Personally, i think people here ask too much from this handset; let's don't forget that this smartphone is the very first smartphone from S class; Could be the nany for Galaxy S I9900, etc etc...it is just an entry level for smartphone and the users should be happy that Samsung thought that nobody knows everthing for the start and they consider this smartphone as a first stept into the smartphone world!

        i like this handset very much! I am 18 and i think it's perfect for me...no big fun of stuffy gadget; it is just perfect to me for an Android; it is flexible, you cand costumize with app. you like and you need; The long life battery is ok for me; the touchscreen, the meniu! It's just a basic smartphone which helps me much!

                Samsung was using an operating system called "Bada" which was not popular at all, but this is an amazing phone to have android(which has around 1 lakh applications), Wifi, And 3G in it. The sound quality is not that bad but slightly lower than sony ericsson or nokia, however its worth the money. An equivalent to this phone in HTC is wildfire which would cost 16k and sony xperia which costs around 14.5k but this phone costs 9k and moreover its got capactive touch which gives a good feel of touch to the users.....

                    Samsung Galaxy 5 is really a dream phone for me. Just look at it, its awesome, it has got looks, better that any phone, touchscreen is 2.8 inch capacitive, so never worry about its sensitivity or life and durability. Actually smaller screen are much easier to handle and take care. display is at its best in price range. Keys are nice. You are getting android smartphone with touchwiz 3.0, speed is fast and zippy performance never slow down you or your phone. Camera is mediocre, never mind. Phone is compact and gives you all you ever need in a smartphone. (3G, GPS, WiFi.......). Battery is above 'GOOD' battery standards. So if you need a perfect phone, compact phone, smartphone and best phone ever produced by samsung at extremely low prices, go for Samsung Galaxy 5.
                    Thanks for reading full review, don't think too much about it, go for it.

                            of course you can reduce the ringtone sound while its ringing, just press the volume key on the left side..and as for text message, why would you need the lights for? there is a notifications alert on the upper left side of the screen

                                Hi guys,
                                Has anyone compared galaxy 5 to huawei ideos?According to the specs,Ideos seems better..comes with froyo..3.2 MP camera,has flash support,proximity sensor n loads more,and importantly is priced at almost half the price of galaxy 5..Has anyone used ideos?
                                Check out ideos before deciding about galaxy 5..
