we'll probably get a release date for the Epic 4g in a few minutes.]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Got my first android phone a couple days ago. Have to say, the UI is really easy to use. And it's extremely convienient. Everything I look for is readily available, usually in an obvious spot (menu, search buttons). Being able to use the dedicated menu and search buttons makes it easy to customize settings and such for apps and while browsing the internet.
I'm not saying it's more slick than iOS4, but damn, I was surprised by how easy it was. I really was expecting Android to be more of a mess but it's very clean. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/

This looks amazing. Of course, as 8GB microSDs can be had for $20 retail, it would have been nicer if they included something more capacious than 2GB. This is a minor nit pick, for a fabulous looking device.

This is, IMO (and my opinion only), the first iPhone competitor built for the masses. It is powerful, vibrant, good looking, and available on many different networks. I foresee Samsung being very successful with this phone.]]>Jun 28th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/few months ago went from a 3GS to a NexusOne, dont regret it.

Well, TouchWiz is ugly, but you can deactivate it and use stock Android.

I really love the 4.3 inch screen on the HD2 and the feel of the phone... It's just missing Android, but XDA is getting close to resolving that. I don't know if I should get the HD2 or wait for this...]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/you can abandon it on my doorstep if you like lol]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Yeah, I'm never getting an android phone with a skin again.

Really?... You're really going to complain about free swag with every phone purchase?

In this case, you should be lucky! I hear some phones require you to buy $30 bumpers before you can even make a call on them!]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/Jun 28th 2010 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsung-vibrant-is-official-on-t-mobile-coming-july-21-for-20/

Partnership deals are an important aspect of marketing. It's always nice to get something a little bit extra with your purchase. It gives your purchase value and also helps to define the product to your market when the market is flooded with competing products.

There's also something to be said for being able to pull out a new product from packaging then having a ready sample for your new gadget to take advantage of before you get home, do setup and such. Instant stickiness.
