RE: Samsung Galaxy Europa Mobile - Opinions please!

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave_mclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,



That is now a very old phone if this is the same one? (seems to be from the
Carephonewarehouse website)



http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5500_galaxy_5-3371.php



I have not owned this one myself, preferring the later higher powered
phones
(GS3 and Note) but my friend had one about 2 year ago when it was new and
he
liked it. Bit small with only a QVGA screen and I found the screen a bit
small.  A number of apps in the market at not likely to run on this due to
the screen size and mainly the fact it is only a 600Mhz processor.



As far as I am aware, the highest Android OS for this is Froyo but there
may
be a few custom roms with Gingerbread but I have run this on a 600Mhz
processor and it runs like a dog.



If your budget can stretch it and they have a more recent phone, I would
suggest going for one of them. At least something in the 1GHz range and a
higher pixel count.



Dave.

Subject: [ukha_d] Samsung Galaxy Europa Mobile - Opinions please!






Looking at upgrading my mobile and my supplier (Three) has offered me
Samsung Galaxy Europa.
I'd appreciate any comments from anyone who has used this particular model
phone.
The features I most need are...
1) Google, maps with LIVE traffic.
2) Does GPS work well?
3) General ease of use. Any comments?

Thx
Andy
