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?

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

sorry for bad quality. front is normal

That's nice logo. I like it.

The finish looks different too (it's normally got black circles on the back too).. It might be a fake.. Check what firmware it says is installed under the about firmware.. It could also just be something dodgy with the carrier or french laws (or no market in france).. But double check the firmware..

Wow that certainly looks nicer than with Google text.

firmware : 2.1-update1
PDA : i9000xxjf3
csc : i9000oxajf3
yes its all things high quality and tiny circeles in back is as normal .

Looks good to me maybe it's a newer back cover? I would prefer that to mine with big Google writing and Samsung at the bottom. At least it doesn't have vodafone written all over it.

WTF man... Why is mine the Google logo and you got the Android.. You sure youre not leading us on? Nice regardless¡

I don't have Google or Android on the back just Galaxy S.
If someone can find me one with the Android logo I would be happy to pay for it.

The only 2 owners with this backing so far are from Iran and Dubai so it may be a Middle East variant.
Either way I think it's a pretty cool back, mainly because it's different although I would have preferred the Android logo and the Galaxy S logo on the back rather than Samsung.

Galaxy Tab 8.9 Makes Calls !?

hi guys ,
today SGalaxy Tab 8.9 has arrived to GSMArena and what blows me away is it can make calls !!!

here some photos from GSMArena

i hope Samsung release its open source that developers can put it in our SGalaxy Tab 7...
source : GSMArena

Looks nice

It would be nice to port its os to the galaxy 7 ,and it would be easier if samsung released its source code
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

OMG, now how will the stupid carriers in the USA cripple this one.

yeah it looks pretty nice especially with the Honeycomb
but if we just think about the difference between GT 8.9 and GT 7 ... it's only the screen size and the cpu
so i think porting GT 8.9's rom to GT 7 it might be easy !!

Is this really true?! You can call with this f..... good Tab?!

Nice find!
I was planning on getting one anyways but this is an unexpected surprise.

If this is really true, i will buy it imediality

That's good and all, but it still wont be as portible as the 7inch, 8.9 is only 1 inch smaller than the 10/ipad
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

i won't be surprised if the 10.1 has phone capabilities as well...

anyone know if A*&* will cripple voice calls on this device also?

Thats basically what I was talking about here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14311618&postcount=4
It is really too early for the USA Carriers to be telling what they will do with this best of a kind.

Don't fall and purchase the dan thing because it can make call. The US carriers (esp ATT) are smart. They keep it that way till the new devices are about to come out and block you (just like the GT 7), so you will keep buying. At the end you still don't have what you want but your $$$ go to the greedy ones. I am not going to buy another GTab till Samsung makes the unlocked and cover ATT bands.

@CyberGhos ... completely with ya
but we just wishing if the developers can port its rom to our GT 7 ... for me , i don't need phone's functions .... all what i need just the Honeycomb and everything will be ok

Galaxy S5 Plus announced

Samsung just announced the Galaxy S5 Plus. Bummer I just bought my S5 about 2 months ago.. and literally just bought a Nexus 5 to play around with from the Play Store..
Features a 2.5Ghz Snapdragon 805 (underclocked from 2.7GHz found in Note 4)
Significantly faster memory bandwidth
Upgraded GPU (presumably a Adreno 420)
Faster LTE (advance 300Mbps).
Anyone here tempted to upgrade? Im wondering what the overall performance is like compares to S5 and Note 4.
http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-reveals-the-galaxy-s5-plus-the-worlds-fastest-android-smartphone

Don't c a need to upgrade any further unless they improve the display and add more ram...And stop with all the dang lockdown on their phones ...if it wasn't for HTC so called ultra pixel camera I would jump to them ..

Do not buy plus phones, they will not be prioritized. Look at the s4 plus and its update history.

I almost regreted my desicion of purchasing the S5 Prime when I heard the news. However I still prefer the 2.5k display and 3GB ram, and something about OIS?

Standard Samsung M.O. for a new model. Hold back a few features plus develop or refine a few more.
The staged release of a half dozen enhanced derivative versions over six months is to spur and maximize sales.

All while Apple releases one (or two...) new phone(s) and the sales go into the numerous millions.

What's the screen size of this phone?

The same screen size, only difference is the snapdragon 805 procesor. The rest of the specs remains unchanged

I agree on this, also korean version of any international phone are slightly better in built and quality wise, this has always been the case with phone sold within japan and korea from previous example.

Please also rate this one.

The Samsung from the second, and the Galaxy from the first.
Why?
Because in the second Samsung is the actual branding, whereas in the first it's just a word.
The font from the first Galaxy is better suited to the word and its meaning.
And by both of them being written in capital letters, it's more consistent.
Just my 2 cents as a designer.

Exactly. The "samsung" from the second one is the brand logo, but i don't like the new "Galaxy" font from 2015 and newer as much as the older one, which looked more Galaxy-Like.
The S6 is no real "Galaxy" anymore.
