It seems that the Samsung GT i9000 Galaxy S Android smart phone is having some issues when it comes to connecting the handset to a computer –sadly, the problem’s symptoms come in the form of completely wiping the device’s memory and content storage. This means that the Korean phone maker better have some quick fix on the way.
According to reports, the Galaxy S Android smart phone will connect to a computer through the use of special software. However, when this software detects files in the Galaxy S that uses filenames that are over 16 characters long (we assume that the count also includes the file extension as well) a memory wipe is activated.
Now, this little function could be functional as a remote feature on the handset which would allow owners to easily wipe the data clean if the device is left behind in a public location. But right now, Samsung needs to help out their users; and considering how important the Galaxy S is, they should be cranking out a solution as soon as they can.
In other news, images of Nokia’s upcoming C7 Symbian smart phone have been circulating online and from what we have seen, the device looks a lot like your typical Nokia touch screen smart phone and in terms of specs, it truly is a lite version of the upcoming Nokia N8.
Still, smart phone fans on a budget might want to try out the C7 thanks to its sleek design, ergonomic form factor and of course, the new Symbian^3 operating system. According to reports, the new OS focuses heavily on the touch screen UI and of course, media playback.
According to reports, the C7 will be launch shortly after the Nokia N8, which places the launch window sometime between October and November this year.
