Let's start with the positives:
The operating system:
- The software Android 2.1 (2.2 is already in the public beta) is very simple and user-friendly (my first touchpad cell phone and it has really explained everything by itself.
- The most important in my opinion (apps) are very abundant, thanks to the good AndroidMarked and it is as good as anything for free, unlike the Apple (even when paid apps, there is usually a free alternative and / or a demo version ( but not limited in time but only to the extent (BSP on Results: only 10 instead of 100 levels)).
- It is through the numerous existing apps not to convert videos or similar dependent (eg: the free rock player in AndroidStore can (even play any video format all opinions ...).)
- Another novelty is that it works as a full-fledged Navi through the free Google Maps published app and the right devices actually in no way inferior.
- By 7 freely be occupied backgrounds, between which you can switch using a finger swipe, you can phone structure very well and never lose track.
Synchronizing with the PC (gravel):
- The software works (unlike the new Bada operating system, which thank God is not in the Galaxy) perfectly. However, the conversion programs are redundant, as all videos such as convert MP4, which increases the data by a factor of 3-4. (S. Rocket Player)
The Camera:
- The images of the camera are as far as there is sufficient light for a phone in extremely good quality as the HD video.
The hardware:
- The mobile phone is very light and easy to handle. In addition to the zoom function is all actually be operated with one hand.
- The mobile phone is very fast in the execution of programs and surfing the Internet. (Which of course also depends on the Internet line (UMTS even complex pages to build in a few seconds. (For WLAN actually without delay)
- Due to the large display, which rotate through to landscape switch ends keyboard, and intelligent error correction of the operating system is even with ICQ it o.ähnliches trouble with both hands to type long texts, such as one would expect from the PC.
Let's talk about for improvement / vulnerabilities of the Galaxy I9000
I fall times with the door into the house and mention in my opinion, major weakness of the Galaxy:
BATTERY
With heavy use (games and surf the Internet) The battery has not even through 12h with me (The display has thereby identified 80% of electricity consumption, according to the Android software. The applications to be only 4-5% each. One can loudly the software by runterstufen the lighting and reduce the screen timeout time conserve battery power, but these are just a few% less and therefore not really worth mentioning. Since the phone is designed as a smartphone rather than a standard phone, I have to say I I expected more in terms of battery, since you really need for all the display if only watching movies, or surfing the Inet.
The Camera:
- The 2nd biggest flaw I find the camera. I find that one might expect a flash on the camera in a mobile phone in the upper price segment. Although you can set the camera manually on proforma lighter or darker, but that does pretty much no difference (unfortunately). Even at dawn, the images are quite dark and blurry.
The Wildgets:
- You can use very few Wildgets (the Samsung). The rest runs on normal apps. Eg when the weather apps you can therefore only use the standard Wildget, which is half an page size, and not a minor. You can not adjust the size of the Wildgets also.
1 disadvantage of the software:
- It continues running in the background all applications, even if it closes. Thus sometimes rather too many applications running at the same phone, which reduces the performance. (Is it possible, however, with an add (Task Killer) with 2 clicks close all together)
=> My conclusion:
- The mobile phone is (if you can put up with daily battery charging) a very good and above all value for strong cell phone. The display is very good and the mobile phone is very user-friendly.
- A good all-rounder for anyone who by the wide variety of apps.
- You should use only one Internet-Flat is however, as it requires for 99% of all applications of an Internet connection and can not be many apps without this start (also partially games these do not actually need).
==> I'm satisfied with the cell phone and would buy it again at any time.
