I managed to sell my Samsung Vibrant for $300 tonight on craigslist. It was mint condition. Got it the first day on July 15th and was all excited thinking 2.2 update would come by September.
So many Samsung Vibrants for sale on craigslist. The prices dropped from 400 to around 300 over the past month. There were some selling for 250. It's becoming obvious many people aren't that happy with the phone.
I'm a phone junkie and go through about 3-4 phones a year. I currently own a Bold 9780 and iphone 4. Have Tmobile and ATT service.
It was time to move on. Like many, I am highly disappointed in the lack of software support from Samsung. Too them forever to come out with the minor fix in JI6. Froyo is 3-4 months behind their competitors. I had the original G1 and that phone always got updates first (up to 1.6).
Sure I can root the phone (I have rooted it) but you shouldn't have to root the phone to get the lastest greatest software.
I will just use the $300 cash I got for the Vibrant and apply it towards another phone. I am so tempted to get the Nexus S off contract for $530. But it was 2004 when I last purchased a Samsung phone until 2010 when I purchased the Vibrant. I may never purchase another Samsung phone again after this. Should have listened to all of those Behold 2 owners about Samsung's lack of software updates.
Apple updates all their phones in a timely manner. "official Google phones" also get timely updates (See G1, G2, myTouch, and Verizon's Droid phones).
