Got a chance to check out samsung galaxy mini. First impression: Has a small screen 3'14"! But, once you actually see it, it's very very impressive. Unlike other phones with even 3.2" screens, the screen on this phone looks a tad bigger, thanks to more width. Hence typing is definitely easier on this phone. In fact, swype worked very well on this phone. The resolution on the phone isn't anything to talk about but decent enough. The touch response is excellent, couldn't have expected better from a cheap phone. Slide your fingers slowly on the phone to unlock it, and it unlocks pretty quick! You have live wallpapers adding to background on the screen.
It has a very fast 600 MHz processor, which in my opinion runs faster than that on the galaxy fit. Playing raging thunder was easy on the phone with no halts as such. The phone has a good grip at the back, however the one on fit is much better, it gives a better feel. I am definitely a fan of press buttons on the front panel. The camera is 3MP and decent enough, didn't see anything different in it. Had used it for nearly 5 hours continuously, using wifi and net browsing and applications and the battery went from 100% down to 39%. I am very sure the battery is not enough for this phone and samsung could've given a better battery backup.
In all, the phone packs in excellent features, very fast processor, decent camera and great apps.

I don't think a review based on five hours use is particularly useful sorry
