Though it wasn't announced at Mobile World Congress, the show offered CNET its first opportunity to handle the Samsung Galaxy S 4G.

Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
The Galaxy S 4G looks a lot like Samsung's earlier Galaxy S handset the Samsung Vibrant. The 4-inch Super AMOLED display is lovely, and you can customize the seven home screens. Below the display are four touch controls, while the second camera lens sits just above.

The Froyo-equipped handset has a virtual keyboard, but you can use the Swype feature if you wish.

The Galaxy S 4G has a trim profile, but its construction feels rather fragile.

The back cover feels a bit flimsy as well. The main camera lens is in the top left corner.

We're glad to see the standard 3.5mm headset jack up top.
