Tut-tut, 28 Dec 2011"Value Pack" is a sort of supermarket teaser that means essentially nothing. It's... moreor another way of saying that you've brought our $hit phone sorry but no decent update and stick the phone up your a$$e$ if i'm correct

->XDA developers made ICS ROMs for both GS1 and X10
->Both of the... moreSuch a Cheap Excuse to support a brand !!
Really ? What about......
1.Galaxy S+ (laugh very hard now)
2.Galaxy Ace
3.Galaxy W
4.Galaxy Y
Rofl just useless phones.
Why should i get ICS from xda if my warranty will be voided ?
All phones i said released in 2011 almost.
"Sammy ,at least, considers to update their GS1 or giving away a value pack(rumor)."
And what ? Sooo lame excuse to support ur Brand? Even Galaxy s2 is behind iPhone 4 in benchmarks.
I really wonder how much Galaxy S will be improved....
Atleast can it reach 3GS performance ?

Look at javascript.
I barely see that galaxy S can outperform 3GS in graphics too apart from javascript.
Is Samsung too ignorant to give updates ? atleast sony admitted its a hard process but still they give update atleast for may.
Yes samsung phones have good hardware but not software .
So waste of hardware without optimized software since 3GS and iPhone 4 runs on chip made by samsung too.
LOLMASTER, 29 Dec 2011Just my two cents, but in my store i have two dozen smartphones on display, samsung, htc, moto... moreI really, really don't have an idea of what you're talking about...
I have three SE phones(Satio, K900 and Xperia Arc) The arc has been with me since May, no problems at all...Same thing with the K900. Satio is a little buggy, perhaps because it uses Symbian. But apart from that, everyone I know with an SE 2011 phone is pleased

Do you really think any REAL nokia fan would call themselves Nokia Fanboy PRO... i would be ashamed if i ACTUALLY owned a nokia phone. NOONE actually admist to being a fanboy

... moreJust my two cents, but in my store i have two dozen smartphones on display, samsung, htc, motorola, nokia, sony ericson, and iphone. Of all the phones that i have put on display over the past two years, i have had only three fail. The Sony Ericcson Experia Play, Neo and Arc S. All three stopped working after about 4-6 months of being on display. Even my old wildfire is still going strong after the abuse of being a demo phone.
Ive never played around with any of the other models because my store doesnt carry them, however i have learned that S/E phones are not built to last. Its a shame, as they are good looking phones, but i would rather have a phone that works for longer than 6 months, regardless of how many updates it gets.
If the choice is between longevity and up-to-date firmware i choose longevity. You'll probably beg to differ but sorry mate, thats my opinion and experience
Honestly forget SE. Need to jump on the RAZR! its unbelievable!!!!!

3-Get your facts right before posting
4-If you see X10 running ICS you'll notice it's so slow because IT IS OUTDATED AND CANNOT RUN ICS PROPERLY. X10 bloody lagged when it ran 2.1 Eclair, you don't want it to lag when it runs ICS?
And yes, SE is better than Samsung at the moment. For all the people saying "Omg how can Active, Mini and Walkman run ICS" Have you ever thought that phones with the same sizes and maybe even perhaps processors are going to run ICS when they are released next year? Phones like small xperias and HTC Wildfire are going to have successors because not everyone wants to buy a high end android to receive the latest update.
And for people who are saying "Hahaha go buy a SE at the end they won't upgrade their phones to Android 5.0" Well just for your information, getting upgraded to 4.0 is better than buying a brand new device that won't receive a single update(Most of Samsung's, HTC's, Motorla's and LG's phones)And...do you think the legendary Google Nexus S is going to receive a 5.0 update? I guess not, and it's an original Google device so don't complain about it :) Will Galaxy S2 get Android 5.0? I doubt it, as you can see here, Galaxy S is capable of running Android 4.0 but they won't upgrade it because they want to gain money...
Thing with SE is, you feel safe even if your device isn't high end...they continue to support it and that's why I choose a company like SE. Companies like Samsung just dump their old and cheap phones without a reason.
AnonD-36013, 29 Dec 2011You nokia fans just cannot take the truth. Nokia's death time is 2016.LOL
You nokia fans just cannot take the truth. Nokia's death time is 2016.
[deleted post]Yeah, well of the hundreds of contracts I have signed people up on in the past year, i could count on one hand the amount of people that have asked for a nokia phone over a samsung or any other mid range android device.
Open your eyes bud, nokia's high end phones just don't cut it in todays market. Haven't you read the "Burning Platform" article posted last month.
LOL
I am beginning to think that you are being sarcastic, because I didn't think anyone could be that misguided.
I will agree, if i want to spend $30 on a phone, i'll buy a nokia... but i want to spend more than $200 then i buy a samsung or htc. samsungs cheap phones are terrible, and nokias expensive phones arent worth the money.
I don't see Sony Ericsson updating their forgotten X10 to Ice Cream Sandwich. I hope you all enjoy your mini and stuff like that because ICS will be the last thing they will see.
I will laugh at all of you people who decided to go SE because you guys are too lazy to download a rom. Basically not using your phones full potentials. I will laugh when SE does not update their current line to the update after Ice Cream Sandwich because their whole line uses single cores. I have seats for you all reserved beside my Samsung Galaxy S in hell.
Talking about other platforms are useless here. Don't talk about Symbian. They already have a death sentence of 2016. They don't even have a dedicated tumblr app which means its basically useless. I like their hardware but their phones lag.
You guys are lazy people. It's not hard to flash your the ICS rom onto the phone. Just YouTube it. I don't hear Sony Ericsson updating their x10 to ice cream sandwich. I hope you all regret when sony Ericsson doesn't update their current line to the update after ICS because none of them have a dual core. I'm sure most of your warranty are already over anyways
This_is_Lame!, 29 Dec 2011I think it's understandable that the Galaxy S won't be getting the ICS upgrade cuz it's an agi... moregalaxy W has identical specs to S. 1Ghz or 1.4Ghz doesn't make much difference. They cant fit touchwiz and ICS into it because of lack of space in the ROM/RAM.
If you want ICS, use CM9
When the hell will we get a update with improved battery usage? (in Finland, lastest update: 2.3.3, and battery usage changes like voltage of lighting bolts: once it lasts one and a half day, once it takes 8 percentage of battery during 15secs.) This way I won't buy anymore Samsungs (Okey, I wanted Nokia, got this as gift, but still, I was changing my mind about Samsung. Not Anymore.)
I think it's understandable that the Galaxy S won't be getting the ICS upgrade cuz it's an aging phone already. What I don't understand is why the other latest smartphones aren't getting ICS too like Galaxy W and SL. These phones are capable to run ICS with their specs, i'm sure, so why samsung, why?!? Maybe it's either they're doing this to push people to buy their high end phones instead, or just too darn lazy to go through all the process of upgrading. Well guess what samsung, F*c* you! I'm not gonna touch a Samsung smartphone ever again. I sold my Wave last month and was planning to buy Galaxy W this weekend, but i'm going for xperia arc S instead. More power to you lazy bums and shove your ICS-less phones down your throat, Samsung. Good day.
@Samsung, how about a performance upgrade where you keep touchwiz and your upgraded apps to yourself and you give us a stock Android ICS update made for Galaxy S.

Don't make me laugh I bet u theres only like 30apps in ur ovi store... Nokia when will u learn that ur losing profit because u don't have enough apps? Samsung at least u care about customers to give us value pack... Ics is not compatible with touch wiz on i9000 is that company's fault??? Well I love Samsung !!! Samsung forever!!!
