With MWC almost within touching distance, Samsung has introduced the newest member of its popular Galaxy gang – the Galaxy S Advance.
Constructed along similar lines to the original Galaxy S model but with a curved design, the Advance version packs a decent punch for a smaller price.
The phone boasts a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and front-facing 1.3-megapixel snapper, HSPA 14.4 M...

Samsung Galaxy S deals on contract
Flagship smartphones are getting fever-pitch outings from the major players especially in the Android world. The number two world leader Samsung may be late in joining the Android bandwagon but it’s certainly catching up. Its Android line of smartphones gets beefed up with handsets that are literally a Galaxy of stars one of which is the i9000 Galaxy S.
High End Features to the Max
The Samsung i9000 Galaxy S has pretty much everything you can expect from a flagship phone, Android or not. It has all the data connectivity options with high end features that manage to have room for one more feature to top them all. That is its 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with Half-VGA resolution, 16 million colors and multitouch data input technology that finally can challenge the iPhone’s dominance in this area.
It sports the familiar TouchWiz UI with Swype Text features possible only with a multitouch capacitive touchscreen and comes with the usual gravity accelerometer for auto rotate viewing and a proximity sensor for touchscreen auto-disable in a call.
The Galaxy S is a 3G phone on the tri band UMTS (900/ 1900/ 2100) with a US version for AT&T and is also a 2G phone on the quad band GSM (850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900) for a seamless international roaming on the GSM network. Data connectivity gets HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA at 5.7 Mbps on 3G and class 12 GPRS/EDGE on the 2.5G network which offer broadband internet speeds on either networks.

Onboard memory is a generous 8GB with microSD expandability for up to 32 GB. Its Android 2.1 Éclair platform sits on an ARM Cortex A8 processor clocked at 1 GHz to rival the Snapdragon. As a messaging phone, the Galaxy S is preloaded with messaging tools like Gmail, Push Email and instant messaging with Google talk as well as YouTube and Picasa integration for media file sharing online.
Its WiFi 802.11b/g support at 54 Mbps data speeds for hotspot surfing completes your internet surfing choices so you can get a GPRS or 3G data plan as well as a WiFi subscription from your carrier. A local data transfer gets a cutting edge Bluetooth 3.0 at an astounding 24 Mbps and microUSB 2.0 for wireless and wired options. A GPS receiver is built-in with A-GPS support and gets preloaded with Google Maps for your SatNav needs.
Imaging on the Galaxy S gets a digicam with 5-megapixel resolution, autofocus and touchfocus, geo tagging, face/smile detection and a stunning high definition 720p HD video recording at a cinema grade 30fps. You also get a secondary front-facing video call camera with VGA resolution.
Mobile entertainment gets the usual stereo FM receiver with RDS and the media players for MP4, DivX, WMV and H.264/H.263 video file codecs and audio files in the MP3, WAV, eAAC+, AC3 and FLAC player. What stands out is its support for high definition container format DivX as well as a lossless audio file compression coded FLAC whose CD-quality sound gets fully appreciated from its 3.5mm headphone jack using your favorite high fidelity headphones. This is how smartphones with FLAC support should be, unlike some so called Walkman music phone with FLAC but has no 3.5mm jacks.
