just want to let you guys know my cousin and i went in to a t mobile store to speak to a rep about the vibrant 4g. we wanted to know if it would be worth exchanging our old vibrant for the new ones. he stated that there is not a lot of hard ward difference was just the FFC and that's it. the software change only being froyo. he said if it were him he wouldn't switch. He also said the official update for froyo was actually released through kies about 10 days ago. i wasn't aware of this just though i would share.

The differences b/w the two include:
4G radio in SGS 4G
16GB internal SD card on the Vibrant
FFC on SGS 4G
2.2.1 on SGS 4G from the get go
SGS 4G comes with Inception movie as a multimedia feature on included 16GB external SD card.

If this is true, why would someone buy vibrant +? Just for ffc & hspa+??? I don't understand samsung's marketing policy here.
One thong is for sure...its gonna give consumers alot of choices which is always a good thing.

Okay people, please stop coming to the Vibrant threads and doing nothing but bash the Vibrant, Samsung and T-Mobile and all that usual crap. The Vibrant is still one the most powerful devices and really only has ONe flaw that cannot be easily fixed with a new ROM. And that flaw is the GPS. It is not even as bad as people are making it out to be either, I use it constantly and each new kernal only improves it.
Yes, the Vibrant does not have an official 2.2 from T-mobile, but this is more T-mobile's fault then anything. ATT Galaxy S devices already have 2.2.
I know, the Vibrant does not have a FFC, but who actually uses it and if so, what for? Yes, it does have big omission of a flash for the camera. I don't mind this sacrifice since I have the fastest phone of anyone I know.
Okay, sorry for the rant.
I have no issues with Samsung devices and they are imho, a really good electronics manufacturer and I have not seen one bad device from them. I would love to get my hands on the new Vib4g. In fact, if carriers had better upgrade policies for phones, I would probably get it, or at least wait for the dual-core version coming in march.
Captivate has no 2.2. No US galaxy S devices have it. Get a clue before trying to reprimand, IMO.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't think Samsung cares what you guys think. They've probably got until June the dual cores start dropping in force; in the meantime the will likely sell a lot of these as they will branded hspa+ 21, the fastest phone in T-Mo's lineup.

I am sooo sorry that i made the mistake and thought that the ATT had 2.2. I just remember reading about a 2.2 update through Keis for it.
Man people can be such asses about the most inane things.
All I was trying to do is express my annoyance, in my rant, about reading nothing but bashing of the Vib in the Vib forums. If you don't like it, that is fine, if you have moved on, that is fine. No reason to hold a grudge and look for any reason possible to ***** and make yourself seem superior because you have "found the light".

Let's look. Hmmm. Nope.
The only way they might be able to make it up to most of us is by going straight to Gingerbread or by offering every Vibrant 3g owner a more than 1/2 percent discount on the new Vibrant 4g with the return of the current Vibrant 3g.
My biggest issue with Samsung is the lack of being straight forward/direct with us. Every question they've been asked about the update or rumors about our Vibrant being able to utilize 4g speeds Samsung won't even say yes or even deny it. It definitely makes me wonder. Its sad cause they definitely make great hardware (minus the gps issue). They probably hesitant on releasing Froyo 2.2 because the release of Froyo will prove that the gps issue is hardware based.

Well if you're waiting for the SGSII, give it a bit. The one that has AT&T bands just went through the FCC only yesterday (March 11th to me). There is a post about it on pocketnow.com. I'm thinking it's actually the one for Bell Canada some the model is the GT-I9100. The ones for the US should be here in a bit.

We will get it. The new Conquer has it and it is basically an Epic. I think they want to resolve the reboot issue that has plagued new Gingerbread releases from the start. Then they can wash their hands of the Epic and not worry about any more maintenance releases.

Not tried the leaks but it seems like the only real remaining issues are the reboots and the GPS. Can't understand why the issues exist for what's now legacy hardware, but once they fix them we will get it officially. I'm not concerned about that.

I don't blame Sammy one bit, I blame Sprint.
I could be totally wrong, but my personal opinion is if the Epic had been on say Verizon this update would have been long since finished.

I want an Epic2 so bad right now, I think the last rdf pushed me over the line I'm affraid to say...
I wish the epic2 had a keyboard. I'm probably going to hold off on getting any new phones until the next good android with a slide out keyboard. in the meantime I really wish they would put out source to our Dev's who seem to have a much better handle on debugging and let us get our cyanogen on. Hell with a good cyanogen 7 rom I probably wouldnt get a new phone for another 2-3 years.
Agreed, I mean I have to face the facts, Ill have this phone for at least 1 more year, and I'm sure longer, since Ill probably wait till the next "thing" comes out after I'm eligable for an upgrade.

I agree here. The International version has reportedly received timely updates. I don't know if they were referring to 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 or an incremental bug fix upgrade but supposedly they don't have this issue. I can't resist anymore. I went to the Sprint store and the Manager is going to hold one for me until I get there on launch day. Maybe having 2 active phones is excessive but I can't wait until my upgrade comes. Also, I am not ready to get rid of my Epic. I still love this phone.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Verizon??? The company with the last Galaxy S phone to get updated? The single carrier not to have any SIGN of the gingerbread update ever coming out for their Galaxy S phone? The carrier that believes that the Droid Charge is a suitable replacement for THE GS2? Sprint is probably the best carrier to bet on for upgrades to non "Droid" phones...

If more people who had this phone knew about android versions and what not, I'm sure samsung would have been getting complaints right about now.
Luckily, for Samsung though, most users are teens who text a lot(me included) Oh well, maybe they'll learn some day.

That's right. I would venture 90+% of people have NO CLUE what Gingerbread is, nor what version of Android they're currently running. They see an update come through, install it, and go about their business. A select few of them may notice something different with the looks, but that's about it. They may notice something looks different, but only because one of their apps (I'm thinking Eclair vs. Froyo messaging) looks a bit different. If that's the case, they probably assume the update was just for that app...
If Samsung is throwing around Gingerbread all over the Epic (as well as most of the US galaxy s series) have not gotten, maybe it is the carriers holding everything up. All of the updated GBs have been through Kies and for some reasn Sprint don't want the Epic on Kies.
