Too bad the Galaxy Ace doesn’t have a front-facing camera. It would have easily been the phone of my dreams; never mind its being an iPhone ripoff and all.

I think the reason why Samsung limited the screen resolution is for market strategy. And also to maintain prin ung fone sa mid-range db. Imagine if it has 400×800 screen and 1Ghz CPU, then, High-end phones na un. =) So hayaan na ung specs nia, coz it is competing for other mid-range fones. :)

The Galaxy Ace looks like a clone of the Iphone. Except for the display everything seems to be ok and priced competitively.

ang nakakabitin sa Samsung mid range android phone ay — internal storage AND memory (RAM)

kahit may mga App2SD ka… hirap naman mapatakbo yun mga memory-intensive apps, esp. games.

@Triangulo. . MWC Stands for Mobile World Congree. 8)

Galaxy Ace looks like a Cheap iPhone 4 Knocke of. Pero Ayos yung specs nya. Low-res lang ang screen and sana AMOLED naman. kahit hindi Super. I want it. Pero I’ll wait muna sa MWC. Kaya ko pa magtiyaga! 8))

Wave 2 is a far superior handset than Ace hardware-wise. If only because of BADA OS’s few repertoire of quality apps.

Ace should be officially priced like how cmk priced it!

di ba pareho lang processor ng Ace at Gio? Pero mas mataas ang ibang specs ng Ace.

Hay nako these models are here to fill the gap in the midrange market so for those complaining about the specs I think you need to look somewhere else…

Sayang yung gpu kung walang matinong driver parang yung nangyari sa spica

For that price i’d rather be getting the moto defy, but motorola’s motoblur feature slows the heck out of the device.

I’d like to see the Ace up-close. I showed the pic to a lot of my friends and while some of them laughed it off at being an iPhone 4 knock-off, others were in awe, it being a lot like the iPhone 4, LOL.
