Samsung Vibrant A Galaxy S Phone

mratx512...you should just start apologizing now and get it over with. It was going to release in late July but T-Mobile and Samsung realized they needed this handset as soon as possible to compete with the Evo, Incredible and iPhone so they moved it up to early July.

In May, AndroidGuys posted a set of rumors claiming, among other things, that the SGS would come to T-Mo first (early July); that all 4 carriers would get it; that all models but AT&T would have a camera flash; the Sprint model would have a QWERTY keyboard. Well, the Sprint model with QWERTY just leaked, making some of the other parts of the rumor believable.

If the T-Mo version does come with a camera flash, I wonder what all the haters are going to complain about? Oh yeah, they'll bring up the Behold II some more.

yea forget the SGS.. the SGS Pro is where its at! http://androidcommunity.com/exclusive-more-pictures-of-the-galaxy-s-pro-20100614/

Its the same as the SGS, but it has a 5-row QWERTY (w/ 4-way directional keys).. it has the "normal" Android front buttons (no trackpad i think).. i hope Tmo will get this.

Doesn't look like the SGS at all though just the UI

Notice the "MAT" (material) is white polypropylene? Gives me hope that they did some hardware tweaking for this version (i.e. camera flash).

Ok I'm an idiot. The whit polypropylene is referring to the material that the FCC label is made out of. 

Anyone who wants to manually dig through the FCC stuff:

After many failed attempts to get a Nexus One at a reasonable price (due to family plan restrictions), this is my only hope for Tmo. If this baby is everything they say it is and launches in July, it's mine. If not, I'll have to go find a new home with Sprint and the EVO =(

Agreed. I need the Galaxy S features a lot but the keyboard would be 100x better...I hope tmo gets this as well or i'm back to "well, maybe I should switch...".

If TMO does not get this, they are definitely shouting out "Family plans and tweens/teens only!" :*(

SIgh....i really don't want to ditch TMO but at this point...

@DamnofThursday....Yea because high schoolers and parents have $300 to blow on cell phones. Fail!! This phone is the most powerful Android phone announced to release this year.

@Mratx512....Start apologizing...It just passed FCC with AWS bands and a T-Mobile model number.

What if T959 had 3.75G and 2.2 (with native tetheriing and hotspots)?

It wont.

How?  I don't think this is a tween phone.  In fact, I see more teens with physical keyboard phones than touchscreens.  I personally don't like the keyboard.  If TMo got that Pro, I wouldn't upgrade.  I like the simple use of having a touchscreen and not having an extra chunk of plastic with buttons attached.

Buddy I'll start apologizing when I see the phone on TMO's list at tmobile.com. Remember how much proof and hype there was about the Nokia N900 ALSO COMING to TMO???

There wasn't this much proof. But suit yourself...
