I am quite interested with this phone. I wonder if there's any problem that the current users are facing?
And is there any tend of price dropping in a bigger manner in these few months? Wanted to buy but don't really have that much of $$(college student) ><

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Nov 27 2011, 11:01 PM) Some users complain of sms problem Price will drop, but I don't think not so soon. How long are you willing to wait?  Why? The touch screen not good ah? About 2 - 3 months or so. QUOTE wil definitely drop........n summore quad core phones comin out early nex year, single core n dual core phones will all drop like shiat........ I was thinking of this factor too. Galaxy S3 is coming out next year with Quad Core processor(whereby I don't think any regular users will need). I think it will drop a lot but, who knows?

From the v1 thread, I saw that based on user reviews, the battery life span is amazing, can any current user give an opinion on this? because I think I am going to get a data plan for this phone if I bought it and opening 3G is seriously battery sucking(at least it did for my se phone).

QUOTE(newboi @ Nov 28 2011, 12:01 AM) ya if on 3g 24/7 wil drain battery life like shiat, the battery wil finish 2x faster if on 3g............ well, I know. But what I meant is that how long can it last if I open 3G continuously. So I can predict how good is the battery life is

QUOTE(gastacopz @ Nov 28 2011, 02:01 AM) can you be more specific please? I had been reading the first 20++ pages and here's what I got: 1. Call voice kinda low 2. SMS problem 3. RAM is actually lower than advertised(the retained part is used by the OS) 4. Need root phone if want to use some other functionalities(common la haha) 5. Samsung can detect whether you had rooted your phone or not and your warranty may be voided 6. About the micro sd, difference between class 4 n 10 Anything else that I missed?
