[Galaxy Tab General] alovell83:
No, iPad is $640 range sans for the 3G, (there are some reports there will be a wifi-only but I happen to believe the reports that all will have a cell radio, even if coming disabled by default unless sold by a carrier...end part my speculation):

a camera, let alone two

dual band wireless N

expandable storage

pixel density (sacrficing screen size, but increasing holdability and portability)

flash support

...no point in going on, they are going all out, Apple held something back

form factors & OS to be argued, but I think Apple-Central (Engadget) themselves said they like this one for it's one-handed possibilities, better for e-reading due to the pixel density, weight and form factor

I can tell you that it's main competitor in Korea is coming in at less than $300 US without a contract and free on contract (less than $30/month wi-bro contract). This is definitely a better device, but if we can see other non-Apple's doing cheap then we can see this having great options as well.

I definitely expect this in the 400-500 range, $500 is a bit of a shame for people that will go without a data plan, but it is what it is and adds future flexibility.

They won't price these based on exchance rates, that's not how the market works, they price these to what the customers can bear. For example, in England the iPad starts at 429 pounds, in Germany and France the iPad starts at 500 Euro, in the U.S. it starts at $500 USD. Expect Samsung to price according to market as well, and for this to be 400+ Euro.

The iPhone costs more than the base iPad, you are looking at subsidized pricing versus non-subsidized pricing...there's a difference. Again, comparing this to an iPad isn't correct on many levels. First, some people have never been interested in the iPad even if they are mildly or majorly tickled by the idea of having a tablet device. Next, for those who want the GSM version, $400 would be more than $200 cheaper than the iPad, the iPad would be priced more than 50% higher than this! They don't need to undercut them that much, look above and feel free to comment back.

As far as "teethering" goes I swear I've read teethering like 3 times in 2 weeks, is this a new internet meme (anyone can answer and sorry for being slightly off-topic, I'm not the grammar police, just trying to be educated on what's hip :))

I think many, many of us knew. At least those that read the webblogs, this thing has more leaks than the Bush Administration (eh, probably could've done better, but hey).
[Galaxy Tab General] alovell83:
Ooo, now I get to ask my question. I love the Galaxy S, but how many people with a Galaxy S are in the market for this device? I'm really curious, I'd be more tempted by their other offerings in 2011 which will be more feature packed and give me more screen real estate (read, less redundant). I do think the device is sexy, but right now I don't see myself buying one, but am open-minded and want to hear opinions on both sides.

[Galaxy Tab General] yhdks:
If it had Super AMOLED display + 1GB RAM and got 2G+3G removed, I'd be very interested.

However, I think tablets should get cheaper. I mean... netbooks are getting cheaper day by day and you can buy a decent one with $250-300. I know that tablets are more portable and time-efficient since they don't need booting, but the pricing isn't attractive at all.

Sorry, guys, o2 Germany sets the price to a monthly fee of €27,50 with €99 as the first rate, i.e. €759 in total. Available early October.

[Galaxy Tab General] Do the Android:
I'm with you 100%.:D

Phones are smaller and much more delicate and costly to make compare to bigger tablets.

The price has to be much lower than ipad to compete with them. In my opinion :p.
[Galaxy Tab General] mm148881:
Price in France

I heard a spokesperson from Samsung France on France Info radio this afternoon. The price in France will be 699 € with no contract with a mobile operator. It is an incredibly steep price, I paid the same amount for a wifi only iPad with 64 Go of memory! It is a really surprising price, I am wondering if I misunderstood.... No way I am going to buy it.
[Galaxy Tab General] mm148881:
I did NOT misunderstand!! Just verified... I doubt they are going to sell a lot of them...
[Galaxy Tab General] zBlood:
Damn, that is a pretty steep price for the Tab. Such a shame. The Galaxy player 50 (not the YP-MB2) will be 220-299$ euros. (Also Revealed at IFA today) I guess they're looking to copy Apple's pricing. I hope it comes to the US.
[Galaxy Tab General] INeedYourHelp:
Ignore what I said, I now have no interest in this:o. I will keep loving my sgs ty.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Thats a SWEET price point if you ask me. Its the upfront price that I thinks going to make or break this device. The monthly is the same as a good smartphone plan, so plenty of minutes, texts and unlimited data. Sure if you have a smartphone already, its not that wonderful , but its aimed at getting new people from the PAYG and dumbphone market.

