Well that was short-lived! Looks like I’m going back to using the Samsung Galaxy S as my everyday phone! All because I had to ‘condition’ the Mugen battery for the Dell Streak that I bought off eBay. The instructions said that I have to charge it for 8-12 hours, run it down to the last drops off juice, then repeat the process 4-5 times. This meant that I couldn’t bring the phone with me to the city today (had to go to the HTC HD7 launch at the Telstra Experience Centre) as I had just put it on charge, so I swapped over to my Samsung Galaxy S for the day.

Now that I’ve started using the Galaxy S, however, I’m not sure I want to go back to using the Dell Streak again! The Galaxy S is positively flying with the latest custom ROM that I’ve installed on it, which is a really nice change from the early days I had this phone when it ran like a dog! I don’t have any problems getting Facebook to authenticate in Tweetdeck like I do on the Dell Streak, the Super AMOLED screen is gorgeous, and I’ve just picked up a new bright yellow rubber case for it that makes it look like a Ferrari! BRRROOOOOMM!

I’ve also started using a new launcher: a modified version of the Sony Ericsson Arc launcher that’s running really smoothly on my Galaxy S. It lets you configure folders on the homescreen for particular categories of apps, and uses an iPhone-style app drawer for the main app screen. I’m totally digging it!
