I've heard about the new Vibrant 4G, and also the new Galaxy S2. My T-Mobile rep said the new Vibrant 4G was a dual core phone. But everywhere I've looked says its not. However I've heard the GS2 IS a dual core phone. So, are they two different phones? Can anyone help clear this up? Also, anyone know approx. release dates?
I won't be the only one to tell you this but people at T-Mobile don't have a clue! The Vibrant 4G is called the Galaxy S 4G and comes out on Feb 23. It has a 1GHz Hummingbird processor. Not dule-core. The Samsung Galaxy S II has the dule-core processor but will not even be released in the US until later this year.

Thanks for clearing that up! So, I'm guessing if I want to go dual core anytime soon, I'm just going to have to go with the LG Optimus 2X in early March.
Yep u r correct... the Gallaxy S II is one hell of a phone though. Google it and see if you think it is worth the wait.

Here is the Galaxy S II review on Engadget. Looks Nice!

But it's still Samsung. Don't give them any more money. They'll screw that one up like they have the SGS line, with poor support.

I resent that, but truth being told some of us have no clue, we're just people working a job and are trained to use tools to resolve issues. Not all of are all into phones to the extent on this site, truth be told only a handful of us root our phones. Guess who Vibrant users come see. Yeah, it sucks sometimes, but it is what it is.

That's for the International Note. Completely different. Since they have the Exynos 1.4GHz processor, and we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz processor, the ICS for the International Note will be mostly useless to us.
Coming from previous US Samsung phones on AT&T, we will be at least 3 months behind the international version due to the fact that our devices are carrier locked, therefore AT&T has to have its go at the device and add all of the bloatware to it. It definitely sucks, but it's something we have to deal with.
Hopefully somebody can pull some ish with our Notes like LinuxBozo did for the Infuse with his HellRaiser program. If not, we are at the will of AT&T.
Hi guys. I'm looking for best hardware and software ICS for t-mobile which is unlock able for under $250. Any ideas.
Currently thinking of Samsung S Vibrant unless u guys think of better hardware (higher specs) and software support, meaning ICS already developed on XDA?
Ideas?
i own the galaxy s vibrant, and all i can say is that i love it. But i do not own the 4g. The 4g has very poor development in my opinion. but i love love love my vibrant.
T959

T959 you own? I'm little confused cause on T959 it also says 4G but according to gsmarena it's vibrant. Confused a little.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_vibrant-3416.php
there are two separate phones obviously. i have the t959, i do not know the product number on the 4g. but i do know the 4g is not usually called the vibrant, just the galaxy s 4g
oh, and btw, the 4g has a front facing camera (ffc), thats a good way to tell them apart.

Thanks bro. I was just thinking of the same thing for a reason that It has all GSM quad bands, which T959 does not have (dual only) and Tmobile/europe 3G bands. Nice! It also has ICS out already. Any other ideas guys???

S3, you can live a month with your evo, can't you ?
This phone (GT-I9100) doesn't work on Sprint. If you're asking about the Sprint Galaxy S2 variant, then you're asking about the Epic 4g Touch. Which has a separate forum.

Great advice, if he wants to change carriers.
Since, as I said above, this phone doesn't work on Sprint's network.
If he wants a Galaxy S2 variant that works on Sprint, he wants to look at the Epic 4g Touch.
Thanks for the advice guys, I will wait for S3! As far as sprint goes, they offer a Samsung galaxy S2 on their page. What's the difference?

Hardware. The one Sprint offers is the Epic 4g Touch, (aka SPH-D710) and runs on a CDMA network. That phone has its own separate forum.
THIS phone (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone, and as I've already said, won't run on Sprint's network.
moving on to best smartphone of the year! galaxy s2 is a very wise move mate or better yet wait galaxy s3 but unfortunately release date is still unknown..
Okay gang, I need your help. I'm new to the android landscape (note was my first android device) and was asked by a good friend of mine to find her a phone.
She's looking for a Unlocked Samsung Galaxy series phone that she can use here in the US as well as be able to swap a sim card and use for service in Italy when she visits.
So two questions. What device do you all recommend, and where is the best place to procure it?
Thanks in advance!! I know this is a galaxy note forum, but couldn't think of a better group of folks to field these questions

Agreed. The unlocked Nexus $399.99 is the best choice for now.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
Here's a list of frequencies used by country:
http://allworldcellphones.com/gsm-frequencies-list.htm
Italy uses GSM 900 and 1800 frequencies which is supported by the International Note as well as the I717. I didn't see anything about LTE or HSDPA related figures, but I only looked for 3 min and clicked the first link.
My suggestion would be for her to determine what she wants in a phone. Does she want to take notes? does she want a small phone? As long as the phone has the proper frequencies, she would be able to use it in Italy. Most AT&T phones have the capability of running 800 and 1800 as well as many others, but verify by looking at the specs before buying. If she has a US carrier in mind (like AT&T) she can buy one of those subsidized and pay an unlock fee from a site (cheapest I've heard of was $8) and will probably save money.
If she wants to buy a phone outright I'd say look at the galaxy 2 series. From what I hear it's a great phone, a large community here (if she feels the urge to mod it) and can pick a new unlocked one for about 400.
Hope this helps a little.
any international unlocked phone will work. the international gs3 wouldnt be a bad bet. n7000 as well. you just wont have lte. I would not recommend an at&t direct phone because it will not be unlocked. so sim flipping could be an issue in italy.
International Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Galaxy S3 to come out.

i CHECKED the internet and it doesn't say anything about 4G international, but then again if i asked your opinion about int. vs north america and you tell me to google....
thanks for the smart reply...
No, the international version (GT-I9300) does not support 4G, that's exactly why North America has its own versions (there are also some North American versions without 4G too, if I am correct).
The N.A. versions have 2 GB of RAM and a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4), while the international version have 1 GB of RAM and a 1.4 GHZ quad-core processor (Samsung Exynos 4 Quad). In addition, the maximum up and down speeds on mobile networks are obviously quite a bit higher for 4G LTE than international, but if you, like I, mostly use wifi networks, international should be fine to (and I can say from my own experience that the mobile network speeds on the international version ain't that bad either).
You will have to make up your mind yourself, though, as I think in the end, it just comes down to personal preference. I have the international version myself, though I am perfectly fine with it and I wouldn't really exchange it for a 4G model even if I could.

Hi Mr. Technology challenged. There are tons of threads in the general section with wars going on this topic. Check those out.

Also if you aren't on ATT the international one isn't worth buying anyways.

Only question for me is do i want a quad or a dual?
The 2GB of ram is nice but negligible, very little will benefit from it, at the moment anyway.
The quad core system on my i9300 is a monster, i would hate to lose two of the cores.
Plus the development for the i9300 is top notch, which for me sell's itself.
I had a bad time with the evo 3D, the uk didn't like it very much and this was reflected in development, I chose it over the sensation XE as it had an extra 256MB of ram, oohhhh big mistake lol, the sensation wasn't as quick on paper but it was optimized due to better development and for that reason i was left wanting, huge regret.
Plus the 3D didn't help
The point i'm making is, don't go for a phone just because it's got a bit more ram, especially when what's already on offer (1GB) is more than enough.
The data side of it i wouldn't know as i'm in the UK, afaik it's pretty good here.
5mb down 1.5mb up, not too shabby

I can't see carrier logos in the XDA app so I said it anyways even so, in Canada you'll only get 2G on WIND and I believe Mobilicity but I could be wrong about the latter.
