Samsung SGH-T609

I bought this phone bout 3 weeks ago and bought a 512 micro card to go with it. This is a great phone but the only flaws I have with it is that you can't customize your shortcut buttons and th music coming out the speakerphone isn't very loud.

Is there any possible way to pesonalize the ring tones for messaging? There is a list of like 5 and no way to personalize or chose from regular ring tones...

Why is it all Samsung phones vibe then ring but not vibe AND ring? WHY???

OK. SO HERES THE T609 TIP OF THE DAY. SO'S MY DAD I WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE HECK TO WORK THE MEMORY CARD PART OF THE PHONE (ANYONE KNOW HOW TO WORK THE MP3'S, IF SO WHAT SOFTWARE DID YOU USE AND WHERE'D YOU GET THE CARD?). THEN I NOTICED SOME BLUE INK TATOOED HERE AND THERE ON THE PHONE. LUCKILY THE PHONE IS WHITE 🤣 . ANYWHO. I DETERMINGLY TRIED TO SCRUB THE BLUE PEN INK OFF WITH MY SPIT AND T-SHIRT, BUT NO LUCK. THEN I HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. GROSS AS IT SOUNDS LUCKILYB I HAD IT WITH ME PONDERING WHAT TO DO THEN USED THE RUBBING ALCOHOL THAT WAS EYEING ME WITH A Q-TIP AND WAH LAH. THE STAINS WERE GONE.... AND THE PHONE IS BACK IN TIP TOP PEARLY WHITE..... I LOVE THIS PHONE! 🤣

Ok, so can anyone who owns this phone tell me what the reception is like? The last Samsung I owned had spotty reception and a lot of breaking up in different areas - mostly at home which I wasn't happy about.
Thanks. 😉

Has anyone who has the phone personally, first-hand experienced any problems with the speakerphone?

Just got my T609, still experimenting with it. Two quirks so far, any ideas?
1. When entering text such as an Email address, when returning from the "special characters" input mode, I always return to T9 mode rather than Alpha character mode. Am I missing something?
2. I'm able to send a picture message to my AOL Email address ok, but cannot get one back to the phone. No error msgs.. sent ok from AOL.. but it never arrives at the phone. Pic being sent is a .BMP file, 290K. What's the proper procedure? Insert the image into an Email, or...?

Can you have personal ringtones on this phone when using Bluetooth. I know many other phones can't. What phones can?

My friend has this phone and I heard the ringtones on it and it sounds way good! You can hear the ringers crisp clear and VERY loud! The Hi Fi ringers are usually muffled with most phones, but with this model there isn't any problem.

Also, I notice this phone is currently online in white, however, my friend went to the t-mobile store and got a black one.

Can you sync this phone to your Outlook contacts, calendar, and tasks? thanks...john

🤤 but it's looks kind of remind me of the 495. 🤨
