galaxy, 08 Sep 2010Well if you take pictures in the dark why did you buy the galaxy and even the desire led flash... moreFor god sake, TC is obviously not talking about professional shots down here. Having a LED flash is better than not having one. It is more convenient. You can just take casual shots with your friends. I don't think you will carry a bulky camera everywhere you go, right? A simple camera with an LED flash is enough for a dinner with your friends.
I can imagine that if SGS didn't have a camera in the first place, extremist like you will still say "I don't need it, I will bring my camera around. Cameras in phones are pointless."

Or like me use a real camera. I don't need a flash and my galaxy doesn't need froyo it is amazing already.
I think that, if you can, you should wait until Galaxy S has official Froyo update, because I think, hope, most of Galaxy S problems will be fixed with Froyo. If you want to install a lot of, (mostly pointless), apps from Android market then the small built in memory on Desire will be a problem because even with Froyo most apps still can not be installed on the external sd-card. I am still keeping my Galaxy S hoping Froyo will "fix it", but I will probably use Desire as my everyday-phone even if Froyo really fix all problems on Galaxy S.
Froyo will not give it a led-flash so taking pictutes in dark the dark will not be possible even after Froyo-update.
Anonymous, 08 Sep 2010Heya TC,
Thanks a lot for your response! How about the battery backup between the 2? I read... moreDesire had problems with short batterylife, but after the Froyo update this is not a big problem anymore. I have a new Desire with the new slcd-screen ans I have no problems with batterylife, I charge it only 1 time every night, but I am used to Nokias useless batterylife and Desrire has much longer batterylife than any nokia-phone.
Galaxy S is almost weightless so I can not feel it at all when I have it in my pocket, but it is very plastic and I am always afraid that I will damage it if I "bump" in to a table or... Desire is has the same weight as IPhone4 and Nokia N8, and it is no problem to have in my pocket, and I am nit afraid that I could accidently damage it.

Samsung has not finished updating the software to Froyo so they can not send any update to the networks, so the problem is the sliw company Samsung. If I have to use a rubber case to hold Galaxy S, then it will not be better than IPhone4.

Thanks a lot for your response! How about the battery backup between the 2? I read in a few places that the Desire's lasts an entire day with difficulty. Could you let me know if that's true? How's the Galaxy's backup?
Also, is the differences in their weight felt a lot when kept in the pocket?
Thanks again!

Seriously get this phone and spend a while customizing it to your taste I have and now it is truly amazing.
Also kies is poo but if you copy all files on internal SD card and remove external SD then unmount and format internal SD it will connect do what you got to do then just replace the files to the internal SD and put the external card back in it is hassle but kids wasn't made for galaxy just for wave so android plays it up. This doesn't mean the phone is not great though.

Are you kidding? "..the screen is supercalifragilistic compared to the competition.." yeah, right! Buy yourself a TV set, buddy! The design is just a sad copy of an I Phone with misplaced buttons. But that's Samsung... good old Samsung that go for a copy instead of innovating.
Hi all.
I'm thinking of getting me the Samsung I9000s Galaxy, but since reading the last couple of negitive comments. I'm not sure..
Just a few Questions:
1.: Is there a app/program where you can draw a sketch/note
2.: I understand that a stylus doesn't work on this touch screen, so no text recognition...?
3.: How do the rest feel about the calender and email setup/sync and use...?
thanx a million
