Love your Galaxy S phone but hate TouchWiz 3.0? Fear not Galaxy S users, for there are some very crafty people working on getting vanilla Android 2.1 working on your precious Hummingbird driven devices. It’s not exactly working 100% though, with the biggest bug being the camera. It doesn’t work… at all. But anyway, once all of the kinks get worked out, who’s ready to jump on some plane-jane Android for their Galaxy S? Let us know in the comments and click on after the break for the video.

I would have thought Galaxy S users would find the addition of a camera flash far more to their liking. Until that comes about the HTC Desire (with 2.2) still owns them!

Too little, too late. My Captivate goes back tomorrow and I’m the “pilot” user for a new DroidX and possible corporate transition off AT&T to Verizon.

The kicker is that the Galaxy S platform IMHO is > DroidX. I just plain like the gorgeous (and smaller) AMOLED goodness. A camera with a flash and the removal of TouchWiz would make it a no-brainer.
