Unfortunately, because the hardware is new enough not to have any custom ROMs available, anyone who owns one of these phones is stuck on Android 2.3.3, and that rev of the OS happens to have a few kernel bugs that cause significant battery drain. Still no ETA on a 2.3.4 update for the phone, despite the fact that other phones have had it for weeks.
This and other examples of bad customer support from Samsung kind of dampen the appeal of the hardware. At this point, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new phone. It's particularly embarrassing that they shipped these devices even though the power drain issues should have been detected during QA.
