Loving this phone & starting to use music player a lot. Couple of questions - what music player would you recommend over the default one (equalizer not the best) & would like a 16Gb SD card but no idea what to buy. Any advice? Cheers.

Will any of the media players allow me to basically copy over all my iTunes stuff and play those files rather than ripping it all again from CD? :confused:

Dont know why samsung didnt put this on the memory card of the phone since they were too tight to print it off but here it is for anyone that wants it.

I think he means the internal memory.

Not heard of them coming with them...

mrk · 23 May 2011 at 12:02

I was going to have a moan then as mine didn't come with a card, even though I have several cards lying around anyway I never turn down a freebie!

_Jimlad_ · 23 May 2011 at 12:05

yeah sorry i meant the inbuilt memory.

Can i ask what is the best way to get some of my avi's onto the samsung and watchable.

i was just gonna drag onto the memory and find an app? or do i need to convert?

antonusklesk · 23 May 2011 at 12:09

Just drag and drop the video files and they'll work with the player that comes on the phone just fine.

_Jimlad_ · 23 May 2011 at 12:11

cool, will do now

Check the Sena pouch out which was posted on XDA earlier, it's marketed as the thinnest pouch available and looks pretty good.

I'm tempted to buy and check it out...tempted!

ok, it's coming on tuesday tmobile have them in stock now at head office.

upgrading 13 months into 18 month contract, £60 for early upgrade fee as such or for the phone, whatever way you look at it, £30 a month 24 month contract.

Ill be able to put friends and family onto this straight away, meaning it'll be £15 a month. So £15x24+£60=£420. Not bad, upgrading 66% of the way through a contract and getting the total contract prcie to be cheaper than buying sim free is all good with me And im paying £25 a month atm, so in the remaining 5 months i will have made back the money bar a tenner that it cost to upgrade. Brilliant.

had a dispatch text....excited now =]

Don't forget there's a few different themes for the built in one, if you still don't like it I prefer Go SMS personally.

Yeah once you tweak it. I tried Go Sms too but came back to this.

mrk · 23 May 2011 at 13:26

Handcent is amazing, well, my config of it is anyway!

Post your thoughts when it arrives!

I still think it's a little much as it's £21.84 after the discount which chops off six bucks which is a few quid.

I'm still under the boat as someone else mentioned whereby it's a bit more faff to just quick answer a call and so on taking it out of a pouch but it would be nice to have for when you know you won't be using the phone as often or are going to be in a flaky area for a while I suppose.

Got a genuine Samsung leather flip case on Saturday and really like it. Good quality, protects the camera nicely!

Never had a flip case before though and I find it weird how it flips down rather than up, I keep opening it the wrong way round... :S

Put on a Terrapin screen protector and it's cack - not cut accurately enough and it streaks/scratches really easily. I'm waiting for the better one to arrive.

Rimsy · 23 May 2011 at 13:57

just received dispatch confirmation from buymobiles - happy days

why have screen protectors full stop? and def no need if you have a flip case - i hate them with a passion!
