    I love this phone; currently using it in the U.S. with AT&T. Got it in Hong Kong for HK$3549 (~USD$457). All functions are excellent, especially love the Mobile AP feature; I can turn the phone into a wireless access point anytime free of charge for my laptop, if needs to. You may also turn the data function off to conserve battery if don't need to feed data. Tested download speed in San Fran and got up to 3.2Mbps (avg about ~2.5Mbps); this could be the bandwidth limit by AT&T since there are so many Smartphone users out there. Screen is super clear like stated even though it's not AMOLED. It's slightly easier on your eyes comparing to the i9001 S Plus, I think. Also customized with App so I can download anything directly to the phone. Camera and Video takes excellent photo and vids.

    If you want a much better phone and willing to pay more? I would suggest the Galaxy i9100 S II; otherwise this is a great phone packed with great features.

    Cons:
    no flash for photo shooting
    no 850 band for 3G/HSPDA (why???)
    hard to find protective case, too new?
    why not just put 512MB instead of 478MB (??)

                  It has fantastic screen. browses with breeze,camera is good under bright light,call quality is good,plenty of applications (its real fun).I got it for RS.18,625.at Ebay india. I would recommend people to buy.

                  Cons- poor battery life ,lasts one day with moderate heavy usage.Has no camera flash.

                              The battery doesn't last more than 2days reaches 15% and asks to charge the battery the third day morning..

                              I tried with no games/no gprs/no WiFi/no Bluetooth/no much screen operation. Single home screen/low brightness/frequent clearing of RAM with task manager i see apps getting closed when clearing up the memory even when gprs is disabled.

                              Used for about 3hrs of calls & few SMS , 3~4 hrs of radio & music play.

                              i9003 is good in battery when used as a normal phone but battery sucks when used as smartphone.
