Perhaps the I represents "Indian" ?
Anyhow if the latest firmware you're referring to is 2.3.6, I'm currently running that on my S5830 and it works fine.
Can you please tell which earlier version you were using before upgrading to 2.3.6 latest version. I am currently running DDKQ6 and want to know if i can upgrade it to 2.3.6 also.
[]custom binary counter which as of now don't have reset method [and mostly no future for that prob if usb jig don't work]The S5830i is a different phone
[]Brodcom chipset
[]different GPU (VideoCore IV HW)
[]different sensors
[]different partitions
[]different camera
[]Codename - COOPEREV
Its your phones funeral if you flash a S5830i firmware
How to visually tell the difference of if its S5830i or S5830?
You can't its visually completely identical to S5830

In other words the phone will be HARD bricked if custom FW is flashed or Stock FW's flashed a few times.

Acording to the quadriant score its 2 times slower then GT-S5830
LOL Trollsung (Samsung) is so awesome when it comes to FW
