Eric Schmidt said yesterday at WS2 that it is not a Nexus 2. Actually he said "I only said there wouldn't be a Nexus 2"
Will Sprint ever see this phone?
The Other samsung Galaxy S phone looked pretty sweet also..makes me think wow.. the Epic will be off the throne soon.

That's fake. The phone on the left side is a Photoshop'd iPhone 4. The phone on the right is a phone that is already out and taken straight from it's promo shots. Didn't you notice that the two are completely different?

Not a chance, last night schmidts was running on T-mo, meaning its a GSM phone. Will there be a variant that is CDMA? Doubt it - mainly because of all the CDMA Nexus hype that went on while the google phone store was open.
I doubt we will ever get a true CDMA Google Phone on ANY CDMA Carrier. We might get lucky and see a world phone - but really really low chances for a CDMA only device.

Yeah this is what I think as well. I'm hoping that the Nexus S would be treated like the Galaxy S line but it looks bleak..Anything coming up for Sprint besides the Knight and Win 7?

Owned! or is it fail.. I had no idea really.. i've been had! back to the Nexus S... when are we going to see a Droid S? lol.
Then again..if anyone can pull off a CDMA google phone..it'll probably be Samsung...I mean if they got their phone on all the US carriers and 110 carriers..maybe with some pressure samsung can get the Nexus S on there...
Also I think it'll be called Nexus S..aka Nexus S(econd) lol
Anyone think it'll be sold unlocked like the nexus one where the phone can be purchased through google and be used with any carrier. Of coarse gsm on tmo and att and cdma on sprint and verizon...

Actually, yes. I've really grown to hate HTC. My first phone was the HTC Hero then I went to the Evo and both sucked. I then switched to the Samsung Moment then the Epic and I love Samsung compared to HTC.

Well lets look at it this way..Samsung making it == more goodies for us Epic users whether we plan to get it or not we can agree thats good lol
But realistically speaking Samsung will always have the advantage since unlike HTC they actually manufacture their own stuff...aka less likely to be effected by shortages and more likely to get more expensive hardware at the same price.
A lot of people who don't like Samsung say they make good hardware but bad software..but with the Nexus S, Google is going to do the software...so best Hardware + Best Software = win..no?

Then you never experienced the keyboard on the TP2. I can honestly say the KB on the epic is garbage when compared to the Touch pro 2 keyboard. I'm waiting for the HTC knight if it comes.

I just wanted to say Thank You Very much to all the Devs that made my hero as good as it could be but I've now moved on to the Optimus S which Kicks ass. I sure wish we had CM6 for that phone along with Deca's Kernels
I loved my CM6 Hero but once I used an OC'd Optimus S, I just couldnt not get one. $49 phone that scores 9.5 on Linpack, 1352 on Quadrant and 54.3 FPS on Neocore @ 806 mhz I mean this phone rocks! This thing kills Angry Birds lol. I have around 275mb of free ram and even clocked at 245/480 on Conservative its much faster than my Hero (no lag) with 2 days of usage.
I have better reception and Incredible battery life. I'm talking 2+ days on moderate usage. Probably around 3 days if you didnt use it much at all. This thing is incredible for the price.
Anyways Thanks again for all the hard work from Deca to Darch to Impaler we have a great team over here at XDA and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Just bought one for 185 new on ebay. but its for my boy and xmas. Now i gotta figure out how to talk him out of it and give him the hero come the 25th.

LoL. I was playing with one my friend bought and moded and was like holy crap this thing kills my Hero So I decided to get one and its awesome! Even startup is like 15 seconds as opposed to a minute on my hero. I'm thinking about getting the EVO shift later on but this will keep me going for a while.

Hero con froyo
BestBuy has the Optimus S free this month on contract. I do believe that I will wait for the Desire Z (Evo Shift). That and why on earth would anyone come in here praising the iphone? My old and slow Hero is way better than any iphone I have used or seen, but that is my opinion and I will keep that where it belongs.
Well I am going to rant a bit. My stepsister (4g), her father (3gs), my mother (3gs) and my wife (3g) all have iphones. I will not use any apple product but, to say the least, know a bit about them. When any of them have an issue with their computer, iphone, or vcr, I am the one that has to fix it. It just pisses me off when a damn iphone user forces their opinion on everyone else. I understand you like your phone, but I truly believe that you are probably an idiot and/or a Jehovah's Witness/Mormon (not meant to offend but those religions seem to be the most pushy).
Have fun with the Optimus S. I'm holding off for the Evo Shift.

Looks like the HTC Evo 4G will have Gingerbread:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/23/sprint-htc-evo-4g-now-shipping-with-gingerbread/
Samsung Epic 4G still working on Gingerbread:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EE19.rdf
Who will get it first?
they will. not shocking concidering its their "flagship phone"
If the EVO does not get GB first, the EVO's owners will howl, and it will be a major coopr for Samsung, considering the EVO was out MONTHS before the Epic
Typo! Epic still has a good chance!
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-now-touting-evo-4g-android-23
of course they will.... everyone knows the Epic is their ginger step child...
We all know whats going to happen: HTC EVO will get it before Epic 4G, this is going to be the story for Epic users all over the place.
Ah, and once they release the official update, they are going to pull it and just forget about it, just like they've done the last 2 times.
Did anyone see the article was updated?

