QUOTE(tutiger @ Sep 26 2010, 02:53 PM) Hey people, a new Galaxy 5 user on board here. Did face a few problems after playing around with it......! 1. Papago took too long to lock in position..... about 30-45 mins, place on the car dashboard. 2. The screen would sometimes blank out.... restart by taking out the battery 3. The contact would not sync with my Outlook via Kies but Calendar can....  My papago dint encounter the problem you mentioned, not necessary place on dashboard also can lock in fast About contact sync, I have no ideal, dint try before

QUOTE(Tainted @ Sep 26 2010, 05:53 PM) Yeap, will do so one day. Btw, the layout of the pages of apps, can be changed right? I like the layout on the HTC Wildfire tho. Hows the screen quality compared to wildfire? Yes, you can change the layout......... Screen quality is much better than wildfire 3D performance is much better than wildfire

QUOTE(vworm69 @ Sep 27 2010, 01:14 PM) Cool bro...and can somebody clarified that our G5 are Scratchless isn't it?...  I believe there is nobody dare to test............ I have no ideal about Samsung definition on the scratch-less screen, is that a special material? or just because it capacitive? as I know capacitive is more scratchless than resistive screen due to it can use hard glass screen, while resistive must use soft screen

QUOTE(silentser @ Sep 27 2010, 05:26 PM) just bought this phone for my lil sister, advice her to wait for g3, but so long  , so g5 is the way to go. bought from PDA expert, they are very very super duper great shop. 4 thumbs up. i got very good bargain from them, and they also give CAPDASE (yeah its capdase no china) screen protector free. i dont recomment you go to samsung mobile shop at subang parade, very stingy one.... even so hard to ask for screen protector. @sufiyan, you can just turn this thread into G5 official one, just give the 1st poster a pm to include G5 information on the 1st page  I pmed thread starter to maintain the thread or re-open.........
