I had this phone for 6 days. Andriod is great, but unfortunately the phone didn’t like the service in my area. Often the only way to get reception was to power donw, remove the battery and sim, put them back in, and power up. After a minute lon boot I would have perfect reception again… for a random amount of time.

I also found that while I was surfing using Wi-Fi the phone switched back to 3g, even though the wireless router was within 15 feet of me and others were surfing on their laptops and even on an iPhone.

I would still have this phone, but with the connectivity problems I had I had to return it… it is still a phone for me and if it doesn’t send or receive calls at random times then it is useless.

I’m with Bell and just picked up the Galaxy yesterday. Overall it is a neat phone, better than my blackberry 8830 but its lack of Exchange connectivity is really a pisser. I am sure that a 2.0 upgrade will be made available soon whether it’s from samsung or from a 3rd party source. Either way, it will fill in the gap until I can get my hands on a Motorola Milestone from Brazil.

So they’re NOW selling an already old and abandoned phone? Right… Well done Bell.

Can’t believe people are already complaining about the firmware version. Sigh…..

Someone will probably come out with a 3rd party image soon enough so you can play.

Samsung please go back to your winMo or Symbian phones or your new Bada crap. Leave the Android to other companies who get the software right…

…and running an already-obsolete Android 1.5. No plans to upgrade to 1.6, 2.0 or 2.1 given by Samsung. From a current Galaxy owner: find a different manufacturer.
