I got my unit yesterday from jason/moon. all the way from klang to kepong to grab the last black unit of the day biggrin.gif

very satisfied with the phone. I got this ace and LG O1 in hand now.
I love both of them, but at some part I love the Ace a little more.

Ace pro's:
like the camera(5MP with flash),
the screen size(3.5"),
sound/audio reproduction,
android 2.2.1 out of the box,

con's:
speaker placement at the back( I prefer at the front like LG O1),
278MB ram (should make it 512MB min much like LG O1),
shining crome part at the side of the phone, looks cheap and fingerprint magnet( I prefer the crome part at LG O1),
lack of full flash 10 on browser,
old version of google aps out of the box, Market, Map all old version (can be upgraded through market),

I thought out of the box is froyo 2.2 only?? Then 2.2.1 can root??
*
sure can root.
Its been a while since samsung release 2.2.1 for their android phone.
Its just android version. no problem to root the phone.

Hello? U know that after diving the ram for OS and Adreno Graphic itself, 278MB of ram is sufficient already. I believe u haven't realize Xperia X10 has only 384MB of RAM on board. What happen when u divided the RAM for OS and Graphic as well as the Default apps like TimeScape UI?

Hi. Do you realize why the phone does not support full flash10 out of the box despite having froyo installed?
I am using this ace phone right now. Running normal task already eat 75% of the ram. If full flash browser installed I bet it will easily reach 99% and the system will lag as hell.

Ah really? Sorry my bad! Wasn't updated with this thread. biggrin.gif

How does the screen feel like? Glassy or plasticy?
*
yes it does not comes with gorilla glass nor amoled screen.
viewing from my own eyes, I feel like my LG Optimus One have better screen than my Galaxy Ace.
Optimus One got more brighter and vivid color than ace.

Anyone bought cheaper than RM900 ?

There is still no AP set on the market, so you wont be able to get new ACE below RRP (RM9XX).

Thanks for replying biggrin.gif. I was wonder which phone should i get and kinda worry for battery life. Would love to know the life of average usage before I decide which to get.
*
You can't expect much on 1350 mAh battery.
If you are heavy user, you will find the battery drain very fast, especially when you are on WiFI or 3G.
I never had time to try intensive battery test, but for an average usage I might get them last for 4 to 5 hours with Wifi/3G always on.

Come on, if the phone is around rm9xx it's a worth to go already. no point going so far away just for 10 - 30 ringgit discount. You wasted your precious time + toll + petrol + parking.
*
I bought from moon at her shop with all the package (free posh + screen protector + car charger + car holder + papago installed) for RM917.
If you dont want to waste toll = petrol + parking, they also offer postage, just pay few ringgit only for postage.
