Samsung Galaxy..

[The Chubby Pirate]

Ordered one over an iPhail for various reasons.

£33 a month for 18 months, unlimited everything, a fairly decent tariff IMO!

Anyone got one? Decent?

 

[bigup7]

pretty good indeed

Very light and the screen is very clear however feels a bit fragile, don't think it will last if it's tossed about so would get a case for it

read a review on it the other day, does sound good, particularly the screen.

A girl I know has one. Broke it after about 24 hours! Apparently they're pretty fragile

I'm trying to decide between the Galaxy and the Desire at the moment. I tried them both out at the CPW and to be fair the Galaxy's screen was immense and it was pretty rapid as well.

The Desire is a nice phone and I'll probably end up choosing this as I was concerned about the Galaxy's build quality and don't think it will last the 24 month contract they all seem to be on.

had one for 2 days as a replacement for my 3gs. battery was awful, kept crashing and felt like a kids toy so I got a real phone - an iPhone 4. Hope you get a money back guarantee with it as they are pants

lol yeh ok mate :rasp:

 

[andywright182]

they are. Would easily recommend the desire over this. Galaxy had the potential to be a good phone but samsungs software is glitchy, the battery is terrible and feels like it was made to a budget of 50p

 

[bigup7]

had mine for a few weeks, updated to latest 2.1 software, all running sweet, no glitches at all

froyo 2.2 is out with flash support need to update to it soon

customisation on this phone is unreal, thats what apple is missing

I've no idea how anyone can break anything Samsung. Everything Samsung I've had/my mates have had have been indestructible, even after getting dropped in 3m deep swimming pools, going through the washing machine, getting covered in paint/thinners/catty dust at my work, they still work spot on.

They are awesome phones but the battery is very poor. Got 3 days to decided if i want to keep mine or not. The screen is amazing too. Not had any glitches or crashing and if i keep it i hope i don't get any. Not sure what is installed but not had any update notifications yet...

Great, phone got delivered this morning, phones locked to another network.

I now have to wait until next week until o2, the incompetent arseholes send me out a replacement.

Pricks.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Is there not an o2 shop near you that you could take it to and swap?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Its a staff tariff (mate discounted it for me) so have to do it through o2 over the phone, f**king tossers.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Gutted. They are complete c-units at the call centre too. Fkin useless!!
Well good luck... I love mine now, some of the apps though are too addictive! Robo defense for one!!

I was in the three shop at Bluewater tonight trying out the Galaxy S again when one of the sales team told me they aren't allowed to sell them at the moment as they are being recalled. I asked him why and he said it was nothing to do with software just that some were randomly dying.

From there I went into CPW and asked if they knew about the recall, the guy said he hadn't heard anything of sort and if there was a recall it was probably just 3 and their dodgy software.

Has anyone else heard anything? I can't figure why the guy in 3 would say it for no reason?
