Why doesn't the vibrant have that?
It has all the google apps?
Because Samsung doesn't feel they have to continually throw Google's name around to get hype.
The phone sells itself.
although that is true, the galaxy s outside of the states has the "powered by Google" or something similar to it. the reason we don't have it on our phones in the states is because they are big on advertising the galaxy s series of phones, and they have a galaxy q series coming out at the end of the year or beginning of next year. they want the galaxy name to be synonymous with great quality
I think the first version had it to get people interested and now they can sell it in the US based on the international versions success.
It's simple: It's not a "Google Experience" phone, like the MT3G or G1 was. It's a "Galaxy S" phone, with TouchWiz3.
Do HTC Sense-based phones have "with Google" or "Google Experience" on them anywhere?

Yes. They do.
Some of the motoblur phones do as well.
The whole "google experience" nonsense was pulled out of a bloggers ass for page views.

Whatever you call the iphone like scrolling through apps
This question really confuses me... Obviously there will be enough "pages" for however many apps you have? Do you expect to download apps and have no way to access them?

Because it is annoying when people think all smartphones are iphones and an android phone is not an iphone and never will be an iphone and I am glad my vibrant is not an iphone and is instead an android based smart phone because I do not want an iphone and it is not an iphone.
By the way. The Samsung Vibrant is not an iphone.

Overall the voting is just meaningless. If anything, it should be a legitmate voting process with email confirmation with IP based on mobile operating systems. All these phones are Android, who cares if they beat another Android phone? The real competitor is iOS.

In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

His join date is also a few years before Android phones even came out, so my guess is he could be rocking any number of phones. Not everybody on the XDA forums posts in the one they own in particular. It could have just been a Gingerbread curiosity in general and it came up in a search.

this is the general section. and the nexus & evo3d or any future phone that will dethrone the evo is worthy to talk about here. it's upgrade time for most of us and probably most of the devs including toast. nothing wrong with having a discussion.
Knowing Sprint, we will probably get a keyboard variation of that phone. Epic 2 or Epic __, maybe a new name entirely. EPIC 3D would be funny lol (1st Qwerty 3D phone )
It does seem impressive, Samsung seems to be cleaing up thier updating track record too. The only excuse I have of not buying it is the weaker XDA backing. Not to say there will be none but I prefer HTC + XDA.

The interesting part is the rumor that Eldar Murtazin spread this week in regards to the Apple-Samsung lawsuit, about a Samsung Galaxy S3 upgrade that is coming late fall, with 4.5" edge-to-edge Super AMOLED Plus display of high resolution, and no hardware keys. These same features Apple is said planning to introduce in the iPhone 6, which will appear many months after the SGS 3, which must have annoyed Cupertino to no end.
Click to expand...

Essentially, Samsung developed features for the Galaxy S3 that Stevie boy wanted to release in the iPhone 6, so Apple is trying to slow/stop Samsung in court, so Apple can be the first one to release those features.
I'm sure Sprint will get a variant of this, its the successor to the Epic 4G. I just hope that this time it doesn't have a hardware keyboard. I think this phone would be the best choice for the next Nexus phone.

Pass. But if it's good for Sprint and not bad for their network, hope people are happy. An iPhone right now would actually be a big step down from my Epic, for all kinds of reasons. Android forever (translated from Geek: for the foreseeable future until they **** us folks ;-) ).

I have casually tried both iPhone 4 and iPads and never received the impression that they were better spec-ed than the latest Android or even Windows equivalents. Now that Apple is at war with basically anyone who isn't them in tech world, I think they will consistently lose any raw horsepower race (Samsung may not want to sell to them anymore for one). Maybe they will retain an edge in usability for some people, but they are the design kings, as long as you don't despise iTunes like I do, and price gouging.
I'm jumping with my wife. I started on AT&T and iPhone then moved to sprint because cost of the plan. I've seen both sides and so far you can't beat the stability and battery if your willing to drink Steves koolaid!
Looks like I finally made up my mind about what my next phone is going to be. Iphone 5 is it. I was gonna get the Epic Touch but quickly remembered the fact that my phone is on 2.2.1 in an era where Android is at 2.3.6, and how frustrating the Gingerbread leaks have been so far. Not to forget the fact that Samsung doesn't even have the courtesy to share their source code or drivers so that we can create our own up to date roms. I'm never dealing with Samsung again. It's been a nightmare.

As opposed to how up to date Apple keeps their phones. With Apple you don't even have to worry about late updates. Ios frees you from that hassle. You have great, fast, stable, low latency audio software, and you can jailbreak your phone and customize it as much as Android in terms of appearance and functionality. Plus you have much more games and apps. Can't lose.
