Samsung MPower 309 CDMA — MP4 files does not play

MP4 files does not play as stated in the Manual. Only the recordings made via camera opens in the MP4 mode... Samsung should release a patch for this quickly.
videos does not play
yes..
more complaints.. very low battery life.. frequent disruptions of signal.. while the signal bar shows full strength, calls suddenly drop off or no voice clarity.. two other guys (may be more, i know only two who has the same service provider) at office have nokia cdma phones with same service providers & their cell phones are better by miles..
when went to check with samsung service, they say its the phone service provider's mistake & signals may be weak. when contacted service provider, they say phone is faulty. i agree with the service provider though, since other two guys have better signals or call clarity..
went to samsung service, reloaded software but no use..
no profiles so if i have to mute the phone, have to go through bunch of steps..
looks great but useless software.. can go on & on with the low end features but ...
GSM phones of the same company has better software though.
unable to play any video til now.cant minimise music player. i[censored] play music, do nothing
Just I have purchase samsung f309 cdma mobile. Good looking phone but you cannot do anything. Only this phone is use for incoming/outgoing call. This simple feature is provided by any low medium phone starts from Rs.750/-. Please don't buy this phone. 15 days passed, but i am not playing any video files, mpf files, two much steps for any function to use. I fedup with this phone. Now i am using only calling purpose. I am first time user of Samsung Mobile. Go to hell Samsung. In future, I never buy any samsung mobile phone.
Hey i am using the MPOWER-309 for last 6 months. I reloaded the software, through a service centre.
It's working fine, the audio and video clarity are supreb. It's worth for the price compared to nokia CDMA.
It's a good product yaar. I'm felling good with the battery back up also. I felt as the only complaint in this mobile is not supporting jar files.
Yes I too purchased sch f309 all the above comments made are true. we cant even transfer files using blue tooth although following lot of steps it only accepts filed. cant play any any video files such 3gp and other files. useless phone with much cost . weaker network signal call drops evenly.
can samsung return this useless phone. Cannot even use for simple receiving and making calls. Call drops evenly with weaker network signal.
Samsung 309 frustrates me a lot with it's text message legth capability. The problem is I cannot write long SMS more than 160 chars. Default length doesn't increases when default text message's length of 160 chars is reached. Ideally test message length should automatically gets increased or ask for some confirmation(as in samsung hero or other low cost phones) for typing the 2nd part of the message. But nothing of that sort happens with this box. Very annoying because sometimes, I have to talk to my girl friend thru text messages :(

Whatever other folks have written are also true... We request samsung to come out with some software patch to fix all this. I also approached samsung center with the nature of the complaint but nothing happened.
we cant play any mp4 video files converted using any of the softwares.
Can anyone assign a particular mp3 ringtone to a particular contact list? When assigning a ringtone for a contact am able to see only the preloaded ringtones in terms of Basic melodies and bells but am not able to see the Mp3 files which can be assigned. When asked to the customer care and service stations, the answers differ with one saying that it supports and the other saying that the handset doesn't support the function. If you are able to set the mp3 ringtone from memory card for a particular contact then i must upgrade the software.
