Is it possible to switch off GPRS and switch it on only when you need it? I'm using Mobile Office option provided by Airtel and could not find an option to switch it off as and when needed.

The screen guard seems to be a perfect fit for the phone. I bought the phone from Samsung store, hopefully it is a Samsung screen guard. Could not notice though since the sales agent applied the screen guard for me while I was busy making payment.

Anand, 23 Aug 2010@viv: thanks for posting ur valuable feedback to help futur... moreI can find almost all apps & games in the free category.
I tried Launcher Pro. It works fine. Tried 3D app drawer. Added items to top and bottom docking views. Did not find any issues. Will try more features later today.
Tried playing Winds of Steel game demo. It works fine.
Tried playing Raging Thunder 2 (3D) racing game. Graphics appeared to be a bit lousy (Car colors were washed out, otherwise ok), but was able to move my handset in either direction to finish last in the game.
It did give a feeling that the game is running fine, but I guess developers need to update their code to include 240x400 res and gracefully scale down the graphics.

Got one today from Forum, Bangalore (Rs. 12250 + 250) - Phone + Screen Protector.
Handset feels nice and solid in hand. one of the better looking phone in this range.
Screen is very good. Good colors and good sensitivity.
Camera is good. Video camera is rubbish.
Apps run smoothly, no lags whatsoever.
Very good call reception & voice quality.
Very good audio and video player. Excellent image & voice quality.
Lot of free apps & games on android market.
Internet browsing and corporate email setup is flawless.
Overall, very happy with the purchase. Got much more than what I expected.

Got this phone at Alfa market in Vile Parle (West) - Mumbai for 12200. Ya, a bit more expensive than online and I probably would have saved about 200 by shopping around. But oh well...
First the cons
1. Touch screen is sensitive
2. Accelerometer does not work to change screen orientations at all times. Maybe some screens are locked to portrait.
3. Swype - no intuitive way to invoke it.
4. Cheap quality plastic outer body. Does not feel so great in my hands.
5. Basic Android problem - no way to close/shut down an app. They just sit in the background. This is not specific to Samsung but to Android.
6. Finger print smudges all over.
7. UI stutters a bit with touch.
Pros
1. Features versus price is probably the best today. Android marketplace is a bonus.
2. Light.
3. Multi touch works very well.
4. Display is bright.
I did play around with the high end Galaxy Android (Rs 27500) and it was very responsive, but this phone has everything except AMOLED display, display size and thickness (or thinness). For less than half the price, I have no complaints.
Its ironic that my very first PC had a slower processor and less memory than this phone.

Galaxy 3 available in hypercity, malad, mumbai @ 12,249. They did not have a demo piece so could not actually check one out hands on. The salesman said company has not provided one yet (:. I was quite surprised when I asked him as to when it will be available and yet pointed to the display and said we have half a dozen ready to sell.

Day 2
---------
1. I am able to use Swype, which is a gr8 feature
2. I was able to connect to Android Store over GPRS. Downloaded the Facebook application,and it works fine.
3. Increased home screens to 7 from default 3.
4. Battery is nice, after fully charging it overnight, it was at 60% after a day's usage (calls, reading, surfing, FM, music, videos, etc). I guess it can last 2-3 days on normal usage.
5. Phone gets slow ehen I trying to see running applications in background (under System menu) and sometimes while creating a shortcut. At other times, it works perfectly.
6. There is no screen guard for the phone available in market :( , so have to wait and use the default one with all Feaure text written all over.
Yet to Figure out
-----------------
1. Shortcut to lock phone, other than power button.
2. Another Xvid player
3. Try some Android apps
