I know... but sprint reception sucks where I live, and I need good reception for my job, which tmobile doesn't have

Well the Nexus One is supposed to be unlocked, so therefore, you could also always use AT&T if they have got good service in your area.

The hardware specs are nice, but the handset is a brick. If they could have only put some effort into an elegant design.

Wrong section man...

Now the Hummingbirds can be as optimized as the Snapdragons are.

Yeah. saw the best buy ad today.. looks sweet. I'm sure people will bash it though because Sammy's name on it. Shame.

Yep, looks like the Vibrant's sister. She's hot!

Hopefully it'll be easy enough to port Gingerbread to the Vibrant.

Well, technically you are right, but as we do not have a section for this device just yet, and it does indeed look like the Vibrant... I guess we can let it be. Besides, it is in General...

^^

It's already better than the Nexus One (ugly). This thing is svelte. I'm glad it still has the antenna bump because it's the reason why our reception is good. The Fascinate doesn't have this bump and it has some reception issues with losing service because of the smaller antenna.
- The speakerphone will rock
- SAMOLED
- Flash for those that need one
- LED Notification light for those that need one
- GPS is probably going to work out of the box
- Stock Android
- Good Reception, better than the Nexus One that's for certain
- PERFECT size
- Updates handled by Google

I don't think the Nexus S has super amoled, does it?

That phone is the reason that the Vibrant will probably never see Android 2.3 (or won't for another 6 months or so).
Unless the Nexus S is sporting a 1280x760 screen then its not worth considering if you already have a Vibrant

It's definitely worth it because of the update. I'm getting rid of the Vibrant once I get my hands on the S. Samsung needs to step up and support the damn updates.

The Nexus One has a lot of roms so maybe the Nexus S will have a ton too.
But a lot of devs are HTC fanboys too so idk

This is what I've been waiting for! I'm gonna need to upgrade my signature - a new Nexus is what I need in my life!

[Q] EVO3d, does it have sense 2?

as it says, anyone find out if it has it? source would be nice too if anyone can find one.

Most likely. No confirmation on that specific yet.

I would be Very surprised if it did not.
watching engadget liveblog it now...

well it has that "customize" icon on the rosie bar that has only been on sense 2.0 devices, so i would have to say yes it does.

Off topic I know, but why the heck does engadget never give a non-apple product a 9. Actually that kind of answers itself. Carry on.

There's a hands on on BGR's site, but it's not very detailed... It shows that button is for the camera yes, and there's a switch beside it to switch from 2d and 3d photos I think it said..

For anyone who wants to see what gingerbread will look like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMKIgqHAlJc

I would love to see that on my Atrix. Look at how fast it made that Droid!.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

Yeah motoblur up until that sucks. This actually looks decent and seems quick.

I still have a Droid X my kids use for watching videos and playing games and I had to do a bunch of stuff to get gingerbread on it. Once done, Gingerbread is a well polished machine by comparison to previous versions. It adds the LITTLE THINGS that iPhone users tend to enjoy. I liked it and give it a big thumbs up.

my motoblur work like that...but......and with live wallpaper??? still fast or like a cheat?

Wow... Can't wait for this. Blurified gingerbread seems nice. A lot better than the ugly stock theme from 2.1/2.2.
Made that DX scream.

:O i want it!
i made that Droid X fast on a single core processor imagine on our dual core!
i got to say one thing tho. the dock was kind of motoblurs trade mark. its 3 little green white and blue icons, now gone...
OH WELL LET ME HAVE THAT 2.3 MOTOBLUR!

I didnt post what you quoted so I cant speak for him but I will elaborate, slightly. I have gingerbread CM7 on the Captivate and there are several things I like about it.
First and formost, and this is petty, the screen does the "crt monitor" screen on/off effect animation thingy. Its superficial, but awesome. There are several other interface changes that are an improvement imo.
Secondly, native wifi internet calling via SIP. It still takes some setting up and know how but you only have to read to learn.
Of course there are "speed" improvement like always.
Theres a Download (manager) app.
Finally, security. You probably read about that already.

Verizon Finally Starts Field Testing Gingerbread for the Samsung Fascinate, Build EH0

It's official Verizon has started testing a Gingerbread build (2.3.5), though I want to know why the battery meter is the same as now, and it's not the green standing up battery meter that we are familiar with on the other Galaxy S phones.
I can't post the link but the news is on droid-life and phandroid

at the bottom of the article it says:
“ZOMG, it’s just a build.prop edit!”

eh03 is very real...unless what im using on my fascinate at this second is a figment of my imagination

Is a Build.prop.edit a bad thing? If that's the case I think I'm just going to go ahead and root and see if I can use EI20. The problem is once I put EI20 on my phone, I won't be able to update anymore right? It will be nice to have my phone Bingless though.

Can you take some screenshots please? Fascinate has had the ability to do so since Froyo (hold back key and hit powerkey). I want to see how it looks like, and what kind of Quadrant scores you are getting, can you also please link the apps?

Quadrant is a bit bunk I agree with that, but I noticed that on Galaxy S phones running 2.3.4 and higher that the Quadrant scores have been reading anywhere from the low 1400s to the low 1700s. I just wanted to know what they changed in Gingerbread that made the phones a bit more responsive.
That said bro, /beg would be nice to see some screenies.

I'm really wondering how EH03 matches up against EI20 on the generic sch-i500(Showcase) or how it matches up to EH09 on the Mesmerize.

It's about time this is happening for the fascinate....how about the droid charge? I think samsung forgot they even made the Charge....

This sounds like a bit of fail on Verizon's end.

Too bad none of the leaks are stable...nothing but problems with force closings, random loud static while on calls and other various problems. I think Verizon is actually swapping them for totally different devices if you call and complain...

From what I heard, the leak is pretty good, everyone says the phone has really sped up with this Gingerbread build, not only that, but for once when you hit the search button it goes directly to Google search, no more Bing crap. That said, Bing is still on the phone, but much less prevalent.
What kind of Quadrant scores are you getting with Galaxy S Epic 4G Gingerbread official release?
