If yu guys read below in the update it states this isn't a sammy phon but some others company's voip hanset. Would be nice...

If you click the link about the VOIP handset you see that just the side view pic is from that.... i think someone wanted to show the "sleekness" and since it is not a finished product they "borrowed" another picture

Wow F U samsung

There standpoint on Gingerbread for their flagship phone, basically a big F U to their customers
“Such a review will be based on various factors including, without limitation, the overall effect of such Update to Samsung products, the system requirements, the structural limitations, and the level of cooperation from the component suppliers and the software licensors”.
“If Samsung decides to make the Update available to the users after such consideration, Samsung will use its efforts to develop such Update, which may be released to the users upon successful completion of such development”.

While I am not siding with them - they really aren't the same devices. If they were we could easily port vibrant and captivate roms. There is clearly work that has to go into each variant of the SGS line. It would probably make the LEAST amount of sense for the Epic to not get 2.3 officially. Primarily because of its 4g Radio and Front Cam - features that the others lack- even though our device is probably the most complicated to get working right.

Dont forget landscape mode for the keyboard, led light too....
Well oh well eventually we will get gingerbread on our devices and if not im sure ill have a new phone next year anyway so froyo will hold me over til then...

In my opinion this is a conflicting report with what that one leak tweeter/w/e he was said. Samsung didn't say no, they basically said "Um, well, uh maybe?" so it has, at least in mind, just as little credibility as some guy saying we were getting it. Just have to wait and see.

But its not only our device. Theyre talking about their whole galaxy s line. Samsung says we will think about it, while htc says we're working on it.
I love my phone but damn you samsung. If only htc had super amoled screens, and put decent camera sensors in their phones..I'm really considering that HTC Knight

This may very well be the last straw that makes me sell my Epic. While I realize that Samsung doesn't owe me anything, until people quit buying their phones, they'll keep jerking us around. HTC, here I come.

lol trading my epic for an evo this weekend!

I have 2 people wanting to trade their Evo for my epic. Samsung doesn't support their products as well as HTC, and it sucks. For some reason, I think they would rather put out new phones with Gingerbread and make you buy the, than give you an upgrade.

Yes, yes, for profit. We all get that they're in the business of selling phones, not giving free updates. That's why I read an interesting blog about paying for OS updates a little while back. I'd gladly pay a few bucks to get honeycomb or ice cream on a 6 month to year old phone and to have them out in a timely fashion. Then Samsung and all the other manufacturers would have an incentive to actually put out updates for phones as well.

Galaxy s will have 2.3

According to the samsung facebook page it says they will get 2.3. They even talked about some of the improvements.

This lol. All the 2.2 roms depended on Samsung's leaks as a base to have full functionality.

This would be exciting if we had received 2.2 back in September, when it was promised. Samsung is a joke, but we all know that already.

I don't see it. And if it is true, I'm guessing it'd take til June of 2011 to get it in the Galaxy S. Which then would be delayed to July, then August, then September.....
I really think Samsung does it on purpose. I've gone through so many scenarios as to why they are delaying FroYo for so long, and I just cannot reason it. I am certain it is on purpose. Why? That's the one million dollar question. Could it be to sell more Nexus S'? Could be. But no one knows for sure except Samsung...
I just don't see how a company as big as Samsung can't devote the manpower to put this thing together and up and running months ago.

Because Samsung never have to made products that needs long term commitmenets. They make TV, Monitors, and Flash Disks, and dumb phones which were all sales are final kind of product; as long as there are no large manufacturer defect, it's pretty much end of support - minus some lemons.
They did have the omnia series, but they develop the OS in house, but was also slow as hell to push out updates. That's the only counter argument I foresee.
Overall, Samsung is just very bad at software, kind of like Sony before PS3.

Tip! Only believe what Google says!

wow! we all have this phone and are apart of this site. doesnt that stand for something? like the people who have this phone and know nothing of the mods or roms here really do love this phone. they might not be enjoying the luxuries that we have but they are content. besides if i can enjoy gingerbread on this phone before i upgrade it to something newer in the future, cool! if not i will enjoy all of the spectacular work that has been shared by the devs of this community!

what year did they say 2013? As others have stated Samsung has failed to deliver on 2.2 I think 2 or 3 times now and keep pushing it back.
Why would anyone have any faith that they are going to release 2.3 when they can't even get 2.2 out?

lol imagine if samsung gave us straight 2.3 and skipped froyo

I hope this will make it to our Vibrants. Seems silly to make it exclusive when they could stand to make a lot more money selling these games to all high end phones.
EDIT: I read in an interview with Jack Tretton (on engadget I believe) that Playstation Suite is only for Gingerbread, and that it will come to the only phone available right now with Gingerbread, the Nexus S. So I don't think they'll limit it to SE phones, but we will need Gingerbread if we wanna get in on the fun.

Hopefully this will allow us to send and receive messages form our PSN accounts to our phone. i would love to be able to get my ps3 messages on my phone!

yeah I read about this on cent or engadget a little while ago but from my understanding the it's only going to be able to run on Nexus S phones and the new dual core phones that are coming out. But either way it's rad and I hope they do end up making it work on the Vibrant

abd how come nexus s is different from my vibrant besides camera flash and lack of external sd ? if it runs on nexus runs on vibrant

The Nexus S runs Gingerbread while the vibrant officially does not. That's what people are getting at unfortunately. So unless GB is in the works by Samsung and carriers are actually going to push it through to the devices we may not officially see it. But we all have things like CyanogenMod which makes everything a bit simpler in the long run.

Is The Galaxy Note The Best Phone Ever?

In spite of a few gripes (let's face it, no phone can suit everyone) the Galaxy Note must be the best phone ever made. It has no major issues and is small enough to be used as a phone and big enough to be used as a Tablet. It is also at the forefront technically and will soon be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich.

No. Its just bigger and it has a pen.
And it will not soon be updated to ICS.
But it is the phone I like most, and I have had a few.

You seem very hung up on this point and are using a lack of official statement to conclude that no update will be forthcoming. Has any manufacturer put a time table on updates. HTC announced a few phones today that will be upgraded to ICS, but put no timetable on the process.
I'm willing to be patient and see. At worst, CM9 should be available, and if someone can extract the s-pen apks then that might be good enough.

I think its the fastest/highest resolution phone available at the moment?
Certainly it has the largest screen, but that does not automatically grant it the "best" title. Some would even consider the size a negative.
Its lack of NFC and a notification LED are among its draw backs. The s-pen is awesome and the fact that its optional makes it only a positive.
In the end it all comes down to preference. That said, it would certainly get my vote for best phone ever.
