It's kinda funny to see how it boils down to this according to comments & reviews: do you want a phone that has problems doing phone calls or do you want one that has problems getting GPS navigation lock. Other than that, it just seems to be a choice between being a casual consumer and a power user accordingly.

If SGS is such a crappy smartphone it would not outsell iPhone 4.
If it will, especially after Froyo update its released, you own Samsung an apology.

Anonymous, 17 Aug 2010When it comes down to who you should believe, John Carmack... moreYou are free to believe whoever you want, I develop (within a team ofc) physics engines for 3d games, I am just giving the critic view of someone "who knows the backstage" rather than your "biased judgment of a legend" who in the end is just showing off a static environment alpha level demo without any fps counter to back up his claims.
Because Carmack did good in the past doesn't mean he's going to do well forever (Frankly, any programmer I know agrees that since quake's 3 engine carmack didn't make any révolutionary engine, he's only a genius because he puts out the base concepts of his engine alone, which is at the time of his announcements often a leap forward.)
I'll only believe it when I see it running final version, to me a powervr 335 that can render only about 30M raw polys/s can not possibly catch up to a playstation 2 or a xbox. I mean in the developping world, this is like going against a basic rule of physics which would be gravity...

[deleted post]What they say is that GPS works after a reset, so you can use GPS and Samsung will release a fix.
I have a Nokia X6 with the same problem, but I do not mind so much if at the end of the day(reset) I can use it. My Galaxy S has no problem whatsoever with the GPS and I use it weekly when jogging. The endgadget (Apple's branch in publishing:) ) also mention Vibrant and Captivate. Although they are from the same family with SGS, they are not the same.

[deleted post]When it comes down to who you should believe, John Carmack an legendary game programming genius or some random guy posting on the Internet about some crap games they can write in JavaME or Flash, I think I'll take the word of the person who pretty much invented the first person shooter over random guy any day.
Cocoa touch pwns Java, cocoa touch pwns Flash, you can keep your 2d scrollers.

If not, you're not in a serious enterprise. And then again you don't even know what you are talking about, since software encryption with a cortex A8 would be as fast and seamless as hardware encryption. It will just suck up some cpu time when opening and saving files...

I thought the review was quite unfair as they did not specify the biggest flaw (the GPS signal doesn't work), what a biased review hope you manage to do one for the Motorola Droid 2 antenna issue vs the Galaxy GPS issue.

You need a gmail account and a credit card. The problem with the iPhone is that I cannot buy an app outside App Store(except you jailbreak your iPhone and loose the guarantee, too bigger risk for me). For example I bought an improved version of the Track and Protect app, from the developer site, since on the android market only a free washed down version was available.
