Comments: Brand new, unopened. INVISIBLE SHEILD already on it. Very protective covering. Costs $50, but is already included on this phone for free. Also I am throwing in a FREE car charger which does not come with the phone if you buy it from Tmobile. I am also including everything that comes in the box.

Amazing phone - wholeheartedly endorse September 6, 2010
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know how much I have to add to the extensive discussion and review of this phone, but I would like to add my endorsement. It's absolutely incredible. The screen is beautiful and the processor is lightning fast.
The primary challenge in decision-making regarding recent android phones seems to be the hardware the customer needs/wants. Essentially, no matter what droid phone you get, you're getting a great phone. If you want a phone with a beautiful screen, good battery life, a fast processor and a surprisingly good speaker, then this phone is perfect for you. If you need a led flash on your camera or video conferencing then this might not be the right model.
My one complaint with the phone (which I did not know about ahead of time and which holds true to all android phones) is regarding the alarm. If you set the alarm and turn the phone off (to charge, etc.), the phone does not turn on to set off the alarm. So, if you want it to wake you up, you have to leave it on. There are some great apps to save power all night, effectively turning your phone off, but it is something worth considering.
Alarm aside, this phone is everything I could have hoped for and more. The more you use it, the more you'll love it.
 Dreadful reception September 4, 2010
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Worst reception I have ever encountered in a cell phone. This Vibrant replaced my original G1 Android phone which died during a business trip.
For playing with Android apps, watching Avatar, checking the time, taking 5 megapixel pictures the phone is great.
For making and recieving phone calls it sucks. I travel all over the country and this phone just doesn't pick up signals very well.
It's as though the ability to make phone calls was an afterthought in the phone's design. I rarely have bars for reception strength, and people complain that their calls keep getting rolled over to voicemail or they simple go unanswered even by voicemail.
I would seriously avoid this phone and although I got mine from T-Mobile, I may be returning it.
Just purchased Vibrant....graduating from querty keyboard...Very Excited!! September 4, 2010

I just purchased the Vibrant and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this phone. I was so used to using the Samsung Messenger, that using a touch screen, just didnt want too. Because I am moving out of state, I had to switch carriers...getting the Vibrant.
I have had it for a few days now and I noticed after I changed to default security code to my personal that I noticed when I turned the phone on to enter the security code, the screen would go black but the top tool bar was only showing. I would have to hit the house button for the screen to appear then enter the code. It was not doing that before. Has any one had this issue? i posted on [...] as well.
 Good hardware wasted by poor android software September 3, 2010
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great Hardware. No questions about it. Beautiful screen, really slim body and sexy looks. It has a nice powerful processor that makes it speedy but alas the software is no match for the hardware. I bought this phone after reading good things about Android and hoping that Google will do justice to the hardware but was totally disappointed.
The phone comes with android 2.1 which is a fairly recent version but it still feels pretty old and boring. The phone is capable of displaying beatiful visuals but all that I end up using is the boring default UI and confusing visuals that Samsung decided to put on it. Theere are many annoying things to it. The phone locks up every so often, the programs are organized in a confusing manner. The Phone is littered with a number of crapware that I cannot get rid of etc...
Battery life is another thing that I did not like on this. Now I am not sure if it's Samsung who decided to put this anemic battery in there or its the Android that is eating it up but the phone barely makes it through a day. HTC Touch Pro 2 which was my last phone easily lasted for a couple of days.
Overall this phone gets 2 stars due to its good looking hardware. But nothing for the poor software.
What's the big deal? September 3, 2010

I recently switched from a Blackberry Curve to this device and I am not impressed.
I have had this phone for ten days. I cannot get through an entire day without the battery dying. It's been a week of limited calling ability. I do not use the internet and very little messaging but by my third call each day, I receive a message telling me that I have a low battery and CANNOT MAKE A CALL. Are you serious?
The camera is a JOKE. The only way to take a picture is with the touch screen so if you try to take a picture of yourself or you and a friend, good luck.
There is no way to tell that you have a missed call or message without turning on the phone. No indicator whatsoever. This might be a missed setting on my part but every time I go to use the phone, I have to TURN IT ON, THEN UNLOCK IT. Why doesnt it stay on?
I charget his thing every night and changed the screen settings to save battery life but to no avail. The two stars are because I feel like being nice and I like two of the apps that don't come standard.
