Good: The Android Version(Gingerbread), Features, and the ease to use.

Bad: Camera is not that good, and the screen is pretty small too.

Comment: I had this phone for quite a few time now and there is no problem with it so far but what bugs me is the camera which is only 2MP and the screen size which is 3" screen which sure is pretty small yet the looks and the design is pretty good and it has good features yet because of the screen you can't download curtain apps and games yet there are no regrets about this phone.

Good: I bought it because it was the cheapest galaxy phone

Bad: hangs, very small internal memory, always displays "internal memory low", rejects sms

Comment: It has only 190MB internal memory. I always get a message saying Internal memory is very low. I deleted all the apps i have downloaded but this problem still remains. And it rejects incoming sms, and you cannot do small things like creating a new note or saving them. None of the preinstalled apps can not be removed although most of them are useless and are actually consuming more internal memory space. Hangs often. Yesterday I did not receive any call for 1 hour because internal memory was full and phone has hanged (unknowingly). What is the use of phone if you can not receive or make call and if you can not send or receive sms? I am right now struggling to solve this problem...

Good: Reliable, easy to use, fast

Bad: Small

Comment: The phone is incredibly reliable, easy to use, perfect for a phone fanatic. This phone is one of my best, it is incredibly hard to break, i must have droped mine at least 20 times from a reasonable distance and it still work perfectly. To anyone who loves a hard hitting phone, its right here !

Good: apps and wifi

Bad: does not receive phone calls

Comment: The apps and wifi are fine but it is simply no good as a phone. While it is receiving a good signal (3-4 bars) it still tells incoming calls that the phone is switched off. It can make outgoing calls and receive calls for a short time after it is used. UNDEPENDABLE sums it up!
