I'm sure this guys is great, but I can't stand his voice or the way he talks, it's like he's stuttering without actually stuttering. Couldn't even finish the video. Just thought i'd post this here for you guys to check out.
Also the way he reviews it, it's as though he's got his mind up that it's a horrible device and he's trying to make other people believe the same thing.

On a side note, why are you watching review videos? You already have the phone now, lol.
That is probably the most techno illiterate tech reviewer I have ever seen, that and his voice is like that of Steve Urkel just shrill and annoying..ouch..
I hate Chris Pirillo.

This video is pretty funny.
He is complaining and shaking his fist at the screen because there is no pretty animation of the interface switching from port to landscape?? He loves his iPhone, that's for sure. Android is just too much tech for this guy's Apple reduced brain capacity. He needs something simple with shiny buttons and pretty animations.

Well, to be fair, if you're going to do an animation, you might as well do it right And if you can't do it right, then don't do an animation at all. Like my X1, when it switches modes in Panels, I appreciate that they added animation. It's not the smoothest, but it's a nice touch. Certainly wouldn't begrudge them for NOT adding it, though
agreed pretty annoying.. he created the video in a way to look as if android is difficult to figure out... seems like an apple fan boy to me, not just based on the fact that he bashed android but the way he was doing it.. for one ive never tried swiping the lock screen up, just found it retarded that he was making that seem like it was a problem
Holy crap, this guy is a ****ing idiot. Complaining about not being able to swipe up to unlock? Screaming about the setup menu saying 'Setting up your PC36100?'
The Apple force is strong with this one.
I loved how at the start he says "It should say you have to swipe the screen down to unlock!"
3 seconds later the screen flashs "Swipe down to unlock."
His response. "Well it should have said that from the start!"
A problem that is only a problem for 3 seconds the first time you EVER use the phone is simply not a problem worth mentioning.
" Sprint foo? Is that like spring kung foo? " yes braniac that's why there's a helmet on the picture.. do you know what sound a cow makes?.. moooo .. idiot

i'm kinda old school and hate video reviews. i'd rather read. it makes it easier to skip the boring parts, shakey cams, and annoying voices.
Why ***** about a review?
The guy is an apple fanboy and an idiot, but it's no big deal.
Just down vote and be done with it.
That's what I did.
Wow... I think from now on, when I read anything written by an iPhone fanboy, this is the voice I'm going to hear in my head.

<_< I probably shouldn't say this, but I feel like giving everyone a chuckle. I don't own an Android device, but working with them I get to play quite a bit. That said, whenever I see the lock screen, I instinctively try to swipe upwards. Down just isn't intuitive to where my fingers are already placed on the screen. This happens every time, it just doesn't feel right to me
Luckily, I haven't been subjected to the video review... Can't watch it at work, and from the looks of comments, I'm glad
i like to consider myself a fair person - i'm not a fanboy, and i respect negative reviews of android devices even though i feel as a whole, android is pretty nice.
with that said, when i saw this moron IMMEDIATELY complaining about something as trivial as the dots on the lockbar, i logged into youtube just so i could "dislike" his video.
doesn't chris know!? htc/google purposely made the lockscreen like that to weed out and baffle all the apple fanboys! they pick up the device, and because it doesn't expressly tell them what to do with it, they just claw and poke at it like a mentally handicapped ape, eventually giving up and going back to the protective dictatorship of stevie jobs. without someone else doing all their thinking for them, they can't even get past the lockscreen of a more advanced phone.
good. lord.
and i pity the idiots out there who honestly find a flaw with something as small and irrelevant as that.

i agree terrible review
and yes he is an apple fanboy but then again so am i and i love the evo
i would rather have a evo then iphone
1 thing i absolutly hate is complete fanboys who say mine is better cause i like it and i dont wanna try the other or when i did try it i disliked it because i dont now how to use it yet
not a complete fanboy but i will say i usually lean to apple more so
ps3 - 360
macbook with ubuntu, windows 7 and mac 10.6
ipod touch and htc evo
What a ****ing joke.
Chris knows nothing ever, infact his major is English.
He is not a dev, he is a douche. The whole review was a review of the unlock screen.
Isn't Chris Pirillo that call for help guy from TechTV who later became a 9/11 conspiracy theorist?

