You cant check balance/use roaming call back etc with that phone >.< Another problem is that it does not allow custom keyboards. Using qwerty on small screen phone is quite the nightmare, at least on android u can use custom keyboards with t9 layout/aggresive predictive text or swype. There's simply more choices for the android budget consumer if stock experience is unsatisfactory.

coz there are many functions that any Android phone have, but Lumia don't have.
(ie: multi tasking, USB storage drive, bluetooth ftp, etc.)

now, please go troll somewhere else.
this article is about Samsung, not your lumia.

Lumia 820 (yes, you heard it right, 820) is pretty good, but lacks games and apps. When it gets more games and apps in the near future, it will be great!

So they had to cut costs of production (or God knows what other costs). Downgrading 256 MB ram wasn't something that eye catching like, let's say, lowering the MHz, internal storage capacity or camera's MPs. And of course, I hate Samsung!

Notice for spec noobs:

Specs =/= performance. You would be better of paying for performance instead.

Specs: Android > Lumia
Performance: Lumia > Android

Sad but true.

Strange.
If this can run JB why not just keep the S1 in production - cutting the cost of producing a new device.
Update the original galaxy and keep rolling with that.
Save the extra money on new designs and milk the original for all its worth while keeping the product portfolio simple.
