Just thought I'd start a thread for this amazing Bada phone. Any thoughts,tips and tricks,are welcome here! Really digging this handheld at the moment for a lot of reasons. Hopefully ma develop nila ang market ani, as it is great.

Great phone for the price, I bought this phone purely out of curiosity and while waiting for the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S to be released outside of Globe, very impressed with the phones performance, the real wow factor for this phone is the screen, speed and affordability!

Im not really type of app-centric person where I need to install over a dozen apps and only use the messaging and keypad application =P

Just thought I'd torture test the phone's video playback last night; tried playing a 2.9GB MKV of Lost's final episode (res is HD 720p). I was expecting a crash kay it took a few seconds for the video to load because of the filesize, pero lo and behold it played like a champ.

Mejo choppy cya with certain XviD/DivX video files. I think depende gi unsa pag encode sa movie kay I only got really minor choppy playback on some, the rest smooth kaayo. What I noticed tho is its really optimized for mp4's and mkv's using the H.264 codec.

@EarlZ: what brand of micro sd card do you recommend?

i bought one last tuesday and i'm really satisfied with it. i've been waiting for this for weeks and now i have one on my pocket.

the first thing that you will notice is the screen. it's the best i ever seen on a phone: bright and crisp.

the second one is the camera/camcorder. man, the picture and video it capture are great even at dark with it's bright led 'flash.'

video playback is superb but it takes a while for the video to load. i tried mkv and avi. anyway, have anyone tried running an srt file with the video? how about mkv with built-in subtitle?

anyway, the phone is an instant hit at the office when i showed it to my officemates with a lot of the surprised when i told them that it only cost 18.5k. usual comment is the smooth ui, crisp display, great build quality, camera that could rival cheap point-and-shoot and a look that doesn't ape the iphone or androids.
