Since there are quite some crowd in here just adopted the Android platform, just want to open a thread for exchanging tips/tricks/apps/hacks... you name it.
I have an AT&T Samsung Captivate on its way, and Rogers will be launching that soon... so I should not be alone on that.
captivate is rumored for sept24 launch, same date as bb torch. rumor only thou.
the things that kinda turn me off on the att/rogers variant of the galaxy s is the lack of camera flash and the gps is A-GPS, not real GPS. can anyone confirm? my father is not waiting for rogers retention to have the iphone. but if the galaxy s has real gps, then i may get the galaxy instead. according to eprice, it is a-gps. but some people say it is gps (Without the A).
also, appearantly, galaxy s has one of the easiest unlock methods.
New LYK is not user friendly and is annoying. Now you can blow me.
The A-GPS is still a real GPS just that the A allows faster tracking through the locations of cell sites.
Speak about missing things, the 2 SIM card Galaxy S are missing camera flash and front facing camera, something I would expect a $500 phone should have.
There really isn't a choice because the Galaxy S has the 1Ghz Hummingbird Cortex A8 beats the 1Ghz Snapdragon hands down. The Super AMOLED is the next best thing compare to the IPS display. There isn't anything comparable to the Samsungs at the moment.
Still, don't expect any comparable to the Samsungs soon because of the AMOLED shortage (Samsung makes them, of course). 1.2Ghz Snapdragon won't get launched unitl Q1 and 1.5Ghz dual core until 2011.
I am switching because the Android is very customizable, and tons of support out there. The crowd at XDA are just having way too much fun!
This is the problem of Fido, since Rogers bought them, they left Fido in the dark with outdated technologies. I have yet seen any phones from Fido that attracted my atttentions.
My gf wanted me to switch to Bell so I could get the Galaxy S for a lower price, but my Fido retention+grandfathered plan is just too good to leave.
According to my gf's conversation with Bell, she could get the Galaxy S without data plan; but she needs to pay $300 for the phone for a 3 years contract or $300 for 2 years. I just think it is not really that much of a savings if the phone is now selling for about $400-$450 at market.
Nonetheless, Times Telecom now offer the Galaxy S for $0 for 3 years contract with data, it is definitely a deal.
