Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm using this phone for almost 6 months now, and I absolutely adore it. It's sleek, fast and packs more features and functionality than a swiss-army knife; 8MP Camera, 720P video recording (world's first ever), AMOLED 3.7 capacitive screen and 16GB of internal memory.
The hardware powering this phone is nothing short of phenomenal...it plays 720P HD content like butter, and the touch response rivals the iPhone 3GS. In fact, I even ran Quake III on this phone...yes, I'm referring to the 3D PC FPS game released by id Software back in 1999 (You need a full version of the game, a few apps and some research to do this)!
So you might ask, why does it get a 4 instead of a 5 from me? Unfortunately, as much as I love this phone I cannot ignore the shoddy support from Samsung. Firmware updates for this phone are not even released for most regions yet(the launch firmware is seriously outdated, lacks many features and bugfixes), and Samsung has done little to address buyers concerns thus far. I even went as far as to flash a different region firmware onto my phone, just to get the new fixes/features.
A big update is currently in the works, to be released by Feb 2010, aimed at addressing the complaints of disgruntled fans...but it is a bit too late now/people have already moved on to other, newer phones.
If only this phone had better support, it would have been a true winner; it's truly a pity that Samsung failed to realize the potential of this wonder device.
