Hopefully, after tomorrow there will be a much wider selection. I haven't been brave enough to actually pony up to pay for anything yet but, I have been pretty impressed so far with the quality of the previews that I have watched..

Can't wait, I hope they confirm Froyo because the G2 is getting right out of the box, we should have gotten that too.

1 more hour! I'm hoping engadget has a live blog to update the action.

Is this on TV or on their website?

Basically, Galaxy Tab is hitting all major US carriers, wifi only version in the works. No news about phones at all.

That's too bad. Tab's and another mobile devices are worthless without 3g. You're basically left with a machine that you can only use to it's fullest potential at a Starbucks or at home.

I'm officially starting to get worried about the froyo update. Samsung has had two major press events in the past two weeks and haven't even mentioned a word about froyo. I'm starting to think only the European/Korean models will get froyo.

^^I believe Samsung never promised the US phones to have Froyo in sept, just the different forums members did. The Euro Galaxy S is scheduled to get Froyo, NO ONE said the US versions will be getting it in September

Dude, Samsung and TMO have both said that we're getting Froyo... chill the hell out.

Why did you guys think this press release would be about their phones? Of course, you were probably thinking they would mention it somewhere in the press, but in actuality it was mostly about their Tab.
Go to this link: http://phandroid.com/2010/08/31/samsung-mobile-experience-event-september-16th-whats-being-shown/
And read what it said. "Latest Android device and media hub."
Just saying. That's all.

ALRIGHT. i think its time that we start a petition, or something towards Samsung giving additional information on 2.2 for their galaxy s phones. They think people dont care but we do!!!
Coming from HTC phones, developer phones, etc they are very responsive with what the community is asking. Samsung...not

Couldn't we just tether our phone and the tab? With mobile ap or any other tethering app? I would think if it doesn't work that way there would be an app or hack that could make it possible...

You know that they will not ALL be wifi only, right? There will be a 3G version for all of the big 4.

Yes, I am aware of that. I was giving a solution to the person I quoted. Not to mention that engadget is reporting that the 3g versions will most likely be sold on contract, possibly meaning you may need a data plan. I'm suggesting (if it is possible), wait, let the reviews from actual 3g users come in, and then by the wifi tab cheaper and off contract...

Tango Video Chat App is now live

Tango has released their video chat for iOS and Android, you can find it in marketplace or at Tango.me
Might not show up in the Apple market just yet, they're a little slow.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.

So does this mean we can video chat with iPhone users as well?

Fring already lets you talk with iOS devices.
What does this do differently?

Thanks for the info, will check it out.

Thanks for the heads up will try it now.

Just got done installing on the old lady and my evos. Video quality is much better than Qik or Fring.

Wow, that's what I have to say about the App. Its awesome, no push to talk button like qik. Way better picture quality, and its full screen. Also has a small button on the top right of the screen so you can switch cameras. I love this App, let's Tango everyone.

I guess we were holding it wrong.
I downloaded Itunes to updated her IPhone, and the damn thing wouldn't even update(3G one) Took me 3 times to download the updated for some reason, and then it tried to backup her phone and itunes kept freezing. So she said i think i cant get a upgrade the the Iphone 4, so we log into he account(which takes about 3 min) her bill was 100 bucks and she had a 39.99 plan(i about pooped myself) but with all the additions(text,web, etc.) it brings her monthly bill up that high.
Man im so happy im with Sprint!!
edit: that reminds me i better uninstall that bulls!t program they call iTunes

Um, hate to tell you, but HTC and T-Mobile have pretty clearly demonstrated their stance of Free Open Source Software. The whole idea of locking us out goes against the spirit of Linux and Open Source. They are taking the work of others, and using it to turn a profit, screw the user in the process.
My G2 goes back this week. **** you T-Mobile, you just gained another b-stock G2.

Got mine til next Sunday. If no perm root by then, its going back. Guess ill have to stick with the vibrant, but oh well, at least its rootable.

give it time the vibrant is a nice phone no doubt but the g2 will have way more support for one being HTC and two being stock so being able to mod things for the g2 willsorta be how the nexus one is..which has great support who knows g2 might have 3.0 before samsung has 2.2 lol dont quot me either way you have a great phone

I understand, believe me. But I got this phone for its speed, which it def has, its support, being HTC, and the root ability, which is not here, yet at least. I need tether, bad. I hate the vibrant, but its so easily rootable. And I have tether. Had sprint and the evo. Left it for this phone. No regrets other than the crap they pulled on this phone. I wanted the hspa speeds, the vibrant I had right before this one, got almost the same speeds. So why not go back?

