"Update: We just received word from a Verizon spokesperson that the reference to a July release was just a miscommunication and was actually in reference to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. "
Pass ... Not a fan of Samsung build quality
With a dual core 1.2 ghz processor it better have a good battery that comes with it stock. I am not changing phones to just get battery life that is worse then the thunderbolt.

For me, if it's not HTC, pass!
If it's LTE, I'll use my upgrade on it.
Wish it had lte then I would get
SII seems solid but the Droid 3 may be my Thunderbolt replacement.

The Droid Bionic supposedly is a 4.5 LTE monster...but blur and locked bootloader...no thanks
If its LTE yes.
I had the fascinate and I will not ever buy ANY samsung product. I even returned a samsung monitor I had back to costco.
I loved my Vibrant, I'd probably go back to Sammy if it was LTE.
It is surely tempting, to say the least.
yeah, had a fascinate. i think i'll pass on this. samsung phones feel cheap and they use too much plastic. just doesnt feel like an expensive device.

This. Worst phone I've ever owned, and I've had every android on VZW except for the Ally and Inc.
I'll wait until it launches, see what the developer scene looks like, before I make a decision. I won't be jumping on launch day, but I've been impressed with Samsung's recent actions, fast kernel source releases, donations of phones to developers, etc.
Nope pass

Fascinate was not that bad, minus Bing and the poor updates of course. Build quality is subjective.

Nope holding onto my Thunderbolt for a while... All i care is that tethering works and I'll wait for a nice quad-core tablet to come out and do all my heavy lifting on that.
I created this photo, its plain and simple. What do you think?
Not true.
You can get paid apps free regardless if its rooted or not, how ever if you do like the app you should buy it and support the dev...if everyone illegally downloaded things then devs would never push out updates...
And no one gets 21mb/s down on the infuse...att advertises up to 21 mb but you won't even get close...21mb/s down as LTE average speeds, I had an infuse and would get 6mb/s...got my LTE vivid and I get 23mb/s
Other than those two...is say its a pretty decent spec sheet...all though not sure why you made it??? I quick google search will tell you everything and more about this phone

The infuse is no way better than the s2. You must have never owned an s2 because mine eats infuses for lunch.
Not bigger either. My s2 skyrocket has the same screen.
Wtf...really....really....where are my free apps....

Very true. I own both a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket and an Infuse and the reason I got the skyrocket (for non-contract price) is because it is better than the infuse and that still stands true.
Guys which samsung phone is this ?
I won an auction in ebay.com , seller says its samsung skyrocket i727 , but this phone is completely different ,

Nope, the at&t skyrocket vs their normal s2 (I777) was as follows:
Skyrocket had snapdragon CPU but I777 had exynos
Skyrocket had 4.5 inch screen, I777 had 4.3

SII 4G
Someone said it's a GT-I9210, and I think he was right.
I've got a GT-i9210T (Telstra version, from Australia) and it looks exactly the same, except for a different logo on the battery cover.
Here it's known as Samsung Galaxay SII 4G

Neither. Go for a nexus phone. Nexus s/galaxy nexus/nexus 4.
Bought Galaxy Nexus a year ago for the same purpose, worked like a charm for me. I would suggest to go with Nexus too. There are very popular and hacker friendly.
Strictly for hacking/dev-ing, the Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus. For hacking/dev-ing while retaining a lot of common features (removable battery, expandable storage), Galaxy S3 or Note 2.
Thats right. Nexus is best :thumbup:

Reading & comprehension appear to be mutually exclusive around these parts. I've never heard of a Samsung duos so I'm taking a gander that the OP means an "S" class Samsung with duo (sic) cores.

I think the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 is the best choice, because you get always the newest updates.
When ubuntu phone is released, you can also develop for ubuntu phone.

i would also rather go for a nexus device instead of the 2 other devices, there are plenty of documentations and drivers for them and you can also run ubuntu on it. perfect for hacking around.
The google phones are the path of least resistance for hacking. They make things easier than 3rd parties who don't care about users who want to unlock or root their phones.

not sure if this is pure bs or if its real.. but if its the real deal then its fantastic!
Google’s big yearly conference is often the stage for new products, and this year is promising to be bigger than any other. Despite shifting from two smaller keynotes to one larger keynote, Google is ready to put on quite a show tomorrow. Part of the big day will be to announce a new version of Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S4. While Samsung’s phone is an incredible piece of hardware, many users find themselves less than pleased with Samsung’s version of Android. To resolve this once and for all, a pure AOSP version of the Galaxy S4 is being prepped for launch and will be unveiled during the IO keynote.
Not to be confused with a Nexus phone, which is a piece of hardware made with Google’s guiding hand, the Galaxy S4 GE will feature stock Android inside the familiar plastic casing. According to sources on hand at Google IO, this Google Edition phone is a collaboration between Samsung and Google to address a growing group of users that prefer stock Android on something other than a Nexus. In order to accomplish this right now, users would need to install custom versions of Android like CyanogenMod. Complete with removable battery and expandable storage with the MicroSD card slot, this phone could certainly address this growing niche.
This Google Edition S4 is expected to be made available starting in June and will be available on T-Mobile bands. At this time we are unaware of pricing or whether more bands will be made available. It’s also unclear if Samsung will be selling the phone or if it will be available through the Google Play Store.

If this is true I will be so happy. Touchwiz is the only thing holding me back from this phone.
Not every piece of news needs a new thread.
Woah.. I hope it is true. Although I don't mind touch wiz. I'm curious if they will use the same 600 cpu or 800

I doubt this but I've seen crazier things happen.
That would piss me off a ridiculous amount. I am locked into a two-year contract with this phone that might not even be reliably unlockable. Then Samsung pulls this ****, weeks after releasing their phone. This is what is wrong with Android.

If this is true, i hope they keep the lg nexus for sale. Like a cheaper alternative. Lower the price for it while they also have the s4 ge with more features for sale.. & let's not forget the white nexus picture has been leaked. I guess we'll find out in a couple hours.

I realize that I'm in the minority here but I personally prefer touchwiz. Ran touchwiz roms on my SGS2 and I intend to run them when we have custom recovery on our SGS4's. For me, that's what makes the difference between buying a Samsung or a Motorola or an LG.
That said, this is a smart move on Samsung's part (if true of course.) You get the advantage of officially supported AOSP with LTE and a warranty. If it's successful I could see others following suit and offering their hardware when a choice of AOSP or their own flavor of android.
