i had this phone for a short while before swaping it for another.

things i did not like :

1) Accelerometer not sensitive and screen flow not fluid.
2) expected more from a 8megapixel cam
3) slight laggyness (for a flagship phone)
4) no front camera.
5) crap battery life
6) fat
7) lousy build quality. feels really plasticky and it makes sounds under pressure

no offense to any users here. just venting off some steam to SE for raising my hopes up so much

better shutter speed ? whats the use of 8 megapixesl if you have to hold the phone steady for a second before the picture is taken. Laggy as in not smooth transition between menus. It lasted about 1 and a half days on light usage I would understand if it's a PDA, but it's too short for a normal phone.

Nope, swapped it with a Samsung Innov8 within a week so no updates were available at the time.

IMHO, yes.. the innov8 is a better choice. 16Gb of memory , faster proc, more apps, better camera (okay, that's subjective.. but i find it to be better than SE) and thinner

Any of the modes that support 8 megapixels. And they were outdoor shots in the afternoon so shutter speed should have been at its fastest.

About 1 second. It shouldn't but it does If 3 megapixel no problem, but then no point in getting this phone anymore if I did that.
