@TimoMuse Hello there, when I purchased this phone it was not possible so I upgraded to a S2, from some replies I noticed this issue is meant to of been resolved.
@AHproductions00 well i have the purple one and mine came with a black extra cover and umm mine has metal on sides and it's kind of heavy but anywayz really nice and cool phone deserves to buy it :D
@mrix2000 Oh yeah on contract its a little more but dont forget times that by 24 (months) on payg its about 280 quid more. It would be daft to get high a high spec phone like that on payg though i guess
Thinking about getting this phone.. But; all the reviews I've read say that the battery life isn't very good. And that it's jumpy (Like, when flicking through pages and that) but it seemed to be fine with you..
I mean; it's a sexy phone and I'd really like it..
I found your review helpful- But, how would you rate the battery life? After having it for a while..
And is it an easy phone to get used to and use? (Unlike a Blackberry!!!)
Hello this phone is not bad and very easy to use like many models of samsung, the processor is 800ghz so and I had problems with flash movies... I would honestly go with the Samsung W, much faster processor no problem with flash and is running the same android. I just purchases the W for my son and I was surprised how good it is, pretty close to my S2! Best of luck in whatever you decide!
@emoyaoi69 hey i just got this phone its really nice, scrolling and flicking throught the web and pages is great for battery life im guessing that its cos most people have wrecked the battery by not charging it to its fullest for the first time and letting it die completely on the first charge, if you dont do these to simple steps the battery life will end qicker.
Should I get the SamsungGalaxy Ace or the Googles NexusS. Im aware that the nexus is obviously a better phone in practically all fields when compared to the ace, the real difference for me is: ace is cheaper and would get used for considerably less time (ill pretty much keep it till till the iPhone5 is out,or at least till I've run a decent duration of my tab on Koodo.) the nexus on the other hand would be kept around considerably longer due to it running android 4.0 as well simply being better.
@Linkinpork989 In all honesty I would go for the Samsung Galaxy W if you can get a good contract deal, Just purchased one for a family member and its not much difference from my Samsung Galaxy S2 which cost far more! I got the Samsung Galaxy W on contract for just £16 a month which was initially what I was paying for the ACE. I upgraded from the ACE as the ACE had problems playing flash videos at the time. The W also has a much faster processor which helps when playing videos, movies and Games
Hello, strange comparison ? iphone4s is a top of the market phone compared to the ACE which is middle of the road, the ace will cost you less than half the price of the iphone4s.
Running Flash on this phone is also possible. You just need to root the phone and overwrite the stock firmware with some other. I know, this is not something everyone wants to do, but still an option. Another drawback, phone doesn't have a gorilla glass display, which is a bit pitty. As far as Ice Cream Sandwich A., an update should come in 6-8 months roughly. All over, this is definitaly a bargain for the momey (Ive already got one too :]])
Also camera and sound recording is qguite good. You can actually hear whispering fron 2-3 metres. I mean its not a camera in any way but good enough for pone with pice that low
Bought one for my mom, and to be fair this 120£ phone kicked my iphone 3g ass big time. This is the first time i am actually thinking of getting android phone instead of waiting till ipone 5 is released. The pho is awesome for that price. Strongly recommended.
omg i had that samsung and i was gonna get the htc wildfire s but i fort no thets get the samsung galexy ace so i lokked for reviews on youtube and here i am now :) wiked
Bit beyond me really, but only because I just want a phone to make the odd, not Odd, calls ;) I can see how my daughter, or son may like this type of phone as it's the sort of set-up they're in to. There I go, just an old fossil speaking :D
Just a heads up guys and gales this phone cannot install flash player so if you were interested in using it for TV programs and other application that need Flash to be installed stay clear of this phone! I have been told they are trying to fix this issue with a firmware upgrade, I was not prepared to wait as it was a brand New phone so decided to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S2 which basically does everything you could ask from a phone, even make calls! Please watch my Samsung Galaxy S2 video.
@mrix2000 that's not strictly true. There is not an official flash for the Samsung galaxy ace but there are flash.apk's released by developers, 10.1, 10.2,10.3 and 11 flash are fully working. There will be no official firmware update to fix this either. It often pays to do some research. In this case about £15 a month.
When the video was made and I actually owned the phone there was a problem with flash even when I downloaded the various .apk`s, I have now idea if they now are working fine but if that`s the case its all good!
@mrix2000 true, the galaxy s2 s a better phone but the thing is it is far more expensive. for a lot of people like my self it's just not in our price range.
@HitTheMac I am not sure what quote you used of mine but I would not of quoted the S2 but the Galaxy W which is a far better phone but more expensive unless you are with Virgin and on contract, its only £1 more expensive a month than the ACE, so its a much better deal, if you shop around you might find similar.
