Good: 2 camera's, Samsung, speed, looks good
Bad: it sometimes freezes, battery life
Comment: This phone is great, so what if it is a iphone wannabe, iphones are great and this phone does a good job of bringing friendly competition to the iphone, the phone does everything i would like a phone to do which includes call, text, play high quality games and take pictures. oh, and the HD video recording is a bonus for me.
The only downside is that it freezes sometimes and the battery life is AWFUL.

Good: . You get a standard
Comment: Do you need the galaxy s wi fi 5.0 as an additional remote, to enhance your experience with the samsung PS64D8000 Plasma TV. You get a standard remote with the TV, I am told that this is a worthwhile addition for the smart area of the TV. Any advice, I would be grateful.
Many thanks.

Good: Super AMOLED Screen, Flash Support unlike the iPhone, Fast 1 Ghz processor, Free Apps, IPhone Killer, Great Build Quality
Bad: Battery Life, Rubbish Widgets, Finger Prints
Comment: I just switched from a blackberry bold on orange to the samsung galaxy on the 3 network 2 weeks ago. After using this phone I will never go back to using a blackberry android is more advanced, has more apps available and has more potential. The only problem that might put you off is that the phone's battery life which is due to the great features like the super AMOLED screen. I have to charge my phone every day which is a pain but is worth it for this amazing phone. Two minor problems are that the phone case and screen attracts fingerprints which can be sorted easily. The other minor problem is the widgets preloaded are rubbish don't bother with them just go on to the android app store and download some decent widgets.

Comment: I have had this phone for 3 days and i love it! I've had the iPhone 3GS and was going to upgrade to the iPhone 4 but thought i would go for something different so i chose the Samsung Galaxy S and have not regretted it. It has an amazing bright screen, your own wi-fi so you can connect your laptop to the phone to get an internet connection, it's super fast and has got 8GB but you can also add a memory card! However as everyone moans about the battery it will only go down superfast if you are constantly on games or apps with wi-fi on, if you are not on the internet all the time or apps and you are just making calls and texting the battery will last all day with loads of battery time remaining also i feel that the iPhone is louder when you have your headphones in and i feel the app store is better than the android market but other than this its a great phone and would deffinately recommend this phone to anyone! :D

Good: Loads of free apps, wi-fi, mobile tracker, camera
Bad: Battery life and fingerprints of screen
Comment: I love this phone. My husband had an iPhone and even he said in some respects that it was better (he just loved his phone), however, he has now said he would look into getting this phone. The app store has alot more apps for free than iPhones. I love everything about this phone and I find it so easy to use. The camera is so good I have stopped using my digital camera as its just another thing to carry thats not needed. The battery life isn't great but if you keep an eye on it, you should be fine.
I highly recommend this phone to anyone wanting a touchscreen smartphone without being stuck with itunes.
The last thing I want to say about this phone, which I think is a must on mobiles, is the mobile tracker installed. My husband left his phone in a taxi and we never got it back, although the phone was shut down, the person still has all our photos, videos and contacts. With this tracker, I can find out where my phone is (roughly) and if needed I can erase the whole phone so they don't get my personal bits.
Best phone I've ever used
