Beards, 31 May 2010Here's a question which we should be looking at ~ the said 2GB ROM and how 1.8GB is mentioned ... moreHave you ever used an android phone? I am fairly sure you have to install apps to the ROM (although there is a partition for apps and one for the OS). Froyo is the first OS to allow apps to be installed to the sdcard and not the ROM.
I don't know if there is 2gb for OS AND apps or 2gb for OS and 6gb for apps for this this phone.

Yes it has an one plast glass surface because of the new super amoled :) which makes it like 1~1.5 mm thinner than normal amoled screens :) nice phone a little bit expensive though
In Singapore, the price of the phone is very cheap. Just launched last weekend, for a S$82.96 plan (inclusive of sales tax), the phone is just S$28. (US$1 = S$1.4) Go to www.singtelshop.com to see it yourself.
BTW, the plan includes 700 mins of outgoing minutes, free incoming calls, 500 SMS, 12 GB of data.

Who failed?

Anonymous, 31 May 2010The hummingbird CPU used in this phone is simply the WORST!! battery wiseWell I cant say its the worse for battery since it performs FASTER than the 1Ghz Snapdragon while using lower power due to it being in 45nm.
Here's a question which we should be looking at ~ the said 2GB ROM and how 1.8GB is mentioned to be left over for users to store Applications.
This is ROM.. Read Only Memory!
ROM is used to store the initial program that runs when the phone is powered on or otherwise begins execution (a process known as bootstrapping).
All computer related hardware requires some form of mutable memory to record changes in its state as it executes. However, it can not be modified easily and once the Operating System files and other stored data is shipped on the ROM it's only other use is for distributing firmware changes.
Therefore, how is it people are talking of being able to access the 1.8GB of ROM on the Galaxy S i9000 and use it to store applications?
ROM and writing applications to it just don't go together hand in hand.

I work for a mobile company Samsung demo'd this phone and the Samsung Wave both quit similar and very good, im waiting for the samsung galaxy s to be released although the wave has hit the shelves i think they both have the same 5mp HD cam, not sure though but if it is the same you can get a good idea on the quality on youtube.

Anonymous, 28 May 2010A LOT of people FAIL to realize that 99.999% of the Galaxy S buyers DONT care about the camera.simply don't bother to put a camera there then.
what's for?
waste energy?
putting camera there. no flash? --> total failure!
Btw Im wondering about the screen surface on the Galaxy S, is it glass as in glass that cant be scratched by a keys/razor ?
[deleted post]A LOT of people FAIL to realize that 99.999% of the Galaxy S buyers DONT care about the camera.
just wondering is there any way to get the app for video off this phone and use it on athor android phone ? like the desire.by the way crazy johns will start selling it in australia in june !!!!!!!
Anonymous, 27 May 2010And if you think that buying a new phone is the proper solution, I am Loling at you.I'm not saying buying a new phone is proper solution, accept N97 was failure. But world not stopped by this. Do you know more than 50% of N97 users are happy with it. But I feel pity for rest. Thats why Nokia is giving N8 to such a low price. Nokia rules again.
