GT-S5830i ?

[BanditCam62]

Hi.

I had a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 and it developed a spot on the camera!
It was returned and I was send a new phone, it is also a Galaxy Ace but the number is GT-S5830i, reason I noticed was the data connection on and off was missing from the power / lock key. The box says faster 832mHz cpu, is this a newer version of this GT-S5830?

Just curious

cheers, Rob

Last month they announced this ver as an update for this phone for India but its never been available in India http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...5830i-getting-android-2-3-6-update-india.html But the increased CPU speed is news to me.
Looks like Samsung has got its geography mixed up.

good news... we all GT-S5830 users were fighting for the 2.3.6 update thinking there is no model like GT-S5830i. Now we are clear that these are 2 different models and no update for the older version (GT-S5830)

It may just have been released last week, I bought the S5830 from a local Tesco store on contract it developed a camera fault after a week and they had none to replace it, so I got a refund and ordered a new one online, I noticed there were no screen slider buttons from standby and the camera had some new settings like preview etc, otherwise I cant see much difference!

cheers

I have read the the GT-S5830i has no 640x480 video recording option, I myself cant record in that resolution. Am I stuck with 320x240?

yes that's correct, 320x240 & 176x144 only!
