Hello All,
I feel like I hit the Lotto, My Nexus one is schedule to be here friday by 3pm. I got the confirmation phone call from Fedex today. Im coming from a G1. I feel so excited to finally have the N1 in my hands. I have so many Q's for you all but Ill start by reading the do's and dont's. But give me some love everyone...
You wont regret it, thats for sure.
I hope not the $576 was pretty brutal.
Great device - certainly worth the money with all of its capabilities.
Congratz! Once you get it in your hands, your whole life will change for the better!
You'll love it man... You'll notice you'll grow more beard too once you get it, lol... Well maybe its just me. hahaha! Enjoy!
I also ordered it yesterday, should be here today =D cant wait.
Using it in the Netherlands, hope i wont have problems :O
By the way I paid 580$ for mine... I think I got ripped off! lol...
To get you guys even more excited, Compared browser speed and I just saw my nexus one owned my coworker's iPhone 3Gs first hand, and he asked for a rematch this morning. He got owned again. Specially after using dolphin browser. thought I'd share.
It's an awesome phone. I was nervous about finally moving away from a physical keyboard, but I'm so glad i did. It also makes my iPhone friends jealous. Mostly because of the live wallpapers, lol.
Thanks Everyone, I just woke up and all im thinking about is when the Fedex courier will be here. I cannot wait.
mine got delivered on trash day and when i herd that truck at 9am I was soooo excited just to see my damn trash man :-(. do yourself a favor and dont looke window everytime you think you hear a truck.

Haha too funny because at my office I was the man with Kings Eclair Rom with live wallpapers on my G1. Until a coworker got a Droid. So Monday morning I'll be holding my head high and regain the title at work as, Top Phone Guy and Phone Guru again..

haha, You guys are killing me because I just did that. I took off work today and I awoke to a sound. I ran to the window and it was trash pickup. I heard that diesel sound. haha
I just got my NExus one, its charging now...im scared to even touch it..
I say we wont see it till July or August. Also n1 will get it last....
Just my thoughts. I figured we'd still all be waiting at this time.
Although I'm happy with the leaked as its good. I'm starting to want the final release ....
Well I bet I'm right. Atleast no June release IMO ....
Flame all ya want. Its my turn for my opinion. Lets see who's right. I say end of July..... and the Evo and incredible will get it first. Official that is.
I thought the Nexus already had it?
I'd guess that all phones running Sense will get it around the same time.

*insert flames here*
I will choose to respectfully disagree.
its already out on the N1 why would we get it last?
no disappointment
for me
Final build is always way far behind the great developers cooked ROMs.... so i am not worried about final builds( i never saw one without issues) as long as XDA and its great minds are here.....
thank you all for you amazing work......
just got offtopic idea: what will happen if all the XDA devs together make a seperate OS for phones?, idea itself is exciting me

Obviously because Google already has a leaked version on the Nexus one they will abandon all the progress they made and will focus entirely on gingerbread or possibly just twiddling their thumbs.

Uh no its not out. We got a unfinished version for developers....
Just saying watch. I hope I'm wrong but my gut feelings say atleast July. I bet we don't see the over air one in June...
When does the iphone 4 come out? I'm guessing it will come out around that date.
what are these "problems" that everyone seems to be having with the dev build? My phone is snappy as hell and i havent got any FC's besides a few launcher ones right after install. Nothing since.

I got no issues either. That's why I'm wondering what's taking so long. Its ready and if not 99% there and that was 3 weeks ago.
Hell cooks here work faster than google.

You're insane. The N1 is the only phone to date that Google has proven actually be WORKING on 2.2 for. How could we POSSIBLY get it last?
I don't mind the wait. CM is still pumping out good stuff for me to play with and i tried the Froyo test release and it was pretty nice as well, though it felt very generic and not really Nexus One tailored. Hopefully the final build introduces some new features and stuff that's specific to the N1.
Since 2.2 includes JIT (really big change), there are likely lots of little wrinkles that need to be ironed out.

