This phone is garbage.
There is only 2 things that are good on it and they are the screen and the camera. There is no 3.5mm headphone socket, no wi-fi and battery life is terrible. The speaker only works when it wants to as well.
If anyone offers you one get something else. I'm sorry I even got this phone.
STAY AWAY.
There was a problem with this phone *the DAY I took it out of the store*!!!!!
Whenever I touched the "photo browse" button my phone would freeze, the restart. And this was withing 20 minutes of me getting the phone.
It's laggy, and I drain the battery life in a day by sending text messages.
Currently trying to give the phone back, it's a waste of money and not at all what I was told it was.
I find the same problem... I love it and all. ... it's just that the battery life is terrible, i am thinking of returning it mainly for that reason, I can not be carrying my charger everywhere>????
yes, my fone got the same problem. when "Photo Browse' pressed, the fone will be frozen and restarted. so did you manged to get a refund?

My date widget also has the wrong date on it as well and the camera doesn't focus as well as i thought it would.
Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.
RRP: AU$749.00

The date widget has the wrong day to the date. It is slow between menus, Telstra does not have it for their Whereis website. The alarm is tdoes not always ring. etc etc
The good: Nice visual screen, Camera is slow, but nice pics
The bad: Date widget faulty, the phone needs an upgrade of software, as they have just discovered several faults. Please see comments So sorry I have a 24month plan
