Samsung SGH-E730
What can't I do with a "unlocked" phone.
OK this might be a stupid question reading some of the replies on here. But what features will I loose if I buy this phone for t-mobile service. Right now I have the E715 and I can send and receive text and pic messages, search t-zones, check my e-mail through t-zones, e-mail myself wallpaper. I am worried about this phone locking up or malfunctioning. Just wondering how much I should be concerned and if these things are really an issue before I purchase a unlocked phone. 🙄

The only thing an Unlocked phone will do is allow you to put different SIM cards in the phone, without it saying the SIM card is only allowed for a certain carrier. Many phones that are sold by carriers are locked to that carrier. So, if you unlock it, then you can put any GSM SIM card into the phone.
If they phone breaks, so can't tell the service provider since its not their branded phone. You would have to contact the manufacturer, in this case Samsung since its their phone. But, if you contact Samsung USA, they might not want to fix, it since the phone is not built and manufactured for the USA. Also, they might tell you that they don't have the parts to fix it since its not intended for the US, or a US GSM carrier.

I read the reviews on this phone and was wondering about the bluetooth and the MP3 player. If I have the Bluetooth earpiece can I isten to the MP3 player and the radio or do I have to have a headset for that.

Thats a good question. I wonder can you listen to the MP3 player using the bluetooth headset. I don't have a bluetooth headset "yet" though, but I want on. My pockets are still recovering from buying the phone itself.
As for the part about listening to the radio with the bluetooth headset, thats a no. To listen to the radio, you need to use the handsfree headset(earphones) that comes with the phone since it acts like a headset for talking on the phone, and it also is an antenna for the FM radio. In order to listen to the FM radio, you have to plug the included headphones into the phone. They work real good. The MP3 player plays loud on the headphone, and it works good on speakerphone.
