Depends which application you are using, oovoo works with front camera, I have spoken to both fring and tango devs and they say they are actively working on a fix for the streak. Unfortunately the tango app dev said he can't get his streak to froyo yet so he's waiting on the upgrade : smirk:

I would love to try the Droid X if they had a GSM version for T-Mobile.

Sony "Zues 1"

Definitely Evo.I know it's on the lowerside when compared to the hardware and amoled screen of our vibrants,but still it's a gorgeous phone.

Probably the nexus s. Strictly for the sole reason that the nexus s will have the best support from google and will always be one of the top/first phones to get an update. Upcoming phone would either be the Atrix or the Lg optimus 2x.

I think I would rather have a phone that's been out a little longer due to rom support. Plus I am still waiting for the official froyo upgrade for my nexus one thats been sitting in my closet since mid last year.
Sent from a Galaxy S far....far....away.

toss up between ns and vibrant. i don't care about sd (i have 5+Gb free on my vibrant with the stock sd card so space doesn't matter to me), but 720p video recording is nice, and i don't really care about strict vanilla android, but i would prefer to have gb and know i will be getting 2.4 or 3.0, whichever is honeycomb for phones.
otherwise, i don't think another phone thats out compares as a complete package. sure they may linpack higher, or the iphone 4 has a better screen (debatable?), but the vibrant can oc well, has the samoled, has good sound, good dev support, etc. though hspa+ would be a benefit, it's not something i care about right now cause tmob hasn't even launched hspa+ in my area, yet.
upcoming phones i'd be interested in are the lg x2, atrix, and vibrant+. i won't get any of them, i'll wait for the next round, but those are probably the front runners coming soon. and the atrix won't be tmob, which is a downside cause tmob is cheap and even regular hspa in my area is widespread and very fast.

I am considering the LG Optimus 2X or the LG Black. Seems as if they are the only two phones other than Vibrant + and Nexus S that will possibly be coming to T Mobile that I have any interest in.

Tablet

So im most likely going to get a tablet in june and i was wondering what i should get.
There's always the iPad and then the new galaxy tab is coming out so idk suggest.

I would have suggested the Galaxy Tab 10.1 before I found out it was Tegra 2 based. I personally wouldn't buy any Tegra 2 based tablet due to the ridiculous video playback limitation.

I'm still interested in getting the 7in. I think 10in is to much to carry around. 7in is great for ebook reading. I just wish it was led display. I'm a firm believer there is a market for 7in tablets.

Explain?
I'm looking to get a tablet soon too, and the 10.1 coming out soon was what I was thinking of. The xoom is nice, but screen isn't large enough. The other downside to the 10.1 that I know of is that it's only going to have the proprietary port from Samsung and not USB or anything else, yes?

Tegra 2 is incapable of playing high profile mkv files smoothly. Basically it would mean having to transcode all of my media. I refuse to do that, since even the ORIGINAL iPad can play high profile mkv files flawlessly (with XBMC), as can our Epic 4g's.

Ahh, gotchya. Thanks for the info. I wasn't planning on using it for movies but that's good to know. Is the Tegra 3 a solution to this or just a next gen quad core with the same flaw?

Tegra 3 is just a next gen quad core, but it almost certainly will fix the flaw. Even if they didn't, technically the quad core would be powerful enough to just use the cpu to software decode the video most likely.

Your thoughts on Gingerbread release for the Samsung Vibrant.

Hello,
Just wanted your thoughts on the Official Gingerbread for Vibrant.
Do you think it will ever come?
Do you even care?
Any feedback is appreciated .

Cm7 is gingerbread so its already out lol
Need help with cm7? Pm me I can try to help

I don't think about it because I don't care. Gingerbread for the Vibrant 3G is the last thing on Samsungs list.

i have cm7 so i could care less! i will be getting the hercules in a few months anyway

The Gingerbread ROMS are already pretty smooth and nice so I no longer care about the stock one which they seem that don't even WANT to update.
Whatev's when I get the chance I will be buying the SGSII.
...When it doesn't cost a lung for me lol

It's not going to happen.
And neither will me buying another Samsung mobile device, ever.

Ditto.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Probably not coming since the Galaxy S 4G is essentially the successor to the original Vibrant. It would be a terrible sales decision for T-Mobile to support the older model, especially when the two are almost identical except for 4G, an FFC, and the lack of internal storage on the 4G.

I hate u guys.
I guess my best bet is to hunt craigslist for a nexus s.

No CM7 is the same experience you will get with a Nexus S.

Wait for next year.
Quad Cores aren't supposed to be ready until Q3 2012 or early 2013.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

I wouldn't mind waiting, I've played around with the 4g vibrant, and I like the 3g model better. The ffc is no big deal with me.
But I have a gut feeling that it will be early next year before we get a 2.3 from tmobile.

Sorry, but current dual cores devices are useless and equally as fast as the Nexus S since ICS is yet to be released to optimize Android for multicore devices. You may as well get the one phone guaranteed to get ICS which will increase the Nexus's speed as well. The G2X looks like its not getting ICS and the Sensation would be bogged down by Sense again. Galaxy S2, maybe.

No offense because the 2.3 Roms out right now are smooth. But they straight murder the battery life. Why have a mobile device if you a charge every 8 hours.

No, I held out hope because Samsung promised and promised and promised, and there was a BIG media hullabaloo about the lack of timeliness on the 2.2 update.
Samsung has had exactly ONE press release saying they're putting 2.3 on "all" Galaxy S phones and nobody in the media is talking about a lack of update. Basically, it's as if no-one cares, Samsung included. Only a few people on forums are making any fuss about it, and everybody knows forums in general fly fairly low under the radar.
I still say we're not going to see it, and even if Samsung delivers it before the end of the year, it's far too little far too late. I have no desire to reward their failures and apathy with more purchases.
edit: Oh, and you can thank the ****ing SGS 4G for the lack of an update. IT'S getting 2.3 leaks left and ****ing right, and the rumor is from devs in the know that there isn't even 2.3 source code in existence for the Vibrant.

You are right the good thing about dual cores is one core is incharge of one process and other core incharge of another process. This would probably be best for me as I am constantly studying in school, and switch between apps really fast and single core just cant take from browser to xxxx app to xxxx app and back to browser without it getting stuck!?
If you got like 15 apps and just use it for ROMS and GPS and shiny fast things then by all means stick with the Galaxy S.

I am a total HTC guy as i am flash junkie.. i am obsessed with huge display phones... seeing Samsung note i am all over it, but still i dont think i can flash like i can do with HTC's...
What do you guys think should i make the jump to samsung or wait for HTC to release a > 5 inch screen phone, is it even under HTC's rumored phone lists...

Well, I saw the Sensation xl, and at 4.7 inch its a beast as well.... And 1,5 ghz....
