Congrats!

Remember to put the phone off while you charge it for at least the 1st 3 charges, and let it charge for at least 8 hours each time.. really helps with the battery.

Congrats spiff.. What an awesome phone so far. One huge problem though. I had 2 major lockups so far which needed me pulling out the battery. After the second time the phone kept 'stalling' on the startup screen.. Eventually it gave me a an error "Phone Start Up Failed Contact Retailer". It did finally switch on and has been working perfect since.

thanks guys for all the help & info. :cool:

I had a similar situation this morning after a whole night on charge, when I tried to switch the phone on this morning. it would not switch on, so I pulled the battery out - replaced it and then it switched on. nothing a fiirmware upgrade can't sort out.

All in all, the guys here at work r drooling over it and now regret getting the HTC:D

Yup that is kewl...

4pm to 7am's great, I also charged mine for as long as possible on the first charge.

I'm not setting up my work email on my phone, otherwise I won't have a life because I get anything from 100 to 300 emails a day, but I would like to set up my Yahoo. Anyone know the settings for this?

GPS is easy to set up, just put the card in and install it, then it sms's you an activation code that the GPS automatically takes off the SMS, you mustn't go out of the GPS to get the code. The instructions are all there so don't stress..

I had the same problem, also had to pull the battery out. You might notice if you unplug the charger and plug it back in without doing anything in between it also freezes, or at least mine does, but not too concerned because as you said, it's nothing a firmware upgrade can't fix.

I've got my data settings, I think you dial *123# to get them, but there is no email wizard to help set it up.

As far as I know the the Samsung GPS is just another GPS but not near as good as the Garmin one, I'm not sure though. Navigator is the Garmin GPS, just remember you have to keep the memory card in to use it.

Hey guys i hear LBS breaks the i8910, so far i havent heard good things about it.
 
Not too sure, apparently messes up the phone and only a firmware upgrade can sort out.

anyone have the latest (september) firmware for the phone? I see europe has a update already??
Click to expand...

As far as I know the updated is not available to most countries yet. The one that's out in Europe is the Italian version and you can only use it if you have the Italian firmware on your phone.
 
Tired of waiting. Bought a new 8 gig for 5k from ebay. In the post
