    Both Ma Bell companies can suck a dick. We must patronize T-mobile and Sprint, or our mobile atmosphere will look like Canada's.

    That's the only knock against this phone. What's with the stateside delays?

    Meh, thought this was the tablet. Still waiting to see what WP7 have coming out this Fall. If they don't get their act together I just might get this and put MIUI on it.

    MIUI is an awesome rom, i prefer CM7 though.
    You know Steve the founder of Cyanogen is now working at Samsung Mobile USA as a software engineer. :)

    Whatever that is, it looks laggy as hell.

    This goes for 600 unlocked. Is it worth it? I hate being locked into contracts.

    Someone must be using an ultraconservative kernel or something on that video then. I've used MIUI on a Galaxy S (Vibrant) for the past two weeks and it is as smooth as butter. As smooth as an iPhone. On a dual core Exynos CPU which is pretty much the speed king today, MIUI should be screaming.

    Huh? Sure it's not your computer? The only part that look a little laggy is the part where he scrolled through the internet to get the themes/skins so that lagginess is due to the loading of the skins/themes.

    I'm sure the Evo3d can hang with it!

    He's hitting icons and its taking time to load. Maybe I'm crazy... but it doesn't look snappy to me.
