“Don't take one even as a gift.”

Written on: 09/05/2013 by kckc007 (5 reviews written)

Got an S2 through orange on upgrade in Feb 2012. First one didn't work at all. The next two intermittently corrupted my SD card, the last one's wifi failed. Each time Orange arranged a repair or replacement. After being offered the fifth replacement, I contacted Orange, who said they only controlled the sim services, my problem was with Samsung UK. Contacted their call centre, who were very polite and apologetic, however when they tried to put me in touch with anyone who could actually do... (read more)

“It deserves it's high ranking”

Written on: 07/02/2013 by Daniel.Eastburn (11 reviews written)

This review is of the Samsung Galaxy with the Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) upgrade. I’ve had my for a couple of months now and can say that I’m quite impressed. I’ve had about 5 Android phones over the past few years and can definitely say that this is the best of the batch. In fact, I had previously bought an HTC Incredible 4G LTE that had good specs but such terrible performance that I moved quickly from that to this one. Display: Gorgeous. Colors look great and the display is... (read more)

“Android Is the Best !”

Written on: 04/02/2013 by KomalSadaf (2 reviews written)

Galaxy series is so delicate and stylized. it has very light weight. I like sharing things throug it just becuse it is android ! Androind has best conectivity as compared to i phone and apple products, Moreover i like the glowing screen of galaxy which enhances the beauty of picture. It has good touch sensor . Apart that this series has heavy applications and software so it sometimes irritates when it gets stuck , but other wise it is awsome in use. (read more)

“First Android phone I've owned”

Written on: 19/04/2012 by tides (1 review written)

I've been packing around this Galaxy S for a couple months and I've really been enjoying it. I used to use Palm phones and PDAs and this new generation of smart phones can do SOO much more. I love having the GPS on the phone. I like to hike and I can map where I go in the woods and see where I am on Google earth and stuff. I also use the GPS for wardriving and that's a fun way to get myself to go for a walk. The camera is pretty good. It has a lens that actually focuses, and the flash is... (read more)

“Ok, go for the iphone 4 instead!”

Written on: 20/01/2012 by jonowen89 (1 review written)

I have owned this phone for just over a year now and cannot wait to get myself an iphone 4. Although the screen quality is very good, it is bought back down to earth with its less than adequate battery life and its extremely poor reception in most places! I wouldnt recommend this to a friend as im sure there are better phones out there with a better value for money! (read more)

Written on: 19/04/2011 by riker (77 reviews written)

I debated long and hard about my next phone as I had a long list of features I needed. The Galaxy S has a lovely bright screen and is quite slim. This is both a plus and a minus - big means easier to see (I wear contact lenses + glasses for reading) but it is hardly pocket sized. I have been playing around with it to get it just how I like. The phone has been out for a while now so I have the Froyo android software. I was able to immediately download my mp3s from my pc through the... (read more)

Written on: 25/02/2011 by missredberries (4 reviews written)

A superb phone matching up to iPhone 4 specs, literally it's only the brand which is different, and android. And Samsung reliability in my experience is much better than ANY of the other brands out there especially Nokia. Great little phone that has everything you need, had mine 6 months now, only thing I can knock it for is the network provider, Orange, although it's cheaper than other companies it's the worst network for signal in my experience, so second time round I will be changing to...

Written on: 19/01/2011

I loved this phone and with the added ROMS you can get from techy sites it absolutely flies.
It is surprisingly cheap in the first place for such a first class phone but after searching Phone-Splat I got a ridiculously cheap deal when compared to the iPhone.
I would rate this as good as or better than the Apple phone. (read more)

Written on: 17/12/2010 by samspade79 (9 reviews written)

I bought this phone 5 months ago because I liked the large screen and slimness of the phone. This is my third android phone. However this has been a massive disappointment due to the extreme "lag" issues. Quite often when you click on a program, a button, whatever, the phone will freeze up for 3-4 seconds. other times the screen will go blank for a similar amount of time. I've even had the phone crash when people were calling me.

Like I said, the screen is beautiful, but its still not worth... (read more)

Written on: 05/11/2010 by punksluck (3 reviews written)

This phone had a few teething problems on it's release with 'Lag' being reported by it's first users. I purchased this phone around 1 month after it's release and experienced the same 'lag' issues as other users had reported, in fact the problem was so bad sometimes that the phone would 'hang' for around 30 seconds when opening or quitting applications.

I am pleased to say that since the release of Android FroYo 2.2 the lag issues this phone had have been addressed and remedied. The phone... (read more)
