That's just the world of smartphones, sadly.

As an old Blackberry user, this doesn't surprise me at all.. But from looking at the specs of the Nexus S and the SGS, there's really not a major difference.. I definitely won't be losing sleep over it

Until then please also check ULTIMATE ROM v4.0 out soon. I will try to add as many gingerbread feautures as possible.

I tried your ROM. It was good.work and everything but for some reasons scrolling in launchers wasnt smooth and also i didnt like the animations too much. I will try v4 when it comes out, however.

Well...here's the problem.. Nexus S doesn't really feel like an upgrade from Galaxy S.
1. Bluetooth 3.0 becomes Bluetooth 2.1
2. moviNAND becomes iNAND
3. No microSD card slot
4. No 720p video recording
Of course there are some good things with the Nexus S
1. Android 2.3 and software support from Google (No more Samsung!)
2. Contour Display
3. Near Field Communications (NFC)
4. Three-axis gyroscope
5. Anti-fingerprint display coating
6. Flash for camera
7. Maybe better GPS
However, to me, the only real advantage with Nexus S is software support (and GPS if it's true). Hardware-wise, Nexus S is not as good as Galaxy S. I think the best would be the Nexus S rom gets ported to Galaxy S.

SGS II Motion Features

I wish the vibrant would have cool features like the new SGS II is going to have.
androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-touchwiz-4-0-special-features-demo-exclusive-20110325/
(New member so I can't post links just yet)
Do you think the devs will be able to bring some of these features to the vibrant/I9000?

Looks like its using the accelerometer. It could happen if we have a touchwiz 4 port.

Hey, that's what I'm here for!
That and to continue my flashing addiction.

Yea it sure would be nice to skip the cell phone store and just come here to update my "outdated" phone.
Luckily we all bought a phone that has some incredible, lasting hardware.
Should carry me through at least another year.

thats really cool!
Thats touchwiz 4?
Don't we already have that?

I think that is the gyro, and from what i have seen online, vibrant also has it, and it should be enabled when we get gingerbread.
and when this phone comes to tmo, and i team it up with my samsung series 9/macbook air... I WILL RULE THE WORLD <evil laugh here>

Checkout EDT's website in their early releases in the donator's section.

Yeah, only thing is I hear the audio hardware isn't as good...which sucks

I like it lots and lots and lots and sometimes when i use an IPhone or a HTC Sensation i like it even more .I really like being able to talk to people by pressing a few numbers not sure if it will catch on though .

Had mine for the grand total of 4 days...so far i can't fault it. I upgraded from my zte blade, and this is just awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Well comparing it to the evo3d it basically has better specs plus hw acceleration which is a very nice feature. The screen is awesome imo, tho some people don't seem to like the oversaturated colours. Personally i love it but you have to check it yourself before you decide.
Anyway i wouldn't upgrade right now if i were you, you still have a very good phone, just wait for something newer and better, like the quadcores expected to come out in 2012

My first Android and like this so much. Even after using it for three months I still couldn't make it work the way I'd like, but still its not bad. Frankly, I'd be more happy if this device had iOS instead of Android.

If this phone had IOS instead of Android id sell it, IOS is nowhere near as good as Android, everything works out of the box but your strictly limited in what you can do,i hate restriction.

Best phone right now without a doubt, having owned it since May it's been excellent! Pervious Android device was the DHD, it's faster, smoother and slicker!

Fastest android phone out there, but build quality could be better.

tbh the only phone that could probably knock the sgs2 off it's perch is the motorola atrix.. bigger battery and tegra 2, but then i've never used one so i have no idea about user experience.

Hello My very post here. Best phone I ever owned. it would have been perfect if it was a tegra Device can't see why they did that for a flagship Device !!!!

You will miss sense. Htc phones have better dialer, more useful widgets, like for example favorite contacts and rss reader, better sms delivery report, lockscreen and ringtone volume management. On other side Sgs2 has better multimedia support (mkv) better screen and weight, brilliant call quality and its very smooth in menus.

Yes totally. The word goes out to NB. He is the man. In termed if my next phone. Well I can say that even though galaxy s is almost 2 years old it still has good support from xda because of the awesome hardware. So next phone will have to have hardware just as good or it won't get much support.

They mean Samsung Touchwiz ICS.
They bloat and put a hell more features and the package is about twice what AOSP ROM is.
Look at CM7 size and compare to Froyo Stock.

awesome review!!! thanks i finally made my choice . N4!!

nice video thanks
I liked more the galaxy s3

i9305 fills the weak spots of the i9300. Such as the dc-hspa and even more 4G. Aswell as the 2GB ram. This would have made the s3 look even better
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

Gf has a N4, I have a SGS3. Still prefer the SGS3 purely because I'm using a 64gb sd card and need the extra storage. 16gb is nowhere near enough. Apart from that I do love the N4.

i like S3 better, certainly!:good:

Mostly all my phone came from samsung. But most my friends has the nexus some reason. Not a keen fan though..

Samsung needs to stop breaking Android with all their crap.
If you want to add it to the phone Samsung then use a Fricken APP! One we can delete if we want to.
Oh and the dialer SUCKS, adding lag and crap to the dialer so you can add some features is NOT ok.
I really want the Nexus experience with the Samsung hardware. IS THIS TO MUCH TO ASK.

Dude, Nexus phones are so bare without features. Some Samsung improvements like screen mode and smart stay are awesome. Have you seen the settings panel for the Nexus? It's so bare without any ability to customize it. I got sick of that phone so fast.
