Samsung Rant M540

when u text on this phone, does it cap to only 160 characters like my curve??????

Does anyone know how to sync the phone to the computer. I have tried plugging it in to the usb port, pressing connect to computer, going to the sprint and samsung website to find the software, even sprint support.....no fix.
When I plug it in, the computer doesn't show it in the my computer screen. Using vista.

who's with me???!! 😁

I came over from Verizon. Waited patiently for my contract to expire and did a lot of research on plans that would work for me, and so far after just a few days I really like my Rant. My problems so far are relegated to Ringtones and data files. It seems that if you add anything to the data card it won't let you use it on your phone - thumbnail images, midi files, mp3...nada. If you aren't buying it from Sprint Connect or taking a picture of it, don't expect to be able to use it.

How many recent calls do your phones store? My friends phone only holds ten, is there a setting to change this?

thanks

I charge my phone it can be completly dead it will say done charging after 10 minutes or less, also even if i charge 2 hrs or more it will always have one bar missing, and my talk time is nowhere near 5.5 hrs more like 1, also my screen stays bright alot after phone call is complete just stays on the main screen,,, anyone else???

I've been using the MP3 player that is accessible by:

Home Button > Tools > Mass Storage > File Manager > Memory Card > ..

Then selecting the MP3 I want and playing from there. I absolutely LOVE it, and this phone. However I prompt the question since I have not been able to find any information or figure it out on my own..

What all are the file formats that it can support to be played? I know you view/listen to .jpg, .txt and .mp3 from there but I would like to maybe view video also b just copying a video onto my MicroSD card and popping it in.

Thanks a ton!

You give the Rant a crappy review because it does not compare to your Centro.
Why would you not do your research before buying the Rant if it is not up to par with the Centro?

For someone like me who is used to having an old Sanyo flip the Rant is an excellent upgrade.

The Rant is a 4.5 out of 5 at least but because of your low useless review it is now below 4.

Go take your Centro and get out of here already.

How many of you are going from the palm centro to the samsung??

I have the pink centro right now, and am thinking about getting the samsung rant...but i have a couple questions before i do....

Can you download ringtones from myxertones??

Does the web browser work good for myspace and is it fast? because when i had the rumor, it would always shut of and restart!

and....

Does it have the express or demand app? like the muziq and the centro does, like checking the movies times, weather and all that? because i love that and would like to get a phone with that option.

and can you customize the colors instead of having black backgrounds and all?

and is the picture caller id screen FUll and big?

I know it is too new to know how long it will last but i heard quite a few people complain the 450 slider wore out pretty quick.

when I did the compare phones to a rumor, I notice the rant doesn't have MMS? was that just a mistake on phonescoop's part? I hope!!

I have had samsung flip phones in the past and hated them. The speakers were never loud enough and were always distorted.

Anyone know how this one will be? What about the camera quality? I have an LG Fusic now.

Works for me.
