Best Buy Buyers Guide - September Cover Coming Soon

[mackeydesigns]

Sorry guys, I got caught up with life and work. It happens.

I can still scan it if you really want to see it, but it's pretty pointless now that its up on their site.

They did the same thing with the Inc. and it was out shortly after. I would expect it to be out in September, doesn't make sense for BB to put in their book for September if it's not coming out then (even if it does say coming soon).

Just my 2

Samsung has been advertising all four US Galaxy S versions for some time and an ad for the entire Galaxy S line just doesn't seem to have the same impact as an ad for just the Fascinate. I'm starting to think that with some of the more recent ads Samsung may actually be trying to put some pressure on Verizon.

thread is no longer valid as new screenshots show a 6th or 9th release for the phone, possibly 12th.

Eh, if you want it to. But inventory stock images with internal release date screen caps are more evidence than a scanned piece of paper that says coming soon.

LOL

Is it just me, or is the AT&T variant the only one that actually looks any good? I got the chance to handle all three models, except Verizon's (finally!) and the AT&T one really looks and feels a lot "better" than the others. It just looks less "iPhoney" and less like a toy, and more like an imposing and impressive wireless device that means serious business and solid tech.

I've only seen video's of Verizon's but it sadly looks more rounded and "wimpy" than the sharp looks of the Captivate. Won't know until we can get it in our hands for sure, but I just wanted to know your thoughts on the looks of the ones that are out at least ...

From pictures, the Vibrant looks the best, then the Fascinate. The Captivate actually looks the worst to me. I actually have a Vibrant on hand, I ordered one to play with for a grace period (which is up, hope wirefly doesn't notice!) and I like the look a lot. Since the Fascinate is very similar, I'm anxious to get the Fascinate and get rid of my Dinc.

I think the captivate looks the worst. I personally think Vibrant is the nicest looking one, then fascinate, then epic4g then captivate

I agree the captivate looks weird IMO I like how they made the vibrant and fascinate look

I think they did that to set the AT&T version apart from the others. Although I do agree that it does look a little weird. I mean there is basically no way to tell the Vibrant and the Fascinate apart unless you look at the company label on the top of the front of the phone.

I just hope I don't get a lot of people asking me if it is an iPhone that I am using. Although I could take advantage of it and be like "Hell no. This is something much better than that P.O.S. iPhone."

Since I used the iPhone 3G for over a year and a half, this will probably be no different. Actually, the Vibrant is actually lighter than the iPhone 3G by almost an ounce. So I am assuming the Fascinate should be lighter as well.

I have had the Droid X for a few weeks now and there is such a big difference between my iPhone 3G and the Droid X

I've actually handled the Vibrant, and it really does look a lot like a big iPhone. With a bigger, brighter screen of course.

Good point though!

No physical keyboard?

The only Galaxy S phone that has a physical keyboard is the Epic 4G at Sprint.

I personally love the looks of it. It's lighter and thinner than my Evo, and has an amazing screen. It's going to be my work phone, and I can choose between the AT&T version (blocky, blackberry-looking thing with sharp corners to jab you in the thigh), or the Fascinate, and I'm getting the Fascinate.
