Could be the next vibrant? (if T-Mobile picks it up)
http://androidapproved.com/item/samsung-galaxy-s-2-i9200/
Give me the specs of that phone with the exact same body design as my phone now and I might shell out the money for something like that. I don't really feel I'm lacking much with my phone as is so that might not even be an option
Sexy Vibrant featuring Sombionix 1.9.1, JAC's OC/UV, FFC installed

I agree. I don't really like the look of the phone if that's the final model. I like the design of the vibrant. One of the few things Samsung got right about the phone.
Nice find. Those specs look mighty delicious.
Great specs.

4.3-inch SAMOLED2 display at 1280x720 and 340 dpi
Holy ****, yeah, I would leave my Vibrant for that.
I personally find the squarish design quite sexy.
What's really crazy is that those specs mean it's better tricked out than 90% of netbooks out there.
Ill take the 4.3 inch screen. My sister has an evo and that her only form of braging right because the vibrant w/bionix smashes her's with a custom sense rom.
Plus the 2GHz
That thing is so fake(IMO) it would suck too because the first vibrant just came out. Why would they release it so soon?
That's an amazing device. I would do everything in my power to pick that up if Tmo gets it.

That's just someone's crappy rendering. If you follow the link to the FCC page and view the label location PDF you'll see that it's rounded like the Vibrant.
If that device is real. Its to high end for tmo. Verizon maybe sprint. But lolz at tmo

Ahh yes That would be nice
If true it would be nice. i do miss the HD2 size. For me a slightly larger screen would be nicer as I would like it to be more business friendly. I'd go for a 4.5-7 size screen if they could work out the battery issues, but then that's just me. Nice specs if it is real.......and yes TMO will have it if it does come out.
No Android device is going to have 2ghz in 2011, let along Q1 2011.

Samsung is the business of kicking out hardware for the android market right now and the primary reason software updates are taking a back seat. Samsung doesn't have resources to dedicate. Whatever software and/or hardware problems encountered, the customer will ultimately need to except partial operability. Samsung is on rise of becoming THE android manufacturer. This new device doesnt surprise me.

It seems from the good work at Engadget that the Nexus S will be a stock android phone running on Galaxy S hardware with a front facing camera. If this is the case, and it comes to Verizon as the original was supposed to, it would be nothing to port these roms over to our phones seeing how the alleged hardware is exactly like ours with a camera. We would also see development ramp up as well. Interesting indeed.
Interesting assumption.

I would assume yph are correct. Best buy leaked documents on phandroid say its coming out on Nov,14. Though it will be T-Mobile. That will just give all the GSM galaxy users gingerbread I would assume while we wait til 11/11/11 to get froyo.

Slim to none. Just like Verizon and Sprint were gonna get the N1 but ended up with "like" devices with "comparable" features in the Incredible and Evo.
Verizon will likely not ever have another developer phone(d1 was/is) because they can't control what goes on it if it is like the N1. They want to have complete and total control over their phone.

There is no way this phone is the same hardware as the galaxy s..........for one the camera is different, the flash placement is different and so is the speakerphone placement!!!
Lets get realistic and sad our phone is official outdated.....the nexus is the standard for android!!!
I hope im wrong!!

One of the posts on this phone connected to flckr. They looked up the model number of the phone and found pics connected to it rated at 5 mega pixels. Same as our phone. The screen looks to be the same size and allegedly samoled. Even if it was just a developer phone, we could always pick and pull what we want from it, just like we so from the other galaxy s variants. It looks like hardware wise, we aren't going to be much different. It's been approved by the fcc, a while ago, so theyprobably didn't get a chanceto change much. This is all speculation of course, but it makes sense.
A,tually there is something past 1ghz...droid 2 global

