User Review for Samsung SGH-i550W

« See all reviews

Great phone BUT.....

Apr 2, 2008

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: not compatible with Vista
Cons: good solid symbian OS
Opinion:
I just bought this phone from M1 and was eager to use the phone and all its features. After all the set up discovered that the software for PC only operates in XP or Win2000. Called Samsung and all they have is an apology.

I was thinking this phone has been in the market for a while (in other regions) and i am very surprised and disappointed that there is no PC suite softare for Vista.

What is the use of a smart phone when i can't even sync my calendar on my outlook.

Now have to use back my good old N95.. on hindset I should have upgraded to N95 8GB rather than trying out samsung.

Nokia 1 : Samsung 0.
