The Samsung Galaxy S Is An Appealing Android Smartphone

Anyone who is looking into buying a new Smartphone

, but is not one over by the mainstream models available, should seriously take note of the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S.

Since its release this summer, it has received many rave reviews, and has already been hailed by many as an iPhone beater.

With a gigantic 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen which operates within a pixel setup of 480x 800 pixels, up to 16M colours can be displayed. This gives tremendously vibrant and detailed results and it comes to displaying photographs and video footage. An accelerometer sensor allows users to view content in both portrait and landscape modes based on the orientation of the phone, whilst the TouchWiz 3.0 UI allows users to customise their homescreens with apps and widgets.

When it comes to entering text, be it for text messages or searching the web, the Swype text input feature allows users to greatly speed up the text entry. This works by allowing users to slide their finger along the onscreen QWERTY keyboard from one letter to another without taking it off the screen. With a small amount of practice, users will easily become proficient in entering text at lightning fast speeds.

A number of connectivity options are provided as standard in order to give users of the Samsung Galaxy S optimum connectivity levels dependent upon region and network coverage. Class 12 GPRS and class 12 EDGE connect the handset to cellular networks, whilst an HSDPA connection provides access to the Internet at speeds of up to 7.2 mega bytes per second in areas covered by 3G. Fast upload speeds are provided courtesy of an HSUPA connection with speeds of up to 5.76 mega bytes per second being available. Where local Wireless Networks where available, the built in Wi-Fi Technology will give users a much faster browsing experience.

The as you would expect from a Smartphone of this calibre, an impressive built in camera is provided. Boasting five mega pixels and operating at a high pixel resolution, this camera does a great job of taking high quality still images thanks to a number of built in features including Autofocus, touch focus, face & smile detection as well as geo-tagging. The camera is also sure to get the thumbs up from gadget enthusiasts thanks to the ability to shoot 720p high definition video footage at 30 frames per second.

Utilising the popular android operating system, in this case v2.1 (Eclair), the Samsung Galaxy S offers a great platform for customisation and expansion, thanks to access to Android Market, which allows users to browse and download thousands of apps.

The Samsung Galaxy S provides a great alternative to those who are looking for an alternative smartphone but may not be tempted by certain mainstream choices. It offers the full package in terms of functionality, entertainment and versatility.
