Guys, I think this is simply a symptom of Samsung's total stuff-up of the Galaxy S...haven't you heard about and used at least one of the many fixes for the "stalling/lagging" issue??? http://techie-buzz.com/featured/fix-samsung-galaxy-s-stalling-issue.html
A terribly big, bad, and dark storm cloud of shame hangs over Samsung for that issue + the GPS issue. They've left fixing the "stalling/ lagging" issue to (what one can only assume to be more capable) developers in the community rather than addressing it themselves <golf claps> While for the GPS issue, it looks like they're addressing it themselves (fix your own mistakes FTW!): http://ausdroid.net/2010/08/14/samsung-preparing-a-gps-fix-for-galaxy-s/ Mind you, I don't think the GPS fix has been released, lol. So, lessons here are: don't confuse a manufacturer's stuff-up for a problem with Android itself ;) In fact, don't make conclusions about Android based on a single phone from a single manufacturer! And don't buy Samsung products in future until its well and truely proven that they didn't stuff-up the software royally.
