5 November, 2010
Samsung may have hit a snag with the Android 2.2 Froyo update for the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S, but that has been sorted out and the update is already rolling out in the UK. And it was about time - with Android 2.3...

TC, 06 Nov 2010I have not bashed or written many comments about any other ... moreI am not a fan of any brand, not even
Samsung. I criticise N8 because it is a
very bad phone with an outdated os
and X10 is also a very bad phone.
Nokia and SE have the most fanatic
fans of all brands, including IPhone. Desire is a really bad phone because
it, and Desire HD, cannot even keep a
stable 3G-connection and the built in memory avavailable for the user to
install apps and games is only 131
Mb and that makes the phone unable
to use all the many apps and games
that are available for Android.

Sony ericsson produces good devices but they are bit way behind in updating the android.nokia n8 has good hardware multimedia features and for some symbian is a good OS.u may want eye candy stuff but in some developing countries they like to buy as much as more features phone for a less money in which nokia n8 provides.so if u feel its outdated u cant impose your opinion or feel whats others want.next regarding htc desire hd, it has 1.5GB and 32 GB memory slot with froyo in which u can install apps in SD CARD.so there u go wrong in your comments.By the way its just your opinion so try not to force anyone and your comments are NOT spot on ,it just that u feel so.my friends dont like my galaxy s as they say its looks a iphone clone but its just their opinion and mine is different.peace mate

    Could ppl who actually updated comment on the performance, benchmark scores and such? The biggeat qustion is, does the update actually unlock whole 512mb of ram? Are lag issues fixed? Or are third party app still required to get the fone to perform the way it should perform outa the box. Lets use these comments section for good and to share info instead of bashing and talking smack about every phone out there

      TC, 06 Nov 2010I have not bashed or written many comments about any other ... morei am galaxy s owner and i am not a fan of any brand.i will buy the mobile if it satisfies my need.By the way i saw you in many htc ,sony ericsson and nokia comment section.clearly u criticizes all the devices except galaxy.When u go and bash about other devices in their respective comments section i guess u should also expect some uninvited guests in this comment section.what goes around ,comes around.By the way what u all mentioned regarding htc desire hd , sony and nokia its just your opinion and this is not exactly what others think about it.so u try not to bash other handsets rather than going at the back of some trolls.And i saw many samsung fanatics as well equally or way above nokia and iphone.Regarding my galaxy s i am really having trouble due to lagwhuch i tried with lagfix through xda but of no use.waiting for froyo to rollover in my country.One more thing htc desire hd is a very good device with no signal problem and its lightening fast compared to my galaxy s.my friend owns desirw HD.so dont give some plain absurd reasons if its not in your liking.every devices are unique in its performance and usability.try to give respect to others needs as well.peace

                            today i purchased a galaxy s in karachi . it is very disappointing phone it is having only 3.5 inch display of 640/480 dpi and having resestive touch screen and there is no stylus provided with the phone so i had to purchase seprately and ther is no space to attach stylus and the box claims 1Ghz but actually 420Mhz and 10 gb of RAM also it runs only cupcake 1.6 the camera is also poor it turned out to be only 3.2MP fix focus unit and i had to detect smile and face and blink of my subject which my gt19000 should do and there is very powerfull xenon flash onboard on front too. also there carlzeis lens onboard and 8 gb storage onboard . the shopkeeper says that this is the special veriant for pakistan only just like china special varints
                            is there any galaxy s available ?
                            kindly guide me

                              Samsung is a very bad company, but Galaxy S is a very good phone, but before xwjpa it needed to be "fixed" by the user herself.

                                I have criticised Galaxy S because before xwjpa it used to lag so much that it was unusable but the lagproblem could easily be fixed with a free lagfix so much of the criticism against Galaxy S was not really fair because Galaxy S was/is great but Samsung sucks! I have criticised the gps on Galaxy S because it used to show my location 500 kilometers from where I really was, but when I installed leaked beta Froyo-firmwares the problems with gps was almost fixed, and with xwjpa it now is almost perfect with satelite-fix in less than 5 seconds, but it is still not always showing my exect correct position but it is close enough for me.
                                Galaxy S is the best phone on the market today, N8 and X10 and Desire have to many fatal problems to be able to even come close and IPhone4 is to expensive and looks the user to tightly to use only Apple-approved apps...
