Galaxy S has great clarity

Apple may be making the news but Android phone sales have been quietly outstripping the iPhone. I tried out Samsung's Galaxy S that is coming to the Bell network in early August and for those who didn't line up to get an iPhone 4, this is a serious contender. Flick on the four-inch (10-cm) Super AMOLED touch screen and you'll see why. The anti-smudge screen has great clarity, even in sunlight. It has a one-GHz processor, high definition video recording and a 5.0-megapixel camera with expandable memory up to 32 GB. The touch screen QWERTY keyboard has Swype technology -- instead of tapping on each key you use one continuous motion to swipe across the letters of the word you want to spell out -- a great way to speed up your touch screen typing. www.samsung.ca
