Last week I was in a bit of a bind: My mobile broadband key from 3 wasn’t getting reception, while my Optus-powered Samsung Galaxy S had enough reception to get me online, but I needed to use the laptop. Then I remembered that the Galaxy S lets you use the phone’s 3G connection as a mobile hotspot and I thought to myself, “All phones should have this feature!”
The Samsung Galaxy S is one of the new breed of super-powerful Android handsets. Running on a 1GHz processor and pre-loaded with the 2.1 version of Android, the Galaxy S is one of the best specced phones on the market today. So why then does it feel so… mid-range?
