In this video by PhoneDog it shows some news on the Vibrant 4G and iPhone4 in white and Android 2.4
Yep you heard right 2.4, could it be IceCream? I'm still wondering if I can return my Vibrant and get this new Vibrant 4G that would be pretty sweet. That or I can just install a FFC which I have been considering the last couple weeks. Any suggestions on what I should do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CajIiZeso0&feature=feedu
I really dont think a 4g vibrant Is worth it. It really is a loss of storage space. As far as the ffc they say its pretty easy to do and the camera cost about 20 bucks.
Ill wait till we get the lg optimus 2x or something close to that.
That is it, i'm waiting till 2.5 comes out!
Everytime I get into the new, another 'new' comes out!
LOL, and kudos to him making that new speedy video. "...Nice sweater, moving on! Phone, Box, unboxing, here's the magic!" LOLOL
Honeycomb is going to be 3.0 not 2.4.
From what I've heard (twit network) 2.4 is not icecream and just is an incramental update. Honeycomb has a feature of resizing apps to work on a larger screen and makes it look all perrdy. The update gives that same image scaling to phones. Just paraphrasing what I heard.
As for the 4g? go for it if you can. Remember no external sd card. You will be stuck with 16GB internal. If that isn't a problem go for it. I miss a working gps..... Tmo has a 15 day return policy, but walmart and target have been known to honor thier 90 day return policy (to match their stores policy). If you got it from there.
The 2.4 will be a sequel to gingerbread not ice cream.
Says engadget
2.3->2.4 is the same as 2.0->2.1. Just different features and UIs
Its 16gb external. Not internal

Cant wait for this to be released, i think im going to pick one up.
From what I have read, 2.4 is honeycomb, at least the mobile version that does not re-size. 3.0 will be Tablet honeycomb with a lot of extra tidbits that are only useful on a Tablet.
Mark me, I could be wrong, but it is what I believe to have read.
16 GB external, will you be able to upgrade to say a 32?

In the video it says 32GB internal and it has an external. Yes, 2.4 is gingerbread still. There is a new processor for phones its dual core and supports up to 2.0Ghz it has 3D rendering and 2D to 3D converting.

Current literature is pretty clear about there being 1GB internal and 16GB external. I assume they removed the int 16 for a more power hungry modem? just a guess.
Flash on the camera would have been nice. Can't have everything I guess.

I love my Vibrant....just remember the G2 is hardware locked for rooting. There are some sweet roms for the Vibrant. And if you're hot for Froyo....there's a rom for that. The main issue is the Gps still has a few kinks to be worked out....other than that you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

It hasn't been confirmed that it will remain unrootable. Last thing I read cyanogen and crew were working on it and have said it will be difficult but they will find a way just like they have with other pita phones like ours.
Yeah I just checked the HTC Vision dev forums and they already have a one-click temp root, so I imagine a full root wouldn't be far off.

Fromg the google blog:
It features a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from everyday objects that have NFC tags.
In addition, today we’re excited to announce that Sprint customers will soon be able to take advantage of the full set of Google Voice features without changing or porting their number.

Because its a Google supported phone / Google dev phone. All software comes 100% from Google directly. Samsung doesn't touch the software. It will get almost all future updates until the hardware cant handle the software. The Nexus One, which is pretty damn old now, just recently got official Gingerbread, and will likely get Ice Cream.
Yea but what he meant is...
Thanks to the hardware similarities we wont be far behind them in updates so why pay all that money for basically the same phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)
I personally hate physical keyboards now. Mine is just wasted, unused bulk.
True Google software is worth it for me. Dual core CPU's aren't even close to being utilized in smartphones yet anyway. Not until apps/software are written to support them.
The Hummingbird can still hold its own.

Good question. I was surprised to read that myself. 512MB is like going back to early 2010 when the Nexus One came out. I would expect most new high end devices coming out today to have 768MB or 1GB.

I feel the exact same way. My contract just expired, but there aren't any phones out yet that I'd rather have. The other issue is not knowing what will happen with the network and phone compatibility. I probably won't get a new phone until the TMO/ATT merger is final.
I'll be sitting at Tmobile the second they open getting the G2X. It's too much of a beast not to.