What are your thoughts?
Has this remotely something to do with the WP7 core?
Can it be ported to other devices?
These phones are clearly intended for the "social generation"; success / fail?
well i actually like it. it just shows how awesome windows phone 7's full blown version will be. isnt it ironic that most of the KIN website is done is flash.... lol silverlight WHAT?!
also i like that we wont have to worry about LAG from now on lol...
Looks really good....nice as drinking a can of 7up !

i quite like the kin2, but the kin1 looks like a tamagochi to me and a 5mpx camera with such small screen? dunno :S
Don´t like any of them
They should made something spectacular instead of this...
But MS will never loose....

lol, A wink to iPad/iPhone/iTouch maybe??
But yeah, strange indeed.
My impression regarding KIN
The buttons of the KIN2 could be somewhat bigger, maybe have some other look to it, They look like shiny, cheap plastic buttons out of toys..
But then again, these are mock ups, maybe they look and feel great IRL (doubtfull, but no way to tell at this moment).
The Kin1 looks like a girls-phone, there the design works, and the buttons actually look better.
The bottom piece is bigger than to top piece, I wonder how that will work out.
But the resolution of both screens are low:
KIN1 320x240 (QVGA!!)
KIN2 480x320 (HVGA)
And Kin2 is supposed to be for video watching?
Come on, please enter the year 2010, I am not asking 1080i on a mobile, but VGA/WVGA is totally feasable..
EqX
What the hell does kin mean? Why did my apartment cut off my cable? Why is my mom orderin cable from at&t? Why am i mad? Why am i writing in all caps? Why do i prefer kin 2!?
I think it's a good first attempt at cutting into the Android/Palm market. I know plenty of chicks that would be into this stuff.

I don't. 10+
So these are original, running wp7 core, purpose designed, well built, purpose packed, zune pass over the air, updates over the air... retailed with Verizon which the kids like...
I think MS got a winner, it will sell well, the UI is gorgeous.
If this gets the backing of XDA this could be amazing.
The lack of 3rd party apps is a slight worry though.
I wasnt expecting anything good with these phones after all they are made by "SHARP" and SHARP suck d**K in technology products. For those that own a product sorry...what ever you say it sucks and I am not interested in your comment.
Bare in mind that these 2 phones cover the section of crappy (low tech) handsets in the market.....like from Nokia, SonyErric, LG etc.
If you actually compare the CRAPPY handsets out there and chuck these 2 in with them these phones actually PWN them all !
SO well done introducing something new and PWN'ing the crappy handset market.....NEXT !!

You clearly haven't seen some of there Japanese phones, there actually quite good.
They look 'kin awful.
I think the KIN ONE looks cute we will have to wait to see what they really like?
This Kin stuff, aren't Microsoft like wasting resources on another seperate os?
This is kind of neat. You could argue it's not really a smartphone, but I like it. It's a brilliant piece of minimalism - it's all the essentials done well and nothing else. The big question for me would be the browser. If the browser's great then I can really live without most apps, if not I can imagine it feeling restrictive after a while.
To the gentleman above, I don't really think that MS is wasting resources here. They're probably reusing a lot of the same code, and just tweaking the UI for a different effect. But what an effect! I really don't think there's anything else like this one the market.
Neither appeal to me...you would have thought MS could have done way better than those relics!
Do we even know what screen size each device has? I will say I am kind of envious of the fact that the Kin 2 has what could be a nice 8mp camera with flash.
Honest to god those might just be the two most hideous phones I've ever seen.
I wanted to love the Evo, the specs are awesome, the screen is huge, web browsing is blazing fast, but the user experience just leaves something to be desired IMO. I hope these issues are resolved with future updates and/or Froyo and I may be back!
The main cuplits in my opinion: Touch screen lag, the unresponsive screen, the lack of 4G in my area (and still have to pay the $10 premium), the FPS cap issue, the jittery and stuttering pinch to zoom in browser. Hacking/rooting the phone is WAY too complicated and risky compared to the iphone jailbreaking
Minor gripes but still annoying: the lack of 'next' and 'previous' buttons in browser for filling in fields, landscape keyboard has no 'send' button in SMS app, landscape keyboard mode in general takes up the whole screen so you cant see where your typing without hitting back button, no way to turn off the 'text reflo' feature in brower...sometimes its more of a hassle than a benefit.
I have a few days left in the 30-day trial and have made the descision to take it back. If these issues are resolved, in which I hope the official Froyo will address these issues I will happily ditch the iphone and jump back on the andriod bandwagon.
Do it then, not like it's a life changing decision. If you come back, the forum is still here.
Ok..........
Could care less but the enter button on in works as send also you don't hit the back button u hit the keyboard button to hide the kb
Sent from my Evo on on the Now network from Sprint
oh and duck Apple