Not sure. Just a gut feeling. Not really we will get it last. But I bet its released very closely with the others.
What the hell is taking so long? Just saying my opinion and how I don't see us having the official by June. And I wouldn't be surprised if htc are already working on the Evo and incredible.
I think its bull honkey. Imagine if there were no leak. Everyone would be pissed.
The unofficial is pretty stable. I don't see another 3 weeks to fix minor things when cooks here do It in a week with more bugs. Hell 2.1 was buggier than this and they had a update fast for it....
Just getting the feeling things will slow
We don't need another new speculation thread. Please help keep the forum clean and continue discussion on an existing thread.
Facebooks official vibrant group just post the message. Oooh yeah!

And which of the many Samsung Vibrant's on Facebook is the official one.
Its off the many samsung vibrant pages which I'm not so sure is the "official" page anymore. Probably a blonde moment. Uh I'm going to sign of now. Sorry for the false alarm peeps...

As early as this month doesn't sound too concrete or confirmed to me. They haven't even pushed the 2.1 update with gps fix. I hope I'm wrong though.
As far as I know, this is coming from a Samsung tech employee in Finland, and is only stated for the international Galaxy S. I wouldn't expect this by the end of the month for our US Vibrant.
T's Response
I called T today to find out about the GPS fix that was leaked to come out today. I was transferred to T's Android Rep who stated that the GPS Fix is to be included in 2.2 and that he did not have a time for the release. He could not even speculate on the time frame for a release but that it was in the works and coming soon. I would not expect the update till late November but before Christmas. It could be pushed back even farther if there is any chance of there being some issues with the update to 2.2 The last thing Sam and T want is bad PR it would be a loss of sales and loss of customers. I believe they are going to test the crap out of the 2.2 update which will be nice to have a great stock rom.

Stop with your speculation. If Samsung waited till November, no one in these forums would still have a Vibrant. Every other phone to come out in the last few months has been updated to froyo (Droid X will be out soon, but has seen many leaked versions). Waiting till November would be a deathwish for Samsung. By then, Gingerbread might be out then the whole process would start over again.

Froyo. I don't even know what it was (a yogurt desert) before buying an Android phone, now I see this word on a daily basis. God Bless Xda.
you know what. im kinda tired of seeing these threads. I think Sammy And Tmo are gonna take there sweet ass time with this. Seeing as they alreay have your money from when you bought the phone ($400 full price, $200 New 2 yrs contract, or a penny if you got on the amazon ****) they dont really have to care. They provided a phone that worked. that was that. they dont have to update it. if they wanted to they could be like yeaaaaa **** it. and there is nothing we could do but cry and build our own roms for it.
Tmo has us real good tho. they get you for the monthly and if you ditch them before 2 yrs is up hey guess what your shelling out another 200 bucks for nuking the contract LOL. its all about money. theres rumours left and right about when its gonna get 2.2 - if it does it does if it dont it dont. not much we can do

I almost agree with you here, aside from the fact they did NOT give us a working phone. Try your GPS on your stock Vibrant and come back and tell me it works

That's why I got no contract. I'll just mosey over to verizon or sprint or one of the many other carries with a Galaxy S phone once they come out with Froyo.

I went through all the Vibrant Facebook Pages and found the one mentioning Froyo and there is no way in hell that is a Samsung managed page.
a) They bag on the Captivate - Samsung wouldn't do that
b) July 14th - Said "I just played with one" - Why would Samsung say that?
c) "Their review" links to http://thetechninja.wordpress.com/ - Why would Samsung do a review of their own phone?
So, rumor squashed, there is absolutely no basis for believing anything posted to that page. The OP here should not have said its the official Vibrant page when it clearly isnt.