Hate to tell you, but the bug referenced is not a bug-as-in-a-hole-to-be-exploited. It's a bug in behavior, where changes to /system are thought to be successful by linux but actually aren't. Instead of getting a this-is-read-only error, the write appears to go through. And when the cache is flushed or when the phone is restarted it's apparent that nothing was written at all.
That said, work is still underway.

i had the vibrant...and i got the feeling i was going to get burned by samsung the g2 came out.... what tuesday? but if you feel you be happier with your vibrant by all means do what you feel i miss the mp3 player but not enough to turn my back on HTC lol i vowed to only buy HTC from now on oh and have you tried pdanet for tethering its free check the market my gf uses it for her laptop

How much can I get for my g2?

So I have a g2 that came from htc and has an imei flagged as a test phone. I was the first one with tethering and wifi calling and have gotten test OTAs since then. I'm getting the mytouch hd. You think my g2 is worth any more than normal?

Personally, I would not want it at all. Never know when they are going to send you a "special" OTA and do something that cannot be un-done.

This op is one of the ones that got the OTA a few weeks ago. He never made it clear to anybody that it was a special test phone at that time (although he did state it didn't come from T-Mobile). This sent everyone into a tizzy thinking there was the possibility of an OTA for the masses being sent out.
That being said, I'd a pay a small premium for that phone over a standard G2. Risky as far as warranty goes, but that's true of anything you buy used I suppose.

Definitely not crippled. Everything works phenomenal.

I don't understand why this device is worth more, all it has is a test imei that allows for test otas. It's not like it's nand unlocked and can be broken into. No offense to the OP, but once we get the nand unlocked, people that root, won't be looking forward to OTAs, except for new releases of Android instead.

What magic can be done with it? Can it make my mortgage payment go down? Can it make my Ex-Wife disappear? Hell, maybe I would be interested as long as you have proof that it can do magic!

a cop was trying to pull me over, i took my sweet time before i pulled over, even sped up some. when i finally stopped he was pissed. he asked me "why didnt you pull over when i put on my lights, and you even sped up, are you crazy? you better have one good explanation". i replied: "well, sir, my ex-wife left me for a police officer, and i was speeding because i thought you were trying to bring her back". he cracked up, and let me on my way without a ticket.

What is DJ05? That's a terrific question...

Dj05 is an update from Verizon. The official one is not released yet. It is a fix for some features. Like the soft key backlight now stays on with the screen. It has a GPS fix and numerous other ones. The one You hear about is just a non official one.
As for the who.... that's not of your concern

DJ05 is a mystical update only spoken of in the depths of IRC, also known as infinite rainbow colors.

thanks whatsup.. good answer
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

The update is all over the place right now. I dont know why people are having a hard time finding it. And it boggles me why its not being posted in these forums.
But if higher-ups dont want it posted here thats the way its gotta be.
Either way look at it like this....this update will be out before 2.2...........so 2.2 is far off for us!!!

One line of the channel log from Verizon says its a preperation update for "2.2 due next year"

I read a post around the beginning of the DJ05 teases that amounted to, "if we released this on the forums, there would be an explosion of new 'My phone doesn't work!!' threads the next day". I believe it's not fully public here more for the protection of the end users and sanity of the devs than withholding goodies. The #Samsung-Fascinate channel of IRC is where the devs hang out to work out kinks, if you're interested in participating before broadcast release.

The "higher-ups" don't want it posted here because the "higher-ups" are trying to protect the people who leaked the ROM in the first place. Test builds are often watermarked and traceable.

I'd be surprised if verizon doesn't leak this stuff themselves. They can monitor the forums and chat rooms to see how well it works and they get free beta testers who can't complain to them if it breaks the phone.

Aha! So you admit it! You are a VZ employee! You and ksizzle!

Learn to read lol he said he didnt work there. lol
as for the update... friend of mine that has it and it helping to test it for VZW has told me it will be another month or 2 for official release still far to "buggy", 2.2 that is....
on a side note i saw the new VZW Galaxy S LTE phone this weekend... its a prototype but freaking awsome!!!
the screen is crisper, has front facing camera, its a bit wider than the SF, but still very light. Comes with android 2.2 out of the box. from what i hear the data rates can be as good as 25M down and 8M up.
I must say that i was quite impressed with it...
unfortunatly i could not get a picture of it, my friend has alot of integrity.... sometimes thats a bad thing
