      Stop with the bad gps signal . Is not the phone is the software. But not all firmwares have issues. For example factory I9000XXJF5(from Romania) works perfect. Also the Froyo JP3 test version work perfect as well. In september Samsung will release the official version and all your problems will be gone :).

              NOTHING, so what are you talking about an unreleased, underpowered piece of trash last hope for Nokia in this thread for?

              At least Apple won an award.

                hunk143, 17 Aug 2010N8 can never beat Galaxy S. __________ N8 sucks beacuse: ... moreSymbian is a much more resource efficient OS than Android. I own a Galaxy S myself and Android Multi-tasking also pales in comparison with Symbian. Even with 512Mb RAM, I had to tweak some settings using AutoKiller to make multi-tasking practical on the Galaxy S as compared to the previous symbian phones I used.

                A 700MHz CPU for Symbian is roughly equivalent to 1GHz CPU for Android or iOS. The only issue is that Nokia choose to go with ARM11 instead of Cortex A8. 256Mb of RAM for Symbian is equivalent to 512Mb for Android. A 1200mAH battery for Symbain with moderate hardware give 1.5~2 times the battery life of an Android phone with a 1500mAH battery. I used to charge my Nokia 5800 once a week, for the same usage and after much tweaking, I get 2~2.5 days on my Galaxy S. I am guessing N8 would be nearly on par with 5800 in battery life.

                Galaxy S is a great Android phone and it will have its strengths. N8 will also be a great phone and it Symbian has its strengths as well.

As gor the samsung, you can get gingerbread if you wanted to. It meets the specifications and just like a pc, you can install what ever verisio of android you want on it as long as you meet the requirements. Go the samsung, I had te 1phone 3gs and sell the iphone 4. if u had 3gs, there is ont point getting te 4. there isn't any real improvement other than the new case. My galaxy has all te iphone stuff plus more. AND NO ITUNES!!!!

                                ""Use wireless networks" is now turned off by default, but even with it on, the phone may be slow or unable to determine even a rough location. Originally, we'd believed this was the only problem. Samsung tells us that it's a new Google mandate that Android devices be shipped with the "use wireless networks" option disabled, which means you're relying on traditional GPS alone to determine your location -- a lost cause indoors, in urban canyons, or under dense tree cover. Indeed, we discovered it was turned off on our Captivate, Vibrant, and Epic 4G after fresh hard resets, and there's no indication to the user that it's probably in their best interest to enable it; we're accustomed to being presented with the option during account setup on other Android devices, but it doesn't happen here. After enabling it from settings, we found that both the Captivate and Epic 4G were able to get our location with 1,000 to 1,500-meter accuracy practically immediately in Google Maps, though the Vibrant still never came through; it had the weakest signal of the three, which may have accounted for that (though it never dropped the signal altogether).
                                The regular GPS circuitry and software aren't doing their job. Cell tower triangulation and WiFi location database services like Skyhook only take you so far -- at the end of the day, you still need to tune in to the birds a few thousand miles up to figure out precisely where you are. All Galaxy S models seem to be having trouble turning GPS reception into coordinates, even when the phone is able to see four or more satellites in view (four is the minimum you normally need for a precise, three-dimensional lock). In some cases, resetting the phone apparently helps, but it ceases to work again after a day or two of use. To our knowledge, none of the homebrew fixes out there have been able to solve this part of the problem perfectly and permanently. The Captivate and Vibrant are both affected by this one; we're not sure on the Epic, but we're working to nail it down."

                                  I think the reason te Iphone 4 didn't win anything is simply becase between the 3gs and the iphone 4, there is very little innovation, just small tweaks and a super strong case. The first Iphone was innovative. After that its all the same.
