The Samsung Galaxy Apollo has a few disadvantages though:
The Phone resolution is poor with bad sun light legibility, Editing complex documents is way too slow and needs a beefier CPU, no flash support, and the video recording is poor.
So as Samsung packs an Android powered punch to the Canadian smart phone market you have to wonder what else the Samsung Galaxy has to offer.
