My Latest Gadget – Samsung Galaxy S
I’ve been wanting an Android device for sometime now because I want to start writing apps (or atleast start learning to write apps). I finally settled on the Galaxy S, but the HTC Desire came very close.
Theres just no comparison to my Samsung Omnia i900 and I’m glad to be rid of Windows Mobile 6.1.
The Galaxy is running Samsungs TouchWiz 3.0 and I had read a lot of bad reviews about it while researching the phone, but so far I’ve had no issues with it. Although I suppose anything is better than WinMo 6.1.
There are a few small issues with the phone but overall I’m really happy with it. The main issue I had was USSD messages (for checking your balance etc) were not working. I read somewhere that it’s Samsungs Mobile Tracker that breaks it. Mobile Tracker is for locating your lost/stolen phone among other things. Disabling this feature fixed the problem. This has apprently been fixed in the 2.2 firmware.