Good luck.
A lot of people are going to post some hater remarks because you're going to the iPhone, but objectively I actually do understand where you are coming from. It's pretty angering to think that HTC delivered a gimped phone with major quality issues marketed as the best phone ever (and it could have been!).
Yes, most of this can be fixed via the community (thank God for that!) but it's still frustrating that it is happening. Hacking the phone to where HTC should have built it as voids the warranty and any kind of support. I think that's unacceptable. We waited months and stared at countless blogs reviewing early releases just salivating over the phone. Once it got here it was quite an awakening for some people. Thankfully because of XDA, we can say screw HTC and "fix it" ourselves.
A lot of your gripes are more with the Android OS, which I think is wonderful but understandably is not everyone's cup of tea.
I just played with a friends Iphone 4 and I have to say its a nice appliance. I can definitely see the draw.
If your already questioning your Evo decision, then do it.
Having said that, its not for me. Doesn't satisfy my inner geek...
and the point of this post was.......?
i mean if u wanna have a phone that u can only hold in ur right hand and pay more munny and have data limits..go ahead but dont post it on here like the iphone aint got probs either..every phone is gonna have its probs especially when they 1st come out

I agree completely. It's a nice phone but it doesn't have enough for my inner geek. Feels too dumbed down. Even jailbroken.
Haha you might want to wait until after they do the antenna recall.
What I mean is ALL phones with how they push them out nowadays will have issues.
Rooting is anything but difficult but if you can't do it then perhaps the Iphone is a good choice for you.
Fully agree with aridon..
If you aren't into getting the most you can out of your phone get a damn iphone!
I prefer choice, and i'm not a follower.. so android is for me.
That said most of your problems will be fixed with froyo and the rest (UI and aesthetics) will be fixed with gingerbread.
By the end of this year I fully expect these phones to rock
what a totally useless post this is nothing but

Rooting is super easy if you can just follow the instructions.
Having owned the 3g and 3gs and now the evo... along with a ton of other htc's I can tell you the number one reason people dont stick with these phones after the switch... too complex. No thing to me as i've been tinkering and flashing since the vogue but some folks just like the empty interface/pages of apps because its simple.
iPhone guy. Gah. We get along great now, though xD

There is no point arguing with a apple fanatic, its like arguing with a rock.
Maybe if you throw in works like "wonderful", "fantastic" ,"incredible", "awesome"...
lol at "sketchy" and "bit laggy", thats so non-technical and abstract coming from a nerd. (probably never even tried a nexus)
Otherwise you should have showed him:
your battery,
your sd card,
a ps-ef from a shell (sh, bash etc),
your ability to use any working SIM,
navigation, voice recognition,
your ability to hold the phone any way you want

I agree on all of the above. I was going to say, at one point, "at least I don't have to put duct tape on my phone to call people" xD, but decided to leave that out. And - another thing - even a Jailbroken iPhone is barely customizable. It was late and I didn't want to mention that, because I would have stayed up for another hour arguing with him. I would have, too, if it wasn't so late. xD
It makes me laugh when Apple fanboys say that a Mac can run Windows 7. Then why the f*** did you get a mac? lol. I've stopped arguing with Apple fanboys for the reason that britoso mentioned.
lol iOS4. finally caught up to what winmo and android could have already done.

The iPad is too bulky, imo. I'd rather carry around my laptop. And I do.
And Mac's aren't that bad, they got some super sweet media editing software, that I love using. But still.
I have no qualms with any Mac computer...I think the OS is slick...I'm just real nitpicky and I honestly hate the lil dock bar (good for looks, but nothing more, give me a taskbar anyday over a dock bar) and I also LOATH the finder bar...give me the menu in EACH and EVERY app...many other things I just don't like...and many things it does indeed do better though...I do not like the explorer either...(same with Ubuntu btw, but that's customizable to an extent so a non issue)
The main appeal of Android IMO is it's desktop like feel....Especially with ADW or LauncherPro installed...no sea of icons can beat that IMO.
I love that everyone thinks they're "a hacker" because they can complete a three-click jailbreak.
Although I will say that the same applies on the Android side. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM based on instructions found on the internet doesn't make anyone a hacker either. The hackers are the ones that did it first.
Well, Technically, all a Hacker is, is someone who is taking something and making it do something that it wasn't meant to do. And android was meant to do bloody well everything. So there's not much hacking going on here, is there ;D
Yea I'm still new to Android but I was able to whip up heavily customized versions of the latest Windows Mobile build in no time. Even Windows Mobile gives you more choices when it comes to user interface and tasks.... it just runs ****ty and ugly (although the later builds are coming around).
Nothing beats Android though. I tell all my friends and family that have iPhones that "Android is like an iPhone on crack"
Wow.
Just wow.
p.s. (It's just a phone you have no stake in)

