if true, let's all boycott Samsung products. That and only that will hit them where it counts.

Somehow I had a feeling Samsung was gonna pull this BS. Why give something for free when they can charge you? You want 2.2, buy their new phone.....

A leopard doesn't change it's spots. They showed their colors with the Behold 2 fiasco and have been living down to that standard ever since. We consumers will have to wake up and stop being lured by "shiny, new, faster" when a company has shown a non interest in taking care of its existing customers in the past. I steer clear of them when it comes to phones. Not giving them my money is the best way that I can fight back.

Sure, I saw the shiny new Vibrant with its feature rich stats. But I was still reeling from my experience and knew what was behind "the shiny glitz." So when the fanboys gave me a hard time when I and others tried to warn them, I knew that the day would come when unfortunately, they'd see the light. Well, here we are today and we take another look at the leopard. Yep...spots. Caveat Emptor
