        oka, 19 Jul 2011Which mobile is better samsung galaxy S I9000 or optimus black?well oka vias aside i will pick lg black than the smsung galaxy s. tell you why although sammy have more gig then lg out of the box and also the upgrade for gingerbread they have already for the gs while lg come only with 2 gig sdcard well you can buy additional gig this negate the advantage of the gs and also the upgrade for the black is just around the corner as it may come this sept . ok design wise it depend on you but i think lg black is very attractive on its seamlesss design and its color black and white versions we came to the important part both lg and sammy have both 5mp but the galaxy s dont have led flash important in night pictures and you cannot buy that! also the front cam the vga of sammy versus the 2mp of lg well there is no upgrade for that for sammy.. now here is the thing super amoled versus nova well i think nova have a slight edge its very bright and contrast is very good but sammys amoled have nice depth of color so if we talked about the price here in the philippines galaxy s is much more expensive than the black its still selling for 24,000 while the black is 19,000 now also the galaxy s i heard have now stop production of the super amoled galaxy s . well there is the galaxy s2 which i think is the best right now in its class.

                      Some questions to ensure that I don't miss out anything before buying it.

                      1.Does this phone support USB based charging?
                      2.Does LG gives PC suit which can be helpfull in taking back up of contacts or editing Contact details in
                      PC?
                      3.Swype comes preinstalled?

                            AnonD-12462, 18 Jul 2011@all lg optimus black v/s galaxy sl 1)i guess galaxy sl ... moreno offense dude, just to correct you, in terms of ram SL definitely wins. galaxy s and SL both have 512mb ram, then again, galaxy s shows 3xx mb of ram available, as SL, it shows 478 available, the gpu og galaxy sl uses less ram than galaxy s resulting to higher available ram. optimus black shows 3xx ram available too. due to other features that optimus black ommit

                              Once you go Optimus Black, you never go back!!! Haha, I'm sure this has been said before but I'm too lazy to sift through the previous comments.. But seriously, this phone is amazing, especially that LOVELY screen. Just got mine and it's awesome. The gesture-control thing is really cool too, it adds a nice touch to this well-rounded package of a smartphone...Go check it out guys!

                                @all
                                lg optimus black v/s galaxy sl
                                1)i guess galaxy sl wud be better in terms of lagging problem koz OB uses the same UI as fir the dual core Optimus 2x wich z not very nicely optimised for single core fones
                                2)UI dat depends on your choice basically
                                i wud abytym prefer LGs UI
                                love the friends widgets (htc like)
                                3)Screen:Optimus black a hands down winner
                                n i feel its better than any display among smartfones
                                4)battery: GSL 1650mah OB 1500mah
                                yet OB is a winner as the display is really an economical one (uses only 50% of the power as compared to otherrs)
                                5)camera: 2mp front facing camera in OB as compared to VGA cam in galaxy sl
                                6)multitasking : 512 complete ram in OB as compared to sm 478mb (i guess ) in galaxy sl ,OB wins it here again
                                &)GPU n HD gaming: same GPU in both the devices hence both are equally capable of handling those draining games
                                7) gesture key : nothingof use .. u wont b using this feaature aftr a week of use bt yeahh its a cool show off thing among your frenz ;)
                                8) internal memory : with OB yu get mere 1 or 2 gb internal mem... n 'mere' 4gb in galaxy sl..... either ways yu r going to buy a memory card
                                both the capacities are not enough for any heavy users
                                choice is yours now
                                i hope i helpd

                                    Can some one tell me which is the software i need to install for voice call recording i downloaded two three applications but the performance of the phone was not upto expectaion when i installed these applications.

                                    2) The voice is clear incomming and outgoing only when the volume is set to midium at high volumes the recepient is complaing that he is not able to hear unless when dialed for the second time.

                                    3) I tried installing updates thru the PCSUIT and the phone went blank and I was not able to reload the OS

                                    can some one tell me if they are also having similar problems

                                      kimeang, 18 Jul 2011can somebody tell me which one is better betwent optimus bl... morewell if you are looking for brand support between the samsung and lg its samsung bec looking how they keep rolling out the upgrade on there smartphones also the samsung hub is better than lg world . but spec and screen wise its the black over the galaxy s talking about the s-lcd and amoled disply of the 2 galxy s versions the nova display is the best of the two also the camera of lg has flash while both versions of the galaxy s dont have flash on there cam although they have 5 mp the lg have slight edge on quality. well if you want a upgraded gingerbread galaxy s with good brand support its samsung s but specs wise and a promise of lg to a upgrade to gingerbread which will really push forward the lg black against its rivals on what can be define as mid high end class of smartphones.also price wise lg beat samsung and fortunately there is android market to compensate for the lg word
