        Rs. 11,900 in Flipkart. Completely satisfied with flipkart service and delivery. Also the phone is excellent value for money, easily the best smartphone in its price range.

              Everybody is comparing this phone with 5800 XM.
              The points where galaxy 3 excels above 5800XM are-

              1. Galaxy has capacitive display, XM has resistive.
              2. Galaxy plays divx, Xm does not.
              3. Galaxy has Android(which is way better than Symbian).
              4. Galaxy has multi-touch, XM does not.
              5. Galaxy has a 667 MHz CPU, XM has 443 MHz CPU.
              6. Galaxy's battery life is better than XM's(1500 mah vs 1320 mah).
              7. Galaxy does not hang, XM has a habit of hanging and lagging due to slow CPU.
              8. Galaxy's UI is much better than XM's.
              9. Galaxy takes few seconds to install/uninstall apps. XM takes ages.
              10. Contact management and SMS is great in Galaxy. XM is obsolete.

              Points where XM scores-
              1. It has flash.
              2. Has a higher res. - 340*640.
              3. That's it.

                I have been using this amazing phone for the past two days and here's what i have to say-

                1. Fast CPU, cool gallery with 3D effects.
                2. Camera is great outdoors.
                3. Battery life is the best i have seen on any phone yet. I have been constantly playing with this phone since two days, yet its monster battery is still 80% full.
                4. Pretty loud speaker.
                5. Superb touch response( since it is a capacitive display).
                5. WQVGA resolution is not much of an issue. Text looks a little pixelated if held close to the eyes.
                6. Images look crisp with 16 million colours.
                7. Bundled earphones have rather low bass but team it up with sony earphones and the audio quality is great.
                8. Build quality looks robust.
                9. Android OS is simply rocking. It offers great functionality and user-friendliness. Try it and you will forget the clumsy and old Symbian.
                10. Supports multi-touch.
                11. I guess this is the best android phone in the 10K- 20K range.

                I seriously recommend this phone if your budget is under 20K. Trust me, you will not find a better option.

                        Does this phone have Accelerometer and Compass? (GSMArena says yes, but official Samsung specs are silent)

                        Can someone please try Google Sky Map on this and let me know if it works? That will be the main reason I will buying this phone.

                                    Friends,
                                    I got mine (Galaxy 3 aka GT-I5801) a week ago at Univercell, Alwarpet, Chennai. Here are my observations:

                                    1. Touch is excellent. I also have a Motorola A810, which supports resistive touch, so it is a big leap for me.
                                    2. Applications loaded quickly initially, but after I added a few more applications and browsed the net, the speed has come down a bit. I think this is not related to the phone; I will have to clear things up.
                                    3. Sound quality is good. Video is good, too. I haven't seen AMOLED or even the 320X480 resolution of I5700, so I can't tell how this would compare with them; but for me, text, images, and video just look great.
                                    4. Battery lasts for 1.75 days with a bit of 3G browsing.
                                    5. I use BSNL 3G. Initially I could not use the 3G network. A friendly folk on the net provided the answer. Now, I could switch on/off 3G.

                                    I think I5801 is a true VFM phone. I longed for I5700, but now I don't miss it at all.
