I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S through Optus 3 weeks ago. The phone is overrated. I’ve written about my experience with the phone on my blog at http://sfellowes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!66B895384B2CC7AF!816.entry

@lipka Thanks so much for your feedback regarding the Samsung Galaxy S. Yeah I heard that Froyo is not too far away You may want to consider getting a decent case for your device if you’re experiencing that kind of heat. Are you using it that much?!

I have the Samsung Galaxy S (used for over a week now). It is better than iPhone 3G & 3GS, Nokia N97, and Blackberry 9700 (my 2nd favourite phone). I know because I have owned/own all these phones.

One word of caution, the phone can get a bit hot!

Some things lacking however (due to the phone’s OS being Android 2.1) is it currently doesn’t support:
1) Bluetooth headset calling, and
2) Certain languages not supported (e.g. Thai), which means the Thai characters appear as squares on websites. Ironic given that it is a smart phone with heavy emphasis on the Internet and socialising.

However, Samsung has planned to provide OS update to Android 2.2 in near future (within 3 months??) which is supposed to address these deficiencies.

Haha. My friend just got his HTC Legend last week. Despite smaller screen (compared to HTC Desire / iPhone), its anodised metal casing and design make up for it!

@Palah haha. What about X10 Mini or X10 Mini Pro?
@Michael Just because you have their products doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a fanboy. I know that you’re just a lover of good tech!

The only thing that makes me want to get the iPhone is the apps.. they are just so adorable, useful, and sleek looking

All that, thanks to my iPad that makes me somewhat an Apple fanboy grr

wonder if they copied the iP 4 design ‘reception’ flaw as well … wife is still looking for a phone and tried an x10 at telstra yesterday…its the only phone she typed on without error but felt cheap in hand for a $1k phone… but in reading reviews the Samsung Galaxy may be worth a look… typical… Optus get first then need to wait for the big T to load with advertising (which can take ages) …
