General Comments

Had my Samsung S300 Mobile Phone for about two weeks now. I'm impressed with the stylish design and the small size of the phone. However, there are a few gripes. When you want to write an SMS using the predictive text facility it automatically defaults to capital letters. There is no dictionary to store extra words in like with the Nokias. You find yourself typing a lot of words in manually time after time. Also, the ring volume isn't very high, I have many missed calls that i simply havent heard.

Does anybody know whether you can set the phone to just play one alert when you get a text message? For some reason the phone alerts me every minute or so until I read the message. This can be very annoying during the night or when your aware the message is there and just cant read it straight away! Also the phone comes with two batteries but the problem is you can only charge one up at once and if one is left for awhile without use it drains away. Therefore cant have a full battery ready when one runs out!! Anyone any ideas on how to organise this?

I do like this phone because it is small and stylish and fits easily in your pocket but i think next time i might be tempted to go back to Nokias. They seem better quality with better facilities. Wouldn't say it worth the money.

    Set the message tone to beep once, then it wont ring every minute, but then you probably wont hear it at all... incredibly stupid, and it has been that way since the first samsung was made! dont understand why they dont change this...
