Just left the keynote from Samsung and spent a few minutes playing with the Galaxy S. Words cannot describe just how sharp and bright the screen is. SuperAMOLED really is that — SUPER. The 4-inch screen is the most crisp image ever seen on a handset. We watched a few minutes of video on the Galaxy S and it was superior to pretty much anything seen before.
Even as big as this phone is, it was surprisingly light — it literally felt like half a phone in hand. In terms of software, the phone comes with Layar, TeleAtlas, Swype, a document editor, an e-book reader, and more.
