But maybe after 2-3 months we can expect Wildfire S.
iPhone is more power efficient than any other android phone eg. HTC Desire lasts less than one day with moderate use.

who cares. let others do it. let others test it & when they say everything is fine & fully stable, download it & use it in your mobile
yes chances of getting brick is always there even if you do everything correctly. after all updates from the manufacturers themselves have bricked mobiles many times, so using a custom rom the risk is always there but thankfully, most manufacturers acknowledge their warranty without going in depth to see if the mobile is modded. also dead mobiles don't speak
so until their technician digs up logs or memory dumps & analyses it (really time consuming), they prefer to simply repair it.the one who should care about it, doesn't listen & instead went the other way of using some low grade 1200-1350mah battery with their Ace & Fit & Pop. as a result, before the users can really explore their mobile, they start looking for a plug point or calculating how much time left to reach home & how long the mobile will last.
Gingerbread "may" come. its not a guarantee but XDA already have 2-3 working gingerbread for O1 (Alpha but as users told, works fine). i don't trust any of the manufacturers, not even HTC. also if you want Optimus One just cause it offers 2days+ battery life, you may do some R&D on Ace's battery life with custom roms. if battery can't be extended beyond 30hrs, with moderate use, skip it. with time the condition will simply deteriorate.
hmmmmmmm, 11.5k is a small amount?
i'll have these 3 simple rules:
1. chance of getting mobile bricked is less.
2. can be unbricked somehow. at home only using softwares.
3. if it can't be unbricked by us or if the mobile is completely dead, customer care should offer good support.
any of these rules are not broken by the mobile, don't try to root it or play with it, whatever be its cost. these rules are made by me & for my own use. so mayn't suite you well. still sharing with everyone here
i'll prefer a modded & performance-battery optimized Froyo rom over a manufacturer released Ginga anyday. i really hate bloatwares & a modded roms perform much better than the updates (skin & themes removed).
true.
in stock state, Ace is lot better than O1. but once modded (& overclocked), O1 can take on Ace head on, provided you exclude the camera tests. even in photography, Ace isn't an Ace. its just a mediocre mobile camera. cause for 15k is high but it too got its limit.
iphone have an integrated battery isn't? & for that price, if you offer a substandard item, peoples will laugh at it (& then accept it). even if its Apple.

off the android topic.. whats the price of an iphone 2g or 3g?
and a different(might be sily) suggestion... among ur needs, u didnt mention abt calling anyone... so just get an ipod touch 3g 16GB.. very good battery.. very fast.. big screen... decent gpu... and even more apps than android... and u can get some cheap phone if u need a new phone any ways... (dont scold me.. just a suggestion )
Androids can never give u good battery. Thats a fact!

i'll go for Optimus One over Ace anyday. still no dedicated thread in XDA. low battery life. but i really want a 3.5" screen. though 3.2" shouldn't be too small for me. also i don't need camera that much.

^^ Ace was launched just yesterday in the UK & hasn't been launched in the US until now. That explains the missing section in the XDA forums.
I think they launched the phone in India early. When the handset begin shipping here, GSMArena & Phonearena were busy writing previews there.

Let me clear a few things here regarding Android & battery life
This post is a bit off-topic, bear with me
It is true that no matter whatever Android mobile you use, given that it is in stock ROM, with normal usage, it wouldn't last more than a day, from morning till night, roughly 12hrs to be precise.
Then what about people who claim their Android Mobile lasts 2days-3days blah blah blah?
Well.... Provided that you switch off background data,GPS and other lesser used Radios and provided you are ready to sacrifice some bling bling widgets and live papers for the sake of extra juice, yes in these cases, it might even last 2-3 days. This applies to both 12k Android Phones and 30K Android Phones.
To put things into perspective, My Nokia 6600 on BL5C 1020mAh battery lasts a whole week whereas the 1400mAh battery on HTC Desire hardly lasts 20hrs on Desire Z ROM.
Now coming to Samsung support, Don't ever ever rely on Samsung Updates and buy a phone, Ask any Spica user about Samsung-Android Support. They simply release models one after the other and in most cases they aren't bothered with releasing patches and updates.

even Symbian or Bada will have problem offering 2days battery life if user turns on GPS or 3G or GPRS on the whole time.
live wallpaper should be disabled, until you are going to showoff your new Android.
not always & not for every Android mobile. some (like Optimus One) lasts more than a day under moderate use & on the other hand some (Desire, Ace i.e. big screen small battery) hardly last a day.
err, massive difference between H/W of both. but 1 week is impossible for any Android. even under standby.

varoon, did you finally get the O1 ?? Pls post your experience !!
It seems Samsung will only update their mid-range android phones once. If your phone ships with froyo then you will get Gingerbread...
So G5 and G3 users only get froyo as an update....

build quality is descent. or are you talking about the slim buttons?
what problem?
i have not played Shift yet but overclocking really helps. setting up the SOC to clock at 750-760Mhz will offer a nice performance boost without affecting battery life or making the mobile hot.

Built quality i meant like home and back buttons in the grey pannel are a bit shakey.. i mean they dont feel well built
Charger problem is strange,, it was working fine since las few days bt now i have to hold the charger in a way so that it stays on charging, or else it stops quite frequently..strange !!
Can u tell me SAM how to overclock it ? do i need to root my o1
At least for Galaxy S i9000 with Gingerbread update 2.3.3:
if you go to office/work/college with a full battery in the morning, you can easily expect to be left with 30-50% battery with you exactly 12-14 hours later with moderate usage.
With Froyo, the battery was barely half this much.
For your budget, I would say go for a LG Optimus One P500 around 10.5 and save the remaining 4.5k and/or buy a 16gb microsd for around 1k. Then upgrade to a better phone after 6-9 months when the price becomes cheaper, 1 yr tops!

Peak Oil is real!
I have NFS Shift on the O1... the 39MB version of the game... Can play it well without overclocking. Good framerate...
To overclock, you have to root your phone. Then install SetCPU.
