I Love this phone but....

Im so happy with this phone, amazing screen, size, weight....
But there are some essential fixes to correct.
First we need a software upgrade to Android 2.3
The GPS needs an urgent fix, mines not working
The phone ramdomly shutts down (Thats why we need the software update) so I need to use a Third-Party app to mantain alive.
Android Mail app it{s very buggy, don´t work as it should
Samsung needs to release an extended battery.
This seems terrible but actually I love the phone. I think it just need a software and firmware update.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: software
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not satisfied
on January 13, 2011
Posted by: Morpheus
I love this phone except for a few things.Customizing is very limited, menus are apparently hidden & Android 2.3 Gingerbread was recently released to AOSP, yet we still have not even received Android 2.2 Froyo for this Product. It is actually very disappointing. Also disappointing is the price that is charged without a contract. Maybe with updated system software and allowing the owners of the products more options for customization and not hiding menus, I would then consider referring this product to a friend.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best phone I ever owned

this is my 5th cell phone, and 2nd smart phone. It is the best all around device on the market now. The only missing piece would be the upcoming 4G connections.
The best feature though of the several hundred that this phone offers, is the simple fact that is works great as a phone! most smart phones I checked out did lots of cool things but the actual phone reception was horrible. Samsung got this right!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, reliable
Cons: none found yet
I would recommend this to a friend!
