T-mobile will be getting a version of the Samsung Galaxy s, and it will be called the Samsung Vibrant. It has almost the exact same specifications as the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S, except for some slight differences in hardware and the fact that it comes with some preloaded applications and media. The specifications of the Samsung Vibrant should be familiar to you if you have heard of the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S, but if you haven’t here is a repeat of the specifications of the Samsung Vibrant. The Vibrant has a ton of great features and I can’t really think of anything that it doesn’t have. On the outside there is a 4 inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, 4 touch sensitive buttons, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro USB port, The speaker, and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, geo-tagging, touch to focus, face detection, and smile detection. The camera is also capable of taking HD video at 720p and 30 fps. On top of that, there is a front facing video-call camera. Now, let’s get to the insides of the phone. The Samsung Vibrant runs Android 2.1 Eclair, which isn’t Froyo, but is still pretty new. The Vibrant also has a 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor, 512 MB of RAM, and the option of 8 or 16 GB of built in memory. The memory can also be expanded with a microSD card of up to 32 GB. Now for connectivity, The Samsung Vibrant has WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, assisted GPS, and 3G connectivity on T-Mobile’s network with HSDPA and HSUPA for both fast upload and download speeds. Samsung has stated that the Samsung Vibrant can benefit from HSDPA Plus speeds, but that the device does not actually have HSDPA Plus connectivity, which is kind of confusing. The device also has an accelerometer sensor and a proximity sensor. A cool feature which I don’t think that I have seen on any other Android phone is Swype text input. The phone also has a pretty good battery life with a 1500 mAh battery that delivers up to 720 hours of standby time on 2G and 576 hours on 3G, and thirteen and one-half hours of talk time on 2G and six and one-half hours on 3G. That’s pretty much it for the specifications, which are amazing. The phone is being released on July 21 for $200, but if you want to save some cash you can pre-order it on July 1 at Radio Shack for just $50, which is later returned to you as a gift card. You get all this plus Avatar and The Sims 3 Collector's Edition pre loaded onto a 2 GB microSD card. The Samsung Vibrant seems like a great addition to the T-Mobile family.