Nothing to add except that I thought it was funny that you began with "stop with your speculation", then proceeded with your own speculation.
I love how people make posts about "hey man, i read this somewhere", and somehow REFUSE to post a link.
Do you think we're stupid?
Post a link or it's BS.
Here is the link the OP is referring to:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Vibrant/129061660469467?ref=ts
Take note from my post above that there is no way in hell this is official Samsung news.
I know we have the leaked versions and the DEVS are on point with the developement for what they are givin to work with but i mean come am i the only one whos upset the US hasnt got the update but the UK,india Etc. has?? is my info wrong? lol im just saying im not the impatien type but jeez if i wasnt a member of XDA i would be pissed being on stock and waiting,,,and waiting...and waiting lol the roms is whats been keeping me sane i know the update is coming but....anyways love my eipc just thought id share my frustration lol im over it now..
The EU versions came out first, and their cycle of doing things there is different then here. Be patient as it is coming.
bleh...
<RANTING>
YES YES YES i am totally with you on that! If it where not for the DEVs work hear i don't think i would still have my Epic don't get me wrong i like the phone a lot, but when i spend my MONEY on stuff i don't want to be the GD BETA TESTER for a company like SAMSUNG with DEEP DEEP pockets filled with money, engineers etc... 2.1 had bugs in the GPS STILL DOES! just to mention ONE (AS HE GLARES at his samsung monitor..typing) It's now Dec 3 and its not out YET
</RANTING>
Now yes i would like samsungs people to take time and FIX all the BUGS and not give us a crapy 2.2 but i have a feeling the SPRINT is the reason its taking so long as they put there BS blotware on
I figure when Sprint rolls out Froyo everyone will be running as fast as they can to a custom ROM. So why not skip the wait and have it now? Then you can stick your tongue out at Sprint and show off your really cool Froyo...
@computerkid23 - There are probably like 50 posts on people complaining about it..but at this point most people calmed down...its better off this way trust me...

Thats because the more stable the original files, the better the custom roms will be..
until of course we start compiling roms strictly from android source..but if it was that simple we would have had froyo ages ago...maybe with info from the nexus S it will be possible..
Mark my word, Froyo will arrive Nov. 29th

I'm really hoping it will be the 6th the would just be a big android day with sprints name right in the middle and free press. With the drop of Nexus S and Gingerbread...actually scratch that I don't want to hear everyone ***** about how we are a version behind on launch day of Gingerbread.
Sitting on fence
I've been holding off buying Epic until Sprint updates to Froyo. It's been quite a long wait considering so many other phones have already moved to Froyo. (Don't really feel like messing around with ROOTing for custom ROMs.) I guess I may end out waiting longer for next HTC Android iteration with a slide out keyboard.

Wait, where was it confirmed that Nexus S or Gingerbread was launching on the 6th? Google has an event on the 7th for the launch of Chrome OS dont they? Cant imagine them having 2 launch events so close to each other.
If you look in the Dev forum, it looks like it's out today!
I miss you!! Today i lost my htc evo with the damn stupid gb 2.3.3 and filed an insurance claim... Crossing my fingers i get a froyo 2.2 refurb replacement!! I've been seeing that some poeple have been lucky enough so hopefully im lucky enough as well =) fingers crossed............ If you miss froyo 2.2 show your luv!!
cool story mane
Do you miss Froyo, or the ability to root your phone? Big difference, because the stock Froyo build was, in my opinion, garbage. If I have to have an unrootable phone, thank God it's with 2.3.3 and not the factory ROM that I had when I got my first EVO.
well if you end up getting a GB phone, the only other thing you can hope for is that it has S-Off
Quite honestly, I don't think the GB update is that bad. I would rather be able to root and install CM or Decks again, but being that I can't, I am starting to grow fond of the stock rom. I just wish I could get rid of all the bloat!!
Same problem here when I got mine it was stock gingerbread with s-on so I'm looking on xda everyday for root hope it comes soon I miss my kingdom rom

@ MaxCarnage - Yea i guess you're right. I do miss being able to root the HTC EVO. Dont get me wrong I actually think that Gingerbread isn't that bad but just not being able to root it drives me insane!! according to the Trackin number it should be arriving at my house around 3:00 PST so fingers crossed till then =)

Not trying to rain on your hopes and wants, but I just received my replacement from Sprint and unfortunately for me it shipped with 2.3.3. I'm not going to pay damn near $600 for a 3D, so Im trying to get use to the fact that I can't root mines right now neither.
It is what it is! I figure a non rooted updated phone is better than not having one. Nonetheless, good luck on that..
Uuuuuuuugh!! Noooooo!! It came with GB 2.3.3 =/
CLJohnson i hear you buddy... It is what it is and will be until root comes to us. But yea im really not feelin to spend 600 on no 3D either
