Seems it never bothers to re-check them. Bummer, I have bandwidth aplenty. Also, the music player doesn’t grok UTF-8 ID3 tags (only the scarcely used UTF-16?! so it shows garbled characters), frequently skips while playing Ogg songs, and doesn’t support Ogg album art. Other than that, I’m pretty satisfied, it’s a good upgrade from my G600, and I like being able to customise it with apps of my liking. Never had a Blackberry or IPhone so I guess I don’t know what I’m missing :). But I would agree with the sentiment that most of the built-in applications have an ‘unpolished’, quick-job feel to them. I hope Android 1.6 or 2.0 will fix some of my issues (if Samsung ever releases it), but… Well, I guess we’ll see.
