This looks like a Beastly phone, but i just don't understand why they left off the flash for the camera.. I mean unless it magically takes good pics in low light conditions, then this makes it an automatic NO for me... And the only thing i really don't like besides that is that it has touchwiz over it and they made the UI look too much like the iphone, but I could live with that. But no LED Flash kills it for me
