My 1st Samsung phone. After 5 days, here is my impression.
Pros:
- Connects to my old Motorola ROKRZ6 S9 Bluetooth stereo headset (VERY BIG +++ for me).
- Capacitative screen, obviously works better than my sis' Nokia 5800xm.
- 7.2 HSDPA, very fast inet connection.
- Great quality speaker audio due to Samsung DNSe technology, quite on par with my ROKR Z6 and E8 (I have 2 Moto ROKRs).
- Excellent screen.
- Good call quality.
- Document viewer.
- Body plastics looks quite good and classy *but a fingerprint magnet).
So-so:
- Call quality is good, but not as good as Motorolas with CrystalTalk.
- Using my S9 headset sounds more on the treble sound, needs a bit more bass but audio is louder than my ROKR and the sound quality is as clear.
- Needs more WIDGETS! (Samsung app store... I pray for you guys to answer this!)
- Would be nice if it had Wifi.
Cons:
- No QWERTY.
- Cannot use 2ndary camera aside from video calls.
- Does not have separate 3.5mm audio jack, but still okay since Samsung provided an adapter.
Personal score:
Design: 9 (Looks very classy for a mid-end phone, really puts iPhone to shame)
Features: 8 (Very very good performance and Samsung's appstore holds a promise)
Performance: 8.5 (Just a bit laggy at times but overall performance for the price range is way more than what is expected)
I am pretty much very happy with it.

I recently purchased the handset in Kolkata. This phone has no GPS feature in India. I got it for Rs. 12,000 from Planet M with 2 years warranty on the handset. Stylus is not provided with this model. So Samsung tried to make the touch screen feature like Apple's iPhone. I like the sound of the phone from the speakers, good voice clarity during calls. 3G compatibility available. The only thing it lacks for me is WLan. But all in all it is good value for the price I paid for.
