LCD screen in Orange San Francisco??? - Blade General

I am getting a little confused. Some people say that there are not AMOLED San Francisco phones any more. Is this true??
Has anyone bought it in the past 2-3 weeks to confirm that??
Thanks in advance

I can confirm that new phones are TFT. At least mine is. I got mine on the 12th of December. Still, the display is quite nice.

Amoled Screens were only till October or November 2010

depends where you buy from, orange stock all seems to be tft now but I saw reports of people buying from argos who were still selling old oled stock.

It depends on were and when U bought your phone. I can say that some has 3.2 Mp and some 5 Mp camera also!

I have two (because I broke sim pins 4 and 6 on my original)
The original's screen is much more vibrant at the same screen brightness. Blacks are better, its just a much better display in general than the newer one.
Damn, I wish I could fix the sim connector on it...

As everyone has said, it used to be AMOLED, but after November 2010, they were TFT. There is an easy way to find out what kind of screen you have. Go to settings> about phone> build number. If it ends in 05, its an AMOLED. If it ends in 08, its a TFT. This is for grey devices only. I'm glad I got mine in November, just before the end of the AMOLEDs!

The 5MP is only for certain Markets though e.g. some parts of Europe such a Finland, Sweden and I think Portugal.

Nexus S - i9023 Super Clear LCD

I think it is time for a separate thread about the i9023 Nexus S. The majority here is probably from the US, but I keep seeing flags from European countries at this forum.
So what is this i9023 Nexus S? A new and improved Nexus S? There were many speculations on the internet, like a 4G version, just a new Nexus or an improved Nexus S. I for one always thought that it would be the Super Clear LCD version of the Nexus S. Because of the shortage of Super AMOLED's, Google announced that most other countries besides the US and the UK would get a Super Clear LCD version: a Super LCD that's supposed to have some of the advantages of Super AMOLED, like a better viewing angle. It is a lot better than most Super LCD's, as you can tell if you look at the Wave II, the only existing smartphone that has the same display.
Most people on the internet still don't know that the i9023 is just the Super Clear LCD Nexus S, and are afraid that it will be a new Nexus and that Google will let the current Nexus S users in the dust. I found an offer at Belsimpel.nl, a Dutch webshop. It says it is selling the Google Nexus S i9023 Black Silver, and in description they are talking about the Super Clear LCD. Price: 500 euro. Release date in the Netherlands: March (7 weeks). I've asked them a question about the 'Black Silver', on which they answered that the device looks exactly the same as the normal Nexus S. Anyway, Belsimpel.nl also sells the US version of the Nexus S, with English menu's, Super AMOLED and a ridiculously high price, for anyone who don't want to wait 'till March. So there is a difference.
I'm really looking forward to March, because I'm totally in love with the Super Clear LCD. It looks gorgeous on the Wave II, and I think it is definitely better than Super AMOLED. Before we start a display war: I do like the colour saturation and the deep blacks of Super AMOLED, but I just prefer the advantages of Super Clear LCD.
So here you can talk about the i9023 Nexus S, the version most other countries will get. Talk about release dates in your countries, prices, and what you like about the display!
Heard that some parts of Asia would be getting this i9023 too.
So,definitely its going to be cheaper by 50-60$ or something.
But march ...

And where exactly did you get this from? Some random webshop claiming to sell a super LCD version in March? With all due respect, I'll take that with a grain of salt. I doubt that there's a new Nexus with 4g and what-not, but at the same time I'm skeptical that any hardware has changed.
Your post implies that you have some sort of insider knowledge and that this is a sure thing, and I don't buy it.

I have to admit, I'm not a 100% procent sure about this. There are a couple of things though that I'm sure off:
1. There will be a Super Clear LCD version. Not only in Russia; a Dutch site asked Samsung and they said that the Netherlands would also get Super Clear LCD. I suppose a lot of countries will get it, because of the shortage and all.
2. This webshop 'Belsimpel.nl' is a pretty big one here in the Netherlands, it is not really just a 'random webshop'. I know that what's big here, is tiny in the US, but they are always the first when it comes to smartphones. You can even pre-order the LG Optimus 2x now, which will be released here a week after the Nexus S.
3. I've asked them (Belsimpel) to be a 100% sure, and they confirmed it.
Combine those things, and it becomes very namely that this i9023 Nexus S will be the Super Clear LCD version.

