Pretty much yeah, but the bottons are white as well.

You are right sir, i missed that. I'm pretty sure once they come out, we will see the white covers for sale somewhere, and i'll buy one

The white ones look very nice.
Off topic, can someone link me to the galaxy wallpaper in this pic:

Good lord I can't figure out if this company is a joke or if people actually purchase from them. I took a look at their prices and you have to shell out $100+ for each individual mod. In same cases the mod costs more than the phone itself ($250 for iPhone 4 mod...).

there was a blurb announcement somewhere that either a carrier in portugal or spain was releasing the SGS galaxy in white
kept meaning to find out who the carrier was and see if i could buy a white back cover but never got around to it - waiting to see if i keep the vibrant (if the gps issue gets resolved, i will)
FWIW

there is a fix for the gps out via xda.

haven't seen one that didn't demo the FFS syndrome (Fresh Flash Syndrome) - once installed for a few days to a week, it goes to **** again (except for allgamer's claims)
have you got a link to one i might have missed?

Price of it isn't established yet.. although rumors says it will be for free with 2 years agreement! Seems to me its too much of a phone to be giving away.. pre-order starts october 19th can't wait to check this one out

Def not worth trading for the UI tho its Specs are improved that's really a deal breaker for me

I thought they said it was $200 with new activation or 2 year contract extension. $449 without contract. If it was $250 without contact or free with a contract I would snatch it up.
Stericson needs us to donate to his cause!

Atleast the sliding mechanism looks more solid than the G1's mechanism. That's not saying much though.

That would be the rumored new phone possibly coming to T-Mobile. A couple of tech news sites ran an article a few weeks back speculating with the exact info you see on that page. A couple of sites have the "rumored" specs and pic and are offering pre-sale. This is not confirmed by either T-Mobile or Samsung so I definitely wouldn't pre-order yet.
Another thread around here asking who's getting it is about three weeks old also.

not excited..
i've held the dx2, the sensation and other 4.3 inch phones, size is fine...but the att hercules is just bigger..
besides im not really focused on phones right now, my attention has been on tablets lately.. hopefully tmo will get a new nexus device in the fall or early next year..
just random... why is it that when i call tmo, it's like a party at their office, LOL.. i asked one time and the guy said that everybody is taking a break .. don't they have a break room or something? lol..
^ I think that's why they're the #4 carrier in the US and not higher.
it is supposed to be the tmobile version of the galaxy s2

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

Which ones had you seen that weren't listed? Just curious as most listed are sorta meh. Haven't seen an official list anywhere.
Find it kind of odd that PaperCamera is showing as an app for $0.25, but when you go to it, it is $0.49. I could care less as I got it for free from Amazon a long time ago.

You should watch amazon app store, they tend to give away high dollar apps once or twice a month since Sept I have scored about a dozen or so apps that were normally $10-20 like documents to go pro and splashtop so if you're looking for something in the $10+ range I'd watch the appstore before the market ;-)

The reason the Galaxy S III Pebble Blue Was Delayed!

The flaw manifests as a milkiness to the glaze Samsung applies to the rear of the Galaxy S III, which it has said improves durability, reduces the likelihood of visible scratches and helps the handset feel more like a premium ceramic device in the hand. That “special hyper-glaze material” as Samsung referred to it doesn’t appear to have dried entirely clear, however, on top of the base color.

Is "samsung never being good on quality" the reason i never had to make any repairs on all of my families 8 samsung phones?

Whatever the reason might be... How is this possible after all those delays. Wasn't there a single person who noticed this while Samsung was pushing forward the launch date and later, after the launch date, in the period before actually shipping the thing.
I still believe they are trying to dump a batch of pre produced white units before releasing the flinstone blue version. I bet they made a big miscalculation and are confronted with a big preorder for the blue one.
