I'm having a thought of getting this phone... But there are some doubts that I have. Hope the sifu's over here are able to clarrify my doubts..

1. The phone comes with a headset(ear bud type) and also another 'thingy'. *my guess is that it's a microphone* Is it possible to have some basic control over the media player such as next, pause. Or it only has volume control.

2. Next, the front camera. I read that the front camear can only be activated during 3G calls, no self-potraiting. However, is it possible to just use the cam as a mirror. Sort of like shooting urself without snapping pics. If it doesn't, has anyone found any software that can be used to overcome this problem? *since it's symbian*

3. The Os of the phone is Symbian. But there are some 3rd party symbian software which cannot run on this baby. Are there a lot of softwares that failed to run? *anyone have a list on what are able and which failed to run?*

4. How often do Samsung releases new firmwares? Are they frequent? Coz I see a lot of space for improvement but those spaces are nothing if they seldom upgrade the available firmwares.


Thanks a lot to the sifu's that are willing to share their opinions, experience, wisdom, knowledge, etc... etc..

Thanx a lot bro Shinichi for your reply..

wow.. this thread is really quiet for a phone like this!
