Anyone going to get the Galaxy S?

What does everyone think? 4" may be the sweet spot between big screen size and too big. I don't know how I feel about even less physical buttons though as I already think it is the stupidest thing ever to not have dedicated send/end, but that is just me.

Not while they've skinned Android and replaced some Google integration with Yahoo integration.

No led flash? Are you f*cking kidding me?

I like the S-AMOLED and the proper multi-touch screen. However, having used the N1, I feel that it's just about as large a smartphone as I'd like to have in my pocket.
Not having to jump through as many hoops to get it customized, rooted, unlocked, etc. is also a nice thing about being on the N1.

Why would I want that when I have an N1?

Nexus 2

I've had a G1, and a N1, I'll wait until the next "Google" phone's out to upgrade, I think

If it gets rooted and with a stock rom i'm going for it. Samsung makes great hardware. The software sucks big time.

+10. Updates will be non existent, samsung expects you to buy a new phone if you want to update, screw that. I'll stay with nexus one.
Ex galaxy owner here, experienced samsung support (or lack thereof) first hand, never again

If a good cooker like cyanogen is going to make roms for Galaxy S then why not.

Yeah I'm with you I'll wait for the new Nexus One every phone on T-Mobile that's made by HTC and only has stock Android is the phone Google uses for the next year. Thanks to Froyo the Nexus One has been the best Android phone until at least August when the Droid X gets 2.2 and gets a speed boost. Also you know that the Galaxy S will not get to use the free tethering that people with the Nexus enjoy. So to the original question NOPE

If it is rooted why couldn't you use wireless tether? Wow I did not think everyone would be so against it. Its already rooted though I thought.

If I upgrade phones from my Nexus One its going to be for these features:
- Vanilla android
- 4.3' screen
- Can use the same $50/mo even more plus T-mobile voice + data
I'm more than happy to play the waiting game with my Nexus One until this phone comes out...
If the guys at Samsung weren't so cheap to cut corners and actually included an led flash I might have considered the GalaxyS... but I can't support such obvious penny pinching cost cutting by Samsung

I love its GPU power and the Super-AMOLED, but for me to go from the N1 I need :
dualcore
>WVGA
stock android

I don't expect that for another 6 months or so, so I'll be keeping my Nexus One until then
The Galaxy S is also plasticky and ugly

Hahaha! Look at all these rip-offs: http://www.thlmobilestore.com/thl-mobile-phone.html

Looks to be stock Android and the specs don't look to shabby on a few of those.
HTC ONE! Everything your phone isn't!

That is really cool.. I needed that.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.

Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.

I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.

Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.

No LTE

It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

274 for a 5 inch 1080p dual sim unlocked semi stock 4.2 android quad core clocked at 1.2ghz and micro sd? uhm honestly thats a great deal lol and it looks pretty good for the price imo

I wonder how reliable these are they would make a killing of i imported some and sold them on cl for 75 to 100 more than what i pay for

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!

Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.
Any other question, contact us any time.
Best regards!

This is for the W8+. Scroll down all the way on the devices main page for Q&A (some are quite amusing).

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.

NEXUS 5! What do you think? Good choice?

What do you think about the unknown NEXUS 5? I'm going to move him from P970 ...
It is a good choice? I like clean ANDROID and my price limit is $ 512 .. Would you propose a better device with better equipment for the same price?

I am not gonna answer your question since i am not sure whether or not this is a prank thread. Even your budget is dodgy.. $ 512?? what a specific number... Is that 1 buck for every ram in OB?
Anyway i'll give you my opinion about Nexus 5, so that you can make a comparison, on a chance that you are serious about this. Nexus 5 will most likely be manufactured by LG, based on the monster G2. LG is better hardwarewise speaking, but lacks in all other things.
(Off topic it is said that Korean G2 will have SD car slot and removable battery, but international version won't. Another .tupid LG decision. I was searching a replacement from LG for OB, and i came across a phone of theirs which doesn't have "flash". Who puts a camera without flash. As i said best hardware poor everything else)

Finally-- The tablet that I wanted!

I loved my SM-T800, but the kind of love where you're willing to overlook little faults here and there (the small amounts of lag that people notice while others don't).
I switched over to the LTE version from Verizon a few days ago-- with the Snapdragon 800 SOC.
Lag is completely gone-- even in touchwiz (no I didn't sick with touchwiz, just wanted to confirm). Tapped Out plays perfectly. LTE reception is great. Scrolling through everything is so smooth!
$600 is expensive for any tablet; but through some lucky breaks, I paid around $350 for my non-LTE version, not including a free book cover that Best Buy threw in. I ended up selling the tablet for about $430, and I kept the cover! So net $530 for the LTE tab and cover.
If you're on the fence about this device because of some of the comments on here, I can tell you most of the complaints are rectified in the Sprint/ Verizon version.

My experience exactly. Had the Wifi 10.5, and it sucked, frankly. The Verizon LTE version is awesome.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. They really gave the wifi version the shaft with their horrible exynos experiment.
I have a Galaxy S5 with the snapdragon and it's blazing fast, while my wifi Tab S is laggy and slow as hell.

No surprise there, Exynos lags behind the Snapdragon variant as usual. No pun intended.

Sure it has snapdragon?
Most likely improvements are just because of some software update.

i have been waiting for the Verizon version for some time and got excited when i saw it available BUT then sad when i saw it was only the 16GB version which doesnt work for me. also didnt want white but could deal with that. hoping maybe a 32GB version at some point but doubtful

I purchased the wifi 16. Returned it for the 32. Got refunded for that one and purchased the Sprint version with snapdragon. It just seems to be smoother and faster than the previous wifi only tabs. Both of my wifi units just did weird things. Ex., I would press the home key and it would send me off to google or some place unknown to my home screen. If I kept pressing the home button I would eventually get there, never did figure that one out. My other ones lagged every now and then but this didn't really bother me, I'm a patient man. I just wanted mobile data, however infrequently I will use it, but I'm glad it is there.

As stated many times, the Exynos SOC is really really bad.

long story short, who ever has the opportunitiy of buying Verizon Tab S Snapdragon 800 should go towards that direction and not the Exynos one...thanks guys i was thinking of buying with Exynos in Europe but i see that it has problems, weird is that sites seem to bypass those problems rather easily

Any evidence?
Most likely it is just software issue.
Anyway, I don't see any lag on my T705 Exynos tab.

Any development for the snapdragon version?

epic fail i am expecting a plus 1 free gig ram of note 4 to note 5
touchwiz = more ram means more bloatwares. bruuuuhhhh

Meh, no microSD, no Note 5 for me.

So not only no MicroSD or Removable Battery but ALSO no IR Blaster???
Bloody hell Samsung!

So it's basically just a giant S6 with an s-pen. Note 4 > Note 5.

Yup . yuck. Not premium at all

Well chaps I'm going to reserve judgement.
I'm a huge fan of the Note 4, but I also quite like the looks of what you can see in the pictures of this so called Note 5.
I'm not sure where all the negativity comes from sometimes towards Samsung, I think an awful lot of their products are top drawer! Lol

Well i dont see an IR blaster and thats odd lol. I really enjoy that feature on my note 4. I'll wait for the note 5 to completely fail and wait for the next phone samsung releases that respects customers. Worst updated device ever (note 4).

The string of Notes in my signature ends at 4. Samsung totally phucked this one up. I'm gonna miss the SPen but that new Moto X Style will hold me until the next Note shows up.

That looks like an iPhone 6+ with an S pen.
