attached Image

sarawak mee. took this under day light in the morning.


Attached Image

christmas tree. completely dark. i used flash.


Attached Image

not me. hehe. helped my friend to capture this. she moved fast and dropped less than 1 second. besides catching the timing sharply, the camera also helped me to capture this photo clearly because she was moving all the way until this position and took her less than 1 second to drop. so, i guess this photo tells everything? indeed i resized the photo because it was 2mb+. couldn't upload this huge file size.

ya. sometimes need both hands to type. i usually use my left hand, although i'm a right-handed. haha. balance up my left and right brain.

koolric, what kind of case? crystal case or just normal cloth case? i'm using cloth case. not the zip type. is the fit type. quite a hip nowadays because it fits well. cuz sometimes i'll wear tight jeans. if i use the zip type, it'll make my pocket bigger and as if i look fatter. sleep.gif" sometimes if you don't take out your phone properly, it can easily slip off from the case. and i scared the zip mouth will scratch my phone. >.<

can get at Sungei Wang, at Giant there. RM15. quite expensive but better than the black one which costs RM10. the RM10 one, i used it for 2 days and it's torn on top cuz the quality is very thin only. the RM15 one is definitely worth the price.

2 times i went there at 12pm, but every time no fate to buy from there cuz not yet open. -__-"

haha. well, if u see properly, the design is actually focusing more on the external screen. which means it's trying to promote the special of the external screen. so it must be big. in order to balance up the up and bottom flip, the keypad ends up being big. but really, the internal screen is kinda small.

flip phone lo. hehe. the flat keypad. i'm sick with the K770 keypad oredi. i love flat. close flip, use your external screen for camera is good for capturing things, open flip, use the internal screen for camera is good for self capturing!!! still, it's the camera. haha

to give u more dilemmas... the phone actually has 2 weaknesses, but can be overcome.

1) the volume can be very soft because the speaker is inside the flip. SOLUTION IS, you need to volume up ur ringtone before transferring n using it in d phone.

2) loading of big file pictures like 1MB+, it takes a long time to load. not dat long la. probably few seconds. but seems very slow. SOLUTION IS you can set the resolution to 1600X1200 or lower so that the file size is not dat big.

yup~ agree with chinmaan~
it is a nice flip phone~
user friendly camera esp when using the external screen~
nice self capture by suing the internal screen~
u can adjust the colour of ur display screen~
u can diy ur theme in two ways--> simple & expert.
while the weakness for volume, maybe u can choose those louder tone as ur ringtone~

hey~ may i know how to volume up the ringtone b4 transfering?
do u still face the problem to transfer message from hp to pc?

love 414, golla pouch. expensive lo. haha.. is it nicely fitted? or got empty space?

to volume up the ringtone, u need some kind of audio mixing software such as Sound Forge, WavePad, WaveStudio, etc. If you have Windows Movie Maker, u can import the audio file, drag to the timeline, right click on that audio timeline and you can see VOLUME. den u may increase it. then save as movie, it will save as mp3 or wma. u can change the setting to mp3, or else u need to convert later. so better change the setting to mp3 in the windows movie maker. i forgot where it is. shud be somewhere in Tools, Options or Preferences.

yup. still facing. however, y do u wanna transfer the messages? hehe. you need to consult the customer service if you still intend to transfer the messages.
