The screen totally froze and I have never managed to fix it. Orange advised me to update it via the internet.. I have been looking ever since to find out how to do it. No orange care cover = no new phone, therefore stuck in an 18 month contract with an old naff phone! Any ideas on how to repair this would be greatly appreciated! Rating: Reviewed by Jack on 18/01/2010 if you wont a phone that you are gonna use to listen to music, get some thing else. the battery is very short lived. the phone has very limited capability with customisation and the most irratating thing is that the lock screen HAS to be samsungs defult pictures, of mainly flowers. Rating: Reviewed by jay on 17/01/2010 Ive had my phone for over 12months now and i havent had any problems with it in the past, just that i woke up today and my phone was off so tried switching it on and its coming up with " A DEMSBL BOOT ERROR HAS OCCURED" can anyone help me with this? thanks Rating: Reviewed by Kobus on 13/01/2010 All these smart features is useless if your touchscreen starts to freeze after just 4 months. Google "Pixon Screen Freeze" The results speaks for itself Rating: Reviewed by jack on 04/01/2010 There is no way that this many people rate this phone 5 stars. 1) The hold button does not work and the phone dials numbers in your pocket. 2) The screensaver pictures can not be changed, so you have to put up with pictures of flowers and other crap. 3) There are no widgets and applications available for the phone what so ever. 4) The browser is slow and you could say useless and when you try and read the text it zooms in and out all the time, you can not view the text cause you have to scroll left and right all the time cause the zoom does not work correctly, so you end up not using the browser because it is such a pain to use and very frustrating. 5) The photo browse application does not work. 6) The on screen keyboard is rubbish. the dictionary does not work, does not store new words and it has a mind of its own. 7) The phone keeps turning itself off, (my phone is not faulty as i have had it repaired 3 times and it still does the same thing, they have even given me a new phone and it still does the same thing) 8) The touchscreen is very unresponsive and sometimes takes 3 or 4 pushes before it selects what you want to. 9) The messages, inbox, email, rss they have a limit and when it is full you have to actually manually delete them to clear up space, which when you have 180 sms in your inbox and you have to scroll right to the bottom and select each sms and select delete to be able to receieve new messages... pathetic. 10) the battery life is terrible, if you do anything with the phone, as in , listen to music, record a video or take a few pictures, the battery is used up pretty much instantly and if you have it full charged by the time you leave in the morning it will run out before you are ready to leave work. 11) Advertised that the phone can read pdf files, this is a half truth, it can open extremely small pdf files with no pictures, anything over 8mb in size and it comes up with an error. 12) practically impossible unless you are an IT expert to upgrade the firmware or even copy java games on to the device. 13) the camera quality is not that great, the video quality is good for a phone, high resolution, but the quality is not that great. just because it is 8mpx does not mean that it is going to be good quality, and i can assure you that a 5mpx cameras that i have seen far better than this samsung pixon. take my advice, do not buy this phone, it is a waste of money and especially do not buy it on a contract or you will feel ripped off like me. :( Rating: Reviewed by jack on 29/12/2009 do not buy the samsung pixon, there has never been a product so terrible that i have felt the need to actually warn people about the phone. it is the biggest waste of money i have ever spent. I have tried to tell tmobile and samsung that the phone is defective by design, they say that they can repair it, but they don't understand that it is designed that way. just stay away as far away as you can from samsung mobile phone, especially the pixon, what a waste of money :( Rating: Reviewed by Roshan on 29/12/2009 The phone will work fine for one month after than the touch screen start giving problem... Rating: Reviewed by jeanette on 27/12/2009 Absolute garbage, not yet 12 months old, having problems keeps turning off. Contacted samsung they are useless and fobbed me off. Would never touch samsung again big disappointment Rating: Reviewed by Bethan on 24/12/2009 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! Its The Best Phone Ive Ever Had In My Whole Life. The 8mp Camera Is Immense The Querty Keyboard Is Fabb Deffo 10/10 And An A+***** I Would Recomend This Phone To Anybody Seriously! Rating: Reviewed by hazel on 22/12/2009 I HATE this phone! I've had it over a year now and it is just not well designed at all. The lock function doesn't stay locked if the phone is in your pocket or a bag, and is sluggish to respond so somewhat frustrating. The touch screen is also rather insensitive and I've had software problems with the phone book - every time I turn the phone off it stops being able to identify incoming numbers desipte having them all still stored. Fixing that means deleting all the numbers from the phone and copying them over from the sim again. Annoying. Particularly as it crashes reasonably frequently which necessitates taking the battery out. It also plays a very annoying tone every time it sends a text and I can't figure out how to stop it! It's web connectivity is dodgy and slow. Only good point is the camera, which is awesome Rating: Reviewed by sam w on 22/12/2009 i've had this phone since febuary and its one of the worst phones i've ever had! the battery life is rubbish even when you dont use the phone it keeps freezing i can hardly ever get a signal with it iv'e now gone back to my trusty n95 guess what it has a good battery life it doesnt freeze on me and it gets a full signal! never gonna buy a samsung again Rating: Reviewed by Che UK on 17/12/2009 Have had this phone for more than 5 months now. bin workin ok jus recently started freezin and i cnt do anything. switch it on and off all day but nothin works. really frustrated. now i hate all touchscreens!!! camera great though.

