My Samsung Galaxy Ace Review
Must Have Android Collectibles
I have not owned a Smart Phone before
This is my old phone. Its a Nokia. Its really, really old and outdated as you can see. I didn't see the need to upgrade the phone as long as it could make and receive calls.
My old phone was really outdated. I guess you could call me a techy sort of person since I have been blogging for 7 years. I have 5 blogs and 60 Squidoo lenses. This one makes it 61. I also make use of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google+ regularly. However, that was how my old phone looked. It didn't even have a camera but that was ok with me. It certainly didn't have the ability to access FB or Twitter on the go but I'm not a FB or Twitter addict, only a Squidoo one.
It was not that I had any sentimental feelings towards my old phone. I just didn't think it was worthwhile to upgrade. However, now that we have Smart Phones, I DO think it is worh while to upgrade. Yes, it definitely is worthwhile because you can do so much more with your phone now.
The Smart Phones of today is so very different from the old handphones of yesterday... and it is here to stay.
Introduction to my Samsung Galaxy Ace
Meet the Front of my Samsung Galaxy Ace
Merry Christmas! I took a photo of this grand Christmas tree at a Shopping Mall. I think it looks lovely as a wallpaper for my phone. I removed most of the icons so that I can enjoy my picture without distractions.
However, the best part is, I can have multiple homepages. This homepage is the one with minimal icons. I have another homepage for regular contacts, one for news, one for my emails, and one for my apps.
I can't stop playing with my new phone. So many things to learn. So much power in this little thing.
Introduction to my Samsung Galaxy Ace
Meet the back of my Samsung Galaxy Ace
This is the back of my Samsung Galaxy Ace. It is white. The front is Jet Black and Shiny like my upright piano.
The back looks rather like my compact face powder.... only slimmer as you can see in this picture. Fortunately it comes with another black matte patterned back that is interchangeable.
I will probably change my Samsung Galaxy Ace Skin later so that I don't pick up my phone to powder my face.
I love the Market for the Android Apps
I can get many free apps from my Samsung Galaxy Ace phone
After familiarizing myself with my new Samsung Galaxy Ace, I immediately went shopping. Only, I didn't have to pay for my purchases.
I can get many free and fantastic android apps from my Samsung Galaxy Ace phone. There is a little market icon that you can click on to go shopping for apps. It looks like a little shopping bag. So I went on a shopping spree for apps.
I found this magazine app. I love it and will talk about it a little later on. I also got a learning Chinese app for my kids. It was a free Chinese and English bilingual audio book.
Its fantastic. There is no turning back now. I am hooked on my new Smartphone!
My Samsung Galaxy Ace is like an ebook
My Samsung Galaxy Ace is also like an ebook. I can read news articles, books and magazines on my phone.
I am using this really cool news app called Pulse. Apart from Pulse, I am using Zinio to read magazines and the Aldiko eBook Reader to read free books from my Samsung Galaxy Ace. You can find the links to all of these great apps below under the heading "Apps I love On My Samsung Galaxy Ace".
I can read digital magazines and daily news from my new ebook. No, I meant from my new Samsung Galaxy Ace.
I can read it vertically or horizontally or make the fonts really big for my aging eyes.
My Samsung Galaxy Ace Camera
I took this photo last night from my Samsung Galaxy Ace camera. Its beautiful isn't it? I meant my Samsung Galaxy Ace phone.
Its beautiful indeed that such a little thing can take lovely pictures like this. Its a 5 Mega Pixels Camera by the way.
The camera has many settings. Its just like a regular camera. I don't need to remember to bring my heavy camera for ocassions anymore. Its so convenient. I can take pictures indoors or outdoors, during the day or during the night. The results are quite nice as you can see.
If you really MUST read more details about the camera, go here for the Samsung Galaxy Ace Camera Review.

Its simply incredible. Here's another look at the picture of the Christmas Tree I took for my wallpaper.

Teething Problems with my Samsung Galaxy Ace
While trying to update my phone software, I somehow lost my SD Card or rather the phone or software could not locate my SD card and therefore could not find any photos in my galery. I fiddled around with it a bit and to my horror, the screen turned black!
The thing about smart phones and digital photos and such is, it really can be quite scary how you can lose things in the blink of an eye of you are not careful. You have to be a little 'smart' yourself to handle a smart phone. By that, I mean you need a little basic knowledge but its not that bad really. Just get the man at the store or a tech savvy neigbour, friend or relative to help you.
Fortunately, I got back everything in a few clicks. Phew!
I also tried to download the Google+ app. I do love Google but it freaked me out, how well it knew me. So I deleted that but I kept my iGoogle bookmark and my Google Gmail around for easy access.
In fact its quite astonishing and remarkable how well my phone knows me just by adding and putting a few accounts in sync.
