AMOLED shortage sucks all across the board. I have a Samsung P&S in backorder for a couple months now due to the shortage.

Only the companies with the deepest pockets are going to get first preference and that might not even cut it. The companies that build AMOLED displays will use them for their own products.

I sent it in too. They're kinda slow on this one. I already put it on my phone and sideloaded Flash on it.

Pantech is getting pretty good at making phones. I personally think that they are one of the few companies that could pull an HTC in a few years. They need to drop that skin and load stock Android on that poor phone though.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/Aug 3rd 2010 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/Aug 3rd 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/ I had that wallpaper on my phone.

That would be nice, but the US decided long ago that it could survive without factory-jobs....
.... except that no country can survive without manufacturing jobs and the crap position we are in today is proof of that. ]]>Aug 3rd 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/
Not a fan. The only touch button that has ever been responsive for me is the one on the older ps3s.

They just seem slow to respond sometimes. It's either a button or it's not. If it's touch sensitive just put it on the damn screen. If not make them tactile buttons.

Maybe the buttons share a digitizer with the screen or something... ]]>Aug 3rd 2010 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/pantech-drops-amoled-completely-due-to-shortage-may-resume-use/

Samsung, UI, and Ripoff. Something doesn't belongs there. If you're talking about the "other" phone but do that phone got widget, live wallpaper, and multiple page view?