THANKS SAMSUNG!! :P Rating: Reviewed by jess on 25/11/2009 i have had this phone since jan 09 its now nov 09 and it keeps freezing and now i cant use my phone for its purpose. Rating: Reviewed by Yva on 25/11/2009 ive had this phone for nearly a year and was really pleased with it, but in the last couple of months the screen has started freezing which is SO frustrating when you receive a text and cant open it or really need to call someone! dont really know if theres much i can do about it, going to go see o2 since its still under warranty. the other problem i find is that the predictive text dictionary learns gibberish words of its own accord and theres no way to delete them. it gets pretty dull scrolling down about 4 non-words before you get to 'and' or 'it'. otherwise, love all the wigets etc and i find it a good phone in general. Rating: Reviewed by sue on 23/11/2009 I up graded when my contract ended. I was thrilled with the phone..... at first. After 2 months i had to take it back as the phone kept switching itself off frequently. I got a replacement and again after a couple of months it kept switching itself off... very inconvenient. well after a few months it gave up the ghost completely and the touch screen just wouldn't work at all. So yet another replacement. Won't get another samsung. common fault as all my samsungs have had this fault and it seems they still haven't corrected it.

CHEERS Rating: Reviewed by Tina on 25/10/2009 I'm on orange with pixon and it suddenly decided to lose the network on automatic network search so I changed it to manual search and now what was an intermittent problem with switching itself off that i thought linked to the hold key has now become permanent and my phone wont switch on at all. phone orange and got told to get an eraser and gently clean the battery contact on the phone. not impressed as I love the phone and won't be happy if i can't get a replacement off orange!

I was really pleased with it for the first two weeks but then it started freezing and switching on and off. The touch does not work and i literally have to drag my finger with all my strength just to move something (and it barely even moves). I do not advise anyone to but this phone... Rating: Reviewed by l.stewart on 04/10/2009 i have had the samsung pixon since january and think it is a good phone. the battery life and camera are great. the one thing i don't really like is the lock button..it is on the side of the phone and can be pressed without you knowing and you can end up phoning someone or being on the internet unexpectedly. But i would definitely reccommend this phone :) Rating: Reviewed by Jayne on 27/09/2009 I LOVED This Phone Even Though I Only Had It For A Week .. Then Its Started Freezing And Crashing Like A Viruses on a Computer LOL!

Im not overlly keen on this phone. it looks nice, has a good camara but i feel its not user friendly or practical at all. Predictive text is a nightmare. I cant find some of the symbols i need. Im looking forward to changing mine but im stck with it for another 14months.

