I have decided my next phone I am getting is the Galaxy S. Either late December or January.
I would like to know if anyone has been on this phone and what they think of it - I spent about 5 mins on it in the O2 shop and I think its great!
This however does not mean I will be leaving the project. I will be happy to continue doing graphics or whatever else is needed.

Personally, even tho they are really nice for me there is a couple of issues with the galaxy S.
1) It's Samsung, and I'd never by another Samsung phone again because they just suck at software updates. Froyo isn't even available yet for the Galaxy S. Also Samsung are going to be concentrating more in WM7 phones so tends to make me dubious on how interested they will be in doing android updates.
2) GPS - Galaxy S are well known for their GPS issues which they don't seem able to fix. Funnily enough they have changed (this week) both the GPS and wifi antenna in the upcoming Nexus S. Wouldn't surprise me if they were using the same ones as the Galaxy S and just can't fix the problem and/or google told them to get their sh*t together.
3) Not a hardware problem but they insist on using YAFFS2 file system which is just horrible and ruins what otherwise would be very good phone hardware wise.
However, the Nexus S does interest me, if it is dual core, doesn't use YAFFS2, doesn't have GPS problems and google are definately handling ALL the updates then there is where my ££ might go.
