Samsung Vibrant (TMo AWS)

[B0000rt]

So I bit the bullet and got the sucker. I've not had any experience with Android prior to this phone, I've been on a streak of Symbian S60V3 and V2 (6620, E50, E61i, N79)

The UI and phone very really slick, the interface hardly ever shows any hickups at all (couldn't say the same for any of my S60 phones) I've yet to put any 3D games on it

Phone's uber thin and light, take that as you will...

Only gripe I've had so far is the touch sensitive buttons on the bottom. I find myself having to press them twice or more as they don't always stay active..

If anyone has any questions that haven't been answered somewhere else, please fire away!

Does the lack of a flash camera cause problems when taking pictures in the dark?

Well even with an LED flash the pics usually don't come out that well anyways. Without the flash the pics are still abit noisy.

What carrier are you using here? How much did it cost? Which Vibrant do you have?

Pretty crappy so far.... Though I've been using it a whole lot over the weekend. Lets see how it fares at work tomorrow... Then again this is my first phone > 2.8" screen.

With TMo... Bought it outright $500 or so. The AWS version as per the title

Sorry for my ignorance, we have a limited number of carriers where I live. Is TMo = T-Mobile?

Do you live in Canada?

If so, where did you purchase this phone? I am highly interested in this phone.

[B0000rt]

No I don't live in Canada.

Yes TMo is T-Mobile.

And here's battery life. X for time, Y for % of battery life.

Green bars on the times are when charging. If you look at the right side, after 8am is when I left for work, the steady drain is just standby with WiFi and Bluetooth off. I have a black background screen, with no widgets running (other than Power control) and the screen is at the lowest brightness. Autosync is off (basically nothing is lit up in Power Control)

If you notice on that big slope there are some points where it drops off faster, that's when I'm actively using the phone for internet etc.

If you look on the left side it's kinda crazy, but you can drain the battery faster than the charger can charge the phone!




This app is a friggin dog btw... Takes a long time to load, and even more time to friggin render that graph... Anyone know of another free alternative?
