"Nothing short of Amazing."

"Nothing short of Amazing."

Being one of the most anticipated devices of the year I was very excited to get it and I wasn't wrong, this phone is amazing but its not really for any of you coming from a dual-core phone, I mean I'm coming from a G2x and performance in doing some simple tasks as launching games and opening apps is mostly the same with a 1 second difference but that's really with a rooted phone. Its a great device and the plastic construction is blown out of proportion it feels nice in the hand and has great ergonomics but adjusting to such a large screen is still a difficult task, typing in landscape or landscape use is kinda a pain as well with the rounded corners you accidentally press the menu key time to time. However that's really all I've got against the device. The screen is great but I guess I was spoiled by the colors of my G2x's IPS display, the Super AMOLED is nothing to shake your head at on this device and pentile is only noticeable if you go picking at it, for the normal consumer or someone with bad eyesight.. they'll be just fine; it could also be just a tad brighter.. and not to mention the sun brings this display to its knees. Battery life is supposed to be great but I'm not sure if I can vouch for it, I normally flip my phone into 2G when I don't need to use data for intensive tasks (so basically I let it do refreshes in the background only) but looks like this option is gone on this device, maybe its T-Mobile - maybe its Samsung, who knows, either way this device performs admirably on the battery life department I suppose, it can pull about 10 hours of heavy usage and 3 hours screen on time, while when you have it sit idle it loses about 2% an hour.. which really isn't too bad considering I have syncing on and 4G data enabled.

All together the device is awesome but unless you're coming from some disaster device you'll be okay, or if you have the XDA community behind your device ;)
