The Samsung Galaxy S would be exactly that phone if it weren't for the bugs that make it lag badly. Root it and install Froyo, though, and it is a beauty.

I don't know how true the rumours of a Samsung-made Nexus are, but I wouldn't be surprised given the quality of the Galaxy's hardware.




Look for "Ryan's One Click lag fix" in the market, run it and you are done.

With that it's been fine for me - I still haven't bothered to install Froyo.


Too bad the GPS is still worthless.


There's a fix for that too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728894

(TL;DR: Use the google service instead of whatever they replaced it with. Who could have guessed..)


Yes, I did that, and it fixed the lag. Froyo is even better.