If this comes to the UK with that kinda pricing, I'll be going to vodafones office with a sharp implement to get one.

To put it in perspective, that pricing is cheaper than the iPhone 4, let alone the iPad. Its even better than I was hoping for the subbed price :D
[Galaxy Tab General] pronik:
Hate to disappoint you, but that's a device-only monthly. There are no minutes, messages or traffic included.

hi

i had some problems !

here is the best info

try every thing and search and read what i understud was that some phones have different ways to get in to the right hardspl mode i all most gave up and then it workt

DONT GIVE UP I WAS ON IT FOR 2 WEEKS

THE WORST THING IS I DONT REMEMBER WHAT I DID SORRY !

HASSE
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dna_voluntatis:
Several time ago i got that error too, but i never give up. Try another hardspl for xperia, when u click it, it will auto generate to extract some file, just click romupdate utility and follow the same procedure.

If still got some error, try install it from a fresh computer with usb 2.0 installe and active synch.

You just got that error becouse there is some miss connection with another usb device.

So I did a hard reset on the phone (settings-> clear storage) and then tried again. Worked like a charm. Installing ROM right now!

Hi,

Just thought I'd mention that I'm interested in putting WP7 on my SGS. I know WP7 isn't out yet, but it doesn't hurt to let everyone know that I'd love to flash it!

Hope somebody works it out :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aavan:
There's a lot of chance that it won't happen.

The SGS has custom hardware (for instance the CPU isn't a Snapdragon but a Hummingbird, it's Samsung made).

So if the WP7 kernel is not officially compiled to run on the hummingbird, it will not work.

And I doubt that the WP7 kernel will be open source...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myrlar:
Hi everyone,

Anybody looked into this?

WP7 is supposed to have a solid driver stack (at least that is what MS boast about) so surely this can't be impossible.

They put Android on HD2... anything is possible!

(i'm just not smart enough to do it :p)

Hi Guys.

I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.

When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.

I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.

I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.

Thanks & Best Regards

I don't believe this has anything to do with manila but with the phone canvass or dialer.

Whether or not this can be added I don't know.

[Windows Mobile] leadpoizon:
The incoming call screen in Phone Canvas displays whatever you have the name filed as in your contacts. Why not file it differently? You know, you can add a company name to a contacts information and have the company name display in parentheses right after their name. That way, it will display in that format in your calls too. Just a suggestion...
[Windows Mobile] nfreire:
Thanks for your suggestion, but I use my phone mainly for business and I need to file name and company in diferent fields. I really need a company field on dialer screen so I can quicly identify who is calling me. I have 912 contacts and isn't easy to remember where each contact works.

http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/07/1...s-android-2-2-update-tipped-for-early-august/

They all point to the claim made by Samsunghub, which claims it was "confirmed" by a samsung rep. We don't know if their rep worked with Samsung themselves though, and we don't know the reliability of their rep.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] steveohan:
i'm in korea, and nope we havent received the froyo update yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Heh, I check every night because I don't follow a Korean blog (there is one that I do seem to link to on a lot of naver searches so I probably should just bookmark it).

When you get Froyo please post (start a new thread at xda, not this thread) and I'll do the same. I know many users who could use the info, will be unlikely to promptly hear without XDA or a western news source, and some don't even have Kies set up to occasionally check (but they'll be able to go to a Service center to get the update).

Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 General] veethree:
Thanks, this is very useful! I'm due for an upgrade at the end of the month and am fairly torn between the two. AT the moment I'm leaning towards the x10 because a properly functioning GPS is important to me (have just changed cities, don't want to end up in the sea) and because I use my device for reading a lot, so sharper text would be better. However, my wife has the Samsung Wave, which also has a SAMOLED screen and it's well-nigh unbeatable when it comes to media viewing of any kind, which has made me think twice about my choice.

Otherwise, from what I've read, my thoughts seem to mirror yours. Hmmm, decisions decisions...
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Excellent comparison. You really weren't kidding when you said you weren't a fanboi for either brand. :)

The reasoning is sound and the arguments presented, while subjective, are fair. I agree on most parts, I've even taken steps to rectify some of the criticisms.

YMMV but Vignette works really well for me, I've used it several times to snap photos of printed documents and they've turned out ok. Not perfect but good enough to run OCR on so it might be worth a look.

