          This phones SAR is 1.62 W/KG which is more than the recommend FCC range of 1.6 W/KG. Please note if the SAR is greater, then the phone emits more radiation and hence a greater health risk.

            its over 2 weeks now since i m using the phone.

            . SAD that today i see dead pixel on my screen, don't know if thats covered under warranty.
            . A-GPS to fast
            . GPS bit slow, need really clear top view to get satellite ack.

            Battery Life.
            . OK OK
            . NO FOR HEAVY USERs, buy a spare battery, the phone worst is that it takes 4 to 5 hours to charge completely.

            GOOD PART :-
            Awesome display
            GOOD for reading books
            FAST
            Superb design brown is better than black midnight model.

              For everyone complaining about the battery life:

              With heavy usage i get :18-19hours
              messaging:60-70
              Music:4-6hours
              video:40min
              phone: 3-4hours
              skype,yahoo,whatapp,gmail,facebook and few more apps all running in background.

              (NOTE: gps and maps can greatly reduce ur battery)

              with normal usage : 25 hours


              Tips: for extended battery, dont use maps and gps unless required
              Keep on checking for running processes and do clear ram.
              Reduce the number of homescreens(i have launcher pro with 5 home screens and 3d effects)
              Full charge the mobile until it shows completly charged for 2-3 cycles in a month.

                        [deleted post]Agree in few points.. NOT Agree in all;
                        this phone is a great device in this price range.
                        Audio:- though built-in speaker is very bad. But you have to check it out with a decent headphones.. its awesome!!! The default player has virtual surround 5.1 support. turn that on guys... and feel the difference. I am using a creative headphones. the audio is amazing!

                          Sushil, 18 Apr 2011Dear KK, Thanks a lot for youe prompt reply. I shall try... moreSushil,
                          Don't worry. You have to activate the vodafone gprs to access market. NOT Vodafone live. Both are same data plan/ tariff. In fact I am on Vodafone, took 6GB plan for 127/- but its hardly 1GB after 10days usage. Mail/ google talk/ skype/ facebook/ and even downloaded few apps.

                          First you activate Vodafone gprs (I think you have to sent SMS "ACT USB" to 111 OR "ACT MY DATA" to 111. OR "ACT VMC" to 144 OR call customer care): then

                          Go to Settings> Wireless and network> Mobile network> Access point names> select Vodafone_gprs. (you can see the Vodafone live is also there but don't choose that) Thats it!

                          OR; You can simply walk in to a vodafone store, they will help you to sort it out in few min.

                          Happy Browsing! By the way - Great phone!!!

                            VERY VERY BAD MOBILE FOR MUSIC

                            Dont buy it . Its like ordinary china mobile in music
                            No stereo cross talk its worst i ever saw in music.
                            Not much sound in video player in earphones and in loud speaker performance is poor.
                            Its getting heat quickly
                            Battery backup is not impressive .

                            THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON, THIS SITE DIDN'T PUBLISH AUDIO TEST DETAILS TO HELP SAMSUNG

                            I WASTED 19.3K INR

                                      Hi All, I bought Galaxy SL i9003 one month back.
                                      Recently I have been facing one problem. The phone switches off automatically even if the battery charging is full.
                                      So far the phone switched off automatically 3 times when the phone was idle and battery was almost full.
                                      Has anyone faced this problem? or Has anyone know the solution for this problem? Please reply.
