The HTC tablet is really what I want too.
Sent from the ACS'd Epic 4G.
Selling my Epic to my brother as soon as it releases. He hates phones without keyboards so I am selling him my mint Epic for cheap in exchange for his upgrade eligibility.
Finally get to own a Nexus. I'm pumped!
I really want this phone. I was hoping they would add a MicroSD slot. That may be a deal breaker for me....
If this phone had 32 gig internally instead of 16 gig, then I could live without the MicroSD slot....
are the drivers any better on this phone ?
or are all samsungs drivers stupid ?

Exact copy of the GSM Nexus S except for the CDMA/EVDO/WIMAX
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phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)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.

I didn't follow CES as much as I wanted to so I'm wondering in your opinions what is the most exciting phone coming in 2011? I just saw specs for the atrix and I'm impressed. I hate at&t but when it cones out on March I might have to go with it. I didn't see where sprint was getting anything. Anybody jumping on the attic in March? Thanks for the responses.

sprint didnt really announce anything but there is a conference from Sprint at the begining of next month with another "industry first". so well see
Yea its a 1.2GHz triple core HTC Device running 2.4 and 2 1080 cameras that also works on sprints "industry first" 5 G network ......and YES u can F*ck iT.

And yeah the atrix is pretty much what I expected the Nexus S to be. Gingerbread had no business being released on a rehashed galaxy s. They shoulda just pushed gingerbread to all n1 owners (which was the point of getting that phone in the first place.) And then got 2.4 out on the NS or whatever nexus it would've been if they would've waited. Perhaps a "Nexus Duo" or something since they didn't want a nexus 2

Do you really want that 2GB data cap? I guess it's okay if you don't use much data, but if you ever do use more than 2GB, be prepared to pay for it.
Yeah I know at&t sucks bad and I will prolly hate it. I just couldn't believe the specs when I saw them. I do use alot of data.

I wasn't aware that the numbers were this low. I would think that this would be something that Google would be concerned with because eventually this could hurt the growth of Android. Marketing is a powerful thing and if Apple and Microsoft are in some way able to get into the heads of the masses. You know how powerful marketing can be even when it's just trying to spread FUD. The company that I work for has BB as the "corporate standard" but because we purchased several other companies in the past year that standard has been loosened a bit because of the high number of iPhone users at the other company. There are only two of us in the IT Department that have Android and with what I see going on I still don't feel comfortable pushing Android. The first time there was an issue I know that my CIO would use it as the reason why we shouldn't use Android and that would be the end of that.

Of course they will, the inspire and the thunderbolt are the same phones in which both are basically a carbon copy of the evo which been out for 8 months with the exception of a few differences(mainly updated snapdragon and the newer version of sense). Anyway, sprint has too much riding on the evo name than to come out with an evo 2 with half assed specs.

It's got a better processor (MSM8255 45nm vs the EVO's QSD8650 65nm), more internal memory, MUCH better screen (SLCD), and Sense 2.0.
It's a better device, no question.
It's a better phone to be sure, but not a huge upgrade from the EVO. Though it's always nice to have choice, I'm sure some AT & T users would prefer another Sense phone.
Call it the EVO 4gS
No front camera is a deal-breaker for me. No thanks!

It's internal memory is four times the size of the Evos, I'm sure that makes the new sense much easier to fit on there.

Because not everyone needs all the bells and whistles. The average consumer doesn't even know what a core is, let alone why they need two to (as they will describe it) "make a few calls, play a game maybe and shoot a couple of text messages."

Because by the time dual cores become actually useful to people who don't play with benchmark tests, you are going to need a new phone anyway.
Having said that, I'll probably wait for quad core phones before I upgrade.

This. If I could survive another year with my Evo I could do so easily with the Nexus S. Seems pretty tempting. Might not be the most epic of upgrades ... and no LED notifications / removable storage is pretty silly in all honesty, but its a step up in other manners.
Too true about the tablet, too. I want a Xoom but not sure I even really need it at the moment. Was thinking about using some of the return on one but I'm not too sure. Time will tell. Hope the Evo3D is cool, don't doubt it'll be a beast.

