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

cheapest I saw is RM619, web seller without shoop

I buy from web seller moon, she became famous seller of Galaxy 5 now..........
She told me that she bought one Galaxy 5 as well

You are the first person who root the Galaxy5 here

I try search you the instruction, but as i know you need custom ROM to do it, at this moment G5 has no custom ROM

Added on September 27, 2010, 8:06 pmMy 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)

try a-gps, maybe can help you faster..................
