No graphic accelerator?

This phone packs the Hummingbird, the graphical accelerator is the PowerVR SGX540

IT'S 3x TIMES FASTER THAN ANY GPU OUT THERE IN THE SMARTPHONE INDUSTRY.

              At first glance, you surely think that the Galaxy S was an Iphone on steroid. If Apple wasn't getting their supplies from Samsung, perhaps they will be the next Apple will going to sue.

I'm not an expert, but I noticed that Android devices tend to have lower RAM than Winmo devices with the exception of HTC who still have winmo in their minds when designing android. These decisions are usually based on heavy calculations and are not deliberate. See for yourselves :

                    X10 : 384 MB RAM
                    HTC Wildfire : 384 MB RAM
                    MOTOROI : 256 MB RAM
                    BACKFLIP : 256 MB RAM
                    MILESTONE : 256 MB RAM

                      We see performance only because the phone doesnt have any apps on it and is not multitasking. The real issue comes when we multitask and this amount of RAM can surely not handle 3 tasks +permanent background tasks. So, its a fail if anything

                              SHOCKING ONLY 256 MB Ram, I got HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2 Which has 256 MB ram, and applications like Internet expolrer and Google maps dont run properly on that. Its like ram memory is not enogh for these applicaitons they close automaticaly. I guess SAMSUNG HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE WITH ONLY 256 MB RAM, HTC DESIRE 576 MB RAM, EVEN HTC LEGEND 384 MB RAM, XPERIA X10 384 MB RAM, HTC HD2 448 MB RAM.

                              Not having Flash (Both Camera & Browser) is not a big problem, but ONLY 256 MB Ram, IT SUCKS,

                              I was gona buy this Phone, but now will think twice.

                                Those things you're talking about are not essential in a phone reviews, it's more user taste oriented. For example I never used the radio in my phone, so I won't have a problem if a phone don't have it. But for other people it may be their deal breaker.

                                You're talking about dedicated camera key, flash and some more thing that may be a deal breaker for some people but that aren't essential at all for others(I never use my dual led flash on my HD2 except for lighting the path at night). You can't tag a phone as a failure just because it doesn't fit your needs and taste, if you want a cameraphone, get the N8, vivaz or omnia HD. If you want a smartphone you can get the galaxy, desire or X10. There is a phone for anyone's taste.
