Great now but what about later.

I just wanted your guys opinion..


This phone is amazing but android puts out phones like every other day. This phone is probably the best android phone out now but do you think by the time our contracts are over ( 2 years for most of us) the phones will have become to much better they make our vibrant look like horse ****

i mean it happened with the g1

I believe this phone is good for one year or year and half cause 3.0 will last till 2012 since that will be the start of yearly major updates

This happens with every phone, computer, car, toaster, and toilet paper. It's called innovation. So yeah, there will be better phones, probably the day after you buy the one you want.

Of course that's going to happen. Technology is always evolving. Sure there will be a better phone a few months down the road, but there ALWAYS will be.

Like this phone, for example. Sure, T-Mo will probably have another (possibly better) phone out this fall. If I waited for that one, they'll announce the next big phone coming out this winter (example). Well why not just wait for the 'winter' phone? But before the 'winter' phone is released, they announce a 'spring' phone. Might as well wait a few more months for the 'spring' phone.

So some people will just keep waiting and waiting and waiting (for that NEXT superphone). That's why I went ahead and got the Vibrant. It's an amazing phone with (most of) the features i wanted.

Phones are like all other tech... There is always something better just around the corner. If you wait for it, you wind up never having anything.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow...


I do also understand the OPs point and this phone has a good life span.

I honestly think the Vibrant will have long staying power. At this point I don't think (at least I hope so) screens will get any bigger. I think what you will start seeing is the CPUs getting faster and more storage. And obviously better cameras. As long as Samsung and xda support this phone you will be using it for a long time. Seeing as every USA carrier is getting a version of the Galaxy S it will be supported for a while. I mean look at the G1, its still going strong.

You hit it right on the head. My contract has been up since December and I passed on the Nexus one hoping to get the best phone on the market. If you are not happy with your phone currently then you should buy the Vibrant! I feel bad for the people who keep waiting just like I did before!

There will always be a big feature upgrade in the 'next' phone. Bluetooth 3.0 is coming out in the future, there will probably be some new HDTV out technology, and who knows what else.

Actually I checked with Samsung. They told me no one is going to top this phone for about 10 years. You're fine.

All jokes aside, you must be a very young fellow not to see the repeated patterns of progression made in technology over the last few decades. Human beings in general always strive to progress. unless you're high.... And on top of that, or shall I say before all that, we are all greedy by nature, so we will always strive to create the next big item to make that moola!
