Its very good phone , and my first smartphone. I suggest this phone to new smartphone users. There is no much cons. Only camera need led blitz. And it will be better when will can create folders on menu view.

119 euros in holland with Samsungs great service you cant go wrong.
The phone feels solid and has a decent crisp 3.2" screen.
Its fast enough to do most games although heavy 3d games is a bit to much.
This should be enough for everyone.

What I like

Android is a big plus. Limitless personalisation and even customroms if you want. Great.

What I don't like

For those who want 100+ apps on their phone, 150 mb isn't that much. For most

Nice phone, only con is low internal memory, though that's not a problem for most people.
There are reports that the gps is bad, and I've never noticed that, I use it a lot and it works great. It only sometimes takes a little longer to find sattelites when I've not used it for a while, and that is normal.
