GOOD:Thin and pocketable, classy design, best screen on a phone till date, plays HD videos along with DivX/Xvid directly, powerful hardware ensures smooth operation of Android 2.1, thoughtful UI customizations
BAD:No camera LED flash, GPRS connectivity issue, no camera shutter button, average battery life on heavy use
VERDICT:This multimedia capable smartphone packs a punch but is priced much higher than its able sibling Samsung Wave

any news of when the froyo update will be available for the galaxy s in india?

update upto Gingerbread 2.3.3 is available with Kies

Using it for the last six months. Agrees to the good parts mentioned. Disagrees with the battery life. I am carrying a seperate battery of 3500mAh(AMZER) while on the move . This is a certain inconvenience. The gadget could have been 2 or 3 mm thicker to have bigger capacity battery.

hey is galaxy i9000 still available in india????? if it is not available should i go for HTC Desire can u reply quickly as i want to buy a phone next week...
, Delhi, on Mar 16, 2011 09:22 PM
It was off the shelves for a while recently...but it seems to be back in stores now. So you can definitely buy it from a store or probably online...but I would wait for its succesor...The Galaxy S 2,...which is about to be launched in less than a month. It all depends on ur patience/urgency, though. :)

pls advice between Nokia N 8 or Samsung galaxy s
, Mumbai, on Mar 14, 2011 03:45 PM
Are you kidding???Galaxy S, way more customizable than the N8. It can take on the I phone at the price its available at, u be the judge who will win among the too. If you want my vote, Galaxy S it is.
, Pune, on Nov 23, 2010 04:44 PM
Amit, Decide your priority and you will get answer. Camera:N8 has 12 MP camera if you like to click photos all time while SGS has 5MP camera. OS: Andorid OS v/s S3 ( seems to be old) Document Editor is present in SGS if u need to edit docs and send. SGS has Super AMOLED screen which u need to compare urself along with N8. Hope this helps you to take decesion coz the phone will be yours and you will be using it not me ;)

seeing the price the phone is good, but a little more could be done with the camera features, a bit disappointed ,other wise the phone is good... phone coming wit at least 8 meg pixel will look smart and fun to use and attract customers

Hello! Friends, I just bought my new Samsung I 9000 with amyoled andriod 2.1 OS, running fabuous. it is the fastest touch phone interface compared to Iphone. Got a 5 megapix cam, excellent enough for a very high quality photos HD Video Display WIFI GPS 3G all works excellent even the touchpad keyboard is well designed. The speaker is excellent with 5.1 suuround sound using headphone The appearnce is same like Apple but a bit increase in the lenght and breadth. Its slimmer than any phone in the world. The battery life is excellent like it goes for 3-4 days with full utilisation of phone, multimedia, web browsing, GPS, and playing sames thats what lovlely. The price to is fine RS. 29500/- Mumbai
