Has anyone considered getting the Samung Charge reported to be out on April 28?

Meh, I'll take MotoBlur over Touchwiz any day.

Slightly biased.

same size screen,lighter, super emeled screen (which I think is the best screen out), think it will run a bit smoother because of onboard rom

dealing with touchwhiz is not so great to me

for me i still like the thunderbolt, but the screen on the charge is super crisp

If you make the device out of low grade plastic of course its lighter.

The Super Amoled screen is clear to a point but has way to much blue tint plus the screens have been reported to develop a burn in issue, they have to improve that before I see that as better.

On board RAM helps but a 1Ghz Hummingbird...

Also I hate the Touchwiz, Blur is better and I hate it also but I will do Blur over Touchwiz

Don't forget that there is the LG Revolution and the Motorola DROID Bionic that are slated to come yet in the first half of 2011. I think the LG Revolution might run mostly stock android (could be wrong too) and the DROID Bionic might have the new Blur that according to androidcentral wasn't half bad.

Given Samsung's update track record, I probably won't ever go anywhere near this phone.  Though I do have to say that August (when I get to use my final NE2) seems to be getting farther and farther away.  I love my Eris but I am so ready for a new toy.  (Which, at this point is still looking like the TBolt)

  No big deal because if they can find something inappropriate here, they can run with it.

Thanks for the links but this doesnt give Charge a good record on performance over Incredible 2 and as for screen shots I have been using the SDK and when I am working on a project ir works better for me at this moment but I am glad to see that they are finally allowing this option on devices.

lol it's the 28th where is it? Not really instilling confidence, Samsung.

Has anyone figured out if the Bionic will be having 2.3 Gingerbread because all reviews say it will have 2.2 but all videos and screenshots have 2.3 on it..

 

[Ann154]

Interesting... The Droid Charge only has a 1500 mAh battery vs the 1400 mAh battery in the Thunderbolt.

[AZSALUKI]

i'll be keeping my tbolt for quite a while. in my opinion, it has now lived up to the hype in every way. lovin it!!! 

[Jax_Omen]

It's a Samsung, so not just "no", but "NO WAY".

[Wildman]

Wish we got the HTC Sensation after getting a chance to see its specs...

Darn you T-Mobile... , crappy service and good phone.... It just isnt right..

[AZSALUKI]

Internal Memory

768 MB RAM, 4 GB Internal Storage (1 GB user addressable)

interesting? i wonder if this is due to the inquiries we all had about the "8 gb" internal storage on the tbolt (that actually amounts to 2.6 gb)????? looks like a sweet phone, but i still wish i understood why the tbolt only shows 2.6 gb? at least htc tells you on this one that it's 4 gb but really only one. anyone know anything about this??? looks like a nicer screen and "slightly" better battery and dual core.....with gingerbread i'd say tmobile has got a NICE device here!!!!!

[Ann154]

The unibody design of the HTC Sensation will restrict the user to the 1520 mAh battery. No extended battery with its humpback cover. (Okay maybe that's a good thing.)

That is if it's shell is designed similarly to the HTC Inspire (AT&T)
