@Original Nosebleed Samung's dumbphones aren't exciting, but Galaxy S>=exciting, at least to me. Super AMOLED + hummingbird + Android....um that >= exciting.
I know consumers have been burned by Sammy, I might be next, but ignoring that fact that's maybe too large to ignore this phone is just so under-reported. I go elsewhere to get updates. It might go to 4 carriers, latest rumors/revelations have it having a front-facing camera for video in addition to it's 5mp on back.
@juanvaldez: no flash on the camera though, that's just poor.
And I'm sorry but Samsung's UI is awful - they drag everything down to the level of their dumphones, making it look like it was designed for a child to use. The only Samsung worth buying would be either an Android handset, so you could put on something decent like Sense or a WinPho7 handset, because they wouldn't've had the opportunity to screw the UI up.
@Step666 Yeah, well, I happened to bring up an Android device...If I were into WP7 I would be willing to wait to see what both Samsung and HTC put together, but Windows is obviously still working out the kinks even if they have some good things going on.
@juanvaldez I owned a Samsung feature phone and I now have the Omnia i8910. In short, I'm done with their abandon-ware. Samsung makes excellent TVs and refrigerators, but they don't seem to understand the needs of maintaining a smart phone with customer post sales support. These things often need multiple firmware updates to fix initial bugs.

With Iphones 4g's Htc evo 4's and Window 7 phones round the corner Nokia Samsung and Sony phone's don't excite me anymore
