Samsung Galaxy S

The Samsung Galaxy S i9000 is a stellar Android smartphone packed with powerful technology. Whether you’re new to smartphones or a seasoned pro, you’ll enjoy using this beautiful, state-of-the-art device.

Part of what makes Galaxy S so special is the 4 inch super AMOLED display, which is brighter, faster and less reflective than a traditional touchscreen. It’s great for watching HD movies or browsing detailed websites. As you’ll be tapping away on your mobile all the time, make sure to invest in a screen protector, which will ward off dust, scratches and fingerprints.

It’s easy to get to grips with Galaxy S, even if you’re new to touchscreen phones and Android features. The speedy 1GHz processor and simple Touchwiz 3.0 interface let you quickly find features, set shortcuts, and personalise each of the 7 home screens with your favourite apps.

Samsung social hub makes communicating easier. This online widget sits on your homescreen and works in the background, delivering text messages, emails, social network updates and IMs as soon as they arrive. Social hub syncs two ways with your phone and your PC, so it will show you up-to-date contact information and calendar events, in one simple view.

Received a message? Respond in seconds with the easy editor, which features Swype for text. This simple yet brilliant app allows you to hold your finger over the keyboard and swipe from letter to letter; constructing whole messages in one go!

Tap the shopping bag icon to visit Android Market™, the online store with over 70,000 apps, games and smartphone services. Galaxy S also gives you one-touch access to Samsung Apps, where you’ll find lots of tailor made content for your Samsung phone. Adding a microSD memory card, up to 32GB, will give you more storage space for apps, movies and fun stuff.

The Samsung Galaxy S lets you enjoy a better internet experience while away from your laptop or PC. The large, bright screen and fast Wi-Fi connection make it easy to comfortably view websites, download content or stream videos. You can also open multiple websites, switch between tabs, and zoom in or out of details just by pinching the screen!

Discover thousands of best-selling titles with the pre-installed e-book reader, and turn your phone into a digital library of brilliant books. If you’re partial to reading during the morning commute, why not purchase a battery extender pack (sold separately), and enjoy hours more reading power while on the move.

Samsung Galaxy S is everything you need to enjoy life on the go. It’s a great phone that will keep you in sync with all of your contacts and networks, but it’s also more than that. Whether you want to visit your favourite websites, take flawless photos and make HD videos, or relax with your favourite tunes and movies, Galaxy S puts everything you love right at your fingertips. The powerful Samsung sound engine, awesome built-in speakers and Divx-compatible media player take mobile media playback to a whole new level. As this mobile marvel is about to become your new best friend, make sure to protect it with a Samsung Galaxy S case, designed especially for your smartphone.
