Nice, will wait for that review, especially it’s camera capability.

Galaxy S’ 1ghz Hummingbird processors sadly beats the HTC Desire’s 1ghz Snapdragon, but I still love HTC Sense.

lol @ stop posting blogs here

Gorgeous! and yep.. OTA Update to Froyo 2.2 is on deck as tweeted by Samsung US most likely towards Q4 this year.. so Abe.. Galaxy S or iPhone 4?

and also the other difference is the back part…the back of this samsung is kinda thick :)

but the front part really resembled an iPhone3g or 3gs :))

lmao… ayaw pa rin tumigil nung impostor haha.. I wonder how much his feather’s we’re ruffled by the real Mon.

Good luck trying to copy that mr impostor :)

I really don’t know why THAT Mon fancies my comments. LOLs.. anyhow..

@Kim… Oo nga.. at first look it looks like the 3GS I think they’re suing HTC for some reason. Not sure if they have Samsung under their radar! :)

btw.. samsung as a phone maker has 3 platform under their belt.. which are BADA, Android and at one time WinMo. :)

I tried using the galaxy s the other day, it was on display at shang, and i wasnt convinced that the procie of the samsung was better compared to the desire, UI was laggy, switching between the home screens was really slow as compared to the desire, although it could be just the software, anybody else got to try the galaxy?

the biggest letdown for this is samsung’s UI. its darn UGLY! not to mention it looks like the iphone UI and the phone itself looks like the 3gs.

the device feels a bit plasticky, (lightweight too) and feels like a toy in my hands – its upgraded aOs 2.1 exclair was more than fast enough.. a near perfect android phones i guesz but with no camera flash – it sucks too… :)

Samsung Galaxy S’ UI Touchwiz is nowhere close HTC’s Sense UI.. pero I’ve read blogs about how you can get Sense with a Samsung phone.. though you might Brick your phone along the process..

@RIE : hahaha.. I know right… the Phone’s UI is a deal breaker for Samsung.. But Samsung’s phone got so much promise from hardware alone yet the freaking UI.. but some say it’s not that horrible..

Abe’s comparison chart..

Pair this with Fully loaded plan and you’re all set. I just wish they extend the promo until September, I’m still paying for my snatched n97 sad

off topic:
Let me advertise my page http://hiheygaler.blogspot.com/

@cliffrosario
that’s the caveat but it’s well worth it

Hi Abe,

Paki block naman IP ng impostor na yan. Sobra na

@Buick
That’s weird. Globe’s selling it for Php 32,995 as a prepaid phonekit. It’s also available with their latest My Fully Loaded postpaid plan for as low as 299 a month (I think the phone costs 26k for plan 299, and it’s payable via 3,6,9 and 12 months 0% installment with Citibank).

And I just realised that my post is like an ad for Globe’s latest postpaid service. O_O

Just trying to help, I guess. XD

Guys take note that globe’s promo for this samsung galaxy s for postpaid plans mostly comes with a 36-month lock in period (if I’m not mistaken). Ang tagal ng contract XD

@Jaypee

I think the 36-month lock in period only applies to the Galaxy S promo (Jun 25 to Jul 31) wherein the handset is free at plan 2499 (the phone is free at plan 5000 pag normal).

@All
Guys, I need help. ‘di ko parin alam ang bibilhin ko. Galaxy S vs HTC Desire vs Samsung Wave.

Price-wise, the Galaxy S is waaaaay up there. HTC is second (checked it out yesterday at MemoXpress, their selling it for 26k, cash) whilst the Wave is just tempting for its specs (at 18-19k).

However, HTC and the Galaxy runs Android. The Wave runs Bada. Although I’m a bit optimistic about Bada, there’s still a chance wherein it will fail to get the developer support it needs and the Bada will soon cease to exist, or it’ll get that much needed support after a few (or several perhaps?) years later.

I like the screens of both the Galaxy S and the Samsung Wave (Super Amoled = drool). It’s just that, from what I have read so far about Samsung, there’s too much “anger” out there about their lack of support for their phones. Scary.

On the other hand, HTC Desire has received a lot of good comments since its release. I am yet to experience the Sense UI but I’ve also read a lot of praises about it (too bad walang test unit yesterday).

Recommendations are pretty much welcome (hopefully, within the day). I’ll be buying one tomorrow so I need to maybe slim down my options to at least two (why do I have this that feeling no one will recommend the Wave?)

Thanks in advance!

@JKisaragi
I also forgot to mention that touchwiz is just plain boring compared to sense ui, plus having hardware buttons on the desire is better than the touch sensitive ones on the SGS. Oh and if you plan on buying a desire buy it from cmk cellphones, that’s where i got mine, they’re selling it for 25500 cash w/ one year official HTC warranty :)

@carlo
thanks for the advice. However, I got myself a Galaxy S instead. So far, so good. And I’m really liking Swype. Woohoo!

great phone. was a bit disapointed with the camera with no flash :(

why is my IP blocked

by the way, i am using now a galaxy s, and using the launcher pro from android market(free), the galaxy s speeds up more. maybe with launcher pro background processes are much reduced. the samsung touch wiz is deactivated with launcher pro. try it..

@all
Question:

this phone worth 32k right?? but what is the memory?? 8g or 16g?? is 8gb memory is the same price with 16gb?

Thanks in advance for the answer.,

this is a really beautiful phone, the fact that it runs android just makes it perfect!
