Hi there
I want to install android market for my galaxy s because the phone didn't come with it because I'm from middle east (Egypt) and I bought my mobile from KSA and it comes with android 2.2 froyo preinstalled, what is the easiest way to install android market ?
I found a way on the internet that says

"enter the following *#272* then follow it with the time on the phone (4 digits) then follow it with #
example, the time on my phone now is 18:51 hence I shall enter *#272*1851#

and as I read it will work for android 2.1
but for android 2.2
*#272*[IMEI number]#
then chose "XSG".

I have a question here before doing that
Now my phone does support Arabic Language as it comes with it, will it be removed after doing that or not ? beacuse I as read about that on the internet that it will reset your mobile phone .
please help me because I need the android market so much
thanks in advance.

        You should be able to install most, but not all apps to an SD card. Further more, you can download an app called App2SD to move apps already installed on the phone.

                        Bujji, 11 Jul 2011Its nice but Poor battery back up@Bujji

                        Battery life on mine will typically last for two days of moderate use which is very good for a smart phone.
                        Battery life is always dependent on how the phone is used. If you listen to music a lot or browse the web or play games then obviously the battery won't last very long.

                        Cheers.

                          The camera is what you should expect it be as a mobile phone camera. Not brilliant but not bad either. The software that drives the camera has some very nice features like Panorama, smile detection and a slow shutter speed setting for capturing shots of fireworks without the blur.
                          Night shots won't be very good though as there isn't any flash.

                          All the best.

                                        Now I understand the concept of internet pass-through. However, I don't understand the need for it.
                                        What is the actual point when I can connect wirelessly via my router from anywhere in the house or garden, instead of hooking the phone to the PC via USB which is a bit of a ball ache by the looks of it.
                                        It's also telling that no other manufacturer has bothered with it because there isn't any demand for it.

                                        Cheers.
