WooHOo!!! finally got My GALAXY S...after a month of waitin! right now, totally amazed and in awe of the swype input!!!
[deleted post]I am not commenting on your other points. But let me assure you that I switch on my phone's flash 90% of the times to click a photo. And if you have an N8 which has a digital cam quality xenon flash, let me assure that number would go to 100%. If you can't appreciate a feature, doesn't mean it's not worth it!

As you say you transfer videos on your fast 3.0 bluetooth. Does your laptop even have bluetooth 3.0? If not, then the fast 3.0 gets changed to normal bluetooth 2.1 or 2.0.

The screen and video clarity is amazing. I download YouTubes send them to phone via bluetooth 3.0 FAST.
My boss has iphone4 and he as stunned at the clarity of the screen on SGS. and the screen is 4.0 inches
The camera I don't use much but is adequate.
The speaker could be better. The best Samsung was the i8510 with dual speakers. awesome sound.
but what I do with SGS is use Jabra 620 bluetooth headseat and the sound is awesome.
I love Android after havign a WinMo Omnia (slow) and before that a Symbian. phone.
What is good is Android keeps getting better and better.
You don't even have to wait for Samsung, Just go to XDA forum.

Also, the loudness of the speaker is pretty decent (at least better than my n-72..When I bought the phone, I even dint know how android works but just after a month, I find it better than any other os..
Varun, 10 Dec 2010Thanks for the info. I didn't know SGS had a task manager, as I told you my info is completely... moreHi Varun
I own SGS for a month now. Have used it on both eclair and froyo platform. Have compared it with several phones available in India. I can tell you that the only problem with this phone is lagging which has been improved with froyo and will probably be done away with gingerbread (or more customized froyo).
As far as multimedia goes, the phone is awesome. I dont know how good N-8's camera is, but I can tell you everyone around me was stunned with the quality of SGS camera. The camera delivers excellent performance both in low light conditions and bright sunlight (tested myself). Of course, watching videos is where SGS beats every single phone. Music quality is awesome(compared to I-touch 3g)
If you talk about looks, let me tell you very clearly N8 looks like crap when compared to SGS. Plastic or not, the front view of this phone is mind- blowing, only the back portion looks bit bad but still better than N8. I dont know if you have seen both these handsets or not, but this is what I felt.
And as for gaming, again this phone beats every single phone (other than I phone)
I personally dont find any uses of the 'superior functions' that N8 possess and so would advice you to go for this phone.
In case of any calrifications mail me at masterofuniverse.ayush@gmail.com
Updated to Froyo. Run z4root and OCLF for the lag fix issue. Now the mobile is really fast and very less lag. I think it is the best phone in market today.
Hi every body
is there any safety way to root and lag fixed?
my SGS currently running I9000XXJPP baseband and build number is FROYO.XXJPO , Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Thanks..
Ps. I'm running froyo now..but lag than before..
I had synced fb and gmail before(contacts and calendar)..........i removed the contacts and calendar from being synced bt still wen i try 2 send group msg(20 msg at a time) it shows all the names(from both fb and gmail)......how can i stop it from being shown...........also disabled from contacts(unticked view contact from fb)..........any have a solution????
Goku, 09 Dec 2010I'm generally not a guy who posts on forums, but I couldn't bare this, so I'm shouting out her... moreThat's what i thought so that the "swype input mode in my set stops working' after it's upgraded to Froyo. Not really so because your setting will go to its original setting after being upgraded to Froyo and all you have to do is go and reset it. My set works much better after being upgraded to Froyo.

As far as sound quality goes, there are 2 aspects -
1) real quality - distortion, SNR, etc. etc.
2) loudness
I'm talking about both perspectives.
When Bose sells its products, it does not tell you any specs. No impedance, SNR, frequency range etc. etc.
Why?
Because, numbers are just numbers.
It's about what one hears. For e.g. lots of people say Sennheiser is better than Sony. Maybe, but if you listen to music from low range headsets of both companies, if you know music well, you'll definitely observe that Sennheiser has noticeably distortion. And it irritates, especially when you want to listen to soothing music.
Sorry, to take the whole conversation on the wrong track, but my point is
"I believe in what I hear", I don't care about the benchmarks especially when it comes to music.
And guys, pls suggest why I should buy SGS, not why I shouldn't buy N8. Because, as I said, I want to be convinced about what I buy! (not about what I don't)
addie, 10 Dec 2010it's one of the great phone n i'll buy it if its upgradeable.. to Android 2.3 Gngbrd. Pls !!! ... moreYay...I agree wif u!
I'm having a I9000 currently. If I get upgrade it to 2.3 Gingerbread ... My next phone will definately be a "Samsung"! Then only it is considered a reliable phone manufacturer!
