Samsung Galaxy S special features video

The Samsung Galaxy S has a few quirks, but it's become one of our favourite smart phones thanks to the great big Super AMOLED screen and ever-improving Android operating system. 

There are a few key features that separate the Galaxy S from the also-rans, so check out our hands-on video to get a glimpse of the best of them. We also point out some of the phone's fails, so you know what to ignore and what to seek out.

We spotlight the combined email inbox, Facebook and Twitter feeds, and the handy shortcuts that make controlling the Galaxy S a doddle. We also show you the widgets to throw in the bin, so you don't waste your time with them.

There's a shout-out to the Galaxy S's fantastic optional keyboard, Swype, which makes typing incredibly fast, as well as the phone's frankly mind-blowing antenna performance. Check out the video above to see it all in action.
