When the first cell phone arrived, which was shipped with Android 1.5, I installed the day Apps and tried various things like the barcode scanner. I loved the phone.
FLOP:
=====
Now I wanted the phone to update to 2.1 and have chucked the Samsung New PC Studio CD and 7 (32 bit) installed on my Windows. Connected phone and it was not detected. But only as an "unknown USB device" appears.
Two days I have the phone to 5 computers and with the help of various forums, it tries to bring up and running. Without Success. Full frustration I returned the phone and get a new phone for 5 days. This cell phone I have connected to your PC and it was immediately recognized!
Happy I then New PC Studio starts and started the firmware update. New PC Studio announced it would no update available! 1.5 would be the current version. Now I went back in the forum search and become very quickly found, several users had ordered the phone here at Amazon and a "Swiss" get mobile, just as I also.
And on the "Swiss" servers probably seems no Android 2.1 update to be available (until Saturday, 05.08.2010 at least not). So the NPC does not work here. Whether you received a "Swiss" cell phone, you can easily find just see if Google.ch is set up as a home or the key combination * # 1234 # to enter. The result was with me "I5700AUTIL1"
Now an update me was proposed on 2.1 with the software ODIN in the forums. To this end, there is a good guide. It is also not difficult. So I had the actual update performed by "rumsuchen much" in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, not having the Samsung software, but with external tools. And the search for solutions has taken the most time!

Now the mobile phone itself, I can only say I'm still excited.
The battery lasts for 2 days at me loose. Download it currently, but every night and since it has 50% to 60%. And I'm playing currently for hours around it.
The camera / photo quality is still adequate for a snapshot / AdHoc movies. The mobile phone itself, I find it very successful, small, handy, chic.
The software works very well and I found my way around very quickly.
IPhone owners have taken full of curiosity my phone under the microscope and found it very well by the operator (without wanting to compare it now).
For the money right in my opinion the price / performance ratio.
A radio, the phone has not aboard. But I have a cell phone Flate for 9.90 / month. and streame Internet radios. So I do not miss it.
