It was when I had version 1.0 of the IPod software on it, but since updating the IPod to version 1.02 it appears to have fixed it.

Not as fancy as an Applephone, but still: I completely busted my financial limit of 150 Euros with this Samsung SGH-U600. As soon as I fiddled around with it in the shop a little bit my decision had fallen. images/smilies/smile.gif Only downside so far is the weak battery.

Hey nice one! That's what I bought for my birthday back in September, but mine is blue.

The battery isn't so bad. I don't talk too much and I charge it every other night, it's a tradeoff you have to make for something so tiny and slim. How do you like the camera? It's pretty good for daylight pics.

For a change of pace, a REAL toy:

http://icebone.dyndns.org/yoyo2.jpg

http://icebone.dyndns.org/yoyo3.jpg

My first "real" yoyo. Got a cd full of tricks with it and suffice to say, my shoulder aches right now, hehe. Heaps of fun, this!

Not bad for handheld 1 second exposure, i should say.
