Could you please make a review of it?
I am VERY temped to buy an Android phone, but I still don?t know which one:
Samsung Galaxy, HTC Magic or Motorola Milestone (or Droid, depending where you live).
hmmm, let's see.... to start with I have what most folks consider to be bery large hands/ fingers. The complaints about the flatness of the keyboard concerned me at first, but after using it I find it pretty nice. I don't typically type very long messages and I am ok with correcting things a few times, but I find it very reasonable.
The screen is great, but I find myself cleaning smudges or "gunk" off the screen quite often. It picks up just about anything that touches it, but I am sure most phones of this type do the same thing.
I also have both the car dock and the multimedia dock. I don't have any music on my phone currently, but I can see how that would be quite useful. The car dock is my new best friend, and once I get the ability to dictate text messages in Android 2.1, that will be fantastic!
I have found the phone's reception to be MUCH better than my sister's Balckberry, and the data transfer speeds seem to be what they should be, but of course that is all very geographically dependent.
I have occasionally activated the camera on purpose, and pocket dialed people a few times, but no big deal... right?
My one big complaint about the camera is the LOUSY menu! It has all of the right options and settings, but the way it pops out and the way you get thru it is just clunky. Maybe I am just missing something, but it is a bit of a PITA to change settings quickly.
The speakerphone is pretty dang good, and the battery life is decent as well. I have run it in GPS mode for over 5 hours on a single charge, but I typically keep the screen brightness all the way down. The only time I need to turn up the brightness is outside in direct sunlight, and if you keep it up for any length of time it will decrease your battery life a in a very big way (nearly in half).
The only other thing that is sort of a "what the hell were they thinking" item is the location of the SD card. You have to pull the battery to get to it, but with a 16gb card right out of the box, and a data cable provided there is really not that much need to yank the card out unless you share it between devices. I would recommend just buying a dedicated card for whatever you might have been sharing with.
My sister has little tiny fingers (and I think she may be cold blooded) she has MAJOR trouble getting the screen to recognize that she wants something done, so I would certainly go to a store and try it out for yourself before committing to the phone.
Oh one other very annoying thing is that I have not found a way to delete only selected text messages in a group, it is all of them or one at a time... that is a pain in the ass sometimes too. I would like to delete only facebook SMS updates or something similar, but I have to do them one at a time and on a busy day that could take a while!
