So as my old thread kinda pointed out before, the Samsung slider Verizon was getting was awfully similar to our Epics in appearance. And guess what? it is real and it's being released soon. So what I found to be interesting about it is that it runs on the exact same hardware as the Epic! Well, that is, excluding the processor -__- while we have a single core 1ghz processor, the Verizon slider will sport a dualcore 1.2ghz processor. The real reason behind this post is this: this to me sounds like the closest sibling our Epic has in the Galaxy S family thus far, so with the processors being the only real difference, will we be able to port anything from it over to the Epic and/or will their source help us in any way to further advance development on our Epics? Hmmm...

Well, that one would hurt. So, they have a stable, problem free Cingerbread on that phone already? EDIT..it doesn't say that's going to be dual core for certain. They are comparing the stats of the Galaxy S2

So there still might be some hope for us afterall. The mandatory 18 month support deal google is enforcing now means that this Verizon slider will hopefully get up to ICS, and if we can hopefully find something useful from it ( like port some of its ROMs, kernels, use some of its source) then we might have a shot at extending the Epics "life" right? I'm being hopeful because as bad as I want to jump ship to a new device, I'm not ready to give up my physical keyboard just yet.
EDIT: ok, just reread it JC and your right. As of now, all the hardware specs coincide with our Epics, the processor it will be porting is yet to be announced. It does say it'll be a "budget phone" in another article I read, so considering high end devices at the moment are sporting dual core processor 1.2ghz and up, I'm willing to be it will also be a 1ghz single core like ours

Unfortunately I wouldn't doubt it. The Galaxy S line(Not 2) was handled horribly. We should have been like Samsungs personal nexus line with support and updates, but not a single phone got that. Which isn't bad in all truth. But it could have went better with ICS coming soon.
Also aren't we still within 18 months? It's been a year but not too much over it.

Yeah especially if we were basically Samsung's testers for Gingerbread on another similar device. I don't know enough about development to know if ROMs could be easily ported from it

Everything I saw about the stratosphere showed it to be exactly like the epic, just for VZW. Been waiting for it as my girlfriend has VZW and her renewal is this month. And the leaked pics I've seen of it show 2.3.4, so maybe if we're lucky we'll see the source for that and can put something together from it if we don't see official GB released by then..

The 18 month support policy wasn't being enforced until just recently so our Epic's, I'm guessing, won't get further than GB (officially speaking of course) Korey also stated that GB would be the final "dying breath" of the Epic support wise. So this could be our final chance at a big helping hand in development...

Highly doubt this will be relevant at all. Thinking there will be similarities in driver code is akin to thinking there was going to be similarities in our epics and other galaxy s's. And we all know how well that turned out.

Well what this handset has that the rest of the other handsets dnt is the hardware keyboard which I heard was a problem devs had a rough time with considering the other galaxy s counter parts had no hardware keyboard. Also, the rest of the hardware matches perfectly, all we need is the processor to be announced. I'm thinking this handset will help us out a bit somehow, but then again, I'm no dev, so take my "hopefulness" with a grain of salt

Accidently thanked you...
The camera will be different(1.3megapixel ffc) we have a .3megapixel
The keyboard however will be the same, 4 android butttons 4 capacitive android buttons 4" screen, the 5megapixel cam the same.

I think it will be similar. Verizon rehashed the Evo a little less than a year later. Verizon only has 1 dual core 4G phone. Finally, Verizon said they weren't getting a GSII variant and if this was dualcore, it would probably be considered a GSII variant just like the epic is.
Well they also have a better screen because they have a super amoled plus instead of a super amoled so they don't have to deal with weird subpixels.
Epic 4G, is that you?

Yeah, that would work as well. In any case, even if their source or porting any of their stuff doesn't help us, their device community would still be of great value to us.

Hey all
Someone gave me a Verizon Galaxy S. Is this a fascinate??
Anyway, I'm in the UK and this thing is CDMA :-( Any suggestions of what to do with it?
Yes it is. I would root it and unlock it if possible. The i would install a custom kernel and rom.
Btw i have a tmobile galaxy s, but the things you can do should be the same.

Because he said "Verizon Galaxy S" , so it must Fascinate
For OP : I live in Southeast Asia and im using Fascinate, just unlock the device and then inject with my local carrier (CDMA for sure), voice, sms, and data work perfectly.
Woah, Wait up guys, you seem to have forgotten something!
The Fascinate is not the only Galaxy S phone on Verizon! The Samsung Continuum (Crappy in comparison, no AMOLED) is also labeled as a Galaxy S!
OP, take off the back cover and take out the battery and tell us what is says for model, if it says SGH-i500 it's a Fascinate.

Unfortunately a pretty useless app.
I did not see that mentioned in the publicity.
That's always the problem with such proprietary software. If they really want mystory to be used they will have to release it for non Samsung phones too. Without support for other phones it is going to disappear sooner or later. I for example do not know one single person I can send mystory messages. I don't even know why I installed it

Like others have stated, the first Galaxy Note is coming to T-Mobile next month, so I would say its safe to assume that it probably will, but then again like everyone already said it's better to wait till they actually announce it...officially.

The next generation of galaxy note will only be a bigger version of the s3 with a few additional features, so if you don't like the s3, you won't like the next galaxy note.

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now
ps: looking forward to see the price tag on S4 and then the next Note. Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO. Saw S IV might give the boost, but still I doubt seen CM Dev's are turning their back at it... Dunno, I must evaluate, but no S iV Mini is a true upgrade option for me...

I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!