The reason T-Mobile took the UI from Optimus 2x off the phone is so it will be easy to update to 2.3, since that's what it was suppose to originally ship with. Google will be the one releasing 2.3 OTA, not LG so don't worry.

Just because no single app uses that much, doesn't mean that a device's performance doesn't increase when more RAM is present. RAM is something you can never have too much of, and in today's world, 512MB for a smartphone is paltry.

Epic 2 seems like it's simply an "updated" Epic that is targeted towards new users in the high end Android phone realm who want a keyboard that might hesitate at a year old phone. Doubt they had current Epic users in mind when they made the thing. Plus there are probably a few people that are sold by the "2" on it. To me, Epic -> Epic 2 is like moving from the old PS3/XBox360 to the new slimmer ones.

Yeah, if I didn't need a keyboard, I wouldn't have gotten the Epic in the first place.
Its not a bump like the Evo got, but its going to make a very ridiculously nice midrange phone. They will probably bump up the ram and give it gingerbread and give it a Super AMOLED+ screen, which easily puts it on a level playing field with any Tegra 2 phone on the market. There is no real need for dual core right now. For people with an original Epic, there is no need to upgrade to an Epic2 of course, but the Epic will remain a very capable and very high end phone at least until 2012.
My next upgrade will probably be a quad core phone sometime in early 2012. Nothing coming out now, not even the super sexy GSII is that big of an upgrade form the Epic. If Samsung could get us gingerbread soon and if we could get some AOSP or CM7 on here, there will be zero need to upgrade to anything else for a LONG time.

All true, but i'm still waiting to see the power of the battery and it's internal storage. The only major things i like about this phone is that it's pure android and that it will release with ICS.

its a phone... lol, also. if you heard a zillion times from other people. it is optimized for the hardware. unlike every other android crap phone software out lol. in other words out 1GHz will run like a beast with this if our phone gets it. software is more important than hardware in most cases..

on this video john is saying something about how the emulator doesnt use those new buttons on the bottom and that older hardware wont either. im hopeing that means it will come to our phones and we can still use our capatsitive buttons lol
^^^very true....funny so many are whining about the Nexus being clocked at 1.2 instead of 1.5....5mp instead of 8mp. Like many have said...if you're not going to print any pics, MP doesn't matter at all. Im fine with these specs....ill wait and see if our Atrix recieve's the ICS update thru OTA or ROM, if not, hellos Nexus Prime

i don't have a problem with the camera being 5mp, now with the processor stratax cleared that up for me, but no sd card slot, and a 1750mAh battery is gonna disappoint a lot of people just like the nexus s, which is a great phone but could've been better with an sd card slot for people like me that store a lot of music, videos, etc on their phone. My atrix replaced every other device i had(ipod, digital cam, psp) with the 48gbs it holds. But i do believe the Galaxy Nexus will be a great device, just missing a few things

as for the camera that is true, mp are marketing pretty much. software can make it look better than 99% of 8-12mp cameras out there. hahaha there is no sdcard slot? so many people didnt get the nexus s because of that. you'd think they would learn.. that is the same reason i didnt get the sensation because of low storage. i use my atrix as the same. most of it is music and games lol. which takes up a ton. how can a company make a entertainment device with low storage -_- unless it has like 64gb of storage i wont be happy with it. maybe 32 would be fine but still, im sure it will be expensive.
Am I wasting my time thinking AT&T will subsidize the version with their bands?

if our phone does not recieve ICS or CM doesnt make a port or whatever im leaving android for sure. im tired of having to switch a freaking device RIGHT after i buy it. WP7 is on the lead with actually updating their phones and crap and have good hardware requirements without fragmentation. i know that technology gets updated fast blah blah. its just crap what google does lol. i like the big leap they are taking, but they need to AT LEAST update ICS on all the dual core phones that have been released. that would be pretty sweet

Reported that all devices currently running Gingerbread will receive ICS... just a matter of when... remember, Moto has to put their Motoblur crap in it first.

Not receive. Support. IE their hardware is enough to run 4.0. There is 0 guarantee they will get ICS.

The biggest thing wrong with that video, "TWO HANDS!"
Even when that thing was in landscape, I couldn't tell if he was holding the Nexus or a PSP. (Although ICS does look nice)
Finally what is it with Nexus phones and lack of ext SD cards lately?... *shrug*
