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.

            Bingo, 22 May 2010Really can't understand why Gsmarena seems to like it so mu... moreGSMarena, always make good an unbiased reviews that are actually based on facts and good knowledge of the mobile world.

            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.

                    Really can't understand why Gsmarena seems to like it so much...
                    No free GPS navigation solution
                    No Flash support for the web browser
                    No flash for the camera
                    No dedicated camera key
                    Feeble loudspeaker

                    For me it is a big NO, too many letdowns.

                        anony, 22 May 2010does it have a dedicated GPU lke N8, Iphones and N900?... e... moreSamsung' hummingbird SoC(System on Chip) packs :

                        - 1Ghz ARM Cortex-A8(slightly faster than Snapdragon)
                        - PowerVR SGX540 GPU(3x faster than Snapdragon)

                        This phone will have much better graphic responsiveness for the UI and most important for 3D games.

                        This Chip is the top of the top in the smartphone market for now.

                        Snapdragon is also a SoC, so when we say snapdragon or hummingbird we don't mean the CPU only. But people get it like that.

                            does it have a dedicated GPU lke N8, Iphones and N900?... even though it ran fast at 1ghz CPU, the graphic transition might not be that smooth compared with dedicated GPU...

                                    speed is already quite good and in the future when Froyo arrived (stable) it is going to be better than this time as Froyo is already 2-5X faster than Eclair
