A good phone for starters, but it is limited by its internal memory of just 158 MB. External memory up to 32 GB is useless because most of the programs can be installed on the internal memory only. Another major problem is that once it goes to sleep (screen blacks out) when run on wifi, email or other activities simply do not work, unless manually refreshed. This is not a problem when it runs on 3G. It is rather a disappointing phone.

susie q, 26 Oct 2013would like to up grade phone memory. how can I do it I posted an opinion, look into it. You must be brave and tech savvy to do, but it is possible to "fake" a memory upgrade with a fast sd-card.

shabari, 22 Oct 2013Hi, can this mobile be upgraded to latest Android version g... moreIt can't. The last official release from Samsung is Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread). There are some unofficial ROMS based on CM10/Android 4.2/Jelly Bean for this phone but it is not recommended because the phone has limited RAM and internal memory - You will slow the phone down and the battery will drain faster.

I have this phone for almost 2 years now. Great little phone except for the small internal memory. To bypass/fix it follow the following steps: Get a fast SD Card - more than 2GB, backup the one you have because you will wipe it. Root the phone and install CWM5. Partition the card in CWM boot menu. Create a partition bigger than 1GB -bigger the better, keep swap smallish or none. Then copy onto the visible part of the card The Ultimatum ROM (a CM7.2/Android 2.3.7 based rom). Install it through the CWM boot. In the installer use the SD-ext option, the partition you created on the SD card will now be added and the Android OS will think it is part of the internal memory. NEVER REMOVE THE CARD WHEN THE PHONE IS ON. The phone will take longer to boot, but my Ace think it has 2GB internal memory, and it is quick after boot.
My advice is a brief overview, spend the hour or two to study the guides on How to Root the S5830, The Ultimatum install procedure and the SD-ext plugin. All advice available on xda-devolopers site.
Note: You are possibly voiding your warranty if you follow my advice - read up on how to install the official Samsung ROM through Odin (also on xda) if you need to take the phone in, reverse everything or bricked your phone. Also all data (incl contacts, messages, photos, videos, whatsapp archives etc) and apps on phone and sd card will be lost so back them up with Titanium or similar tool, and copy the contents to your PC. Make sure that the SD card is fast, I had a slow card on my GF's phone and the phone froze until I bought a new card and started over.
