    Hi!
    I have recently bought this phone. Features are good but the sound is not up to the mark.
    One thing more, can anybody tell me how to play video clips in this phone… i’m unable to do so. The manual that came with the phone is so thin that even a phantom comic book is thicker than it!!
    Thanks in advance!

    i’m fed up with the phone. the video i recorded with it doesn’t have a known audio stream. i’ve to see muted videos in my comp. can anybody help by informing me about the correct encoding format it uses.

  6. Anuj Says:

    I want to buy a phone with dual (CDMA+GSM) support. But i m confused in between Samsung Duo or Spice Duo. Which one you guys advice me to buy. I want feature and the performance too. Sound quality should be good, and i should receive call from both (cdma & gsm) network without changing network.
    Please suggest me.

  7. Prasad Says:

    i brought this mobile 2 month back. music is good & display clarity is not that much good as well as camera also . 3gp clip is not supporting and some mp4 also …i’m completely unsatisfy with this………

  8. gaurav Says:

  9. benny Says:

    I am also trapped in duo…..
    TATA couldn’t give the call divert facility. so am used this as a single sim phone.
    please mail me how to play
    3gp

  10. senajit Says:

    I found out a solution. this mobile can not play 3gp.
    but if you convert your favourite videos to mp4 format using “Xilisoft 3gp video converter 3″ , the phone supports these videos.
    thanks all.

  11. senajit Says:

    use “Xilisoft 3gp video converter 3.0″ or higher to convert your favourite videos to .mp4 format. Duo supports these videos completely.
    enjoy

  14. ruchi Says:

    i brought samsung duo recently not able to play vediop files touch screen also not working properly oh

  15. new customer Says:

    useless phone … only sounds fancy …. nothing much ….
    the lack of a key pad to dial numbers / message and the lack of an FM radio are things that are sorely missed….

    handwriting recognition —- lower than average

  16. Somnath Birla Says:

    I am also trapped in duo…..
    oh!! My GOD, can anybdy tell how to access GPRS in GSM mode—————……..???????????????

  17. B Basu Says:

    1)Sound qlty is v. good. 2)Bluetooth doesn’t work sometimes. 3)Camera qlty bad. 4)Only 1 SIM can work at a time. 5)Call-forwarding and call-divert possible only to Airtel, Vodaphone and Aircel. 6)GPRS will not work in GSM mode. NOT RECOMMENDED.

  18. aditya singh Says:

  19. Harry Says:

    I bought this phone because Samsung advertises this phone as a world phone. But the phone doesn’t work in US. I even tried in china also. The phone doesn’t seem to work outside India.

  20. Dr.Satish Says:

    samsung DUO-OK PHONE,very good touch screen(not happy calibrate it),it is the ONLY phone where you can use TWO CDMA or GSM sims-bad thing being non simultaneously,no support for reliance cdma or even virgin(tata venture!!!!).