For some strange reason the Nexus line is a little bit expensive. I don't care, but I can't help but wonder: why is the LG Optimus 2x 45 euro cheaper than the Nexus S at Belsimpel.nl?
I don't really expect a price drop because of the Super Clear LCD, although Super AMOLED is more expensive to produce.
March sucks, I know. With the Nexus One it was not different. It was actually later, in June! By the time it was June, I had lost my interest: one of the main reasons I didn't buy the Nexus One. But I definitely want that Super Clear LCD, so now it is worth the wait! Hopefully they got rid of most of the bugs by that time, that would be another plus.
OK, thanks for the reference to engadget. I hope I didn't come off as an ass; I just didn't buy it without any reputable references whatsoever. I actually didn't notice your link to it in the first post. I'm curious as to whether this will hit the US. Regardless, I'm not taking my NS back or switching it out, unless Sammy came out with a brand new one with 4g, and I'd be selling mine to get a different brand phone because I'd feel cheated.

Doesn't matter, if I were you I would be sceptical too. I already thought you, and others, would not know that there was actually going to be a Super Clear LCD, so that's why I've put a couple of links in the first post.
I don't know about whether it will go to the US. The Nexus One did come with AMOLED to all countries, including the Netherlands, but after a while they started selling S-LCD versions. Now, with the Nexus S, it only comes with Super AMOLED in two countries (maybe more), and most countries will never get to see a Super AMOLED version. So maybe you are lucky this time (or unlucky, depending on your taste in displays), and the Nexus S will always have Super AMOLED as long as it is for sale in the US and the UK.
Two new release dates!
- India - Early February. Price unknown. Strange thing though: they are talking about a i9003 version with Super Clear LCD. A quick search on Google with 'gt-i9003' brings you to this, which says that it is a Nexus S, release date Feb 2011 and display 'Super AMOLED. It gets stranger though: someone at the Galaxy S forums says it is the Russian version with Super Clear LCD, and searching that brings you here. I don't get it anymore...
- Canada - March. Price unknown.
There are now two 'new' Nexus S at FCC: the GT-i9023, and the GT-i9003, which was already known in November 2010. Then it was thought to be a Galaxy S series phone.
We'll just have to wait untill February and March, to see if they are not just the same.

There has been speculation that Bell in Canada might be getting one of the Canada versions which would have the same bands as AT&T in America to my understanding so maybe in March you'll be able to go up to our northerly neighbors and get one.
As for the i9003/i9023, I think the i9023 is the real one, although the internet says different, except for that Dutch webshop. I think this because the original Nexus S is i9020, so it seems logical that a Super Clear LCD version would be i9023. Strange thing that they get a i9003 Nexus S in India. May be a type error?
The i9003 looks more like a Galaxy S series phone, since i9000 was the Galaxy S. When the i9003 first showed up at FCC, everyone thought it would be a Galaxy S series phone.

Lol, no verdict, I just wanted to let you know in which countries the Nexus S will be released, and when and for how much. Mainly to keep this thread alive a little... Are there so little non-English people here?
When I get my i9023 Nexus S with SC-LCD I'll post a review here, mainly about the display.
I need an Italian! I found this on the internet. Some Italian website has tested the i9023 Nexus S with Super Clear LCD. I've translated the link to English, but unfortunately you can't translate videos.
So, can somebody who speaks Italian tell me what they are saying in the two video's? What do they think about the display?

But what a mess
An italian eshop (eprice) has put in the list the Nexus S Black i9003 (so not i9023).
Remarks:
The phone is not available
The phone is claimed to have SAMOLED screen
The phone is claimed to have italian warranty
The price is 459.99 euros
As i can read from pdadb the radio bands of the i9003 are the same as i9023 and different from the i9020 ones

Availability of White Galaxy Note

It was discussed previously in several topics, but neither of them came to an adequate answer.
Please post in this thread sources of availability of White Galaxy Note, as they appear!
Here is what information I've gathered so far, White Galaxy Note buying options with comments:
ipmart (from Malaysia) now says that it has no stock. Price ~695 USD.
ebay.com.hk has few on sale for almost ~900-950 USD.
handtec.co.uk says that it has no stock. Price ~695 USD.
Shop in Romaina that was mentioned on forum to have White in stock does not ship internationally.
Am I missing some source? As you can see all options have some red tag on them making them irrelevant.
P.S. Prices excluding VAT, where it can be avoided and do NOT include SHIPPING.
My comments on White Galaxy Note: Some people were suggesting buying white flip case and, it would be the same. It's not the same. Just look at the glowing buttons in white one, they are gorgeous!
Please post if someone finds a good place to buy White Galaxy Note. Thanks.

