Today I finally made the decision and retired my (still in good shape) Nokia N900 and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S at the local store.
After charging it and applying the ext4 lag fix I was good to go.
(Showing that the lagfix installed without any problems whatsoever got one of my colleagues to install it as well, by the way. He was impressed!)
I haven’t had the chance yet to play too much with it, but my first observations are that support for Exchange 2003 seems to suck, and Skype doesn’t like the Galaxy S either, for now…
Otherwise a brilliant device! 😎
Looking forward to putting Froyo on it when/if Samsung finally releases it…
