QUOTE(game4life @ Nov 11 2011, 07:38 PM) never tried firefox but personally i like opera mobile. You can switch between tabs & navigate with ease  for launcher, you can try launcher pro or go launcher  for camera, you can try camera360 will try it ..currently using FX camera .. quite nice .. no need editing like taking picture using DSLR .. auto editing hehe!~ just try using video function set up until 720p .. and very impressive.. compare it with my friend HTC Desire video .. SGW WINS !!~

Only Samsung Elite Partner(SEP) will give 2 years warranty. The rest will have the standard 1 year warranty. So be alert when purchasing your phone. My advice is to get the 2 years warranty instead of the 1year as the price gap is very small. 2. Current lowest price I have found : RM888 (1 year SME warranty) RM899 and RM900 (2 years SME warranty) 3. Be sure to check the camera when purchasing it, because for my unit, there are 2 dots of dirt inside the camera lens and it can only be seen after u take a picture and zooming it (more obvious if photo taken on a white background) 4. As for the RAM, only 351MB is available as the remaining is reserved for the OS. 5. As for the storage memory, it is partitioned into TWO sections. One for data/media file storage(1.7GB) and another one is for system/installed app memory (0.98GB). I believe that as what review sites had stated, the 4gb memory is a marketing gimmick which means that the 4gb represents all the storage space which includes the 1.7gb for data/media storage + 0.98GB for system/installed app memory + 1.32GB± for the Gingerbread OS and Default apps + data.
