I was searching on eBay for a Samsung Galaxy Black Edition (the one with a black screen and a Note 3 style leather textured back):

Then I came across this quite sleek looking Prototype Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition:
And I thought to myself: "I must get one."
It has a black, logo-less rectangular screen with square corners, and a logo-less matte plastic back cover. In my opinion, this prototype looks much better than the mass produced model. Does anyone here own one? If so, what's it like?
Get it and dump everything

I wish I could, but a few things are steering me away from it:
1. It's a US phone, and apparently it's locked to US Cellular (I live in Australia)
2. It's a CDMA phone, so I'm not sure about its compatibility with Aussie networks
3. They're a US seller, so postage might be a bit of a pain because they "May not ship to Australia"
Looks to me like it won't be much use in Australia. I'd give it a miss.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. Still, it's a fascinating phone.
this guy on polish site allegro (something like e-bay) have some interesting Samsung stuff https://allegro.pl/uzytkownik/www_awena_com_pl/samsung-inne-modele-5015?order=m

What does everyone think about the US packaging? I personally want the bamboo packaging like the UK customers!
I think this clear box approach is a bit odd considering most will be sold online.

EDIT:
Seems like maybe this is not the official US packaging http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/07/dell-says-fancy-streak-box-is-not-final-us-packaging.html
Looks ace to me, never seen that before!
They seem to be going all out for the US launch, doesn't have the earth friendly of the Europe packaging but it sure grabs your attention now. I like, now Ill have a museum case for when I retire my Streak in a couple of years.

Aw I am the only one that likes the bamboo
.
Looks sexy. I could really care less about the packaging...just give me the friggin phone.
I have the USA release in the Museum display .. It is nice. But I would have been just as happy to have it in a small box like the iphone came in. Easier to ship if I one day sell it. I do NOT see that day coming any time soon. BUT THEN, have had it only 24 hours, still playing with settings and swype .. BTW, I LOVE SWYPE ..
I prefer the bamboo package,
and I am getting one real soon !
At least I can not find a SGS-alike here....

they are indeed fakes, but many of them have very nice features that Real brand names one doesn't offer
at Deal Xtreme you can also find a lot of those
the Android ones are specially good, as you can pretty much do anything you want with it and make you own ROMs
some other with locked in weird concoction of chinese OS might not be the greatest, but offer full features, and more than regular phones doesn't have
many which caught my eyes were among:
projector
tv
solar powered
crank powered
2 SIM
CDMA + GSM
waterproof
etc...
unfortunately all of them came with crappy OSes
however i really like the projector one, it's soooo cool
thank God , there is no
"HiPhone GaGaXy" or "HiPhone Galaxx" or anything else.
If they put in better displays they could be onto something lol
Read some of the questions. The answers are great.
Q. What resolution camera does it have?
A. It has a 0.3 mega pixel cam which gives ery clear pictures for you.
They can copy everything, it is so amusing and crazy. Such a crazy country.
Here are some pictures of the factory where these may have been made from....

Can you believe it? That is their solution. Sorry for such life.
Actually Foxconn makes the genuine Apple devices, not the fakes.

Wow, someone just landed on planet earth

Curious for the specs of this smartphone...!!!

Hello,
Does anyone recognize this leather pouch?
It looks like an OEM pouch for Nexus 4.

Thanks.
I think I should have posted this in Accessories sub forum...
Nobody?
This one?

I have that pouch and it's not oem. It's not even made of real leather. N4 sits in snuggly but it has to be naked meaning no cases or bumpers.
I'm not sure. Is it the same? The upper part looks different.
Forgot to post mine when I made the comment

Thanks a lot for posting the picture.
I guess I'll get one from Bugatti.
You can also go to dodocase.com and pick up a very nice leather wallet pouch from them for the Nexus 4. I'm getting one myself once I can afford it.
The phone is already too large for my taste, so I don't want a huge case like the one from dodocase.com.
I want the smallest possible case or pouch that fits the phone.

Just got my S8 yesterday evening and less than 24hrs after the screen is already bad...
Was like this when I picked it up from the Samsung fast wireless charger that was gifted to me by the provider.
What is strange is that the line are not showing up on either complete black or white screens.
See for yourself..
EDIT: Just got a new one and this looks fine.

Looks like your screens digitizer is going bad. I went through 3 S6's that had green/pink line running down it.

I would definitely not be happy about that. They should replace it without a question. That's an obvious mfg defect

Here's my S6 I upgraded from. Third one that had it, verizon wouldn't replace it because they said it must be something I'm doing. I got real close to not getting another samsung.
This happened on my S7 Edge, and when I took it so Samsung they couldnt replicate the problem. They believed me though and replaced the display panel for me for free anyway Didn't even use up one of my warranty swapouts