But wait.. the iPhone 4 does have the most advanced antenna design ever. It's "revolutionary."
Oh, and you should've told him that you don't have to kill your warranty to tether for free.. or pay 99 cents for a flashlight app.

People need to prioritize, they critisize it because it does not have a dual core CPU but really what good is that going to do, its a phone. It isnt like any Android app is that CPU intensive.
no HD video, doesnt matter either, HD video on phones still isnt anywhere comparable to a HD video camera. the resolution may be there but the quality isnt.
I for one rather take on time and priority Android updates over anything else.
I do like this phone, and glad i sold my N1 before the market for N1's shot down.

Damn you!!!!! Lol, I just bit the bullet on eBay on my N1, and yes, prices are lower, I took $50 less than I would've a week ago.
And criticizing something they dont own is the same thing people did with the G2, then people found out it was a really great device. It doesn't help companies or end users when people prematurely "bastardize" a device.

The Nexus 1 got ripped in its first few weeks for its dodgy clearpad 2000 screen which has support for only two touches at a time and its overlapping axis... This just shows you people are never satisfied. The N1 is one of the most important phones in history

I absolutely agree. before I got the phone I read so much crap left and right. All the whining about dual core, no sd, etc...I buckled down sold my N1 and bought the Nexus S the first day and there is no looking back! best move I could have made. The phone is awesome, it's already rooted and will give you the best android experience without the bloatware(sense, touchwiz). Technology moves so fast and people are never happy. Right now, this phone kicks ass!!!

I used to hate Samsung phones (especially regular phones), but this one seems to be the best phone from Samsung and it looks very cool.
No memory card is the only thing I don't like.
I still think Google and Samsung could have done better than this. LOL. LOL
Anyhow, it sounds to me that if you already got rid of your Nexus One you don't have a choice but to now love your Nexus S.

I think this is the first topic I've read without reading a single post whining about this or that. Kudos to everyone in this topic and the whiners that didn't post in this topic. I say whiners because I see it in almost every single damn topic I read through.
I agree. Hopefully in a few weeks or so we'll see all the naysayers and doomsayers pass.
One day and we already have boot unlock (though that was admittedly pretty simple), custom recovery, root, and an optimized kernel. I only see bright things in this device's future, but that might just be the amazing screen!

Not sure why people are hating on it so much. I havent taken my hand off it for a couple hours and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth my hard earned $560
"Samsung Mobile" (from Facebook) just posted the 1st add for the Galaxy s2 on YouTube:
It can't be too much longer folks!
If only the phne truly was waterproof like the advertisment.
Samsung logo, here it is
Yep, that was posted a few days back in another thread. Looks nice and sexy.
It was leaked a few days ago but now we've got it from Samsung Mobile directly, so that's a good sign indeed!
Whatever you do,whenever you purchase SGS 2

Do you know those Red Bull commercials that "supposed give you wings"?
What if one of those commercials had a young kid jump off a building thinking he could fly?
Ok, maybe bad analogy but this commercial will have naive people thinking this phone is water-proof.
There are other ways to show the the brilliant display without confusing people and thinking what may or may not damage the phone

I see your point. I hope most people see the text during the commercial that it is not waterproof xD
My first thought about the commercial was that it was original and funny.

I thought so too. Very original and humble, in my opinion.
Don't laugh but my first thought right when she dumped it in the fishbowl was.."so this isn't like the water marks of the iPhone? It doesn't void warranty? It can actually survive minor water accidents?"
Again, don't laugh.

LMAO!! definitely....
and please keep it away from childrens
Nice commercial; they're realizing that the average consumer doesn't need to be blown away by specs and CG graphics to buy the product. I hope they make more that showcase the qualities of the phone but they are heading in the right direction.
I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials
This is .. The worst ad ever !! The worst ad ever !!

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.
