  • "What a Let Down!"

    Pros: Dual Core, that's it.

    Cons: Screen size is WAY too big for 800x480 resolution. Chassis is WAY too big to fit comfortably in the hand. T-Mobile & Samsung are great tag-team partners when it comes to dropping support for devices.

    Summary: The Vibrant, T-Mobile's original Galaxy S, is 4" and has the exact same resolution (800x480, which @ 4" = 233ppi), which means it has a greater pixel density (PPI), and it doesn't have all that sharp of a display. So reducing sharpness by increasing size doesn't make for a good combination. It ends up making the icons look ridiculous on the home screen, since there's so much room between them, not to mention video and photos look pixelated. This phone is the definition of "let down".
