Thanks, I checked, it's Oct 6 2010. I thought it has been fixed (hopefully) as it has been replaced once, 上次拿去整他說我亂下載 appts 所以死機﹐但看了你所說的應該不是。。。 可是到現在我甚麼都不敢下載了﹐買了等於沒用﹐因為怕部機再死。。。 心驚肉跳﹐早知買 iphone 就算了
Ask him next time which app exactly will screw up the phone?
You should actually play with it even more, download other apps on it so that if there is a problem, you can get it fixed under warranty. Since the new mainboard fixed the SD corruption issue, it is not a bad idea at all.
Bell should have Froyo 2.2 UGJL2 firmware out, did you update it yet or still runing Elcair UGJH2?
Is your model number the i9000m or i9000? If it is the i9000M, you paid a rather high price for the phone because it is a Bell phone. If it is a i9000, it is the international version which does not have the SD card corruption issue.
Unlocking does not void the warranty (you can't see); you will void your warranty if you root/jailbreak the phone (you can see the app called Superuser). My gf's phone is unlocked and the repair shop doesn't even care. I did restore the phone back to factory before dropping off to Bell.
The last line is the Android software version for Samsung. Most Galaxy S people uses 2.2 (latest) and if you are still running 2.1, you can connect your phone to Kies (Samsung desktop software) to update it. You will notice huge speed difference.
You will like the Android once you are on 2.2 because it support flash, also the AMOLED on the Galaxy S beats the IPS screen on the iPhone. Your frustration is understandable because Android has so many options than iPhone. For example, you can connect the phone to the computer as a flash drive, can you do it on an iPhone?
Download Kies from Samsung, you just need to plug the phone in to PC, and choose Samsung Kies when the screen comes on.
Since you said your phone is unlocked, you might have the USB settings under "Debug" mode. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development, untick USB debugging. Then, in Settings go to -> About Phone -> USB settings, choose Ask on Connection. The step might be different but the options above are still there.
