i called them and they said they will contact me,it has been more than 15 days no one called...
Hi All...I am having a problem with my G3. I have configured my official account on Outlook. I have problems syncing the mail. When I click on the outlook (email) icon, it opens all the mails but automatic syncing does not seem to happen. I have checked the sync frequency and set it to 'sync every 5 minutes' but the sync and auto-notification does not seem to work. Can someone let me know what to do?

Custom ROMs will replace the factory ROM, thereby erasing EVERYTHING that you have on your phone (but not the data on SDCard). Thus, your phone need not be rooted to use any of those.
Additionally,
1. Some ROMs are pre-rooted, (with live wallpapers enabled)
2. Some ROMs are not pre-rooted and you can manually root them yourself, but it is not compulasory
However, know that if you are installing a custom ROM with FroYo which is not officially available for G3, it will NOT be covered under warranty. But ask yourself this: how frequently do you need to give your phone for servicing anyways? Also, you can simply DOWNGRADE to official ROM anytime (2.1 Eclair).
Most people also don't seem to know that one can always UNroot the rooted phone to gain back the warranty. Much simpler way is to just flash it with original official ROM, however!

Looks like something is coming -
"Samsung company has announced two news, one about releasing a Gingerbread update for Galaxy S and another about Froyo (Android 2.2) update for Samsung Galaxy 3 (I5800) and Galaxy 5 (I5500).
....
..... Galaxy 5 (15500) will get an update next week (14-20 March) and Galaxy 3 (15800) will be updated by the end of the month.
As the two news are from Samsung Romania Facebook page and not from company’ global Facebook page, so the news may be only for that specific region but we can hope so soon."

^^ I don't think it would be OTA for us in India. AFAIK OTA are provided by carriers and ours is not carrier-bound, so i think it would be through Kies. Hopefully it comes as the news says..

Have successfully upgraded to Froyo thru the official update using Kies at the fifth attempt. All data, settings are intact. Prima facie all looks ok.
Am now moving Apps to SDCard to free up phone memory thru - Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Press on an app , and then tap the Move to SD card button to make the transfer.
