The internals are getting a bit dated but the phone is still a good top range device. It does get a bit buggy with some applications. The screen is also not has bright as the newer competitors.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: dated
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent but not perfect

I LOVE this phone, with one major exception...the battery life. I was so excited to get this phone, based on reviews and personal endorsement from a co-worker -- mostly due to the GREAT battery life that was so widely touted. My experience has not followed suit. I cannot go an entire 24 period without the battery needing attention, and I'm pretty bummed about that. Even using "battery saver" apps hasn't made much of a difference. And to shut down all the things they suggest basically makes the "smart phone" a paper weight. Oh well...maybe eventually I'll upgrade to another Samsung model and it'll be a better experience.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, pretty fast
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery life

I purchased one of these close to when it was first released. It has been a good phone overall with calls and internet access. My main issue with Samsung phones is that they claim to have great cameras, yet I often find problems with them. This phone ended up over time developing blurry photos no matter what solutions I tried to fix the camera. I think the software should always have options to adjust the focus abilities of the camera in case auto focus fails. Overall though, this phone is good.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I will have had my galaxy for a year in March and I honestly love it. When I first got it did have glitches but they worked themselves out and it's the best phone I have owned! :) I love the screen size and all the apps. The #1 thing I hate though is the battery life. I use my phone a lot and the battery goes down really fast but besides that it's an awesome phone.
Great phone for the money, still learning new features
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