You go ahead and let me know when you find a place to buy one, or a price, or a release date, or any official specs, or any official recognition that it actually exists. With that said in the magical rainbow farting unicorn world where it's available already it of course is better than anything that ever came before it or would ever exist so of course we're all taking our real phones back in exchange for the rumor.
Since the phone isn't even out yet...I have time to get my "phone fund" card paid off so when it does launch, i don't have to pass on either

Hearing the rumors regarding plastic construction and no HSPA+, doesn't make me want to purchase it regardless if Google is behind it or not.
As much as I hate saying this I might have to go with the nexus s,simply because there will be more development(sorry as great as a phone I believe my Mt4g it has next to none dev support because they all purchased their silly G2s sorry had to vent) for as soon as it lands their all over it because supposedly itll be backed by google as a dev phone..follow them on twitter cyanogen teamdouche their all in...as much as I hate samsung im all over it to....but if we had some dev love id stay put because so far this is the best smartphone ive purchased.....kirkcodycobain

Samsung, yuk. I CANNOT believe Google went the Samcrap for their next Nexus. I will NOT be wasting my money on another Samsung phone, EVER. I'll keep using my N1 for flashing and hacking and my MT4G for everything else.
P.S. Did you notice that the power/lock/wake button is in the same uncomfortable/almost impossible spot to use just like the Galaxy? Idiots.
Samsung? No thanks.
My last Samsung was the Omnia I900. Gotta say the company went down hill after that device and lost my influence with their sorta cheap design. The MT4g is a heck of a phone and Google direct support or not its going to get alot of love in the future from Tmo and HTC I bet. Ill stay with HTC.

Yeah that's the only reason that I'm reconsidering to get the evo 3D for nexus s but the GPS issue with Sammy's phones piss me off if it would made HTC it would be a non brainier, I know HTC is delaying to update the HTC evo to make people buy the new phones but I don't think is right, at the end I might end up staying with my evo and get the ipad 2 I got apps on my iPhone the looks like.they got ipad support so wouldn't have to buy them again LOL

And this is why I'm leaning towards a Nexus S over the Evo 3D.
i saw this thread just before i made one with the exact same topic. you beat me to it.
ya i agree. samsung has leaks out for some galaxy s already, most of which are still eclair btw, and now motorolla has leaks for the droid x and 2? what the hell is going on here? isnt htc supposed to be the company that comes out with everything first? when gb came out, there was a thread that said htc would update ~ February, motorolla around april, and sammy like summer. this seems completely backwards to me.
and didnt an htc rep say they were working on gb for evo around when nexus s was announced? i kno implementing sense is hard and takes a lot of difficult coding and stuff, but 4 months should be more than enough time for paid professionals.

Exactly what they want, Hell if we can get GB with sense 2.0 I'm sure most people are still going to buy the Evo 3D, it's a dual core phone! Of course most of us will buy it.

If they pushed 2.3 for the EVO before the EVO3D was released it would actually make me want to buy the 3D more.
When I go to buy a phone now that I have experience with them.. I will look for a couple major things.
1. Battery life. Let's face it, new features are nothing if your phone dies in 6 hours.
2. Manufacturer/Dev support. If the EVO only gets one update then has to wait until the latest thing comes out before it gets another... then that's a HUGE setback for me, especially if we have a locked bootloader and AOSP roms aren't possible.
Samsung has a horrible rep but the battery life on their phones are reportedly outstanding. They aren't locking the phones down. They did stink it up in a HUGE way with the 2.2 update but if they push 2.3 out ASAP it goes a long way in my eyes.
I HATE HATE touchwiz, but if the phone isn't locked down then it doesn't much matter.
Samsungs phones are locked as well... the evo is too. Motos new phones are encrypted which is the problem.

I think a lot of people thought exactly what I thought. I saw the galaxy getting the official leak and thought what is going on. Htc is usually first on the scene with this type of stuff. Then today I saw motorola getting some love from the leaks. If both companies drop gingerbread before htc it will look bad on htc. They will be on 2.2 and everyone else on 2.3 and with the evo being seen as one of the best, it would be a shame. I hope HTC changes their mind and just drops gingerbread. I will even take Sense 2.0 and nothing else right now. The new features can come later.

