How let down I feel now. I've had the phone for 19 months but I'm tied into 2 year contract. I'm counting the days I can go out and get a desire! Samsung again have delivered an oustanding piece of kit with little support (the jan 2010 firmware update was loooooong overdue) and contempt for its customers. Where are the apps? as Mark says, its disgracefull that we have to hack our phones just to make them interesting, using apps from another manufacturer. Samsung dont seem to care, they seem intent on commiting some form of marketing hara kiri. I've got a samsung laptop (cost £800) which refuses to link to my samsung, 1080 HD tv (cost a grand) tho the laptop will talk to the kids cheap 22" tv. We won't be having anymore samsung anything in our house. Nuff said. You know, I was so proud when I first had my shiney new I8910, with its features, hardware and promises for the future.

I was drooling at this phone, looking at all the hardware specs and reviews. But yesterday, my friend told me about the Samsung Galaxy. I looked at the specs, reviews and stuff and thought i have finally spotted my dream phone. Then i happened to notice that the OS is still Android 1.5. I searched online and found that a lot of users are irritated because Samsung has refused to provide updates for the phone. (Yes, refused!) I was totally shocked. Then on an inspiration, I googled for i8910 problems. And guess what? I stumbled upon the petition and the 25-page report. When i had finished reading, I was appalled at the number of bugs, and the attitude of Samsung Mobiles. Looks like Samsung is doing the same thing for all their top-end mobiles. I've decided to avoid Samsung mobiles like plague from now. A pity, because they make such good, high spec phones. I almost bought this thing.

Should have bought N97. Nokia at least cares for its customers. Though N97 is disappointing hardware, Nokia backed it with such commitment with great Apps, updates and Ovi store. I for sure shall never consider a Samsung again. Feel same as most of the guys above. Should have bought N97. Nokia at least cares for its customers.

It's available now for symbian 3rd edition but there are ways to get it to run on the N97 so it could be used for the omnia!, The 5th edition is due out in January and looks really good with built in flash support for online video streams and blazing fast browsing. regards Mark Hi Sev, have you looked into Skyfire for your web browser?

No Apps store and terrible web performance - I'm on Orange version and I can't believe you can have such a poor a web browser with no Back/forward button for scrolling. Customisation not great either. Unfortunately I am only two months in to a two year contract!! Whatever Samsung plans it’s absolutely galling to have a phone that doesn’t deliver what it promised.
