Based on more testing, I have updated the table:
Item | Importance | Samsung Galaxy S | Nokia E63 | Remarks |
---|
GPRS Connectivity | Very Important | Works Good | Rock Solid | Seems OK on Galaxy S now |
WiFi | Very Important | Works Good | Rock Solid | Seems OK on Galaxy S now |
Display | Important | Amazing AMOLED | Just OK | Samsung Wow! |
GPS | Very Important | Terrible | Solid with Holex (External) Bluetooth GPS | A Samsung Samsung Galaxy S Heartbreaker! |
Apps | Important | Enough | Not so many | Some Android apps are very cool! |
SSH Client | Very Important | Needs Improvement | Great PuTTY client | PuTTY on E63 much better than ConnectBot |
Email | Very Important | Great Gmail Integration | Just OK Nokia email | Nokia not impressive here |
Text Input | Very Important | Swype Virtual Keyboard is Cool!! | Nokia Keyboard is Great | Nokia E63 is easier with one hand |
There are some very good things about the Galaxy S Android phone, and so I will discuss them later in another table. I definitely like this phone, even with the major GPS problem. Yes, the GPS is almost useless, but there are plenty of good things about this phone that blows away the Nokia E63.
Switching between WiFi to GPRS (or GPRS to WiFi) often causes an Internet connection lockup on the Galaxy S and requires a reboot... I hope that is fixed in Android 2.2...
More on that soon....
