Good: Screen

Bad: battery life will take a pounding

Comment: Looks great, but not sure if I would want to lug a huge battery guzzling phone around with me all day that needs constantly charging.

Good: Screen + Dual Processor

Comment: I own a Galaxy S and I love it. It is not perfect and I have had to spend time to get it working the way it is now. But in my opinion the hardware can not be bettered. I hope that Samsung make the UI and software side much smoother - they could learn from Apple.

But I will definitely consider this phone I am also intrigued by the Samsung Infuse, which is supposed to have the same screen tech but at 4.5 inches. The only other phone which I would consider is the Moto Atrix.

Good: the looks, design, hardware

Bad: software? nothing really

Comment: I look at all those new android BEASTS being released and keep wondering: how long will the Iphone be able to keep up?
It's pretty sad though cos it was good to have an operating systems race between Android and IOS.
what do you think Iphone 5/Iphone 4g/Iphone 4s sepcs will be like and what will be it's special feature?

Good: everything so far

Bad: price

Comment: This is my favourite smartphone to date - although it is not even released yet. I am thinking of getting this but it depends what the next iPhone does, so it will be a tough decision for me. It is however, very expensive but it looks like it may be worth every penny

Good: Beautiful screen

Bad: Can't say yet.

Comment: Question is: will they use the stock android file system or stick with their own file system? If it's the latter, you couldn't pay me to have one of these. I can't believe this review didn't even mention it after the outcry over lag issues affecting the mark 1 Galaxy S.

Not for me

Comment: It still looks too much like an iPhone, I wish they had adopted the look of the Omnia 7 for the next version.
