Enjoy it for the first 6 months. Typicaly after that Samsungs tend to have issues. Nothing major but the file system isn't the fastest and after some time they tend to get glitchy. Nothing major but the smooth opperation becomes less smooth.

I speak from experiance. I had two Samsung's recently (charge,and I forget the other one) and currently work with 4 people who have the Galaxy. Three of the four are having minor issues. Freazing, slow to change on a occation. We are hard on our phones at work with dirt, dust, and lots of use but Samsung is commonly known to not stay flawless for long.

I personaly like Motorola and my Razr is almost a year old without issues.

Good luck with your phone and hope it doesn't fall to the same fate that most do.

I like iPhones.




No phone thread is complete until someone chimes in that they like something different.

We have had plenty of threads of all of the downsides of the iphone. Be smart stay Droid just stick with motorola. HTC is also good too. I just know for a fact that many differant motorolas are all well known for great reliablility and longevity.
