"Great looking phone poor software"
Pros: Thin design and a beautiful display
Cons: terrible music player and memory card support
Summary: This phone has a great design and the display is one of the best that I have seen. With that being said there are a whole slew of issues that I have with this devise.
The ringer is too quiet, the music player is sub par. It doesn't let you fast forward or set a playlist for more than about 50 songs and changing the playlist is much more cumbersome than it should be making my 1GB memory card not so useful. It does support mp3 ringers, but they have to be of a small file size. I picked the smallest of the 200 songs that were on my memory card and it was still too large. The way around this problem is to shorten an mp3 using some mp3 editing software, which is a ridiculous oversight by Samsung. It also doesn't let you change the colors in the menus. You are stuck with a pink highlight color. Furthermore, you cannot grant network access to java apps like opera mini, mobile gmail, and mobile google maps. It's just too bad that the OS isn't better because it is a great looking mobile device.

I have a Samsung T-519 and have the same issues. It especially bothers me that I know the google mail and maps applications are likely killer apps, and I can't use them. Furthermore, there support is horrible, I have tried to contact them with no response. I probably won't buy another samsung product again based on this experience.
