        No I did not get any TV out cable with the phone. Regarding battery, it is very good, I changed the setting to GSM only mode, wifi off when not in use, and killed all the unwanted tasks. I charged it yesterday night, today even after browsing extensively on wifi and talking for about an hour from morning, it is showing as 73%

          tested the battery.
          Wifi on,gps on,mobile AP on and used it to download a movie through my laptop, you tube running a full length movie, full brightness,25 background services, blue tooth on.

          Battery life-----> 82 min

            My friend's SL gives him around 1.5 days with heavy usage. I didn't check his GPS though... if GPS fix takes 30 minutes thats really a problem!

              What kind of usage you have as the battery lasts only 6 hours.
              So it means GPS still remains a problem in galaxy

                Hi guys.got this phone on 3rd march for 19.5 k through flip kart.excellent phone.
                Advantages are:
                1.super clear lcd(really good and ln my opinion it's better than samoled)
                2.android 2.2, flash 10.1 can play hd vids 720p and record too
                3.gorilla glass (i personally confirmed)
                4.tv out(again personally confirmed)
                5.good processor
                6.mobile AP.that's really cool to make your phone a wifi hot spot.
                7.swype is cool too:-)and superb touch screen
                But after using it for 5 days I found some issues
                they are:
                1.no led flash(but still good picture quality)
                2.contacts are jumbled and if rearrange and sync with your account it again gets jumbled as the name in the respective account.it is really annoying
                3.if you store two phone numbers to a contact you can't set a default number for messaging.and if you add say 15 contacts with two numbers in a group, then every time you send a message to that group then you have to select each number manually.again annoying.
                4.gps fix takes time (30 min).but if you use gps fix application it gets locked within 3 min.
                5.cannot play songs online.have to either download or install a third party application
                6.poor volume output through loud speaker and volume drops too when connected to external loud speaker.
                7.battery lasts for only 6 hours of continuous usage (power usage)
                8.just 4gb of memory.now that's really poor.(should have been at least 8 gb.
                9.i don't know what samsung apps is for.please help me.when ever I open that it just shows as no new updates.
                10.no stock games.i expected some cool games.but:-(
                11.some times I find irritated that too many options popping out here and there.
                12.in gmail you can just attach photos.if you wanna attach something the option just leads to the gallery.

                please correct me if I'm wrong.thank you.

                Bingo:-)

                    and one more thing, the screen is far better than my friend's HTC Desire HD, not sure about galaxy S amoled, but can vouch for the fact that it is better than the N8 amoled which I checked out at the shop I bought

Camera has 4x digital zoom. Phone overall is fast and snappy, not experienced any lags whatsoever until now. Music quality via headphone is great, speakers are not so loud, even lesser than my N82.

                                    @abhi verma,
                                    SL processor speed is same as S. the official indian samsung web site does not mention tv-out, gorilla glass and 4x zoom.
                                    the below web site mentions that zoom is only 1x.
                                    http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2707&c=samsung_gt-i9003

                                    my point was only that for rs.4k more, S is much better option than SL.
