Samsung Galaxy ACE s530i : A review

Well it’s been a week I am using my first Android phone, I was thinking to write a blog post on it. About my experience of using it. As previously I was an avid user of Symbian S60 family cell phones. What features Android gave me to forget Symbian easily, and what thing I am lacking it that some time reminds me about the blessings of Symbian.

Let’s have a look.

overview Display and Look : Outstanding

No Support of Connectivity with Adhoc Networks : Samsung Galaxy Ace can not scan the adhoc networks around you

Installing Apps:  Android market is the way
