Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 (Super Clear LCD)

I recently changed from a HTC Desire (SLCD) to a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003, just wanted to share the pro and cons with all of you who are thinking of buying the SGSL.

Pro’s:
- 4″ SC-LCD (same resolution with HTC Desire but really looks better, maybe cause of the gorilla glass?)
- 1650mAh battery with SC-LCD (good battery life)
- 2GB ROM
- Gaming is smooth on this phone. The ROM space might be the one helping.
- Speaker is not as clear but it provides better volume
- Cheap like hell, Senheng selling at 1299, if member got 100points rebate which equals to 100 ringgit. Got mine for 1199
- Lightweight

Cons:
- multitapping seems slower in response, i cant sms just as fast as i could on a HTC device
- quite hard to sms as screen size is quite big and not comfortable in the hand
- hard to find casing and screen protector (soon this model will be obsolete and he replaced by SGSII)
- NO custom roms at the moment and as you all know TouchWiz sucks, can be replaced with launcherpro and lockscreen 2.0
- Facebook sync only sync fb status but does not sync fb picture
- Dialer can only search from front in contacts. For example if you store your contacts as “Apple – Steve Jobs” you must search for apple instead of steve. (Can be replaced by an app called “Dialer2″
- Specs mentioned track pad but when i bought from Official samsung reseller it doesnt comes with optical trackpad

If you realized, all cons are software related. Once AOSP custom ROM is released for this phone, it would be a great phone. For this price range it is the best.