If you're referring to me, it was a joke.
And honestly, that's pretty immature of you to say something like that. Why bag on us? If you were mature, you would keep those things to yourself, you asshole. The competition between phones like the Evo and the Epic in this thread wasn't mean't to be serious. Besides, if you really have a problem with this community, then get the **** out of here. You obviously care a great deal about your phone as well, otherwise you would not even be here. So please, next time you try to degrade this community, think before you post.

the respective release dates from over a year ago are essentially irrelevant to current updates.
I think the Evo guys are gonna be pissed if we get it first. I had both phones, but I hope the Epic gets it first, cause it deserves it after all the BS with 2.2
no seriously... EVO is pretty much taken care of... they have CM7 do they not, so they are skipping the stock GB part...? I think the ONLY reason we are getting GB is because of the FroYo disaster... so if they get their panties in a bunch... well thats entitlement issues... then we can see who is investing in quality hardware (Epic) and who tried to by the most expensive, unnecessarily hard to get, cellular penis.
OK, tried to be nice.... Ive got nothing against EVO owners in general, nor the phone or even HTC... Im disappointed with Sprint for only giving a crap about that thing and nothing else.... I really think HTC pulled a microsoft gaming and bought their way into being seen as the best.
You people are divas....
Everything isn't a conspiracy nor are all manufacturers out to screw you. Things happen...mistakes occur....updates are delayed as a result. We'll either get it or we won't. The issue with Android is that its the first of its kind...its an OS in the hands of several manufacturers and it gets updates fairly regularly. iOS is one one manufacturer...Apple. Its easy for them to keep devices current. RIM is Blackberry...they can focus on theirs. Windows isnt as widespread nor do updates come out as regularly. Android is everywhere. It's not easy to stay current. End all this entitlement crap you people have got. Purchasing a device expecting it to stay relevant and current is retarded. I'm glad we got froyo...ill be happy if we get GB but I won't lose sleep....don't expect anything past that. But I've got my Nexus S and hopefully that will ride as far as the hardware will allow.

Oh so you agree that cutting out the influence of manufacturers/carriers will help reduce clusterfux and make things easier, hence your recent purchase of a Nexus S?? It would appear you weren't happy with the update issue as well, as thats really the only good reason to get a nexus s when you already have an epic, no?

yes that's why i returned mine, canceled sprint, went to verizon and got good service and a kick ass phone now. for the ns4g users that are waiting for this "fix" to come, i hope it comes soon for you guys.
when i get employed again and can get off my familys account on sprint i was thinking about Verizon or ATT. those are the only 2 companys i haven't tried.
i had VZ years ago but that was before there were such thing as smartphones.
i kind of have a thing for the Droid charge, really wanna get a feel for that phone

How much is the difference in pay? i'd be lying if i said i didn't care how much lol
I had a HTC phone and enjoyed sense but i'm more of AOSP guy. HTC is still quite difficult to unlock but it is possible. it took me 10 minutes to root my nexus after installing the drivers.
AOSP is the way to go man. Speed and reliability over Bulky sense anyday
Well I jumped ship and got myself a EVO 3d. Made sense to upgrade this phone for only 50 bucks out of pocket.
Was able to give them back my EVO 4g for 150 bucks and I had an upgrade and only paid a grand total of 49.99 plus taxes!
Thanks everyone for the help with my EVO 4g. I even traded in my phone with the Synergy Root still in effect lol
I still can't validate giving up root/AOSP to get an upgrade.
I'd rather wait the little while and see what my options are.
Hope it turns out well for you though, you definitely bought it for a nice price.

That phone is for other countries, what was it Korea?
It wouldn't make any sense for Sprint to have two phones the exact same but one doesn't have the 3D (which can be turned off on the phone they do have)
Its more likely there will be an Evo shift 2 and another Evo in summer '12.

This is exactly what I keep thinking when people keeping bringing up the EVO4G+, first of all, it makes almost absolutely no sense that Sprint would bring a phone so similar to the 3D to market.
Second of all, why not just get the EVO3D if you want to upgrade? Just because the camera is 8 megapixels on the EVO4G+ does not mean it will be better in the least. It will likely lead to photos with more noise, if anything.
Is the 3D screen really that much a detractor? Do people not realize that viewing 3D content is entirely voluntary and optional?
These EVO4G+ misconceptions really need to die.

Like I said in the "my take on the 3d" thread below....I think that 99% of the complaints about it are because "3D" is in the name.
If it was called the Evo 2 and still had the 3D option people wouldn't be saying the crap they do now.

