I have been a follower of the galaxy s lineup since the launch of the Vibrant for T-Mobile. It really seems as if Samsung has really listened to their customers as many of the complaints people have had with it's predecessor have been resolved. The phone does feel a little plasticky/cheap, however I had dropped it on accident already and it works perfectly fine. The phone performs like a dream. As for those complaining about not having a micro SD card packed in it, "C/mon", give them a break... they are giving you 16gb of internal memory. That is a lot more than most other devices come packed with. And if you are one that already has an Android OS device, chances are you probably already have a micro SD card to use.
This phone isn't perfect, but it is about as close as you could ever expect it. If you are looking for a phone that will last you until the end of your contract, then this phone is for you. It is powerful, beautiful and it just rocks. This is the best phone on the market!
