Can some one clear on the following, as i am interested to buy this phone ?
1. Is there a issue with the Handset in receiving the signals ?
2. Is there flash / torch, that enables to take good photographs during the nighttime?
3. How the maps are useful ? Is this google maps? Does it require GPRS connection to locate the places or will it work thru satellite to locate ?
4. Is the Android – OS is better than symbian OS ?
5. Why Java is mentioned as third party application ? does this mean, we cannot download any java applications from Internet ?
6. Lastly, how is the battery performance ?

        My sister loves this phone so much (Even I admit that it's better than mine)
        so far, we compared the speakers and video qualities.

        for speakers: we used some really crappy and distorted music (low quality, maybe 1.8 mb)
        result:
        on my phone the sound actually quite ok with the low volume but as the volume gets higher, the distortion gets quite clear
        on the galaxy s the distortion is not there! it's really good, even in high volume (it's loud enough actually)

        for video: we use another crappy video
        on my phone: it's quite good, the color is quite yellowish and soft
        on galaxy s: superb, the color is vivid and realistic, a bot greenish compared to iPhone

        ok, hope this helps ^^

              Bala, 10 Jul 2010Hi I'm from Chennai, India and I've been using this hand... moreThanx Bala for the input. I use iPhone 2G (1st version) for looong periods for surfing and it never heats up.
              GSM Arena review says the speaker is FEEBLE on Galaxy. I am worried about it as my iPhone 3G has ridiculously low volume for ring tones.

              I hope it's not the case with this one. I am planning to go for it after waiting for a few more days of Indian user responses.

              I am very keen to buy this. Anyway, thanx again.
              Regards.

                  I'm from Chennai, India and I've been using this handset for a week now. In the initial days I was worried that the phone was getting heated very frequently. But the truth is that in the initial days I was using the handset continously for long duration and in turn its getting heats up... but it's quite normal for any electronic device and that too for a mobile phone which in the background searches for mobile tower signals, wifi signals etc and not to forget the BIG SCREEN.

                  I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE HANDSET! Thats it.

                  Decent battery life, about a day and a quarter but thats supposed to get better after 5 or 6 full charging cycles.
                  Good audio quality, in call volume, speaker volume etc.

                  YES, the phone lags at times and Android Task Killer is the way to go. And an Froyo update will make this phone even better.

                  NO RECEPTION ISSUES AT ALL EVEN IF COVER THE ENTIRE PHONE WITH MY HANDS :)

                  To conclude, I'm absolutely happy with my purchase.

                  Thanks

                      Hi. I recently bought this handset about a week ago, it's a great phone but is anybody having reception problems? When I hold the handset in a certain way, the signal bar drops. Kinda like what happens to the iPhone 4. Anybody having the same problem?

                            It's fast on the internet, pics good - havn't event thought about the fact that it hasn't got a ledflash! It's easy to handle, great to send text with because of the word suggestions that appears as soon as U start writing.
                            Swype is fantastic, but I can't use it in Sweden (yet, will come this autumn) becaus we have å ä ö in our alphabet.
                            All textmessage are sorted by who's sent them. U can read all messages that U and an friend wrote like a chat.
                            Still haven't found anything that I'm NOT satisfied with.
                            The superamoled display really works in sunshine!!
                            Great sound and lots of great features.
                            It's the best mobile I've ever had and I can really recommend it :0)

                                Are Samsung going to deliver firmware updates as promised to all their new galaxy series Android devices inc this one & the BEAM phone?

                                If they don't I'd imagine it will put off a lot of interested buyers inc previous buyers. Android 3.0 is nearly out & the BEAM will be shipped & released with version 2.1...with no say from samsung on support & firmware upgrade?

                                All I can say is they better not dissapoint or they may find people not buying their products if not promising to deliver much needed device software suppport & updates to fix bugs in the code, & add new feature sets. I have to say this is a serious thought to make.

                                Anyone wish to comment who knows more about samsung news & has either bought one of these or anyone who knows samsungs current roadmap current plans & future future plans to support the Android devices with new firmware?