Agree I don't care much for gingerbread what I want the most is a 100% working sense 2.0 desing for Evo with 4G , I know myn work in a nnice rom but I'm sure everyone agrees when I say that if HTC realese will be more stable and all features working and let EVO developers get their hand on it
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
i think...
moto and sammy are doing market clean up and PR repair.. knee jerk reaction to some surveys done last month about which OEM is faster and better support of upgrades/updates. HTC as at the top of most.
so here is moto and sammy trying to get public favor back. before they release their next big phone. and as most knee-jerk reactions.. the implementation will not be stable and full of bugs.. or low in features.
then back to waiting for the fixes and updates for the upgrade issues.
HTC is staying the course with their proven market strategy.
but I do hope that the quick release of gb on moto and sammy will quicken the gb release from htc on evo!
I was just wondering what phone you guys are waiting for, I'm personally waiting for the sgs2, hopefully it comes out soon enough. Seems mostly everyone has gone to the g2x already.
if they did go for the g2x already i feel sorry for them in my opinion. ive seen the reviews and no way is it even close to sg2 not even close to htc sensation. im gonna get either one of those, preferable sg2!

Precisely.
The reason why a lot of people have gone towards the g2x is the big support from the Dev community. Unlocked bootloader + source has already been released.
Not to mention sg2 has no release date for the u.s, others couldn't wait.

These are reasons why people in this community would buy or take a long look at it, seems like a good phone and most reviews are quite good. Samsung and there slow updates, and lack of source make a tough phone for developers and now that HTC and Moto are locking their bootloaders, its gets harder to dev's to make the fun they make.

Hands Down SGS2, I love being able to tinker, but even if I cant I love samsung hardware. I gotta say for support though, LG or HTC
I never understood the craze over the g2. Is there something with current roms that you don't like?
Idk about craze over the G2, but it is a fantastic phone, especially for emulators in my opinion, but thats because you can get some nice clocks outta the CPU. I got one (well, not mine, I tinker with my friends) running @ 1.8ghz, and thats pretty sexy playing OOT on there perfectly (almost) In regards to roms, you mean for vibrant? I have no problem with anyones work =) just prefer my own I'm working on =P
I understand that the G2, and all second gen snapdragons for that matter, can clock high, but is there any application other than emulators that use that power. After all, developers have to take care of both the low and high end phones. Plus, you are killing the lifespan of the CPU and lowering your battery life.
The vibrant runs fine on 2.2.1 and is helped by Samsung's GPU acceleration implementation in both the launcher and browser. And once the i9000 gingerbread roms start rolling out, we can only expect greater speed and stability.
Mostly people suffer from nuevo-addiction and waiting is just too much. Also, alot of people who have phones I have noticed once the phone becomes bugfree with lots of support they bail for a new phone to conquer the new phone system.
I am waiting for the S2
if you've got the money why nit? if I'm a millionaire I would buy all the latest android phone.

I'm looking forward to the sensation. The galaxy s2 wont be significantly better in terms of hardware, and I've got a real bad taste in my mouth from the lack of support my vibrant has received from Samsung. Locked bootloader or not, the sensation is still a pretty good looking phone that I'm sure will perform well.
Worst case scenario, I buy the sensation, hate it and return within 14 days, wait for something else to be released. My vibrant and hd2 should keep me happy until I find something great.

To me the problem is buying a carrier altered edition of the phone. The international GS seems to get upgrades just fine. They don't have to wait on Samsung AND then the retarded carriers with all their alterations and other BS. That's what owning my Vibrant has taught me. 100% international & unlocked only from here on in. I'll be buying the International SGS2 as soon as I can, no US version for me ever again.
all i want is a new google nexus phone with a notification led duel cameras with flash and a duel core processor then ill be happy