The camera would not focus from day one(fault) and does not work in poor light. Also the GPS is only meant for Geotagging and not Navigation. So the Pixon does not live up to my expectations. Shame because it's a really great phone, but that's all it is. It is going straight on eBay when it gets repaired next week. Then I am getting a Sony Cyber-Shot with GPS navigation, maybe even wait for the Satio....... In Summary - Buy this phone if you want a really good touch screen phone to talk and text only. Do not buy this phone if want all the things it claims to do(camera, Gps, connectivity etc.) because it just won't work. Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 25/08/2009 Fantastic phone . BUY IT . It's Amazing Rating: Reviewed by jugula on 15/08/2009 OK,,,ive had this phone nearly 6 months now so well qualified to xpress an opinion -- ive slowly grown to dislike this phone very much...im VERY close to throwing it at the wall...touch screen failure is getting frequent...its battery life has ALWAYS been rubbish but tolerable if 3G set to off. Its rather decent 8 megapixel camera and it being marketed as an improved/enhanced Tocco was the draw for me with this phone, but it simply doesnt live up to that. I could go on for some time with whats wrong with this phone but some of that would be merely subjective...that said,,,after 6/7 years of Samsung phones this is going next week and its my LAST ever Samsung fone...ive learnt the hard way or the expensive way maybe..ive kept away from the iphone for long enough due to its lack of camera power as it were...in a nut shell, if u want a touch screen phone...and one that wont let u down in its basic function and also looks the dogs nuts...GET AN IPHONE !!! nothing can tou ch it!! Rating: Reviewed by wolfmaiden on 13/08/2009 My husband had this phone from O2. For 6 months no major problems, he loved the internet speed and camera. Phone would sometimes turn off for no reason and send blank txts on it's own. Now screen has frozen, can't use tochscreen or buttons, just stays on homescreen with backlight on full until battery runs out, once charged and turned on will respond to buttons for about 2 seconds before it freezes again. We telephoned O2, they claim this was the first time they have had a problem with a Pixon. Now waiting for an email from O2 with instructions on how to return for repair. Rating: Reviewed by a star on 12/08/2009 i've had my pixon for a day now. took a while to get used to the whole touch screen thing. The phone is very attractive. however the themes and graphics are quite poor and are nothing to write home about. Quite a shame- to add insult to injury, i just realised that i am unable to download any themes from the net because the software is incompatible. Rating: Reviewed by 4ga on 12/08/2009 the best phone ever Rating: Reviewed by ABUL on 11/08/2009 Great phone. Has everything you need and more. Only downside is, as said here the battery life, and also it is quite bricky, but what do you expect when theres an 8MP camera attached to it??? Neverthesless i like brick phnes cs i can feel them in my pocket, so no1 can steal them!

Touch screen is poor (might be biased becuase of owning a ipod touch though) camera shutter stick sometimes and will not close. The layout of the phone is horrendous, ive had it for 3 months now and i have no idea where the bluetooth toggle is. Texting is a chore because the "keyboard" is rubbish. The video camera sound and sound recording quality is pathetic! I will never own a samsung phone again. i just wish i could have given this phone a lower rating Rating: Reviewed by tommy on 31/07/2009 simply the best phone ever its cool and the widget is so handy Rating: Reviewed by ryan baldry on 31/07/2009 ansomeee phone,best phone i have ever had.i had an ipohne 3g for a bit but it got boring to play with this is just stunning!!!!GREAT PHONE!!! Rating: Reviewed by Mister1982 on 30/07/2009 I was expecting good things from this phone and was let down badly. Slow response from camera and viewer, lock key goes off easily in pocket with one touch, you cant change the screen saver from those stupid flowers and bubbles. Biggest let down is the camera speed which delays for about 3 seconds after taking a picture, when trying to view a picture, when deleting a picture, when switching from viewer to camera it's extremely annoying!

