Vibrant 4g first impressions

Not sure if this should be posted here but I got a look at the vibrant 4g yesterday and it is pretty sexy. With minor changes like ffc and new back the phone doesnt look different but feels different some how. I took some basic pix of it nothing too much. Scored a 990 on quadrant. Ffc is not bad at all and rear camera has no banding issue like vibrant so this might be helpful for us vibrant owners. Please don't get mad at me for posting this in just sharing some of my experience.

I would also be curious what your opinion is of the GPS ? And how is the call quality ? Any dropped calls ?
Not to be rude, but seems the U.S. carriers getting the shaft from Samsung. Why is T-Mobile just now releasing the Galaxy S-1 w/4G, which is based on last Summers technology, but Europe will get the brand new next generation Galaxy-S-2 beginning of next month. WTF Are we U.S. customers going have to wait until Summer for the Galaxy-S-2 to show up here ? And Europe will get it 4 - 5 months ahead of us ?

Europe has always gotten phones much much earlier than the US, nothing new here. That's why you get a whole year warranty (vs 3-4 months) for example. Also take a lot longer to get FCC approval than most European markets

Wont be able to tell you guys about gps n calls til next week (launch date) the phone I had was a live demo didn't even have inception movie on it yet. Samsung is having an event next week hopefully I get picked to go so ill have more info.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling, just waiting for the 15th march Will be like a kid at Christmas.

Me too have pre-order Black version

AW: Well my pre order is in
Didn't preorderer yet but will get it asap as well. Just waiting for even better price drops

i only espect a clean rom with low blootware, asop in this device is not a option i think, because of zoe and ir

I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!

Cracked screen, please recommend a good replacement

I have no idea how but when I went into my bag to check on my N7 the screen had a huge crack along the screen. I'm not willing to pay an arm and a leg for it, I need a reliable seller that won't take forever to ship it either. Any help is greatly appreciated, I don't wanna stop using this device. Thanks!

I think the glass, digitizer, and screen is all connected together.. Replacements will run you about 150$ so your best bet would to buy a broke nexus 7 with a good screen and swap it yourself, or buy a new nexus for 50$ more.

Damn in that case I may just get a Nexus 4

That doesn't make sense. You're ditching a tablet for a phone...that requires cell service? You said you liked the N7 so you could buy a new one (sell broke one for parts), pay 34 for square trade coverage and still have the tablet you like with an insurance plan that would cover the screen breaking.

I decided I'm gonna let my girlfriend keep it, she said she would pay for the repair. I'm gonna check on eBay and Amazon for prices on used ones for the screen. I live with her so technically I will still be using the N7
And I have an outdated phone, the LG myTouch 4G. Now that I got my new job I can afford the N4 without a problem, just wondering if the unlocked version from the Play Store will work with T-Mobile 4G service. If I have to setup the APN myself I don't mind, I hope that's the most difficult thing I'd have to do.
I'd be thrilled to use that device to tether with the N7, I'd be pretty happy owning both. I don't know about the N10 tho, it's too big for me to take anywhere.

Why Note 2 is better than Note 3

You can't do this with the Note 3

you'll never know when you might need them, such as when watching a movie.

Nice joke , get case and do it
Anyway won't replace note 2 for 3 , maybe to note 4 or S5

I can't tell if you're serious or kidding. Regardless, there are multiple solutions that'll work on the N3. I use a Seido case on my N2 which has a kickstand. That way I don't have to carry a "nipple" around with me.

I'm not too sure why there's always a certain number of people who would go against the idea of upgrading when the new version gets announced.
This happened after the announcement of note 2 as well but I bet many of them have upgraded now!

It's a suction cup stand, but one member calls it dildo and another calls it nipple.
Am I on xda or some porn forum site?

haha you all crack me up!

Jokes aside, I too don't like the back of the Note 3. I LOVED Hyperglaze and I also liked A LOT the OG Note's back. Faux leather is AWFUL but at least they didn't go with metal or glass which are the stupidest and most awful materials you can put on MOBILE devices. "Thank" you, brainwashed drones who kept going on about how "cheap and flimsy" Samsung flagships' backs "are"....

We have a thread already to discuss these things.

Does anyone know when costco will get the VZW LG G2?

I bought an HTC One about a week and a half ago and debating on returning it. I have until Friday, exactly two weeks from the day I bought it, to decide whether or not to return it. The G2 it looking more and more like the direction that I want to be going. I bought my One from costco so technically I can exchange up to 90 days after if they get it but I would hate to bank on them getting it in that window and end up with something I'm not 100% sure about. Just curious if anyone knows when costco will be getting the G2 for verizon? May help me make my decision.

Idk about when Costco will get it but u returned my HTC one for the g2 and its a great phone. The only thing I miss is the 2 speakers on the front. I can still hear this one though just not as loud.

Agree everything else is better but boomsound. Some people like aluminum but then they cover or up with a rubber case just to protect it anyway.

I do know that they have the at&t G2, so it is possible they will get the verizon G2, but no one knows when or if costco will get the phone because LG's are not typically big sellers. Verizon has a lot of exclusive motorola phones, which costco loves to sell over other phones so there's no way to be sure. I talked to a costco mobile rep and he said that if they are getting a phone they get a presentation for that phone and it is released two weeks later. You can keep checking back in or calling, personally I didn't want to play the waiting game and my phone was limping, so I just went ahead and upgraded.

Hey there. They will have this device on Home Delivery. You pay in store and they ship it to your house via UPS 3 day. I'm told they will have it this weekend nation wide for delivery. For 179.99!!
Edit: available now! Just got word !

Well I decided to play it safe and just return my HTC One today. I went to the verizon store and spent a fair amount of time playing with the G2. I think that is going to be my next device. Waiting for Verizon to update my account with the contract reversal so that I can upgrade to the G2. From what I understand that is a coupon code that you can use to order it online through Verizon and save 60 bucks. Think I may go that route. We'll see.

looks like its on sale... are they trying to get rid of it?!