Nexus S £199 at Carphonewarehouse

Not a bad deal I think. Well I have put my money where my mouth is so I hope so.
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/NEXUS-S-FROM-GOOGLE/HANDSET
I wish I had a 9020 instead of my 9023 I love amoled
I am wondering if it will be AMOLED.
I like it but am wondering if it's worth it over my Xperia Arc S?
Well on the link it advertises that it has a 4" Super AMOLED touchscreen so it should be.
Aye but I know Vodafone have been selling them as a S-LCD.

Yes; this Nexus S was £199 and has the AMOLED.
Wow I might pick up one of these if it's amoled.
I'm wondering do you think this phone will last me for two years?
I'm kinda thinking I'll regret not getting a dual core phone later down the line.
I'm thinking maybe I should get a 2nd hand sensation, but the slcd really puts me off.
Cheers
I'm thinking of selling my Desire for £85, buying this for £200, then in the summer selling the Nexus S for £80ish i hope.
So my question, how big of a step up is this from the Desire? Worth the small hassle to get it for 6 months?
I bought one earlier on today (26/12/2011) and it is indeed a 9020T (The AMOLED one)
It came with 2.3.1 on it, but it didn't want to update OTA, so I had to install the updates from a thread somewhere around here on it.
Glad another friend of mine pointed them out to me, they're an absolute steal!
Same, picked up one today.
Very happy with it.

Got one as well, flashed it to 4.0.3 already, so much faster than my Xperia Arc S
yeah i picked one up today aswell, lovely AMOLED and a bloody nice phone aswell quite frankly, mine also came with 2.3.1 and doesn't want to do any OTA updates aswell.
I'm actually in two minds about flashing to 4.0.3, since some people have reported some battery issues with ICS
I'm popping down to my local carphone warehouse today.
Fingers crossed.

The 9020t is also known as the 9020 which is the SIM free SAMOLED version originally sold in the UK through CPW. The 900/1700/2100MHz UMTS bands are used by all the major networks here in the UK. The phones aren't T-Mobile branded in any way.
yeah it is the i9020 as its the only official one in UK and I'm hoping it lasts until at least the 5th next month as otherwise I will have to buy the i9023 from amazon....

International Note II shipping on Sept. 27. $900.00!

Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).
~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )
The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

Ordered one yesterday. B&H Photos stated about mid-March which might make sense: one month of Note Pro sales, first. Rumors are the Verizon version of Note Pro will be released on March 6. I'm hoping for mid-March--or sooner, of course.
Just got a tracking number from amazon. Looks like it will be here tomorrow march 5th. I used 2 days prime shipping.

Seriously so soon? It is only a pre-order even as of today.
It's still showing pre-order on amazon. But somehow, they sent me a tracking number for it. I'll update it once I get it tomorrow.
Mine still shows "preparing for shipment, " but since Samsung just announced March 9 release, it may change soon. I'm also Prime. Ordered March 3 early in the day EDT. It shows in my orders, but I didn't get an order confirmation email.
6:30 PM EDIT: Just received a text that the tablet (+ micro sd card I ordered this morning) shipped for delivery Friday. No email nor amazon.com showing either has shipped-yet.

Shipped through Philadelphia early AM. ETA (south central FL) tomorrow.
Amazon still lists as "not yet released."
Now I wait for root.
@sic_lic1o1, did you get yours yesterday? You probably did and are too busy playing with it in any spare time to get back to the forum.
Yes I did receive mine yesterday. Got home late from work so I didn't have enough time to play with it much but I snapped a few shots of the tablet. I always like the big size tablet. The first thing I checked was the build quality, dead pixels and light bleed. So far I haven't found anything wrong with the tablet yet. There's not any noticeable light bleed compare to my Samsung galaxy 2014 special edition. There's also no lag so far for me.
It's a beaut all right. Thanks for sharing. Mine (my son 's, really) got to Louisville, KY. Amazon still shows not released.

Ours arrived today, but I'm sending for a replacement.

In that skyline picture on your last pic, it's just above the pointed spire so not in a very inconspicuous spot.
Once you find those things, your mind can't "unfind" them. It shows on every pixel test screen and on every other screen. I guess it was our turn--over a dozen devices in the past three years and this is the first with the issue. Otherwise, everything about the tablet is what we were hoping for.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Amazon will overnight it to you. I like the size so far, its a lil heavy but I don't hold it much. Mine does have some backlight bleeding when i used the backlight bleeding app to test it . But nothing major compare to my note 10.1 special edition.

Thanks. Yep, Amazon overnight. We don't live anywhere near Best Buy (55 miles) which also does easy exchanges, so Amazon gets our business most of the time. Before I mentioned 12 devices. It's actually been 16. Our first tablets were Pandigital Novels. This is the first Android devices that probably won't get rooted. Now I'm supposedly thinking about the 8.4 for myself.
