Expect a June launch date for the Galaxy S and the same for the Wave if are in line with the Korean launch and in regards to the latter with specific regards to their manufacturing schedule as the Wave might get delayed due to priorities/screen supply. ]]>May 13th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/t mobile is gettin the galaxy s later this month or early june]]>May 13th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/
rant:

I still don't understand why would Samsung make a mobile like that (I mean awesome!) and then decide to give one carrier only the exclusivity for it!

No matter how much money they're willing to pay you I would guess you're better off selling as many as you can, this way if you make good products people will return.

Take SE, they're selling the X10 and the vivaz through every carrier here in the UK and they're selling like hotcakes (according to my friends working at carphone warehouse), with a lower quality product (for what we expect from the galaxy S at least).

Idiots

Hopefully something happens in the next few days and T-Mobile gets a Evo or the UK gets an Evo...

The software was super smooth and I think the sudden launch of the device without much notice was specifically to hear and iron out any complaints with the touchwizz layer on top of Android before launching their flagship device, but that's just my guess. ]]>May 13th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/

Everyreview of Desire or Legend etc that I've seen has the home screens horribly laggy when swiping as well as jerky scrolling.

The hands on demos of Samsung has really responsive swiping and scrolling.]]>May 13th 2010 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/May 13th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/May 13th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/samsung-galaxy-s-and-wave-coming-soon-to-vodafone-uk/Yea the Galaxy (which is the only one pictured above) does, only it's a little more square, which makes it kinda awkward. large screen though.
The wave, on the other had, is pretty different from the iPhone and has a seamless metal body, check it out

Sorry, a disgruntled i8910 owner here.

Anybody that wants to buy this, just be aware that if you have any problems or software issues with your device, Samsung has zero post sales support. Zero. And you're never getting a firmware upgrade.