Rating: Reviewed by charley on 28/07/2009 THE SAMSUNG PIXON IS AMZING, GET IT IN PINK. bestest phone EVER Rating: Reviewed by Richard on 27/07/2009 Great screen, good music player, internet works well, nice camera and easy to type and view emails. Things I did not like: It is not a smartphone, and I had no idea how limiting this is. The inability to move things around in the menus is a real pain. Samsung's PC software is so much more complex than Nokia - but this is definitely a bad thing. No easy syncing with Outlook at the press of a button, but a two stage process that took me some time to work out what was going wrong. Updating the firmware is another hastle - and considering that GPS wasn't working with google maps when I got the phone a great inconvenience. Firmware updates have improved aspects from the camera to the responsiveness, so by updating the niggles have lessened over time. Rating: Reviewed by Ruth Hughes on 27/07/2009 So can anyone tell me where the gps is because I can't even get google maps on mine - I keep getting the message this needs a data connection. My provider just tells me it's not on there Rating: Reviewed by Yuji on 26/07/2009 I got this phone for my birthday, had it two days and had problems with it.

In terms of performance i've had absolutly no problems with it freezing or not responding so i cant slate this phone too much! Rating: Reviewed by Lewis on 14/07/2009 It is a great phone with all great things to do on it, amazing camera and all the other features, i sometimes when on the qwerty keyboard press the wrong button and the battery can be quite short if you play music or use the camera much. Well i dont have a camera anymore the phone is my camera! Rating: Reviewed by Ben on 12/07/2009 At first i thought i loved this phone, but now?....i hate it. Everything about it winds me up. Admittidly the things that upset me about this phone are individually small, and petty, but together, they make a rubbish phone. I'll try and list the things that are currently annoying me in some semblance of an order, but its likely to just turn into a rant. And your likely to look at me as i said, as a petty and small person...but hey go and buy it...then after a month re-read this. Firstly, the whole file management is messy, ugly and just a little rubbish. I've had older phones that organised my different types of files with the whole drag and drop facility, much better and with much more finesse. I cant delete the sample pictures. I cant change the text message received tone. The touch screen is like a childs version of the iphone. The camera, despite its 8mp lense is rubbish in low light, including the video setting. As with all phones, it wants to waste battery life vibrating to tell me the battery is low. On T-Mobile i cant add new widgets without flashing the software myself (A danger of freezing the phone completely). The photo scrolling (by tipping the phone) is just annoying....no painful. Predictive text has some how managed to save non words, which it offers to me as the first suggestion. Predictive text doesnt recognise 's. E.g I'll. However, if i type ill, it'll (another word it doesnt like 's in) suggest I'll and I'll (I promise i'm not taking the mick here) have to select it manually. If i've got the phone key tone on silent, there isnt a camera shutter sound. It's incredibly slow, and cant keep up with my key pressing. The video calling camera is awful! Just awful. The phone book scroll (The little magnifying glass on the side) is only for left handers. Its virtually impossible to scroll some menus without sellecting some of the options. This is just whats annoying me today. There are many more, but i'm so worked up just writing this, i'm going to have to stop. Go with the iphone. Rating: Reviewed by Jack Woods on 05/07/2009 This is an outstanding phone Rating: Reviewed by Jocker on 01/07/2009 New words that you add not being stored in the phone's dictionary seems to be a problem with all Samsung phones as this is the third one I've had, and they've all done the same thing. Basically, don't bother trying to add words because it won't save them. This will be my last Samsung phone as I find this really annoying. Rating: Reviewed by Rhiannon on 27/06/2009 I've had this phone since December, and still love it as much as when I first got it :) the camera, sound and colour quality is excellent. Also I accidentally dropped it in a freezing cold lake, where it stayed submerged in water for about 20 minutes until I was able to find it again. Once I dried the phone out, everything still worked perfectly! I definitely recommend this phone! :D Rating: Reviewed by Marc on 21/06/2009 Worst phone i have ever had.

