It's easy to update its android (in 2.3.6 for the German model for French 2.3.3) with the Samsung KIES software. The SHIFT gives greater autonomy and other improvements.
All android applications work well - Google Mail, Maps, Browser, Kindle, YouTube, Opera Mobile, Weather Underground etc ... Only small downside - the screen is quite small and so it is difficult to compose texts lanyards. I bought it with a good case 5 and a 16GB micro-SD card on which I 9 stock music, videos and GPS navigation maps (NavFree, ViewRanger, Memory-Map).
