To rival iPhone on features and speed at this price, it is an achievement. I think Samsung will hit big with this phone because of the price and the full Android experience.

    It has a very good battery life! 1500mA, note that. Nice and big screen is good for eyes. Google maps with street view is cool!

                          I want to buy this phone next week..

                          To anyone want to upgrade to eclair, just run the software updater from your PC Studio 7, wait until finish and you will get the latest Android 2.1 or go to samsung service center (free charge)

                                  samsung is releasing the i5800 at almost the same price of i5700 spica.
                                  so, it might decreased the production of i5700 and started on i5800

                                      If you connect your phone with usb debugging enabled then PC studio will identify your mob(you cant sync or access phone memory though), unfortunately even i couldnt find an update using that s/w hence i went for a service centre. There are many unofficial way of updating your device on the net but will void your warranty.

                                      Am living in the southern tip of India however found these service centres in your place googling.

                                      the only way is to set a pattern and then disable the haptic feed back. There is no other way to do it.

                                      I couldnt figure out any way, apparently after heavy googling i found that theres no option available to disable from there!!!!

                                        Is there no way to do it by myself online? I tried through Samsung PC Suite but it doesn't even detect the phone.

                                        Also, if service centre is the only option, would you have any idea where I can find a service centre in Gurgaon?

                                        Thanks for your help in advance. :)
