Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Review

             Hey peps I’m back to talk to you today about the Samsung I9000. As you know from my last review this is the big brother phone to the Samsung I8520. The I9000 phone comes in two sizes the 8gig and the 16gig. And both phone are expandible with SD card slots. The I9000 has the 4inches (480×800) Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. This phone is blazing Fast with ARM Cortex A8 1GHz Processor ,512MB RAM and 2GB ROM keeps the phone from locking up and makes the OS (Android v2.1 Eclair) smooth as can be. This phone has a 5MP (2592×1944) Camera which records 720p at 30fps. Because the phone is 9.9mm thick its one of the thinnest Android phones on the market and weighting 119grams. This phone runs with TouchWiz 3.0 and this phone also has 7 different home screens. This phone like the Nokia N8 has a GPU card in it. The PowerVR was tested by Neocore and proved that it gives 55fps higher than most Android phones. This phone is on the higher side of the bill. 16Gig at $679.99 and the 8Gig at $579.99.  

Also this phone is going to be released on all USA Networks. I haven’t came across the official release date. I’m assuming around Christmas or into the New Year. The I9000 on AT&T will be called the Captivate. T-Mobile calls it the Vibrant. Verizon calls it Fascinate. And sprint will call it the Epic 4G. The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is already out in Europe and will work on the AT&T network. I prefer to have the original phone because as we know from AT&T, Is that they deactivated the front facing camera on the Captivate (I9000), and locked alot of the Galaxy’s S programs. The USA phone company are dumbing down the phones. WHY??? For money of course. You would think AT&T would keep the front camera of the phone working because of AT&T’s video calling.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  2. Speed Dome says:

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
