Celcom offers New Samsung Galaxy SL
All these while I’ve been targeting for Android phone and the particular model Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) but now there’s a newer model Samsung Galaxy SL (GT-I9003) and yes I get to use it and experience it for few days! It’s really an awesome and affordable phone!
Nowadays phone is very important to me so that I could get connected to the world and my friends. If without a phone I think I will not survive… I use Whatsapp and PingChat!, Twitter and Facebook on my mobile a lot and this is my only dose to keep me entertain and will not feel lonely as I get to see my friends updates and get myself updated to the world news. =)
Celcom is now offering the latest Samsung Galaxy SL. So what’s with the different between Samsung Galaxy S vs Samsung Galaxy SL?
It’s pretty much same as the Samsung Galaxy S, but the different between the 2 model is Samsung Galaxy SL using Super Clear LCD instead of Super AMOLED screen which can be found in Samsung Galaxy S. Also there’s a slight increase of the size and thickness of the Galaxy SL to fit the bigger capacity battery, from 1500 mAh to 1650 mAh. In addition, there is also an increase of about 10% (119g to 131g) on the weight of Galaxy SL.
It is powered by a 1 GHz TI OMAP 3630 instead of the original Hummingbird processor. Unlike the Galaxy S, the Galaxy SL comes with 4GB internal storage with Android 2.2 (Froyo) preloaded.

Minor disadvantages

Skype is not available for Celcom GT-I9003 when I want to try Skype on this Phone. Any idea if Skype is compatible with this phone? Thanks.
