Hey guys,
Just a quickie!
I just got a D900 from Virgin on pay monthly....will the phone be externally branded? i.e. have a big ugly virgin blob on the outside?
I'm presuming it'll be locked...it must be.
Thanks
Al

Not really
Depending on what site you got it from.
Most site's(i.e e2save.com,mobileshop.com and so on) use sim free phones
So there is a good chance that it might be sim free and unbranded.
Not 100% sure with virgin though
Posted by Alec
Ah well I got it direct from virgin so presumably it'll deffo be locked then...
Posted by JaayDon
More than likely mate
Sorry
Posted by Alec
Doesn't bother me too much, though I'm not presuming there'll be one on the front...which is a bit annoying.
Edit - Just seen the batt cover it won't be on that.
Thanks mate, great help.

Yeh im sure you can do that
I hate the virgin symbol aswell
Posted by Alec
Yeah so do I actually lol.
But hey, I got a D900, woo!
Posted by JaayDon
tbh i hate the D900
Had one not that long ago and hated everything about it
even though it was a 3 mp camera, It was actualy really crap quality.
Plus the phone felt like cheap plastic
Didnt like it

Now that is very odd. I haven't held one myself but all the reviews and people I've asked about it says it has a lovely feel.
Reviews on the camera quality are mixed though.
Apparently the screen is quite vulnerable, being only plastic.
Posted by JaayDon
I think the phone looks good and that but honestly imo it does feel like cheap plastic.
Kept thinking I was gonna break it.
Even when your opening and closing it, it feels really vulnerable
Posted by Alec
Heh we shall see I guess!
Tomorrow it comes, between 8am and 5pm.
I'll be damned if I'm getting up at 8.
Posted by JaayDon
Is it being delivered by royal mail or a courier service?
Usually if its royal mail it will come with your normal post.
Couriers are there about 9am
Well thats what its like with me
My normail mail doesnt come till 11am or something like that
Shocking
Posted by Alec
Courier i'm 99% sure.
Yeah my postie keeps getting later and later. Was about 1pm by the time he got here today.
I added an extra note with the delivery details "please ring bell repeatedly, lazy teenagers live here"...hopefully he gets the message.
Posted by JaayDon
haha your more likely to scare him off with that one
I always answer the door in my boxers only and my high sticking so high up its hitting the ceiling.
Its brill to watch there face
Posted by Alec
Ha...that reminds me of a story. Though it's probably not suitable for here....
Thanks for all your help mate, I shall let you know my opinions of it tomorrow eve!
Right now I'm off to play some 360. Toodle-oo.
Posted by JaayDon
haha no probs mate
Talk to you later
Posted by Miss UK

@ Alec
Did you get your D900?
@ Miss UK
You can put your own songs as your ringtone's. It is message alert tones that are preset by the phone.
Posted by Alec
I got it.
Am still making my mind up about it. First impressions aren't great.
Posted by JaayDon
Well as I said to you mate I didnt like it at all
For being a 3mp camera its really c**p quality
But then again you might have a dif opinion than me
Also, is it locked and have the virgin branding?

Not on my phone you can't,
you can't use MP3 as nothing... appart from listening to them lol
Samsung got intouch with me today about this... all they said was I had to get intouch with 02 cos it's 02 phone im pretty fed-up tbh
02 are gonna tell me aload of crap I just know it
it's a nicephone but not being able to set MP3 as ringtones is a downer,
another thing Samsungs actual wapsite isn't even reconising the phone
"Hello it's a Samsung handset" grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Posted by JaayDon
Well I checked my brothers D900 today(he is on Vodafone but the handset is sim free) and he has an mp3 set as a ringtone
So i find that very weird that they can say it's an o2 fault when it would actually be the software on the phone that would be causing the problem
I.e ITS SAMSUNGS FAULT!
Posted by Miss UK
Seriousley they sent me this in email today:
Dear kerry
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.
[Solution]
With reference to your email please contact 02 as this si an 02 handset
they can advise on ringtones on this handset

it's seems like they are telling me to sod off pathetic pr***s
does your phone allow you to set MP3s as ringtones?
Posted by JaayDon
You have to get them told
Cause o2 will just tell you to go to Samsung about it
When i had my D900 yeh it let me set an mp3 as a ringtone. Didnt let me set it as a message alert though
Posted by Alec
Yes I have an mp3 as a ringtone, sounds like you've got a dodgy phone.
Meh I'm not too keen on the phone, think I may well ask Virgin if I can change it, if not I'll cancel the contract. It's too flimsy, I'm scared I'm going to break it each time I use it. It's also not that much better than the D600...I can't really see what Samsung have improved other than the camera.
It still lacks radio and is still NOT customisable. Grr.
Ah well.
Posted by Miss UK
Well I only got it on the 23rd December so if I don't get an explanation of 02 tomorrow im gunna go to the shop with it and ask them why it doesn't let me preset MP3 ringtones

if you decide to keep your phone
Ps, I forgot this phone allows you to change SMS tones I mean download more, the D600 was pretty rubbish of that it didn't allow you to do it.

@miss uk: There's nothing wrong with your phone, it's the i-mode software, it blocks certain things.
My cousin had identical problems with his Samsung, an earlier i-mode version. He emailed Samsung about this and got an almost identical answer, as you did (with one difference, of course, they told him, to go to KPN, the Dutch provider, which has the i-mode license).
Also, the Samsung website doesn't reckognise his phone.
Apparantly, Samsung sees these phones not as Samsung-, but as i-mode phones.
Besides these few things, my cousin is happy with his phone, though.
Posted by Miss UK
Im happy with the phone but I want MP3 ringtones,
when I convert MP3 to MMF (What all the tones work as preset ringtones)
they sound really distorted.
Ive Emailed 02 anyways lets see what they say,
im hoping it isn't what you say being the i-Mode being the issue preventing the phone from functioning correctley, what a real shame
Posted by Alec
Does anyone know how I can get the D900 to auto save sent messages in the sentbox?
I saw it being discussed about the D600 but not D900...?
Posted by Miss UK
I haven't a clue sorry on the D900 lol...
Marley I took my Z650i bacck to the shop,
as you said it the i-mode firmware + all the new samsungs are gonna have this on them aswell 02 told me today, ive exchanged myphone for a James bond K800i it was only £30
02 are refunding my other cash so ive saved £90
Posted by scottt
Nice one Kerry! James Bond K800i deffo the better phone
Posted by Miss UK
yeah well atleast ive got james to look at now haha
Posted by Alec
I'm getting a k800i tomorrow, will have to make the decision as to what phone to use.
Whats the best place to get a k800i unlocked anyone know?
Posted by Miss UK
Alec did you trade in your D900?
they should've put 3G on it i would've prob gone for it if it had that on yesterday
I like samsung phones, elegant and user friendley for the ladies
btw I dunno where to unlock K800i's can they be unlocked that is the question :lol;
I haven't checked if mines unlocked don't care if it tbh it was only £30 cheapo phone lmao
