I test this unlocked smartphone with GSM network under Telcel in Mexico and Works without any problem, just make sure you configure it property, since default setting wont work.The good: WM5 has a lot of app available for the phone, and Java performance is acceptable for 2D gaming and apps, pretty easy to use, no need for read a manual.The bad: Battery life is not good, but it comes with dual battery so, its ok and JAVA3D wont work.Notice: If you want to install unsigned apps, like SNES or NES emus, you must setup the phone to accept unsigned (unsigned = not from official provider) apps.
Although the description on the web says TRI-BAND Amazon shipped to me DUAL BAND phones AND THEY REFUSE TO EXCHANGE THEM. DONT BUY IT UNLESS YOU LIVE IN EUROPE. I GOT STUCK WITH 11 PHONES that DO NOT WORK IN THE US. They event shipped it with the european plug.THIS PHONES ARE FOR EUROPE ONLY even though the webpages says they are triband.
This is a very interesting phone, very usefull tools, etc. However, my wireless plan (T-mobile) has features that were not compatible with this phone.
I live in Mexico and couldn't wait for Samsung to release the BlackJack in my country so; I got this one.Mexican GSM network is 1900 Mhz so it worked as soon as I inserted my SIM. I have been using it heavily for 15 days and never got a low battery alert message yet. Keyboard is really small but you can get used to it within hours.
with a little help from my mobile company's tech support center.If you are a Mac guy (like me) you would need to buy extra software to sync it with iCal, Contacts or Entourage (not sure if that's the real name of the Office for Mac PIM) but it really worth it. It comes with two batteries and a charger where you can leave one battery while you use the other. Reception is very good and it was kind of easy to setup (pull e-mail, multimedia messages, Internet access, etc).
It is my first phone with a full keyboard, so I took me longer to get used to push a different key for any letter and to the QWERTY arrangement but now I think I write messages quite faster. You can even sync your iTunes lists, podcasts and iPhoto albumbs.It comes with a viewer for.xls,.doc or.pdf files which works fine but you can not edit files on the go (if you actually need to). Even thought it allows you to view attached files you received by mail or downloaded from the Internet.
Battery life is short but it's enough for a typical day even when you perform Bluetooth sync, talk for about 45 minutes and listen music for 2 or 3 hours on the same day. What else can I say, I like it, it's a good phone, it's slim and it's very good looking.
Its very light and thin , very easy to use.I drop off my treo because I had trouble syncronizing my Outlook 3.000 contact often.Now , with this widows based PDA , everything is much easier.The only problem is the lack of accessories for this phone.Congratulations for Samasung.
