I've sold off my good old Samsung Galaxy S to a good friend of mine as I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II.
20 minutes after closing the deal at the shop, I've rooted the device. LOL.
My comments:
Almost everything is as expected. The dual core Exynos 1.2 GHz processor really delivers great performance. I noticed no whatsoever lag during launching and switching of applications. The phone really 'flies'. I haven't use other Android phones before so to me, the GPS performance for this 2nd generation Galaxy S is super fast! A major jump from the failed GPS chip in the first generation. Movies and pictures on the new screen utilizing the Super Amoled Plus technology is a delightful sight to behold. Haven't tested for 1080 full HD yet. But the pictures snapped is of a good quality although not as sharp as Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc.
My only complain is that at stock factory settings, it's still using Gingerbread 2.3.3 which comes with that super horrible Android OS battery draining bug. I wonder why Samsung have yet to roll out the update to 2.3.4 which fixes that particular bug. My hands are getting itchy to flash those 2.3.4 custom roms because of this.

Flashed my Samsung Galaxy S with Doc Froyo 7.6.2
After waiting so long for the official Froyo to be available here in Malaysia, I decided to just get on with the European version. So last night, I flashed from WXJM1 (European version of Eclair) to a custom version of JPM (European version of Froyo).
The whole process was very easy although I did a small mistake that nearly gave me a heart attack - I bricked the phone, but I managed to recover. It's true that they say the phone is quite hard to actually brick it. LOL.
Now I'm testing out the lag fixes. currently using NoRFS + ext4 formatting but it seems that the battery drain is quite noticable. I've read that flashing SpeedMod kernel is enough rather than applying the lag fixes. Maybe I'll try that later.
Edit: Crap! just about 12 hours I flashed the custom Froyo, the official Froyo for Malaysia came out. zzzz
