[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
it's a lot of writing so I'll just try to sum up for a few replies:

- Voodoo b5 (or 6?) will include color fix for all brightness levels as far as I understood (yay)

- my GPS is not perfect, it works decent after updates. ive not tested the ip4 gps in depth. SGS GPS lags too much and sometimes lose all satellites. It's not always noticeable, it's good enough for many things, but it's not really very good. Before fix it was unuseable. That's why I said I can't really comment, I mean, it's not horrible but not good.

- my SGS on voodoo really flies. I don't have this lag you can see on the N1 on either phones (ip4's, the 3gs, of the few SGS's). I sort of expect all decent phones at this price level to achieve that performance to be honest. Curio's fix IMO bring the SGS to what it should be "stock"

-i've never recorded concerts etc on the SGS, just regular stuff ppl talking etc and sound is fine that way, but not really qualified to tell otherwise. in my eyes concerts recording on camera will always bring crappy sound :p

- the images from the forum say "not available". but i did review ip4 photos a lot with my photographer friend and we're quite in agreement. the sgs has a few options to make the image more vibrant or warm like the ip4 default settings, but those are fail-settings on the sgs. normal mode is the best, then you can use gimp/photoshop to change the balance, but (we) prefer original looking pics over "pre-photoshoped" colors etc

- flash i use it on vimeo mostly and it's been pretty good. scrolling with a video playing will not be smooth, but scrolling with only flash animations is np

- battery: i dont use autokiller because the design is wrong, it kills stuff from time to time, so you still lose battery, stuff is still being started and so on. not that they make the battery life worse per se. they do improve it, but it's the wrong way.

there's an option to kill "system startup" services on the sgs so i use that where necessary. for the rest of the crap it's uninstalled (see the rom patches that uninstall most of the extra for you)

my typical work day: i wake up (phone alarm, music), i go to work (listening to mp3 on the sgs) ~ 20min, i start working, eventually get a few mails or sms, til lunch time, battery is usually between 100 and 97%

at lunch might be some web, friends playing games on it etc, usually ends up at 80% after 1H non-intensive (or stays at ~97 is no use)

same again until home at 6pm, 20min of mp3 again, battery is between 75 and 90% (depending on the web/games or not really)

when it's bed time it's around 50 to 70% depending if i use it again or not. most of the time i need to charge every next day.

Now there's one thing I noticed: on the SGS when idle in GSM mode (not in WCDMA), it seems to use nearly no energy and could stay like that several days with just push apps running (imap mail eg).

when I use it (web, games etc) the battery goes down a whole lot quicker, but since i'm not using web more than 1h a day i suppose its not big deal. I say that because I think it's likely that the ip4 drains less battery in web use, but more in standby.

Didn't really test, just the feeling of it

damn i wrote a lot, too
