Hi all

 

Further to my naïve question thread, can I ask the Samsung Owners Group (SOG) to try and help me love my 8300….

 

I’ve come from a lowly Sanyo 8400 to the S8300 but man, I SERIOUSLY miss the Sanyo’s ease of use and easy to navigate operating system!

 

Here are my issues (and this may be an ongoing thread!) (sorry for the following in caps – I’ve been drafting this in word at work and can’t be arsed to retype it):

 

 

1. NUMBER OF BUTTON PUSHES TO GET TO THE NUMBERS WHEN TXTING! ALL THE EXTRA NONSENSE CHARACTERS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS! E.G. 11 CLICKS TO GET TO THE ZERO! 8 CLICKS TO GET TO THE 3! (WHY DO I NEED A TRIANGLE SYMBOL ANYWAY????? ARGH! THERE SEEMS TO AN INORDINATE NUMBER OF USELESS SYMBOLS!

 

1. SETTING SCHEDULES IN MY CALENDAR – SEEMS I HAVE TO SET THE TONE WITH EVERY! SINGLE! ITEM! – WHY CAN’T I JUST SET A BLANKET TONE FOR ALL CALENDAR/ALARM ITEMS??? YES IT HAS A DEFAULT SETTING BUT WHY CAN’T +I+ CHOOSE A BLANKET DEFAULT SETTING?

 

1. LIMITED NUMBER OF TXTS STORABLE – I APPARENTLY HAVE 70MB OF INTERNAL STORAGE BUT ROOM FOR 2000 (!!) CONTACTS! I AM SICK OF HAVING TO DELETE TXTS ALL THE TIME AS IT TELLS ME I HAVE TO…I HAVE FOLDERS SET UP FOR SOME TXTS I’D LIKE TO KEEP AT LEAST FOR A WHILE BUT THIS CONTUNUAL DELETING IS RIDICULOUS – MY FRIENDS NOKIA E75 HAS ABOUT 2000 TEXTS IN IT! (I DON’T NEED **THAT** MUCH ROOM BUT IT WOULD EASE MY DISLIKE!) AND THE E75 ONLY HAS 50MB INTERNAL STORAGE! I DO HAVE A MICRO SD CARD INSTALLED – CAN I  TELL THE PHONE TO SAVE MY TEXTS THERE BY ANY CHANCE?

 

 

I’M JUST GETTING WARMED UP HERE……J

 

 

THE WOW FACTOR OF THE CAMERA (QUITE GOOD AS IT IS) IS **NOT** MAKING UP FOR THE OTHER STUFF – I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH THE SONY ERICSSON W995a WITH AN EQUAL SIZED CAMERA AND MORE INTERNAL MEMORY BUT  $300 CHEAPER!

Cheers all
