You have some of the best hardware technology in the business. We want your processor and super amoled screen. We do not want your nasty Touchwiz 3.0 UI.

Seriously. I want to buy every one of your new superphones I see. I will not as long as long as you continue to do this.

Stock Android. Come through with updates. Get my money.]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/ok]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/i am sure there will be an option to disable that to get the stock android UI like the one in htc to disable sense UI.. no?]]>Jun 11th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/Jun 11th 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/100% agree ]]>Jun 11th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/Samsung is so damn stubborn.

(People report that HTC's SenseUI can be turned off, but it turns out that it can only be half turned off.)

Sometimes we like their hardware, but not their custom UI.]]>Jun 11th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/Jun 11th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/
Agreed, and while we're at it, make the phone easily rootable. Honestly, how does a manufacturer like HTC or Samsung suffer from making a phone easily rootable? But yeah, updates and support have made it difficult to purchase Samsung. ]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/totally agree with you!]]>Jun 11th 2010 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/How Korea advertises it's AMOLED screen...

I've got the Samsung Bada. the thing has some issues with mail- and exchange-accounts. Called Samsung. The guy on the other end seriously asked me "Yeah, so? What do you want me to do about it?" - Seriously!

+ Impressive processing power

Samsung's cons:
- Intentional lack of updates
- Appearance of the hardware itself borders on ugly (and tends to cross said border)
- Dreadful custom UI
- Obscene prices
- Keyboard?]]>Jun 12th 2010 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/samsungs-galaxy-apollo-smartphone-is-coming-soon-looks-like-an/http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-apollo-black]]>Jun 22nd 2010 12:22PM
