Not bad looking for Samsung and also price doesn’t look that bad either.
800 Mhz, Crisper screen.. Samsung.. Can we get Sense UI on it?
The 3.2 inch screen kills it. Nobody wants a screen smaller than the iphone’s anymore.
Nice and Fast with that 800 Mhz processor,
but Sprint will probably mandate this device to be activated on one of their Newer, more Expensive, Less Featured Plans
Can’t wait to look at that screen (active matrix organic LED)
Why don’t they do stuff like this for the Windows Mobile phones? As in, announce them ahead of time for people to preorder? Instead, we get stuck guessing and going off of “well this person said that, and that person said this”.
put a full fledged hero rom on this and im soooo sold
An attention getter. First time in a long time I’ve looked at a non-WinMo phone and had any interest at all. Nice for the price too. I guess we’ll have to add a forum here for it, LOL!

So how will this compare to the TP2 and will it be aimed at a different customer base?
I would say doesn’t compart at all since it would be like comparing apples to oranges. This is a Samsung powered by Android verses the Touch Pro 2 which is an HTC phone powered by Windows Mobile. Generally your looking at two different audience bases as well so yes your customer base will be different.
FINALLY!!! A STABLE ohone worth wairing for…..now I have a real uograde choice…either this, or wait for the HTC Leo…nice!
LOL! I was typing on my crappy Diamond, sorry about the errors, lol
Great specs, but the phone looks a little cheezy. Samsung, you were SO CLOSE!
BTW: Looks like the phone wont be offered to SERO customers
Im going to wait and compare this moment with the Hero and make my decision.
