Having pondered for many hours, wondering which smartphone to buy and trawling through many reviews online, I settled on the Samsung Galaxy.

So why did I choose this one? Well my prerequisite was for business use, geared around IT computer support and this phone, on paper, seemed to fit the bill.

Having bought the 8gb version, on a contract basis, I was ready to go.  First impressions, out of the box, were impressive, the long slim chassis and the clarity of the AMOLED screen is second to none, very impressive.

The screen resolution and quality were very important as I needed the phone for remotely accessing our customers' servers and work stations via the device, so troubleshooting and computer support on the go was great.  Storage came internally with 8gb, however  I knew I could upgrade it to a 32gb which is unlike some of the other smartphones I looked at. This is very handy for storing all my troubleshooting tools and software.

Using Google Apps here at iPing, setting up my email through the device was so easy, I entered my username and password and that was amazingly it. It synced all my email and contacts flawlessly, and using the email is so easy, again very handy when on the go and you need to reply to your customers' IT computer support queries quickly and efficiently.

The camera however doesn't have a flash. For my purposes it didn't really matter.  It is very easy to use and has plenty of features and shows a great quality image, very handy when onsite providing IT support and you need a shot of a blue screen on a server or pc.

There are so many other tools and capabilities on the Galaxy, too many to mention.The Galaxy has definitely proved it's capabilities and it will only get better as time goes by with OS updates being released periodically.
