Hi, I'm new here, and I'm getting a new phone soon. I'm thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy Ace, it would be my first Android phone. I'm probably gonna go with Koodo, but they don't have alot of phones, although the Ace does seem pretty good.
There are just a few things that are bothering me, and I figure you guys would be able to help me out:
- Is battery life a problem? I'll be texting mostly, with a bit of calling, and a bit of wifi. I don't want it dying on me during the day, but I don't really mind charging it every night (as long as charging doesn't take too long).
- Is it a big issue that the phone can't run Adobe Flash? I wouldn't use the internet TOO much on my phone, but would I still be able to download and play games off the Marketplace?
- Is the small internal memory a problem? I heard that you can move apps to an SD card, but I'll probably only have a 4 GB SD card. About how large is an app?
- Does data have to be enabled for picture/video messages? Or can they be sent over wifi?
- Is the phone reliable? Has anyone had to send it in for repairs? Does it crash? I have a friend with an LG Shine Plus, and his messaging app always crashes, causing all his messages to be lost. Let me know of any problem you have encountered.
I realize it is not going to be an absolutely amazing phone, since its only $200, but I don't want to regret buying it, since I'll be using it for at least two years. Thanks.