The camera is good but only in the day. If you take picture when you're out at night then they come out blurred which was a bit disappointing. Also, if you like to use predictive text and you don't already have a samsung then I don't think this phone is a good idea. Using any punctuation is a nightmare- If anyone can tell how to put in the word ' I'm ' please tell me. The touch screen is easy to use but a little slow when low on battery. Overall quite good except the texting. Rating: Reviewed by Mike on 31/05/2009 Brilliant phone. The camera is excellent, the phone's tough and rugged. Not to mention it's good looking and won't make you look like a 'fadder' by going with an iPhone. It's superior, if not on a par, with any smart-phone on the market. It's user-friendly and does everything exceedingly well. My first Samsung and I'm very impressed. Highly recommended. Rating: Reviewed by Rhiannon on 31/05/2009 Well, I received my Samsung Pixon Pink on Thursday. It was an upgrade and it sounded like my sort of phone. I've changed from the LG Viewty - so i am already pretty au fait with touch screen phones but i must admit the pixon does take some getting used to. First the bad points - in T9 texting you cannot get an apostrophe - I have tried everything and cannot get one! You have to change it to using the qwerty keyboard which is a little annoying. Also the T9 dictionary doesn't seem to store the words you add. The phone book is also a little annoying - you either have to scroll through every name or use the little tab thing to do to a letter, but its kinda tricky to get used to - only had it 3 days, so i'm sure i'll get used to it. Now the good points - this is an awesome phone - the camera is excellent, as you would expect from an 8m pixel, the sound quality is fab, and you can customise the phone completely - even assigning different text tones for different ppl - something i've wanted for ages! There are so many little gadgets on here that i haven't really played with yet, but on the whole i would recommend this phone - just give yourself a few days to get used to it esp. if you've never had a touch screen phone before! The only other thing is, i can't get delivery reports on the phone as the options are greyed out - think this may be an orange issue rather than a samsung issue so will haveto speak to them. Overall a classy, nice looking and feeling functional and fun phone that i can see myself enjoying for quite a while! Rating: Reviewed by LOL on 30/05/2009 neva buy dis fone its a brik i wud cement dis LOL Rating: Reviewed by gregroberts on 30/05/2009 just got this phone 1st impressions are ok, think the internet is a bit slow to connect etc, not sure if thats because it aint wifi, i ait that too tech minded, and one daft thing is you cant put in letter to find someone in your phonebook and have to scroll all the way through... thinking I shouldve got the Iphone tbh Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 28/05/2009 The phone is great. It was a toss up between the i-phone and the pixxon for me. So glad I went with the Pixxon. I have read reviews saying you dont get ID with text messages even if the person is in your contact list...dont know where that come from I have no trouble. Also people have mentioned you cant customise message tone, again thats wrong you can. only negative as mentioned above is the battery I get about 2 days in between charging but how hard is it to put your phone on charge at night time.

Rating: Reviewed by Rhigeebee on 22/05/2009 Just had to comment on my new phone, got it yesterday and am slightly obsessed with it! I really really like it and can see myself getting used to the touch screen side of it very quickly. Ok it is a bit slow to text but at the moment the novelty factor is making that not an issue! I have attached the pointer to the bottom of the phone with the loop so can just use it when I want and no worried about losing it. The phone is quite slim, it's easy to get on the internet (I've got it free in my deal) and it takes great pictures - what more could you want?! Rating: Reviewed by Tab on 22/05/2009 There's too many irritating things about this phone to make it worth buying. Texting - nightmare. Fiddly and will take forever to master. The predictive text is awful. Buttons - Button on the side that serves no purpose other than shortcuts to things u already have shortcuts to on the screen. More annoying that you can't change these! Touchscreen - smudgy and unresponsive at times, if it's a sunny day then forget about it as you can't see a thing! Lock key - on the side which pretty much means when you put the phone in ur pocket it unlocks and will unlock itself with hardly a touch! I was really excited about this phone at first but it's just a pain and so hard to get used to. Nokia's all the way!

