I am interested to buy this phone...
By spec, it seems better than Xperia Sola (was attracted to Sola earlier...).
Never use Sumsung smartphone before. Build quality, after-sale support, etc... Any comments?
Will get ICS?

Can someone help to post the Antutu benchmark score screen here?
Thank you.

Thanks for the screenshots.
I presume you use Class 10 memory card. May I know what is the brand and capacity?
I bought a kingmax 32gb class10, at best it scores 9.7MB/s write; but higher read @ 21.7MB/s.
Thanks.

It seems samsung is using dual mount for both internal and external storage. This is great as compare to my other android phones (HTC, SonyEricsson, CSL) which only mount to either the phone or PC one at a time.
For this phone, I just unplug after copying files completed.

Just to share my experience and thought...

Why would you want to run 1080p (Full HD) video in this phone?
The screen resolution is only 800 x 480, while full HD=1920 × 1080.
The screen will not show any better quality for any video with resolution higher than 800x480 (480p).
On the contrary the cpu will waste the process power on these extra data with no gain, and cause lagging.
It will scale the video down to 800x480 to fit the screen anyway.
And the 1080p video also taken up more storage as compare to 480p video.

The rule of thumb is to find the video with resolution fit the screen resolution.
With that, you get the best performance and best video quality the screen can reproduce, and save those precious storage space. i.e. optimised result.

This is a great phone, overall smooth performance with such competitive price from Samsung.

Comparing s advance to tab 7.7, it has less powerful cpu (1Ghz dual core against 1.4 dual core) and lesser RAM (768mb against 1GB)...these 2 impact greatly on playing full hd video smoothly or not...

Seeing your need and the result, s advance just seems not suitable as a full hd media player...

Which version of papago? X9?

Just now I did a check on software update and it downloaded a 15mb file. When click on install, it says will reboot the phone, but it was not rebooted...the screen stay black but the Setting and Back buttons are light up. Waited for 10min still the same. Press power button also no reaction. What happen?? Did I just brick my phone? By OTA updates? OMG! Anyone can help?

EDIT: Managed to reboot the phone by long press power button (>5 sec)...then the green robot appear and software installation starts...phew
Took quite awhile for the entire updates...After that, it is still 2.3.6 and didnt notice any different.
Anyone know what updates is this?

Thanks for your reply. How did you figured out what has been changed? Any link I can read more?
Thanks.

Haha...understand.
I was facing sms ringtone problem...sometime no sound, sometime ring for 0.5 second then no sound already.
Notification tone for call and whatsapp seems no problem (tested with the same ringtone).
Just that you mention about the sms and miss-call notification in the updates...
So want to know more about what/how has it fixed (also mean Samsung does knew about this problem).

No, it is stock sms notification setting. Will monitor how it goes...

Ooo, will try out the apps and see... thanks.

Thanks for sharing.
But this is for Ukraine. Hope Malaysia will catch up real soon.