For the video playback I wholeheartedly recommend Rockplayer. It's been able to play everything I've thrown at it. It doesn't do HD content well though, I usually get around 15 fps playing back 720p videos. It drops frames making it watchable but I can't stand watching anything at that speed. Anything with a native or lower resolution plays back at full speed though, even high bitrate MKV.

Both those apps are commercial but there are demo versions available, you should check them out. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
Does the SGS playback 1080p DivX files? I read the Galaxy Tab does this (it has the same CPU if I'm not mistaken). I know 1080p playback on a device this small doesn't make sense, but I'm just curious if the CPU/GPU has the raw power to do this stuff.
[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
Yep :)

This review is spot on.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Thank you for your kind comments.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Yes i have tried rockplayer when it was a beta and its great, I will include this review thanks for the tip.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
Pretty good comparison. You didn't really go into any major bugs or issues with either device but that's ok for comparison's sake.

There is one thing I am confused about. You say you couldn't get focus in close-up shots on the X10? Did you have it in Macro mode for this? Just wondering because I haven't had any trouble when using Macro mode.

Also, you didn't really mention anything about reception. This is one area (having had both phones for more than a couple weeks) where the X10 really shines above the SGS devices.

Finally, in regard to vibration on the SGS devices, when I had a i9000 rom on my Captivate I noticed the vibration was really week. There is a setting menu to increase the vibration but on the i9000 rom is was not as strong as it was on the Captivate. This suggests that this issue is likely resolved with a software upgrade since the intensity is adjustable.

Sorry, I almost forgot, you can have playlists larger than 20 songs on the X10. I'm not sure if that comment was in regard to SGS or the X10. I have five playlists on my X10 right now and they are all 100 songs or larger.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
1. I could get focus but i would have to move the camera further away than the sgs and the images were not as clear, yes i used macro mode.

2. reception, im in an area of good reception so they both have max bars all the time.

3. What i was getting at was vibration was weak in both phones compared to my very old phones eg my old Samsung u900, even when increased to max.

4. This was not the case with rb14/16 mediascape so that may have been fixed.

What bug have i not mentioned

I hope that answers your questions.
[XPERIA X10 General] cwepruk:
Agree on the X10 Camera. Great in natural light, often poor otherwise.

I do not find the X10 fast. In fact, I find it rather slow with the odd hang up sometimes.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I was trying not to muddy up this thread. I experienced several serious bugs on the Captivate that didn't necessarily start on day one. Some of them started in week three but persisted even after a full reset of the phone. Mostly had to do with rebooting, freezing and just shutting down for no reason. These are the bugs that made me return the device. I have not experienced any of this type of thing with the X10 yet.

The vibration comment was just to point out that the Captivate ROM has better vibration than the i9000 ROM so it appears to be a software tuning issue.

To be quite honest, if Samsung shows that they are going to actually support a device after selling it and fix all the Captivate issues, I may reconsider it. I am not a brand whore or fan boy, I just go with what works best for me. I can't use a phone that just shuts off on me without reason. I also need a working GPS.

I do think the X10 is better in the ways that count best for me. Making phone calls and sending text messages are high on my priority list. Browsing the web or using apps like the XDA or Engadget are also important. Google Maps and Navigation are also somewhat important and that was a complete fail on the Captivate. The Captivate doesn't do any of these things any better than the X10 so it was all about the bugs for me.

The Captivate screen is beautiful and the device has a lot of promise.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Oh thats fair enough, i am not familiar with the captivate so i am not aware of these issues, I can only make a review based on my experience :)
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I understand. The Captivate is essentially the same as the i9000 except for a few minor differences. I did run an i9000 build on the Captivate but I had to use the Captivate kernel because of the slight difference in the button arrangement between the two devices. It was better on the i9000 ROM but that presented a few quirks of it's own and was less than ideal.

If I had any faith in Samsung I would have waited out the GPS and Lag fixes. Unfortunately, they don't have the best track record as of late. I had to make a judgement call before my 30 days were up. I still have another upgrade this year and one in the Spring so I may come back if things get resolved by Samsung.

I wasn't trying to mess up your thread, just wanted a little clarification. I think you gave a much better review of both devices than anything from Engadget or the other tech sites.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
:) thanks, its nice to know my efforts are appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
Well, about the camera, just for the hardware button i would choose the X10...anyway, i'm ok with the night shots or low light indoor shots, i think it's just practice(delete the gap between : and / , the spam filter doesn¡t let me post links and the upload feature destroys the quality ):
