Samsung Galaxy 3 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 12 Aug 2010, 07:59
There is nothing AMOLED-y or Hummingbird-y about our Samsung Galaxy 3 here, but on paper it has all the prerequisites for a compelling mid-range Android phone. Seeing is believing in our case, so let's charge ahead and examine the TouchWiz-ed Samsung Galaxy 3...

Buy the Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800).. the Galaxy Spica has a better screen but this phone has more RAM, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi-n and it'll soon receive Android 2.2 (Froyo) update..

Froyo is the only advantage it has. When I compared screen with spica(i5700)......spica resolution and clarity was way better. overall I liked spica, but with few more bucks u can get wildfire(n few more u will get motorla milestone: ) )....what a conundrum!

in india only i5800 galaxy3 is available, it costs 11500rs(street price) in cochin. they promises about the upgradation to 2.2 froyo but no offical sites reported the same. anyways they have already announced galaxy s will be getting a upgrade by 4th quarter of 2010 so lets hope galaxy3 also get a upgrade along with it.

i just bought the samsung galaxy i5801 from bangalore for 12.2k. the only difference between i5800 is the touch sensitive buttons which i5801 has. its the best mid range android phone below 20k in the market right now. I am hugely satisfied with the experience. Only the camera doesnt do justice to the specs, rest all features are up there with the best.

I have also bought Galaxy 3 (I5801) in in last month but the battery back-up is bad. If I call continue for only 2 hrs then battery charge level decreases to 0% from 100%.
What about your set? you are facing the same problem?
Or it is only my fault? though I have change battery and also updated the software but the problem is still there.
Please let me as soon as possible

Poor Battery Life. Otherwise great phone. I am also using Iphone 3G, so u can just think what a great phone would it be.

I purchased Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-I5801 model. To my shock it supports 3G but not video calling. By seeing 3G in the spec, I thought video calling is also there. I now feel I should have purchased samsung monte instead.

what are you saying man this is a smartphone you cant compare it with monte monte stands no chance against this
12. Srikanth G (unregistered) posted on 14 Sep 2010, 05:39 0 0
It is misleading to speak about 3G when they cannot provide video calling facility. What then is the use of a 3G phone? They should actually mention that they are not providing video calling. When monte can push emails and sync contacts, task list , appointments etc., what is so smart about a smart phone?

hi, I've bought galaxy 3 abt 10 days back...initially i faced issues with the battery but got used to save battery by closing apps that run in background.I'm facing problems with internet surfing...wifi automatically switches off :-( and samsung have a pathetic customer service. I have not been able to get the exact gprs setttings for vodafone - india. As per vodafone, GPRS is not committed for android devices..i'm able to acces a few applications using gprs..but android market and gmail app dsnt work.. if anyone facing any of these issues or any solution to this please email me at soni.jd@gmail.com

Vodafone offers 2 types of GPRS(1 normal and extended), using extended GPRS you can access AndMarket and other GApps, but it is obviously expensive than normal 1 ...tested on MotoMilestone