My Scroll Bar On The Phonebook Didnt Work, Then When I Clicked On An Icon From The Menu It Was Really Slow In Changing And Froze. Then My Battery Died And My Phone Started Making A Buzzing Noise While It Was Off. Then My Touch Screen Buttons Never Worked. Its Now Back In The Shop Getting Fixed. I Miss It =( Rating: Reviewed by Moi! on 19/05/2009 I got this phone in march and I LOVE IT! Im locked in contract til march 2011, but do you know what? Im going to keep it til i die, its great! Although, i wonder if its just me, since i got bluetoothed a song that didnt work (it wont play things downloaded illegally from youtube!) it completely froze it, so you have to take out the battery, which is hardly a problem, but since then, whenever i turn my phone off, all the settings get reset, is there any way to fix that, does anyone know? That aside, it is my fourth phone, second samsung, and i will love it forever! BUY ONE! lol Rating: Reviewed by nina on 18/05/2009 i think this phone is average. but battery life oh my god. its terrible, i dont think i can put up with it any longer. However, all other features are very well designed. Rating: Reviewed by Keith on 17/05/2009 This phone is great but just that the battery life is very bad as it decreases super fast! Anyway, I faced a problem which is whenever I took a photo using my Samsuung Pixon, the photo will turn out to have a very dark contrast. Do anyone faces the same problem or anyone knows how to solve? Rating: Reviewed by well/ on 15/05/2009 I got the phone as an upgrade from my tocco expecting it to be better. However the screen is unresponsive and not like the tocco more like the lg cookie. You have to press it hard. the screen clearness it rubbish and the menues are bad. I have sent it back for a omnia hd Rating: Reviewed by Ashley on 14/05/2009 An absolute Marvale, Well done Samsung. This is one of the best phones I have ever owned. The screen is big, the camera is pixel perfect and the phone seems reliable (since I've had it). It's a shame about the phone not having wifi, but I have an ipod touch so I don't really care. With a full virtual QWERTY keyboard and support for divx movies, I couldn't ask for anything else. Again, Well done Samsung! Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 14/05/2009 I did a swap with my wife - she had my Nokia N95 8GB, I took her Pixon! I love the qwerty pad when texting (I use the stylus instead of my chubby fingers!). I have found, however, that characters can repeat themselves instead of the one you think you tapped, ie instead of a space you duplicate the last letter of the previous word. I love the camera; still getting used to the different settings, you have to experiment, especially on indoor pics, but I took some excellent shots of a stage show in a local theatre from row J! I agree about screen protectors - they are essentialif you don't want long score marks from top to bottom of your screen. The music player is ok, but not up to the standard of a Sony Ericsson, and not as loud as my old N95 My only major gripe, as Lee has said below, is the phone lock. This unlocks with the gentlest of pushes, and does so regularly in my pocket! My niece has a 4 minute answerphone message of me talking to a workmate; this could have been very embarrassing had it been a more confidential conversation. Using a quality case alleviates this problem, and I echo a previous reviewer who recommends using one. This is the best Samsung I've ever had. That being said, my wife hated it! One mans meat is another mans poisin, I suppose! Rating: Reviewed by Bex on 12/05/2009 my first samsung!!! I'm made up with it!!

So easy to use..texting etc and a brilliant camera! The only small gripe i have is with the battery life..the phone was already on gsm 900/1800 as suggested on here so HOW do you turn 3g off? Would also mention its slightly bigger and heavier than other new phones on the market but to me thats a plus not a minus..feels like a proper phone Would recommend to anyone!

