smile.gif I just bought 2 unit yesterday............with Sirim sticker, Malaysia Samsung Mobile sticker, with Bahasa Melayu language in phone............do you think that they dint bring G3?

Most probably the sales is know nothing.

and the G3 is showing on Malaysia Samsung Mobile website

tongue.gif Nice phone it was, good sensitive with capacitive screen, stable and no lag at all.
screen color is nice as well, 16M colour

The worst thing is the small screen size sweat.gif

I do agree with you. Heard that for G5, most of the Android Market's app are not being able to run due to the 240x320 screen.
However, it would still be a good GO GO for newbies, for instance ME!  tongue.gif

hmm.gif I only tried few apps and game, thats no problem.........

some forumer tested more than 100 apps and games from Android Market, found no problem at all

this point you can ask Wildfire user who are sharing the same resolution with G5

I also facing little problem only on WIFI but not as you describe, i din't get disconnect. What I face is when u din't off phone for long time you'll find it's very lag when u turn on wifi connection and can't connect at all, after that u cannot turn off wifi. You have to restart phone and it's working perfectly after that.

I've try PAPAGO X5 also and working perfectly. Just in some small road not realy accurate. And anyone having GPS locking problem? Have to restart phon with GPS on then just can use.
*
hmm.gif Off gprs/3G/HSPDA and try again the "gps restart phone" issue can solve?

I have no wifi issue as you mentioned. I think its a software problem

Not quite the same price range. Galaxy 5 is only RM630, Wildfire cost more than 1k. Throw in another RM100 or so and you can get two Galaxy 5's.

sure not good performance loh..
this is just a BASIC spec, not really can support those game.. sweat.gif

biggrin.gif If wanna smoothly play the nfs, I believe only Galaxy S and Iphone can do it............
already surprise that Galaxy 5 can run smoothly in most of the time. Wildfire cant start the game even

The above benchmark result already 2X HTC Desire performance due to the sux resolution

Thinking of getting this phone. Actually I prefer wildfire over this but of course, budget constraint.

I have a few concerns tho.

One is the screen, 2.8", is it really small?

Another one is, the internal memory, is it enough for apps?
*
smile.gif Yes, I felt the screen really small........the worst point
Regarding internal memory, actually I not confirm what the actual size of the ROM, using the system info and show total ROM of 184MB ( i not sure whether it include the OS)

but once it upgrade to 2.2, it can install into SD card, not the issue anymore

for the RAM, the level control by OS automatic, most of the time is 6x - 9x free RAM, this level is normal for many device. I dint feel lag

is there any 1st step to activate the GPS? any through the setting? and let say if it found the satellite, what type the icon will show?
*
My setting,
Setting - Location & Security Setting - Use Wireless Network (keep tick)
Setting - Location & Security Setting - Use GPS Satellite (keep tick)

Setting - Wireless & Network - Mobile Networks - Enable always on mobile (tick or untick is up to you, I untick)

Indoor, you can use google maps with wifi, lock in few second, but location not accurate
indoor without wifi, I not even success, this machine sux in indoor locking
Outdoor, usually lock within a minute depend the surrounding building (Driving in car also can)

If the "Satellite and Question" mark icon blinking at Papago, meaning its still searching satellite, yet to lock
Once it lock, Papago will sound to inform you, and icon disappear
