Ok guys, some review on Ace. I can't be 100% precise as for pictures i'll try to upload later if i have the time.

1st) OP1 is quite sluggish IMO, not too sure for what reason but ACE is smoother compare to it.
*would have to install more apps and see how ACE performs. As far as i know, better spec does not mean it could perform better, we need to see the UI which is being used and for this case 2 thumbs up to Samsung.
*It's really smoother compare to my previous Milestone (ram capacity of 258mb vs 278mb as stated in the phone status (ACE))

2nd) Screen Resolution Display;
*Well it's slightly lacking compared to IP4 but hey, the phone is 60% cheaper compared to IP4.
*The icons words, widgets are all crystal clear to me. Surprisingly the 3.5" screen display looks much more awesome compared to the 3.7" display on my previous milestone. Seems like it isn't that bad to copy the display size of an IP. Steve Job had really put some thoughts on this i guess.

3rd) Camera. . .
*Wow i love it. Despite Milestone is having the same camera resolution... trust me on this. It is no where near to ACE. The 5 mp on ACE can do wonders and it's totally worth it for a phone with such a price tag.

4th) Build Quality...
*Nothing much to shout about pretty much similar to Samsung Galaxy S but with a cooler back COVER! Matt Black and White is just awesome!

*Anyone got any idea whether this phone is having a Gorilla Glassor scratchless surface?

Overall if you are talking about spec itself compared to the best phone out there.. maybe it's 3/5 but if we are talking about price/performance...
I would definitely give it a 5/5.

Nice, posted it in the front page. smile.gif

Oh and, good news for you, This confirms it that the Samsung Galaxy Ace is using Gorilla Glass.  thumbup.gif
*
Now there is even more reason for us to go for the phone! At this particular moment i don't think there is any phone which can perform as good as ACE below the price tag of RM1k.

Wow, this is the deciding review for us on the fence.  Anyway - is the warranty by Samsung?  Is it original set or AP set?  You know, the phone hasn't officially been launched here...
*
Belum ada AP set bro! It's not official yet that's why the stocks are distributing and i already go collect phone. lol

Nice... kena poison kau kau d...

I am just wondering if 278MB RAM is size of availability rather than overall size.

My Garmin Asus A10 have 512MB of RAM but even after fresh install, the availability amount is about 270MB.
*
Hehe, it's running on Android 2.1? if i am not mistaken only Froyo can run on 512mb.

hehe, some poison, tonight let me snap some cool non resize pic as poison to you guys. Both phone are working fine REAL good! FYI it's better not to install task killer and battery guard or something, my battery went down faster yesterday.

the center button of this phone is just like an iphone, the moment you tekan it will bring u back to the main menu. HAHA!

*one negative point i should highlight, there is no indicator light which isn't really that good imo.

I am here to ask about battery life as well.
How about minimal usage ? Like maybe, a few call or sms'es, maybe browse abit. Can last 2 days + ?
Can tahan maybe a 2 days trip, only use for calling n sms ?
Any more example will helps, looking at Ace now.
*
nah for that i think you need OP 1. Ace i think 24 hours is the max already with a few calls or sms.

Ace is better in most aspect.
RAM is most argued by most people, but we will have to wait a full review to see whether the 278mb is sufficient onot, i guess.
Evrything is good enough for me, except battery life  doh.gif
Screen and processor loot power than op1, but smaller battert than op1  doh.gif
Samsung could have give us a 1500mAh battery and i guess the manufacturing cost will still be low enough to place a good price tag... too bad.
*
wait review for what, go to the shop, take both phones and test it out. you can easily identify the difference la.

278mb of ram is more than enough la for this range of phone. The bigger screen and the advantage of the wider screen and also the color display! 16m fuh.. this is where ACE fully TRIUMP! let me share you some pictures!!!!

hi guys,
i need advice,

is it worthy to change my few weeks old my garmin a50 to SG ace?

thanks

changing phone is never right or wrong. haha. it's whether you can afford or not. i think i've changed more than 6 phones in the last 8 months.
From E71 > Milestone > Samsung Galaxy Ace
From E71 > Samsung Galaxy 5 > SE Aspen (not so user friendly) > LG GW620 > Samsung C3222

Haha testing out here and there and now quite satisfied with the combination of Ace and Samsung C3222. tongue.gif Can't live without 3g else i will be using only the samsung C3222 it's solid and sturdy. haha
