I bought this phone before 4 days and I notice until now these problems:
First and more important the internal memory of 150MB. They play with our IQ. I thought that if I buy external memory chip (which I bought 8GB), I have solve the problem. This doesn’t happen because when I install an application (any application), some MB of this application takes space at internal memory and you cannot do anything to avoid this. The result is after you have installed few applications the phone slow down and stack all the time.
Second the battery life is too sort.

what a great phone i don't know what the probs other peeps are having but me personally no probs at all 2 and a half days use before i need to charge what i did when i bought it was to charge and even though it said full unplug then charge again this gets a great boost to your battery and you will be surprised at the response. this is my first real android or smart phone as it was a gift for my 50th birthday and i feel that i am very lucky to have such a great and fantasticly responsive fone fotos great 5.1 surround sound great on my sennheiser phones beautiful inbuilt radio basically i am learning something new everyday all i can say is if this fone disappoints you you need a netbook not a phone lol, i also love star gazing the app goggle star map respond awsomly,, if you want a smart phone in the middle to high price range try it gorilla glass puts your mind at ease for scratches to truely i cannot fault it well not yet anyway

My phone will connect to the factory bluetooth in the car - but no one can hear me...telstra said the phone is okay - maybe not compatible with the one in the car. Surely, a new car and a new phone would be compatible...must be a way to fix this!!

Not a bad phone. Reception is sometimes a bit ordinary from a main provider (Telstra), and sometimes the phone switches itself off. i like the size and the battery lasts about 24 hrs with light use. I have not had any major issues with it, perfect phone, Nn, but defintly not a bad one.

Anonymous, 26 May 2012This phone is terrible, restarts all the time, reception is... moreNice to read someone has just about exactly same thoughts as I do. Internal memory of 150 MB is just ridiculous when a some software update (like facebook) takes some 80 MB. I had to load the battery every night even though I never keep wifi, bluetooth etc on unless I need them (like an hour or 2 a day or so).
But I dont want to be overly complaining. There was a lot of good in that phone, too. Very fairly priced (I paid 180 €), you can use almost all applications (no flash support :( ) and for me it worked without lag or anything, not slippery so it stays in hand, and the fact that it can withstand dropping (to some degree and ofcourse you can get unlucky) and water is a great feature. :)

No sign of any damage until next day. Screen had 3 big cracks through it. Really disappointed as I am a builder and reckoned it would suit me. Then Samsung started being difficult. Is it really so hard to listen to what is being said? Really frustrated!
