Galaxy S (tmobile)
Phone owned for less than a month

I've only had this phone for a few days (less than a week) and I'm already on line looking for help to fix issues with it. Out of the blue it just vibrates for no reason. The battery life sucks. Some apps take forever to load and then freeze up my phone completely. The coverage sucks as well. I am constantly dropping calls in my house. I have no house phone only a cell and it's very annoying when I drop calls like crazy. I'm happy with the camera even though it doesn't have a flash. I really like the way the screen looks, its big and the pic quality is amazing. My boyfriend got the same phone at the same time as I did and he has no problems but mine is messed up like crazy. He thinks its the apps so i'm going to uninstall every thing and take it back to factory settings and see if that helps. If not then I guess I'm stuck with a crappy phone. Maybe I just got a bad one out of the bunch which is my luck. Hope everyone else is having better luck than I am.

New Droid user---now addicted
Phone owned for less than a month

Ok, so I had a hard time giving up my Motorola Defy, well because I am one of those people who needs a waterproof phone. Don't get me wrong everything else was great, but it was a 3G phone. Once I saw the Galaxy S go on sale, it was a hard decision, giving up my life proof phone for a High tech one. Well, it's the best choice out the box. Don't listen to what people say about the camera....the flash does not make a difference (I had one of the Defy, Samsung has better quality). The speed on the Galaxy is unbelievable, and it's easy to learn. Inception is a bloat, but it's great when you want to show off the AMAZING screen resolution on this phone. It's crazy. I don't like to fall in live with inanimate objects, but I say the Samsung Galaxy and I are really good friends.

In Love With This Phone!
Phone owned for less than a month

This is the first smart phone I've ever owned and had it for about a week now. At first, it's a little intimidating but after you play around with it for an hour, it's easy to use. Loading time is fast so I have not encountered stalling problems yet. The audio and images on here are very crisp and clear. The speakerphone feature is amazing. Not only can I hear the caller but they can hear me clearly (which was a big problem with my last phone). I know some people complain about the lack of a flash for the camera but I personally think that flash on phones aren't that great anyways. The camera on this phone is 5 mp and takes excellent photos in natural lighting. Video chat on the phone is a lot of fun too. I haven't used the qik app on the phone but downloaded the Tango app and it was so easy to use.

Now there have been a few negatives that I have encountered. Sometimes I have a hard time switching over from using the 4G network to wi-fi, since I have horrible service at work and we have a fast wi-fi network. I also have experienced some echoing issues when using this phone at night for some weird reason.

Other than, it's a great phone to have especially if you like to multitask between apps.
