It's not a significant upgrade, it's 3G, so video calling, and the camera is
quite a bit better. It's overall just better, but I'd not say to get someone
to pay to upgrade to it, on the other hand if it's a free upgrade...
It's just certain things on the Samsung that dont make sense I found, be it
the mis-translated software, (I imagine things have perhaps changed by now,
but a year ago, the connection software was really pretty meqioqre,) or the
very basic T9 setting that actually *forgot* that you had it on T9, and you
had to change from multipress to T9 for every individual text message you
wrote. That wasn't the only complaint, and it's been fixed in later phones
they produce now from what I've heard, but there was other things, such as
sound quality, and on and on and on.
