Sometimes the phone will ring and it won't let me swype answer until it is too late.

And creating a shortcut to an app on the desktop sometimes takes ages.

In any case, when you can get something 3 times faster with the same money, why would you get the slower product? I guess it is just the Super AMOLED screen that makes the difference.
I don't know if you had a chance to play with the HTC phones,
I had in my hand a Hero, Desire and Nexus One (not htc)
And they are ALL slow, less responsive, and generally less attractive imho.
If the speeds get to be on par at 2.2 when you compare the galaxy s to the others, it's fine by me. The galaxy S sports other features that I like very much.

BTW, I don't remember if I said this already, i'm running JG4 and the gps locks in 3 seconds from the moment the Nav app starts, the only place the phone hangs is when adding an application shortcut. To be honest, I only did that 3 times in total, and it only hanged on the 1st time.

For the price the galaxy S costs, really, this is amazing.
