This is the best phone I have ever had the pleasure to play with. The design is simply awesome & extremely aerodynamic looking. In my opinion it wipes the iphone out. Amazing phone, if Samsung continues with this it will take over!

I have used almost all Samsung mobiles, this mobile may be is the best, I just need information on application viewing if there any edit in work & excel sheets files. The mobiles releasing in UK it take very long, it is a long list to wait for. There is many smart mobiles I am waiting for not released in the UK market, I am paying my mobiles from UK.