The EVO is a great buy at $99. I bought it last year and now have the 3D. With everything that can be done through rooting it runs like a champ and dev community is still supporting it fully.

well if 4 > 3 and G > D then wouldnt the evo 4G technically be superior to the evo 3D?
I get upgrades every year so it doesn't matter to me whats coming out next. I have multiple phones on my account too.
My main reason was the battery life, I have heard and read it is way better than the Evo 4g which I can already tell it is.
IMO the evo 3d is superior to the evo 4g there both 4g phones. And yes the Evo 4g is still a good buy espcially for 99.99 Give it some time and the developers will get some awesome roms and mods out for the 3D.

Like I said in the "my take on the 3d" thread below....I think that 99% of the complaints about it are because "3D" is in the name.
If it was called the Evo 2 and still had the 3D option people wouldn't be saying the crap they do now.

I honestly just think it's aesthetically unappealing. The lack of a kickstand is also a downgrade to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone as is, but just not worth an upgrade imo. All it has to offer that the OG EVO can't do is 3d.

The EVO is a great buy. There are two types of people buying the EVO 3d.
1. People who are falling for the gimmicky 3d feature.
and
2. People who just want bleeding edge technology.
As of right now and for at least another year, there isn't a thing the OG Evo can't do.
It has one of the largest dev support and is overall just a great phone. I'd however try to get the EVO off contract because in another year or so there's probably going to be something legitimately worth an upgrade.
So SamsungJohn is back and since the Vibrant has not received an update to Gingerbread I think we might get a final answer as to whether not we are getting it.
(I honestly couldn't care less I'm happy with my phone but it would be nice to know for sure).
So SamsungJohn, do you have any information like you did with Froyo?

Yea sorry to burst your bubble, but im pretty sure his big announcements are going to be to announce upcoming nexus devices.
I doubt we are going to see an official Gingerbread release for the vibrant because it doesnt just pop up over night, an official release require extensive testing, the likes of which usually result in leaks or at the very least somewhat substantiated rumors. If you recall in our wait for Froyo we saw countless leaks over the span of several months.
I for one cannot wait to see the announcement for the prime and other nexus devices. Im through with carrier branded devices.

Oh I already know that the big announcement is probably in relation to the upcoming Nexus device. What I was talking about is post #15 where he says:
Thanks Chainfire, please do stay in touch. As for me, I'm going to check out some of the XDA Samsung forums and see what's been going on.

Vibrant is a Samsung device so I thought he'd come in here and people might be interested in getting a definitive answer whether or not the Vibrant will be getting updated or not from a legit source.

Ah my bad, i only read the first page :x lol
I got his attention:
SamsungJohn,
I'm not meaning to harrass you at all, but is there any way you could shed some light on whether or not the Samsung Vibrant will be getting a gingerbread update?
It has been in question for a long time now, seeing as the other SGS devices got it... we are all kind of wondering why it was left in the dust. I mean, Gingerbread improves on the CPU the Vibrant is equipped with, bringing it to its full potential more-so than Froyo.
I, and many others purchased the phone on a 2 year contract with updates in mind. Its only a year old phone, it seems kind of rude that it has already been abandoned (if that is the case) I know you don't make all the decisions there at Samsung, but If you can see it from our point of view, could you maybe speak with someone that does have control over the situation?
I love the Hardware, beautiful screen, and Samsung in general... But please John, tell them they are going to lose future customers if they drop phones after such a short amount of time. It irritates people who bought a phone with the SGS label, and already people are seeing it as inferior to device to those of the same timeframe, such as the G2... Because HTC has kept the phone updated and their customers happy, Many of them will return to HTC for their next device.
Thanks for your time, and being a part of this community.

Hello imitebewrong,
I haven't heard anything about the update for the Vibrant. As soon as I get some valuable information I will let you know.

Seriously I'm not hoping anymore, I'll just be disappointed anyway.
I just hope we'll be have a port of custom rom ICS.
Why don't you guys just use this as a freaking learning lesson. Don't purchase anymore Samsung phones (exception Samsung made Nexus).

Lol! Samsung is quality and there notches above everyone else and everyone knows that. Plus we have XDA for updates in my opinion

Maybe your energy should be focused at Tmobile, who had proven track record of not providing updates.
I do believe that going with non carrier based phones is the correct track.

I am not sure what SamsungJohn's official title or job is but he is certainly not in customer relations. He has never given a decent straight forward answer. I almost think I would rather have a lower quality phone that gets updates than a high quality hardware phone that never gets updated.
I love my phone but not releasing updates has made me think my next phone and tablet will not be a Samsung device. I have a 2.2.1 wifi Galaxy Tab that has never seen an update and a Vibrant with only one update. And to be fair, the update to FroYo on the Vibrant was something that it should have shipped with to begin with. To compound the issue we get no response or time frames on any updates. That is just horrible customer service.
Thanks for the hardworking of T-mobile or Samsung,
I wont get any Android products without "Nexus" in their ass
I will stay with T-mobile because it suits my current needs. 2 lines $130, unlimited un-throttled data on both; but I will never buy another phone that is not Nexus.
I almost rather be the douche with an Iphone, know it's being locked down, have less features, etc, but know I will have a working gps and support in 6 months. Being able to make calls....well they are all just holding the phone wrong anyway.

I'm really not sure when people are going to get it. It's Tmobile to blame, not Samsung.
