Samsung Galaxy S Kies 2 Issue

[baz]

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Android phone. I tried to install the Samsung Kies synchronisation software on my laptop. Although the Kies software installed, I found that I could not run the application as when I clicked on the shortcut, I received the following error:

Fatal error
Cannot find resource named '{stl_fvs}'. Resource names are case
sensitive. Error at object 'System.Windows.Setter' in markup file
'Kies.Theme;component/Resources/Theme_Default/Default_ToggleBut
ton.xaml'.

The solution?

It turns out that I had Microsoft .Net version 3.5 SP1 on my laptop.

I uninstalled this via the Control Panel and uninstalled the Kies version 2.0.0.0.11011_16_5 as well.

I then proceeded to reboot and reinstall the Kies and voila, it worked! I can now synchronise my phone and my laptop.

Just thought I would share this with members of the forum who may be thinking of getting the Galaxy S, which is an excellent phone for people like me who wish to be a bit different from the iPhone crowd.

Another thing, According to The Register, Galaxy S owners who accept Samsung's offer of updated firmware will invalidate their warranty according to Vodafone, which wishes to remain the only source of official upgrades.

Even I'm in the ''non-iphone user''  minority group. I recently bought Samsung (Google) Nexus S. I haven't synchronised  it with my laptop yet. But I managed to get full contact list on the phone via gmail account. Phone has been good so far. But I must say that 3G signal quality is not as good as my old Nokia 5800.

According to what I've been reading in the press recently, non-iPhoners are no longer the minority
