Expecting Update:
Samsung_Mobiles Samsung Mobile India by kkj76@ @rupamkhaitan Yes, Gingerbread for Galaxy SL is expected to be released around first or second week of july. Will keep you update.

I've been using it for 2weeks. Its pretty good.
Pros:
1. Price - bought it for 17.9k from letsbuy.com (with RCOMLSB) coupon code (may be expired now)
2. Speed - 1GHz, no lag at all when browsing, playing around, quite zippy
3. Size - Slim and 4 inch screen, very easy to type.
Cons:
=====
1. DDKB2 firmware which came with phone sucks.. upgrade to XXKB3 (european firmware) which is very good compared to DDKB2
2. rooting, flashing firmware required to get the wonderful experience (quite easy though)
3. GPS didn't work, have used GPS-fix/GPS Aid, FasterFix, etc to get it work.
4. H.264/AVC codec (youtube HD videos) doesn't play
well in this device.
5. Not so great screen compared to I9000
--------------
Galaxy S I9000 is available for 21.9k on ebay.in If you are tight on budget < 20k go for this one, else I would suggest I9000. for extra bucks, you will 16Gb memory, amoled screen.

On thing I would like to mention about this masterpiece is that, It is Samsung Galaxy S only with somewhat different hardware but whatsoever gets out for Samsung Galaxy S the same would be available for Galaxy S i9003 as well. Like Gingerbread Update & all..........

Literally the best phone I owned yet. Fast performance, great display, and since it uses Android... lots of apps!
Battery could have been better. But maybe its because I tinker with it the whole day lol.
Design: 10 / Features: 10 / Performance: 9 (Battery)

Hi guys.....
2.5 months past and going good with this device....
One thing I have to mention.....
If you are a phone freak then I would suggest you to go for samsung galaxy s I 9000...
Reasons being...
1. Super amoled (i like this when it saves battery compared to sc-lcd)
2.slimer,less weight.
3.16 gb internal memory+2 gb rom (it really hurts with 2gb and when you spend rs.1500 for a sd card:-(.......)
4.lots of custom roms available ( I don't think sl will get custom roms in the near future(spare rex 4u) as only indian user should develop one).and it is most likely to get a 2.3 update(already lots of 2.3 roms available).no talks about the 2.3 update for the indian version.....:-(
5.tv-out
6.better cpu and graphics......
7.time tested and more reliable and better support from co users since it has a lot of users...(i can still remember the number of hits I got in youtube after the first week of it's launch.but we indians dont care to even post a video including me.blame it on our attitude.no one cares about i9003 device internationally.)
8.i would suggest to buy i9000 and use a battery of i9003.yes it is compatible.....
9.and at last you can get a pouch/cover for i9000 in market but nothing for i9003 since it is thicker.....(i tried in vain for 2 days.....:-(.....)
You get all the above mentioned things for 4-5 k extra.....and I think that's worth ( I repent now:-(.......)
Remember this applies only for those who are phone freaks and not a normal user..
And for those who have a tight budget of 20k stop thinking and get this phone(samsung galaxy sl I 9003) before the stock runs out....
Bingo :-)
