Guys,
Is this phone fragile? As in, once it drops, what will be damaged? I am planning to get a used unit and Im pretty sure the previous owner dropped his phone before, who doesn't  So what are the after effects of a drop? Thanks |

QUOTE(gajahwhite @ Feb 21 2012, 12:39 AM) me.. 1 year++ already.. never drop my phone yet.. Thanks for your reply. well if it was a normal drop.. i don't think it will effect the phone.. it's depend on how it drop and which part.. usually the hardware inside will not get any effect.. maybe you should check the screen, sounds, mic, and camera if u wanna buy a 2nd hand one  Wow, you must take really good care of your phone then. How can I inspect whether the screen or internal parts are damaged or not? I think sound and mic and camera are quite easy to check. Sound - play a song Mic - call someone or vice versa Camera - snap a photo The screen maybe for deap pixels or black spots but it can also possibly be that it's ok sometimes but sometimes it goes off or something. What are the common symptoms of a phone that is not 90%? |

Are there any common problems with this phone?
After we root the phone, will you lose all the data? Msg's, phone numbers etc. |

I thought that Galaxy S would get ICS as per first page on this thread but then to my horror I read this on gsm arena;
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_v...a-news-4032.php Amongst the important things from the article; ...Samsung had to take back its words after they found that the device was unable to run the new OS ...Later, Samsung promised to bring a value pack to the Galaxy S, which would essentially be Gingerbread but infused with some of the features from Android 4.0, such as face unlock. After a while though, even that plan was cancelled as the phone's hardware was once again shown to be less than adequate. I don't understand. I thought that this was a powerful phone. |

QUOTE QUOTE I think it's probably because the system partition on Galaxy S is much more smaller and Touchwiz requires more ram, these held back the update. Also, Samsung might thinks that Galaxy S has done enough This post has been edited by ken2291: Mar 30 2012, 05:58 PM So Galaxy S won't get ICS? And since I'm new to smartphones, is it really important for the phone to be up to date? I thought that all this OS updating is similar to Windows 97>ME>XP.Vista>7. On PC's it's not necessary for us to update the latest OS. Is it not the same on smartphones? What are the disadvantages if a smartphone can't get ICS or the future updates? Will S1 last long or not in terms of updating? Or is it better to top up and get a used S2? Thanks. I will really appreciate if someone can shed a light on this. I'm really noob in this matters. |

Guys, do you think it's better to get a used Galaxy S or S plus?
In terms of updating, will S plus be better? Is it worth it to spend an extra RM150-200 for Galaxy Plus? Thanks |
