i own this phone for the past 3 years.. it was terrible with 2.1. felt it lacked in everything and another dumbphone. but something made me keep using it.. samsung never bothered about this phone.what a pity. this little fellow can handle 2.3.7 like a champ. and whats even better, thanks to a developer called pyske83(he is a god among androidians :) ) he has successfully ported ice cream sandwich, (google's greatest os yet) on this beauty.. and it can seriously perform brilliantly. i am amazed with the speed and the ability to handle tough apps without a trouble. this phone actually shows that it is a force to be reckoned with.. the latest update.. as of 27th may 2012, camera, and tethering is not yet working.. but other than that this is a champ.. it can go on for another couple of years!! now that it has ics...

First off: Don't get your hopes up.
The phone has one of the slowest CPUs out there today. It's got an awful camera with a poor lens. The wifi connectivity is poor (and by "poor", I mean it's maybe 10-20ft (3-8m) in a straight line with no walls in the way. Maybe 10ft through a thin plasterboard wall.
GPS is also poor.
3G however is very good. The screen is pretty good - especially for the price. It won't hold a candle to the screen on a Galaxy S2, but for the price, you don't expect it to.
The internal memory is tiny and will barely hold the OS and updates, so a micro-SD is necessary, and you suffer from all of the inherent slowdowns of using one.
The screen is also very small compared to many other phones out there.
... Having said all of that, it's the cheapest phone around and is still very usable for nearly everything you'll want it to. It cannot run Flash, and has problems with many more intensive games (etc), but will watch YouTube (html5) just fine.
Value for money, at about £50 for an unlocked handset, with or without a SIM is spectacular. It's comparable to many phones you find for £70-90, and some of the contract deals are brilliant.
Just don't expect to connect to wifi to save yourself more money unless you can see the router while you're surfing.
(Once again I'll say - 3G is very good)