I don't see why you need to be insulting people who want to get a Nexus S 4G. It seems like a good phone for someone who wants to have the latest android releases immediately available to them. My wife is probably getting the Nexus S 4G as an upgrade from her HTC Hero. The main reason is that she loves CM7 on her Hero and I can't guarantee her CM7 (or future CM releases) on any other phone for sprint. You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

That bug wasn't Nexus specific, it was common to android. One of the developers at Google made a blog post about it a while ago.

Along with its HUGE Dev community and CM7 pretty much already guaranteed for it....
Screw the GS2 b/c after overclocking the Evo3D i doubt ill need anymore speed...
Yes the 3D is a gimmick but the specs of the phone is so tempting.
GS2 will be out like 2-3 months after and i don't see them getting updated till next year by sammy because we all know how that goes....

great cool teh evo 3d will have cm7. and when 2.4 comes out the nexus will be rocking that for a good while. and assuming that htc locked the bootloader like they did the thunderbolt then when it comes time for the evo3d to get it.. well it wont, not without an official 2.4 kernel and yes i mean that will include cm8
sorry to break it to ya but the only superlcd versions of the nexus are outside of america, everyone sold inside gets a samoled
i know i will have my nexus s 4g day one. ill be working with k0nane and the rest of ACS to see if we cant bring anything good over to there, and vice versa.

I think he meant the Evo 3D. Hes torn between choosing the SAMOLED Nexus S or the SLCD Evo 3D (which in reality is a qHD screen).
hey all just wanted to put this out and keep it alive so instill some hope in our hearts that samsung will reease the d705 to sprint soon i cannot wait by the way to see this phone released now this is just a rumor i doubt its correct it was a comment on one of the sites talking about the cellbrite systems thing so supposedly samsung went back to the drawing board and they SUPPOSEDLY emphasis on the supposedly (i dont want people riding my @** about it) its gunna be an exynos 2ghz dual core slider phone.....i say theres a 40/60 chance samsung will do this 1 because theyre focusing on all touch phones and 2 because ..... well idk number someone else can fill in that blank hahaha but any ways heres what i do know the epic will feature an 8 mp camera( back) and a 2mp (i think) on the front 4 inch super amoled + screen and gorilla glass it looks like an aluminum backed phone and the shape is basically .... a fascinate with a keyboard thats all the information i can find on it beleive me i did my homework i researched for days on this thing so if theres any one who either wants to confirm or deny the info i have above please do oh and please post your excitement in this thread i ilove hearing about people freaking out aout the atest releases =D
Samsung software
Not google
Not AOSP

haha woah not what i was expecting marcusant but hey to each his own love you work btw marcusant rom is my main and its gunna stay that way till stable cm9 =)
I am definitely excited for this device, though a 2ghz dualcore doesn't seem possible in the "near" future to me, since the Epic 4g touch just came out, if they released something so powerful there wouldn't be reason to buy it right? Course the Galaxy S3 is coming so I guess you never know lol. I'd be happy with any frequency dual-core, long as it has a nice keyboard .

Qualcomm had began production on 2.6Ghz chips and we should see them in cell phones by 2013 sometime.

It needs a 4.6" display, not another 4" like we have.
Samsung pretty much ruined my first "smart phone" experience after i educated myself and realized how evil they are when it comes to staying ahead of the curve on updates. If it wasnt for dedicated devs, our phones would be pretty basic.

Ooops thanks by accident. without any updates this phone woulda still been better than all other phones and still be competitive with phones that are coming out now. You really need to take a look at the quality of phones. Other phones might as well be brick right out the box. Samsung didn't ruin your smartphone you did.
@op <here's your flaming> was the other samsung epic 2 thread not good enough for you to post this in? Before you ask yes someone pissed in my cheerios!

I love Futurama! Nice play good sir!
Sent from my CM9'ed Epic4g! Wanna fight about it?
I love the original Epic and as long as it doesn't break, I could wait for the Epic 2. I thought I would be over the slider keyboard by now, but I'm really not and I know my wife will want to stay with the slider after her Epic needs replacement.
