streak 5 is an old model... but it is still competitive in term of hardware... 5inch screens always makes people ushered when i took call or doing something with the phone..

lol.. .. I'm agree on that part, at 1st people around us will think it's weird, but when they tried it, surely they will impress with the bigger screen..:good:

Pretty good device still, but you'd be better off getting yer mitts on a Galaxy Note - way better hardware and screen, more user support and CM10. Always thought the DS5 was pretty moody - mine would spontaneously factory reset every month or so.

How is 3.7 inches small? =/
Honestly I am getting tired of these two groups of people: 1) "I am going to sell my Vibrant for the G2 because Vibrant sucks" and 2) "Vibrant is the greatest thing ever... G2 sucks". Seriously people, they are both great phones. Get over it.
Glad you told us. I for one really sincerely am concerned about what you do with your personal property. You selling your phone is so important to tell everyone, so i am glad you did. Bottling it up inside isnt healthy.
Good luck on your important life journey of what electronics you use.
Were is the "Like" Button when you need it
OP good luck with your investment, money well spent...BTW Samsung still gets your money whether you sell it or not
Ha-ha, yea I'm glad the OP let us in in his decision. Now I can finally get some rest...

The comments one could make... which have nothing to do with phones, of course. Mostly the your mom or your girlfriend jokes.
I love my Vibrant... G2's okay... I'm just over the slide-out keyboard thing.
Just bought an old bread machine on eBay! Mmmm, cinnamon raisin.
Wow, way to fail a troll. I like you people.
whats your point? We should all sell our vibrant and get G2?

What is this? You just want to let people know how unfairly you were treated by your phone? Or perhaps T-Mobile? "Waaah, my phone doesnt have froyo yet"? Do us all a favor and cry yourself a river, build yourself a bridge and get the f**k over it.

Whose considering a Synapse Phone

With all N1 alternative threads, I'm surprised I haven't seen the synapse phone mentioned more, so I thought I would start a thread
I am quite heavily considering it. Tho I think I wanna wait for series 2, just to make sure custom rom community is there. Being rooted and unlocked bootloader from factory. But I think I should buy one to ensure there is a series 2
So who else is considering one of these synapse phones? To maybe replace their N1

wtf how cheap is this phone to start with? They're charging you extra for the most basic smartphone features...like a 3.5 mm jack!

just modified my phone to personal liking, almost $900!
Read the remarks for a good analysis:

So not a scam, but prob not gonna happen considering company resources

Man that seems like such a good idea....
The first day someone posted about it on gizmodo or something, I went and looked at the prices. I "built" a phone using all of components that would put it above similar phones spec wise, it was going to cost about $900 USD.
Considering I spent my entire summer savings on my Nexus One ($580 + ~$20 for screen protectors, case, etc = $600) It's not necessarily a good or bad value. If I had that type of expendable income, I would totally go for it!
The concept is cool though - make a phone that caters to your needs. I wish an American company would try this! Maybe Google? "Nexus 2 - Have It YOUR WAY!"

hahahahahaa. Somehow, equating a $500+ phone to fast food just doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. lol
It's an interesting idea - I won't be in the market for a new phone until September 2011 so will keep an eye on them until then. That should be enough time for them to succeed / fail.
I like the idea of a 3 year warranty..
sounds like a good idea, but they are being jackasses, 256mb of ram as the basic mode want more ram? well pay up, which is just plain 2008 or wifi, 3.5mm as options when these are basic necessities for a smartphone.
Seems more like a dream idea than an actual production device

Alright I'm bumping this thread up just to show everyone there's a better alternative to the Nexus S.
And the website is pretty much working for me now. Though there's no option for me to preorder yet, but I'm more excited about this than the other phone.
Synapse-Phone.
If this true I will buy one for sure...just wanna see some in the wild and read some reviews...I will most def pass on the Nexus S

Prices are not that awful for what I need, I end up at 500 or so USD
Obviously, I didn't put 4G and hdmi, radio, etc. since I don't use them and 4G won't be appearing in Canada for a while ^^
I'll see how it gets when they start actually selling the phones...it's an awesome idea honestly, I just hope they succeed! Go germans go
3 years warranty? Amazing if true. That alone is worth it! And finally a xenon flash for an android phone.
Custom spec phone?
I would say you're on your own as far as custom ROMs go...?

Oh, great. Bumping a fake phone as a better alternative to another, rumor-based phone. Excellent idea.

Stay Strong, People!

Yes, I see you, you sexy little thing you, teasing me with your dual core specs, super AMOLED+ screen, and accurate GPS, working that pole at the Galaxy S..tripper Cabaret.
Last time around, you sucked all the money out of my wallet. True, you screwed me afterwards, but you screwed all my friends, too, you cheap little whore. You went on to imply that you were going to always be there for me and my friends. Turns out you decided to sleep with all of Europe and the rest of the world, plying them with your gingerbread cookies, but what do I get? Not even a happy ending.
You never even came back to the States. Nope, you stayed in Europe after that plastic surgery a few months ago, showing everyone else your new facelift and big tits, giving everyone else a taste of the new you. Now that they've had their way with you, you decide to come back to the States and try to entice me.
You're out of my life, Samsung. I'm not sure even an ice cream sandwich would whet my appetite. I'm gonna go out with my new friends, HTC & LG. Hell, I might even make a bong out of an apple. But I'm not going to give you a hit, Samsung.

Very creative OP!
You should write bedtime stories for children.
As I had stated in another thread, I could not go with another brand of phone. I could certainly go with another carrier without an issue, especially with the T-mob acquisition from ATT. I will never go with ATT, nothing but bad experiences with them.
The reason I will stay with Samsung are as follows.
More local storage, more app storage, more memory, better screen, gorilla glass and finally, faster phone in general. This is my experience and from watching specs it does not seem like this will change either.
This is the experience I have had, granted I started my android foray with the Vibrant and have only used friends phones for other models to test for short whiles, rarely more than a day.

GALAxy NOTE Gets a LOT of ATTENTION!!!!

I love my galaxy note and everytime i go to some public place people ask me what it is and you get to know a lot of people. Its awesome. All the people that saw my note said they were gonna buy it no lie.

Here in India, Samsung is going bonkers with advertising campaign for note. You see it every day on almost all satellite channels. It has reached the point where people have actually started to recognise the phone in public. Everyone knows its Note.
Kinda feel bad as its not something rare or unknown beast that surprises people anymore.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.
My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..
Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.
Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!
And guess what? I already made new friends because of it LOL

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.
I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...
Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Living with the Galaxy Note: Thoughts After 5 Days

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?
