Customer: I want it.

Sales Rep: OK let get one from the back

*** "Girl from Ipanema" plays quietly in background while customer patiently waits, pondering the coolness of new purchase ****

Sales Rep: OK, here we go. Now let me ask you, will you be taking picture with this phone?

Customer: Uh, its 10 megapixels. Yes.

Sales rep: Great! Your going to love what it can do. Let me ask also, do you want to send your pictures to say friends, or store them on your computer.

Customer: Yes. Why?

Sales Rep: Since each picture is about 4Mb in size, your either going to have to sign up for an unlimited data plan, or you can upload your favorite shots for just $2.50 each.

Customer: Huh?

Sales Rep: Now do you download music.....

the success of ipod is not only the hardware itself, although that's impressive. it's the whole package including itunes and how it works hand in hand and provide the ideal user experience from searching for music to purchasing to downloading to getting it on your player.

unless samsung or other phone manufacturers come up with better UI and easier user experience, they will stay in the category of phones that does a few other things like photos and music, but won't take over ipod's music player market.]]>Mar 9th 2006 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/Mar 9th 2006 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/Mar 9th 2006 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/

hard disks run hot, take a LOT of energy and break too easily.

Think about it that this phone prolly has a vibrating alarm!!!

Oh gosh, here goes my harddisk :(

8 GB SD cards are around the corner and probably will be out at the same time this phone will come on the market.

Yet SD cards have many more advantages:
- prolly 10 times smaller
- takes much less juice
- have a much longer life expectancy
- don't break after 2 weeks because of the vibrating alarm
- don't break if you drop your device
- can be used in other devices, prolly 15 categories right now (digicams, moviecams, PDAs, desktop, laptops, cellphones, GPS devices, radio-alarm clocks, portable DVD players, TV sets, etc.)
- YOU choose the storage size
- you KEEP the storage medium when swapping/upgrading to a new phone
- etc.

To Post#26: I went to the HDD manufacturer's website http://www.corniceco.com and read that they have added all sorts of new features to make the HDD more able to withstand the typical usage inside a mobile phone. Things like extra ruggedness, lower power consumption, etc. Also, 8GB of Flash will be so expensive that no one could afford to buy the phone. To get 8GB capacity, it's gotta be a HDD at this point in time.]]>Mar 10th 2006 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/
Best thing about this is the XScale 416MHz processor combined wtih GPRS EDGE means it should run a Skype client over GPRS that will save a fortune in phone bills when travelling the world! ]]>Mar 26th 2006 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/live-from-cebit-samsungs-sgh-i310-8gb-musicphone/
but i was thinking of getting the i300 before i got my spv c550, glad i didnt cos of the battery life was so shocking, but wish i had cos at least it has no crappy joystick to bust, joystick on mine lasted about 6 months before playing up, hence the desperation to move away from any htc smartphone eg. the c600 (uk orange) seen the scroll wheel in operation and it looks impressive, just hope they can get it spot on battery life wise properly

and the guy that posted about the photo's being 10mp, thats the other samsung phone :)

my friends have windows 5 htc smarthpones and they work fine, my 2003 sphone crashes more than those, so i dont see why the samsung cant handle the system??

and i dont see why people are complaining about how the phone looks chunky, it has a hell of a lot of stuff in it to be honest, if you want to look like you know what you are doing get one of these phones, if you want to try deperately to look cool, get a razr, but you will soon learn from your mistakes
