I've had the 8gb model for over a year now and it seems to be rather slower than I'd like it to be, no doubt a side-effect of it running Symbian. The trouble is, Samsung's support appears to be non-existent (or I just haven't been able to locate it). For ages it used to hang for over a minute while sending a text (a known bug with a fix for Nokia phones). This problem seems to have mysteriously fixed itself in the last month or so.
However, the photo gallery is utterly unusable and has been for some time. I bought the phone for its camera and to store a lot of photos (it's got something like 400 pictures on it at the moment), but the gallery takes about 2 minutes to appear on screen, and 30 seconds to scroll through a couple of photos once it has appeared. I don't want to just archive them onto my PC (assuming it's the number of photos that's the issue) as that's not why I bought the phone.
Has anyone else got this phone and had a similar problem?
