I own the phone since a month now. Very disappointed with it. Last weekend, for the first time I worked with the iPhone and then it became clear to me touch-screen phones can actually work. Compared to the iPhone's touch screen, the Armani is veeery slowly reacting and with my Samsung, I sometimes have to hit the screen really hard and still it doesn't react. When I press the button to pick up a call, the phone displays me random screens as if there were a false contact somewhere. Sometimes I touch the screen and a a completely different action is performed because the screen thinks I hit that one. The user interface is by far the worst I have ever experienced. Example: sending an SMS: You have to select the main menu, then the SMS icon, then hit the screen to add a contact, select whether the contact list i.e. last called, or phone book list. When e.g. you select last-called list, you need to hit the button, 'select'. Hitting e.g. the option text itself won't work here but yet on other occasions you can either click the button or the text so there's no consistency here.
What I mean is that before you actually get where you wanna be, you'll need to click and hit the screen waaaay more as compared to e.g. my previous phone which was an old Sony-ericsson k750i.
Sound quality: I must admit that I've suffered from too many decibels meaning my hearing is not as good as new anymore. Yet, with my K750i I had no troubles understanding people. With the Armani Samsung, I can barely understand what some people are saying and when I put on the speaker, they barely hear me! When I speak too soft they request me to speak up. Yet when I do so, they say it sounds distorted. Now I'm a DJ-producer meaning I do know there's not only soft and really loud! ;-)
The scroll-bars in some windows are simply too tiny to touch them. As a result you end up hitting some button which leads you somewhere you don't want to be!!
SMS: With my K750i, when I was typing an SMS and I got interupted by a friend or so, the phone shut down the screen but whenever I got back to it, my SMS was still on the screen. Or when I got a call in between, the K750i put the SMS in concepts. Now in any of these cases, my Samsung just trashes the SMS meaning I can start all over again. The only exception seems to be when I have already put a recipient but then again, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Again, no consistency so I get the impression the software is really shitty.
Something else: Whenever I get an SMS, I get notified with a little envelope at the bottom of the screen. Now despite the fact my scren is NOT locked (checked it over and over again!!) I cannot touch that envelope to open the SMS unless I:
1) Wait approx. half a minute after having received it before touching it
2) Press one of the buttons at the side of the phone e.g. the volume knob or shoot-picture-knob at the right side!!
This is my first Samsung. I got it as a gift from my girlfriend which makes it a bit ennoying of ditching it but she too recognizes the unit sucks beyond any recognition and doesn't mind me selling it to some next poor chump to get something that DOES work. Now, I am open for any brand, any model. But honestly, so far, of all the touch-screen phones I've been buying there really is only one that beats them all by far to my opinion and its the iPhone. Unfortunately Apple uses locked-sims and wants to bind you with 1 provider. Sorry Apple, I love your products, despite that they're also far from perfect but that's not the way it's going down my friends. No one will force me to go with a provider. I choose my own.
ANd so I guess I'll get my old K750i out of the closet until Apple releases unlocked iPhones at a fair price or until a competitor closes the long long gap with Apple without making the same mistake. However, mistake? Apple gained quite some market share so unfortunately some people don't seem to care all that much...

i got this phone since May 2008 and its working great. Just one point though, there is no beep to tell you if you have a message or miss call.
