Why is this happening.]]>Apr 28th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/
The problem with the G1's chin (as far as typing is concerned) was the "height" of the protrusion (or "depth" depending on how you look at it). I've used one myself and can say that the distance isn't really that big.

You can always use the virtual keyboard in portrait mode, you know. Though admittedly it will be BlackBerry Pearl-style, 2 letters per key and predictive.

I guess I'm defending Sammy because this is the best hardware-keyboard-less Android device yet imo. I wouldn't want a cramped portrait slider keyboard, like a Pre. A landscape slider with a screen that fully spans top to bottom would be the best of everything I guess. With a trackball... somewhere...]]>Apr 28th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/
Ok I hadn't watched this video yet:

I see that the virtual keyboard coming with cupcake won't require 2 letters per key in portrait mode.]]>Apr 28th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/a video on the phone, something besides rushing thru screen........]]>Apr 28th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/

Android fonts and UI are as ugly or as beautiful as you want them to be: this is the point of having an open platform.
The same can be said for all programs, apps, games, plug ins, etc you may care to add or subtract from it.
Open platform means totally skinnable interface, do you get it or you bought an iPhone?]]>Apr 28th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/Apr 28th 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/samsungs-i7500-android-phone-shreds-in-first-hands-on-video/

Your life must really suck if that upset you so much.

Dislikes: Can we see how responsive the touchscreen is?
Can we see text input?
Can we see it do something processor-intensive?
Can we see what the built-in apps look like?
Did we need a minute looking at the USB interface?
