Galaxy S

The expiry of the old phone plan is rapidly approaching. Optus has just announced the Galaxy S samsung android phone. $59 on the 'Social plan'. (Thanks for android.net for that tip) Close to the budget. Plus very good value for money on specs compared to other comparable phones on the market.





Nice Spec's as well::

General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
Status Coming Soon


Size Dimensions 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm
Weight 118


Screen Type Super AMOLED – Capacitive
Colours 16 Million
Size 4″ (480×800 pixels)


Other RAM – ROM N/A – 512MB
Camera 5MP – Flash – Video: 720p @ 30fps
Android Version 2.1 (Cupcake)
CPU Samsung Hummingbird @ 1GHz

Big bonuses: very snappy processor and the recent operating system.

Downfalls: Camerea could have been a bit bigger and front facing camera.

But these are things I could live with.
