You can update Android to 2.3.4 using the offical Samsung Kies software, and when its asks you to update the firmware click yes. Welcome to Gingerbread :)
Great small Android phone for only 150 Euros sim/contract free! Bargain

Just got my Galaxy Gio and so far, really like it. One thing I can't work out is how to add multiple phone numbers for a contact. Can anyone help me with this?

Any news abt the official gingerbread update guys.??.. Has anybody tried the leaked gingerbread rom for gio..?? Is there any chance of flash support for the browser.. I'm also facing the "accidental menu key press problem" but the battery ain't that bad..lasts about a day n a half.. Try cheking 2G network only if your network desn't offer 3G..

I use this device and I enjoy using it even there isn't a shutter for the camera (and sometimes I think it's annoying). Beside that,the sound from this device isn't really good. So this is not recommended for you who like listen to music. But overall I satisfied with Galaxy Gio :)

Hey Samsung!! WHY you forgot this small things??? Nice Idea the Galaxy Series but....
The Galaxy Gio: IF the screen was only 1'inch more...(3.2' --> 3.3') the Gio was a very nice and hard choiche for mid/level smartphone on the market to buy.
What you can see in this model, and we don't know why (?).
Is the speaker upper to the logo samsung is in black color...But if you see in almost newest models of samsung phones have a chrome effect on that...Just in 'Galaxy Gio S5660' is black? They forgot.....
After purchising your mobile you have to buy of course a memory card, because internal is only 158 MB is very very poor....minimum 16GB (ad cost almost 30 euro a good one)
Also missing a Native Divx Player...so you have to arrange to buy some player by the android market... and maybe if you lucky it works.
I really need something small and a Quality\Price product like This Gio,
it's a fantastic opportunity for beginners to start with an Android phone, you gonna fall in love with android in a very short time...
Don't forgot, hardware is same but newer (and maybe better) than iphone 3GS.
And you got a 800mhz processor..not bad! Resolution is same 3GS, lcd have a good brighthness... The 3'Inch less screen should be a good battery life.
Ps.'Galaxy Ace' must have a 1500 mAh battery...AT LEAST...

AnonD-3713, 06 May 2011Also, it's funny to see that you guys don't complain about ... moreThats because this is neither a high end product like iphone nor is this a midrange product like X6.
GSMarena does not complain about resolution in low end devices like this one or even Nokia 5230.

AnonD-4100, 07 May 2011Compare it with zte blade /orange san francisco and compare... moreI don't know about prices in the UK but here in Australia the Gio is ~$200 and the X5 is $300-$350 so obviously you would expect it to out-spec the GIO. Maybe the Gio is priced closely to the X5 in the UK so I can see your point of view if indeed this is the case.
I'm still struggling to find anything that can match the GIO in terms of specs in the same price range here in Australia.

Compare it with zte blade /orange san francisco and compare it in price range with huawei ideox x5 which is around 280 € without contract. They are in sectore of resolution and display size better then all listed devices above, and ofc better ram amount, only ting Blade has lower frequency (600mhz) then samsung gio.
Who ever complaind about low resolution on nokias smarthphones had and has a good point to expensive phone for the worst resolution in high end phone sectore. Back in the day 5800 and x6 were high end phones and nHD resolution isn't good for price range of 300-500 € then and now.

What else do you want from a ~$200 smart phone? Obviously you can only compare it to the competition in the price range and it can hold its head up high.
There's no point in comparing an entry/mid range smartphone to a high end smartphone.

What a brilliant phone for its price range. It has everything you could want from a entry/mid range Android phone and is a treat to use for those that don't want a huge display.
The beauty is that it's only going for $199 here in Australia on prepay which is a bargain.
