on a side note, anyone familiar w/ AMOLED displays and what the benefit is with active matrix. i wiki'd it last nite but they just explain the tech, not really the benefits over a typical TFT display. ]]>Apr 27th 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Advantages

AMOLED displays fabricated on flexible plastic substrates have the following advantages:

* Very thin and lighter weight
* Greatly minimized propensity for breakage
* Lower-power, highly rugged with superior image quality, and low cost compared to the current LCD displays
* Due to their inherent ruggedness, allow a unique form factor of conformability and rollability during use, transportation and storage

Disadvantages

The display is very difficult to view in sunlight.

... FM radio is a tried and tested radio format. Internet radio is absolutely unnecessary if the stations you want are in FM.

DAB radio would be nice to put in phones, but they'll never do it.]]>May 9th 2009 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/May 12th 2009 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/HTC didn't get it wrong because of the camera, they got it wrong because generally the handset was cheap and plasticy, exclusing of a 3.5mm jack and on top of that a pretty basic camera.

Samsung has all their bases covered and i can't wait for this phone now :)]]>Apr 27th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/

So, I'd still take Samsung over the HTC any day.

There's something in between bland and gaudy LED nightmare, you know?]]>Apr 27th 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/
That said, I really wish this one had a QWERTY keyboard. I'm looking for a good phone with a large proper keyboard: the Pre's keyboard looks pathetic and annoying (I'll have to try it to be sure though), and the G1 just feels like dated technology and doesn't have a 3.5mm jack.

My iPhone contract is coming up for a renewal and I'd like a new handset if possible. The new iPhone isn't likely to change much, so I can keep my 3G for any iPhone needs. I'd like a new handset, and I'm curious about Android. This handset, without a keyboard, just isn't right. At least for me.]]>Apr 27th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/
Have you used the iPhone browser? Once you realize that you can double-tap in an area to zoom it optimally (a great feature), you never dick around with the pinching and squeezing.

Multitouch is an overhyped gimmick that hasn't been shown doing jack diddly that's truly useful and efficient.]]>Apr 28th 2009 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/
Multitouch opens up a bunch of cool possibilities, it's not something that definately SHOULDN'T be in a device only because it's in the iPhone, which, as can be seen among these comments, is a rather unpopular device amongst techie commons.]]>Apr 30th 2009 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/Apr 27th 2009 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/And BTW : assuming anyone can develop any app on Android, is there the slightest chance that someone puts up a nice Audio player which supports .ogg ?