Had this mobile for about a month now and absolutely love it. I must admit to being a bit wary due to some of the reviews I had read below concerning battery life but following recommendations to turn off vibration I now find I'm getting 3 or 4 days use withourt re-charging which to me is as good as my previous Sony Ericsson. Being on an unlimited web package I find the web browser to be fast and addictive and had no problems with download speed etc. I must admit to still having a problem setting my email function up when trying to incorporate a Hotmail account - anyone have any ideas? apart from this I think Samsung have come out with an excellent model which I have no intention changing before the end of my 18 month contract. If you're considering this phone, I would highly recommend it. Rating: Reviewed by Nikki on 20/04/2009 Just got this phone..How do you turn the key tones off. It is driving me mad.

Rating: Reviewed by andy on 10/04/2009 got this from phones 4 u web sales. phone is free and £25 a month on orange dolphin 35 (usually £35 a month). bit of a bargain i reckon. overall i like it but there are a few annoying things:1 selecting a contact from phone book is fiddly but you can save some as favourites which helps.2 there are no themes.3 you cant change the screen savers they provide so your stuck with girly flowers and stuff like that.4 screen lock can easily be pressed when in your pocket making it "live" so be careful you may call someone without realising.(you can put phone lock on though which will help).5 some of the choices on menu screen are a bit odd- ebay? music store? etc. i will never be using them,probably somethings orange altered. i still think the good points outweigh the bad though and i would recommend this phone. Rating: Reviewed by Nick on 08/04/2009 Had this phone 24hours. Feels Cheap to hold and use, lots of side button noise. Screen lock button is pointless as it turns on/off in your pocket. Battery life is terrible. Camera is no better than that of the K850i. Touch screen is OK but not as smooth as id like. Rubbish selection method in Phone book. Menu's look boring with the white background. Symbols up the top are straight out of the 80's. Im sending this phone back and looking at something else. Come on Samsung, you can do better than this surely!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by GT on 08/04/2009 I love this phone. It takes a little while (1 week or so) to get used to it, especially if it's your first touchscreen. The camera is fantastic (it does have a close-up macro as well as lots of other options). The screen is great. My phone also came with a 8GB micro-SD card which is going to be very handy! Initially I found it hard to add apostrophes when texting in T9 mode, they're available in QWERTY mode, and in the symbol menu but don't come up on the alpha-numeric keyboard. I've now used the QWERTY mode to save a range of words with apostrophes to the dictionary and that has solved the problem. People often mention the lock button on this phone.. but I've bought a leather pouch (designed for the iPhone) which holds this phone nicely and my phone stays locked. I've had no trouble with the screen, and I find the touchscreen really responsive.. although I haven't tried the handwriting feature. Rating: Reviewed by AnNoYeD!!!!! on 21/02/2009 Very bad phone!!!! I had it less than 12 hours and it froze on initialization and can't be fixed! PC Suite is not user friendly at all.Battery life is bad and after being told by my phone network that it has Wi-fi, it doesn't and that was one of the main reasons for purchasing the phone!!!!Camera is not that good, the slightest bit of shake and your photo is ruined! Worst phone I have ever had, and I have had some terrible ones! Rating: Reviewed by goodtimes on 17/02/2009 Ive had this phone a few days now, im a great fan of samsung phones, my latest phone being the g600, but needed to upgrade so chose the Pixon. First impressions were excellent, but the more i use it, the more annoying it gets. First of all the battery life is very poor, it needs charging every day if you have been doing anything on the phone. Then there's the screen savers, which i have to add can not be changed!, it would be fine if they were cool pictures but not everybody wants flowers appearing on their screens all the time. The keypad lock is the worst i have ever come across, why didnt samsung style it like the Omnia?!, to lock this phone it uses a hold button, which is most cases would be fine, but you dont have to hold it to unlock the phone, you merely touch it and the phone unlocks! Very annoying. The phone doesnt have GPS but you can download Google Maps but at your cost. The phonebook uses a scroll system, not practical at all, theres no search feature, its very annoying. As for the calendar, you can only enter schedules, what happened to the appointments, memos, tasks and to do features, you cant even enter peoples birthdays properly. All in all the phone is ok, but samsung have not done a good job on the basic functions.
