i believe "thesuperburrito" has a pg-6200, as he got his from his providor in mexico.
mobile review reviewed it
http://www.mobile-review.com/review...pg6200-en.shtml

I am just shocked how low it has gotten on ebay, the price. Very tempting, but I have a similar model, a pg-3600, still waiting for the pg-3900, but I dont think the HK sellers in ebay ever got it.

Yep, I got a PG-6200

It's a nice phone, the pictures come up very nice especially when you see them in a computer screen. As for the video, it can get more blurry than, for example, a Sony Ericsson K790 (maybe I'm being unfair here, since the SE is meant for pictures and videos).

The functions available for the phone are nice too, if you don't want anything too fancy. I used to have a Sony Ericsson K700i and it has more options available (such as FM radio, easier Java installing etc.)

All in all, it's a nice phone with a sleek design. It's very practical for my particular needs, since I only needed a good camera phone (other functions are pretty useless for me since I use a PDA for contacts, calendar, tasks, MP3, etc)

The only real problem I have with my phone is that my provider locks up a lot of functions from the phone and I don't know how to unlock them, like changing the external screen wallpaper, the handbook says how, but my phone only lets me choose from 6 wallpapers, all of them with my provider's logo!!! does anybody know how to unlock this sort of stuff?

thanks!

is it easy to load java games/apps? on a scale of 1-10 what ywould you guys rate this phone? worth buying it? i also read that the mp3 player cannot run in the background? no radio? i mean i have the 5300, what am i gaining a better camera? is that really all i get? just a little bit more novelty. i really dont want to talk myself out of it.

I bought this phone last week but I cant send or receive Picture messages. It keeps saying Network error. Does anyone know how to set it up so I can do this? Also when I select the SIM option in the menu it says "unavailable".

Posted by: aw614

who is your carrier? You can possible do an ota from SE or Nokia as it works on the pantech

Posted by: talktomikey

Im with Vodafone New Zealand. What is an ota?
