Samsung I9000 Galaxy S review: From outer space

22 May 2010
Our homepage is the natural home of the deadliest smartphone carnivores. We normally don’t mind but this time is different. Are we about to start feeling a wee bit nervous or what. It’s a beast that tops the food chain, instilling fear and terror. Update: Samsung Dive overview added...

only 256mb of ram and no flash support in the browser made me rethink my decision to swap my HTC Desire for this phone... Maybe i wait for the Samsung Beam :) if this phone will cost 600E, than it is waaay overpriced.

          Anonymous, 22 May 2010this phone + froyo = epic winyes i miss the cheif but.. need to reply to Lq$d;

          the day someone roots this and lets the plain Android or HTC Sense, hell even Acers Areo.. along with Froyo..

          Froyo + (Galaxy S - Touch Wiz) +- Sense Ui (optional) = Legendary.

          just imagine that 4inch Super AMOLED with the real Android.

                        Fantastic review. I have to say, I'm not too crazy about the TouchWiz interface of Samsung. I was wondering if you guys can try out something for me. It is possible to disable the Sense UI for the Desire and EVO 4G with a little tinkering with the settings. Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Amcaot1Us Maybe you can try something similar in the Galaxy S.

                          Great review but I thought the Galaxy S came with 802.11n support and multi-touch in the browser. I'm certain I've seen it in the production models.

                            Without a doubt the best phone on the market. The screen alone makes it stand head and shoulders above the rest.

                              Great Review.

                              Just not that much happy to see the Galaxy S having 256MB RAM. Anyways, A great mobile. Probably my next.
