Yea, that is what Samsung do. It will have a lot of cool features, but it will miss some basic features and they mess up with menu arrangements. The availability of software and accessories to a Samsung phone is tedious.
I had a classic samsung phone SGH-C210 till last month I purchased a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. C210 was my first phone in life and I love it. It is very light(69 g) sleek and think beautiful bar type phone. It can go anywhere even in tight pockets.. It had fall down 100s of times, still working fine. I purchased it 4 years ago with a cheap and best budget.
The blunders made by Samsung in this phone are given below.
Cannot copy all contacts from phone to SIM or vice versa. We have to copy each numbers!
There is no way to goto next line while you type a text message :)
No Alarm snooze option.
No profiles, but the ring options can be directly changed.
No complete silent options, either ring or vibrate or ring + vibrate.
The ok button is set to internet, where as Nokia use it for displaying menus. When we accidentally press that button, it will connect to internet and money gone.
You can see a guy wrote review of this phone .. funny!

My Nokia 5800 XM do better, it lacks PDF & Ofiice document viewer/editors. But I like it.
Peace.

Every phone is different right down to the features. No two phones are the same. For example I have a samsung highlite, but it doesn't have the voice option when I dial.. Previous vesions did as well as a changeable high contrast option. I can change the contrast with my messages, but they would all appear to my friends as picture messages so I simply delt with it because I didn't want to exclude my friends and my messages would read the same. So... I let it go.
Point is, the complaints I have are minor compared, and two versions of the same brand of phone. Personally I wouldn't complain and stick with the brand you're used to. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about featurs as long as it performs the way you expect. that's what I would do anyway.

I used various samsung phones in the past before I shifted to my iphone. But based on my experience, samsung performed very well. I didn't have any problems about the features and it longevity, in fact I was even able to still sell it for a good price even after 2 years of use. For me, I can say that samsung phones are considered as one of the good phones in the market.
