Guys I bought a samsung galaxy sl for 20k on 2nd july 2011. I could not afford to buy the the galaxy s2 so went for this. Is my choice good? I couldnt find nexus s at this price range. People speak of many bugs with this phone. Is it really true?
1.Also regarding the GPS I guess the original galaxy s also had it right? Anyway is there a permanent fix for this?
2.Also when is the Gingerbread update for the galaxy sl through Kies?

Uhu, Not Gonna Happen!
Regarding GPS, I also find this phone difficult to lock on to satellites at times. I can happily live with this because this doesn't hamper me in any way. Apart from that I have found no "bugs" which generally people cry about.
About Nexus S, well this depends on choice. I, too, wanted Nexus S but then I saw what this phone has to offer and I changed my mind. Seriously, only "early updates" cannot outweigh other important features.
GB has yet to come to fone through official channels but work is going on because we got hands on leaked dev GB roms. They are buggy so I won't suggest you to update as of now.

XXKP7 was buggy, XXKP9 is good. Now my camera is working fine. and it seems to be fast. I like GB.

Official GB release will be by end of this month.
No fix for GPS as of now, may be they will announce later!

Nexus S was released in January or something IIRC. It had GB since then.Seriously, only "early updates" cannot outweigh other important features.
We are in July and still we don't have an official GB for Galaxy SL.
Unless you "dearly" need FM and HD recording there is nothing SL has to offer over Nexus S.

^^ Also HD recording in SL is for namesake, cause without flash, SL is a b1tch. Not a big deal for me, but when we require the most, it disappoints us.
BTW Nexus S is good in terms of softwares and updates.

With Moboplayer, it's very pathetic, it lags like anything and after few mins force close application.

Got my phone back from Samsung service, those cheats installed app called 'GPS status' on my phone and cached AGPS data on it, I was surprised to see fast locks on my phone , but actually it was because of that cached info on the phone . The limitation is that the cached info needs to be updated regularly and you need internet for it, which sucks because I am soon going to need the GPS where I will get no internet/phone network.

^^ pathetic. BTW GPS issue is an hardware issue i guess.

Gingerbread still not available even though it has been launched 7 months ago on Nexus S.
@Dharam, Get a Nexus S instead... It costs the same as this phone... has similar (or even better) hardware... You can also get the original Galaxy S.
