are u the geeky type who likes to mess around with your phone alot?
like changing themes, fonts, install experimental software, etc.
choose android. samsung ace seems like a good deal except for the lousy video.

or u are just using phone as an elegant, simple yet powerful device for your communication and entertainment needs?
choose iphone.

one of the biggest problem with android OS is fragmentation.
bcos of the free nature of android, most manufacturers dun give a rat's arse abt ensuring dat their devices are with the latest version. mad.gif

and bcos manufacturers also produce their own software layer to overcome the many weaknesses of android, they need to spend a lot of time and effort to rewrite software whenever new android version is released. for example, samsung has touchwiz, htc has sense, motorola has motoblur, etc... rclxub.gif

and the situation gets even worse and more complex for customers.
more often den not, if u buy the low-budget or mid range androids, manufacturers (except for htc) won't want to update them.
even now, when the 2.4 android is going to come out, most new phones are still with 2.2. doh.gif

and the dung really hits the fan if u buy the mid range androids, u may find the latest apps is not supported.
e.g. different reso, features, etc.

but u say u are like a nerd who likes to play arnd wt experimental software, so it may not be long before u discover that this phone will not be able to satisfy u.

in dis case, u might need to wait just a lil while and splurge a bit on the s2.

Added on March 1, 2011, 1:45 pm1 to clarify something about the RAM....
i jz play around with my colleague Galaxy S with Android 2.2...
i checked his phone setting n the RAM displayed is 1++/3++MB...
so that i can confirm Galaxy Ace total RAM is not 278MB as displayed in the setting...coz Galaxy S total RAM is 512MB as mention in the SEPC...
*
So Galaxy Ace's RAM might be around 512mb u say? huhu

yes but u hv to check with the processor too....
so plus minus both r the same....

600mhz + 512mb RAM --- processor not enough so need the higher RAM to support

800mhz + 3++mb RAM --- processor fast enough so 3++mb RAM is enough to support

Added on March 10, 2011, 3:27 pmI still cant get my Ace...where only got stock available!!!!
*
which area r u from?
me from subang.
i think if u ask around popular shop like at pyramid or digital mall or any subang area shop all no stock dy/maybe overprice. i've been searching the whole weeks (last week) but i accidentally just asking hp shop at carrefour ss15 and they got lot of stock both white and black..i got mine for rm1000 last friday fullset together with sd card class4 8G and car charger. i think the price still reasonable as i dont have to search far to kl.

anyway anyone know who's selling SP for Ace?
