No front-facing camera?! Pass!
Sure, the specs are nice, but by Feb. 2011, that's going to be the norm.

Samsung trying to fail with that one button crap. Whenever I use a iPhone now, I rage at the lack of search key.

What does this have to do with the Evo?

Why is it running MIUI?..

It's a fake!
Mismatched specs and the photoshop on that ad is terrible, my 3yr old could do better. In one spot it says 4.3" screen, and the other says 4.5" Also the redundant duplication of the specs listed, fake!

I smell lawsuit from apple maybe? That is a total rip off imho.

Fake.

As with any Samsung phone the specs on paper make the phone look superior, but real world usage the phone fails. Yea front facing camera should be standard in 2011.
Hoax or not, its ugly, and does look like a iPhone wannabe. Fanboys will just look at you and laugh if your caught holding that. BTW why is this posted in an EVO forum?

I would assume that its because the OP has an Evo. Also, probably because this phone doesn't exist therefor it doesn't have a forum leaving the poster to post where he/she normally does. Where do you suggest this be posted?

Played with the Thunderbolt cam yesterday. It's very fast. Didn't have an iPhone to compare with, but it's way faster than the Eris.

The Thunderbolt was to include the the upgraded camera software as well.
Hate to say this as I type this from my wifes iPhone lol while my phone charges but the iPhone 4 takes absolutely wonderful pictures from what I can see. I would love it if the bolt could take pictures on par with the ip4. Not trying to start a war here. Just stating the simple facts! Can't wait for this effen phone

Just purchased infuse

Gona give the infuse a whirl on a 30 day trial.
So far, the screen and colors are amazing, fast and responsive gps, very nice picture quality.
Im hoping for bettery battery life.
Let me know if anyone has any questions...

have you already had the inspire, if so how does the build quality compare
If you never had a Samsung Galaxy phone yet, coming from HTC, you will be disappointed. HTC's build quality is MUCH MUCH better compared to Samsung's lightweight plastic and material

My only question is why this isn't posted in the infuse forum..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1158
This is the inspire forums.
Enjoy yer crapsong.....Or somthing
I don't known if it was just the display model but I thought it sucked.
Screen looked like crap, exactly like a Craptivate with a huge screen.
I was used the browser to look at xda and the experience was terrible.
Maybe it was just that model, I don't know.
The 2 nice things I noticed that sideloading was enabled and as big as the screen was, it didn't feel as big as it really was.

I tried a infuse that actually was working. My buddy bought one and he said its better cuz its light weight. Let me tell you, just like sgs,this phone feels like a cheap pos. This phone has a great screen but ill take build and quality over that screen anyday. His gps would reset using gps status app and it took atleast 76 seconds to lock on cold reset. Horrible and I'm in Dallas. Save the money,Samsung needs to stick with tvs and blu ray players. My two cents

Samsung might look good on paper, but their quality really does suck and those fancy screens dont last long in regards to battery life.
The only advantage to samsung is the screen technology. Outside of that they sacrifice usabilty and quality for external asthetics.

Their quality sucks in regards to what? Their mobile processors that have been leading the pack since the Hummingbird? Or their NAND memory that every other manufacture wants for their device? Oh wait. I know. Its their cameras eveb though Engadget just said the GSII has a better camera than any other phone in history besides the N95.
The SGSII actually has longer battery life than any Android device so far. I can also tell you that eveb though the phones are light, it does not mean their not durable. My Vibrant lasted through several drops and over 50 house fires. In those fires it got wet most of the time. My Nexus One however only survived 4 fires before it broke due to water damage. The phone would still turn on but the touch screen wouldn't work and I could see some water under the display. In the end, Samsung uses plastic for a reason. Cell signal along with WiFi signal more readily pass through it than it does through metals.

Moving on to the Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys. I'm probably not a well known user, but I wanted to say that I'm moving on to the galaxy nexus.
I found a good deal here in Mississauga for only 400 for an unlocked HSPA+ version. I just got it today at noon and I've gotten pretty impressed with the speed, smoothness and stability of this phone. The screen is also HD and has better colors. The camera actually looks a bit better although its only 5 mp. I'm pretty happy with my choice.
Again, I'm not leaving the g2x community, I'm just using the gnex as my main phone now. On the other hand, I can't wait for the g2x to get a fully working ICS port.
Again, I hope the best for the fate of the g2x. I'll be there to witness and experience evey moment. I hope you had a good time reading this. Have a good day/night.

Yeah, taxes were included and the phone was brand new. The box was unopened and the plastic covers were on the screen and on the back. The sticker was on the box and it didn't look like it had been tampered with. Everything was in the box and it was wrapped in a thick plastic with Samsung branding. There were no scratches or marks so the phone was probably brand new.
Oh, and my carrier is Wind.

Then it'll get shoved off when it's time for judgment has come.
I just don't see a point in people coming into a thread just to bash someone when it's not even a big deal.
If you REALLY don't care, then just stay out of it and let the mods deal with it. Let the man leave and be happy with his new phone.
Obviously not directing that at you, buru.
I have also bought a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy S II X, and one of them will replace my WIND branded P999DW. Thus my P999DW will be for sale very soon now.
I haven't received my GN yet as it is still in the US, but so far the S II X seems very nice.
WIND has no updates and the official OS is 2.2 still. It is sad as a flag ship model costing $445. when I bought it 11 months ago.

My opinion on "MY" Thunderbolt is that it is a good.. But not great device. Battery Life is poor. Other than that, the only real complaint about the device itself is that the proximity sensor used to turn the screen off while it's against my head hasn't worked since about the second week I had the phone.. My Tbolt has had a good run. I will have had it 2 yrs this November. It has gotten pretty beat up with dings, scuffs, and chips all over it and a cracked screen (right across the "home" soft key) but all in all its still kickin strong.
Compared to my buddy's gs3 I'd say it, at least appears, to be lacking. The gs3 is a pretty cool device but honestly I think it's more of the simple human need for bigger and better toys that separates the two.. I am running Liquid's ICS at standard processor speed and I didn't notice much speed difference between the two phones...
I think it really boils down to device specific features and how the phone looks and feels that make me choose a phone and with custom roms and the basic customization of the Android OS they can all potentially be equal in that aspect...
That's my... Idk... 50 cents haha..
Thanks for the share.. I'd say it sounds like the guy is just trying to say what he can to sell his Thunderbolt lol
