I bought Ace on Sunday 27Feb from Blr at 14900 and have been playing with it for the last 3 days. This is my first smartphone/touchscreen phone. So can't compare with other models. I was using a Nokia low-end phone till now. Th box had phone, battery, CD for Kiyes s/w, headphone (ear bud), leather pouch, USB cable, charger.
I went by the looks and the fact that it is Android. I am pretty happy with my decision till now. Features that I knew I was compromising are:
1. Arm11 instead of latest cortex - I am yet to see any performance issue till now.
2. Low RAM - As a user, I haven't faced issues till now. Without any activity, the status says165MB/278MB in use. With the "clear memory:, I can bring it down to 125MB. I tried few games like Raging Thunder lite - ran without any perf issues.
3. Screen resolution is only HVGA instead of current trend of WVGA. As a layman, cant make any quality issues.
4. Screen is normal TFT, non-oleophobic, no gorilla glass - misses these features a lot. The screen catches fingerprint very easily and very much visible when backlight is off. Being a rash user, I feel I would soon miss gorilla glass.
5. Video recording is only at VGA@15fps - I dont use phone for video rec. So not an issue.
+ looks, looks, looks good and gives a good feeling in hand :)
+ Very easy to setup and getting used to the menu and lot more features compared to my Nokia low-end phone.
+ Signal quality really good - was able to talk in the moving lift which I wasn't with my Nokia.
+ Usable like a PC - with a range of apps available in the market.
+ No need to carry charger - can charge through USB from PC -like ipod etc.
+ flash available for camera.
- The Kies software not able to load my phone contacts - fails after 51%. So to copy my contacts from Nokia to Samsung - used gmail.
- Once the phone lost the network and didn't come up at all till I restarted. Need to see whether it will happen again.
- Calls does not happen or other not able to call me once in a while - could be my BSNL SIM issue as well as I had faced same issues with Nokia too.
- With Wifi, GPS etc and some activities, battery goes down in half-day. With them off and used more like a phone (few calls only), the battery level was still close to 80% after a day.
- Screen catches fingerprints fast
- Wasn't too impressed with volume level of media even with Senheisser headphone.
- Though 5MP camera, image stabilization isn't there. Comparing with digcams from Sony.

Suresh, 28 Feb 2011Now would be a very bad time to purchase the Galaxy Ace. T... morelol !!! "with heavy use it can go up to 3 days or else one week" !!! r u serious !!! do u realy own galaxy SL-9003 or have u ever had an android phone b4 !!!
no hard feelings mate but after full charge androids can survive only 1.5 to 2 days max with pretty normal use and 'hardly' one day with heavy use...

I bought this phone just 2days ago.
It's an excellent phone going by the price by which it comes.
It seem that lack in ram is well made up by 800Mhz processor.
Battery goes down easily with frequent uses.Well thatz an issue with most Capacitive touch screens.
But I'm unsatisfied with video experience.
QQplayer plays files formats supported by this phone almost flawlessly.
But I am very eager to know how to make my galaxy Ace run .avi files.
Please can anyone suggest on this.
QQplayer,Rockplayer cannot run .avi on this phone!
