Thinking of buying this phone. But still undecided whether to buy this or Wildfire S. Would you guys recommend it?

is the upgrade for GB available on kies yet?

it's a good budget phone. I'm happy with it. just don't expect too much like play 3D games, it might lag

BTW, can someone post up how or where to upgrade to GB on the 1st page?

my friend got a wildfire, fidgetted around.. i personally didn't like it much, but i would suggest u compare the specs first.. just google and look at the specs.. to me, galaxy ace is just better but maybe i am biased

Added on September 14, 2011, 4:18 pmAce has better processor speed compared to Wildfire S but Wildfire S has better RAM and internal memory
so u decide urself which is more suitable for u
but wildfire S is pricier and smaller screen as well

but if u dun mind branding, u can consider huawei ideos x5. it beats ace in nearly every section or if u dun mind wp7(windows phone 7), u can hav a look at htc 7 mozart. it costs around 800 but with 1ghz processor and 8mp camera. not sure bout the lower spec htc 7 trophy though

btw, i juz saw this comment on gsmarena. "I am using Wildfire S for last two months. it is a good one. there are problems, common problems like, battery life and internal memory. When i bought and configured all simple apps and could see only 20 mb left on my internal memory, even after..." i think u better do more research on this phone

Does upgrading to GB wipes out apps n info in internal memory?

I'm still facing the same problem with my GPS,I can't check in foursquare. It shows error couldnt find location and make sure GPS and network is turned on. I have tried GPS status app to configure the GPS data but still the problem occurs.anyone help me.

on official GB,
playing talkbox halfway....then auto restart my hp....
i think already twice my hp restart by itself when I using it...

On froyo or gingerbread.

On Froyo

if i wanna update to gingerbread must i go to official samsung service centre or any samsung authorized dealer will do?

I went to the authorized dealer in one utama, he say I need to goto service centre. Wonder if service center will be open during weekends or not.

what number is that?

Download and install FasterFix and set Current NTP Server to asia.pool.ntp.org

DX suppose is for Asia version, but latest is only DXKPB and DDKQ5. Hope some1 can figure me out whr the DXKP9 come form and which method should i use for root. Thx

Latest version is DXKB9 gingerbread for Malaysia.

Go to settings-about phone-built should state dxkb9.gingerbread
