Samsung Galaxy S Android Smartphone Review - FunkyKit

When my mobile phone provider called me to tell me it was time to upgrade and ask would I like a new phone, I have to be honest, there didn't seem to be a model around that caught my eye. I didn't want an iPhone (too expensive, and in my opinion,...

In short, for me, Samsung are almost there in bringing a serious player to the Smart phone market, but I want something I can rely on, not just something that looks pretty.

Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 – A Quick Hands-on

A Samsung smartphone recently arrived in our test labs with the name tag Galaxy S Advance. Labeled with the model number GT-I9070, is this the rumored Galaxy S II relative described by several reports that have been circulating since last year?

Some sources say that the GT-I9070 might make an appearance at the MWC next month. It is not yet officially available in the Philippines, but the folks at Samsung priced it at around PhP 22,900. Although Gingerbread looks appetizing on it, we are...
