guys, I'm thinking of getting an android phone, and one of them in my mind is the Galaxy S (the other is desire Z, but that's a story for another day). So far I'm very impressed wit the reviews and stuff. I hate how TouchWiz looks but I guess I can get it replaced with LauncherPro.

Thing is, today I went to a shop and inquire, the fella tell me the SGS has lots of problem and complaints. I acknowledged that I know the GPS is faulty and the RFS lag issue, but he insisted that it has more problems than that. What specifics, I dunno coz he mumbled stuff like 'very expensive, got lots of problem, a lot ppl complain'. In the end I gave up and left.

So, are there such extra other issues with the phone? Answers are much appreciated. I know this is a SGS thread so there's probably more praise than curses. Just trying my luck...

y ppl nvr complain tat iPhone is expensive?? yawn.gif To me, it's acceptable as the issues r only lag n gps like u said, but it's bearable.. besides, there're oways cooked roms n lagfix which fix the lag as well.. heard tat Froyo fixes the gps n a little bit in lag, not so sure abt tat. other than tat... don think there're any extra issues... hmm.gif overall, I think it's worth the $$ I paid. Hope other users here can help u as well smile.gif

Maybe you can check out mengsuan's short review of the phone here:

i've read that prior to asking the fella. Only GPS and RFS lag highlighted so far.

I'm especially attracted to the damn good performance running Quake in the video vs Desire. So i dun really care about the Quadrant or Linpak benchmark results vs the Desire Z.

@ken2291, yeah no news so far about 2.2 update fixing the issues mentioned. The shopkeeper fella recommended the original Desire, saying 'it's 2.2 wor, SGS only 2.1'. That time I confirm he know bollocks about phones.

Hi bro, if you like to play 3D games in your phone, i can say SGS is definately suit you, i personally try out my friend's Desire, even play the favorate game Angry Birds, i felt like slightly slow motion when the bird flying, think what other games like Need for Speed, Asphalt 5, Sandstorm etc Desire can performed (although it is a great phone too in other aspect).

I just try GPS locking speed twice by using GPS navigation sw called Ndrive, it can locked around 5-6 seconds, however i haven't try the actual accuracy by driving, probably will try it on Monday when go to office from my house.
My ROM version as shown in my signature.

I ask if he got sell, he ask me why i wan buy and told me the 'problems', so I think he didn't take in SGS. He has a Galaxy 5 (five) on display though. Mengsuan you from Puchong right? I'm refering to the HTC shop at Digital World IOIMall.

Is there a reason shops are selling this thing so expensive? Was quoted one at 2599 another at 2699. Crazy...
