The Samsung Galaxy S (a.k.a., Captivate, Vibrant, Epic 4G, Fascinate) is the best Android phone out there. It has the most powerful graphics, the most energy-sipping and bright screen, and it stayed with a 5MP camera so the picture quality is good. The major downside is some versions don’t have a camera flash or a front-facing camera (the Epic is the only version that has both).
In another thread, you asked me:
"Ingenuity? That's a tricky one. The Galaxy is pretty much the standard high-end phone package. What seems to be the ingenuity part? The AMOLED screen?"
I'd almost taken time to simply respond 'Google Talk' a day or so later, but then it was announced that Apple was going to allow Google Talk to come to the iPhone even though Google still seems to be silent about it. Maybe iPhone people will get it after all.
Google Talk is pretty much changing my life.
Known issues with Vibrant:
GPS software issues - OTA update completed waiting on rollout.
No handsfree on wired headset - Fixed in android 2.2 waitiing on rollout
No Adobe Flash - Fixed in 2.2 waiting on rollout.
No camera flash - No big deal for me, if i need pro pics, use good camera.
Overall great phone. Are there better phones out there? Maybe, but I'm happy so who cares.
