Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL review: Through different eyes

2 February 2011
Success breeds imitation and we have the next Galaxy SL remake to bear witness. But make no mistake about it – the Samsung I9003 is not just another clone, with changes running skin deep. We are talking a new screen, CPU and a different battery here...

                            I had bought this phone on 19th March 2011. Used it for a week and the phone started giving major problems. The touch would suddenly stop working for a couple of hrs and wld strt working on its own again. with time the problem aggrevated. Finally i went to the service center. After their failed attempts to fix this issue, they told me they would give me a replacement. It has been more than a mnth now and i am still without a phone. Everytime i call them up they give me a new date. Now,with 20k stuck with Samsung, i feel very helpless.
                            I wanted to know if anyone else has faced a similar issue with the touch of the phone

                                      gsmarena, please update audio quality section in the review. I am eagerly waiting for it to decide whether to buy it or not.

                                        This model comes with a poor inbuild speakers. I feel the audio quality is not that good. The ring tone voice is very feeble and it is difficult to hear it on a crowded place.I feel SAMSUNG has not done justificaiton on this part. I dont know whether the forthcoming upgrade to Gingerbread (A2.3)could resolve this problem.Regards KV
