Guest leo-balou Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 BE CAREFUL - JUST GOT MINE THIS MORNING AND DESPITE WEBSITE SHOWING QWERTY KEYBOARD THE ONE THAT ARRIVED WAS AZERTY. They are looking into it - but I have a feeling they don't actually have the UK spec. Maybe back to Expansys? Thanks for the advise - mine arrived today so will check when I get home.

Guest stephen.gazard Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Leo - did yours have AZERTY key layout ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4N1L Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, i would be grateful if someone could confirm this also...this is the one thing stopping me picking up the phone and ordering from pixmania.

Guest 4N1L Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Update: Arne Hess from 'The Unwired' wesite believes that the second variation on this device will be released by Samsung in Germany. Can't decide which styling i like better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 "The i320 is packing tri-band radio, Windows Mobile 5, microSD and a 1.3MP camera " honestly theres nothing about that spec that makes me want this phone. just my -2 cent :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Its all about function through form. To be honest day-to-day 90% of the time i use my phone is for the odd web browse, texting and emailing, oh and i have been known to use it for calls too...:) If i need anything more i'll swap my sim to my Wizard or Universal. In my eyes this device is gorgeous, and performs the above functions far better than any current offering (Q aside...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest airwar Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Well I have been using an i320 for about two weeks now and I can honestly say it is the best smartphone I have used to date. Before someone picks me up on features such as wifi 3G etc I should clarify that I have used pretty much everything from an Nokia E61, QTEK 8500, K-Jam, G-Smart(really bad), SP5, etc, etc... The key is the size of the device, in that can I use it (read carry it around) at the weekends when I don't have a suit jacket to put the device in. The i320 looks like a normal phone with the addition of Qwerty. The other obvious advantages are that is has the push email, box ticked, it plays music, it has a camera, it's well made and it feels well designed. The only downside is that it does not have the battery life of some other smartphones, particularly the E61, and I only get a day out of one charge. I know it would be nice to have WiFi, 3G, Quad band and all that and I used it all in the Nokia and found it really useful, however it all fell down when I was carrying it around at the weekend. It was just too big.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Airwar, I.m using a nokia e61, and i'm really tempted by i320... can you tell me please did you get yours from pixmania? people dont seem to be sure if pixmania ones have azerty or querty keyboard???? Anyone got a querty one from pixmania??? Cant wait to get one ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airwar Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I got mine from Pixmania and they were AZERTY keyboards which did bother me a bit initially but I got used to it. However shortly afterwards I got Qwerty units from my normal contract mobile supplier via somewhere in Europe, with Qwerty keyboards. (I buy al lot of phones for the firm, along with Blackberries etc) I would hesitate to recomend Pixmania as they are next to impossible to get hold of for anything other than sales questions....However it was useful to get a look at the phone as early as possible to determine what to buy in the future. The only thing I am unsure of is how committed Samsung are to this model. France, which I visit frequently, has been plugging them on websites etc but they have a more extensive Edge network. It might be that a different version, posted on some sites as the i320n will come out over here with perhaps UMTS??? Anyway it is a really good phone and for my purposes allows me to use it both as an email device and mobile phone at the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamichy Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks for the reply airwar. Expansys told me their ones will be querty, but their price is way too high, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airwar Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 None that I could detect....so far....Just keys, Euro power supply and default language which is easy enough to change. They were all set to French! Hope you like the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
