I payed $350 for this phone back in late August. Every time I hold this phone in my hand i have a strong urge to bash it against something. I won't even mention foryo, yes it would be nice but I don't mind 2.1. I have AT&T.. I called t-mobile, who told me to call Samsung, who told me to call t-mobile or AT&T. Obviously at&t won't do shit, and i've been told to basically "f off" by both t-mobile and samsung.
Problems with the phone? LAG. LAGGGGGGG. LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Can't slide the button to answer calls, something simple as turning on the phone and going to my phone book takes forever, CAN'T ANSWER CALLS, apps lag, everything lags basically. Apart from the lag the phone very often completely freezes and i have to do a battery pull. Frequently texting glitches and my text gets sent to someone else who i wasn't talking to(can someone confirm if this is a Vibrant glitch or Android glitch?)
What are my options? How can i get a new phone? I hardly have any apps on my phone so excess amounts of apps isn't causing the lag. I called Samsung and they told me all they can do is a master reset, which i've done, twice. Samsung doesn't even offer a manufacturers warranty on their products? This will be the LAST time i buy a samsung phone. It's quite obvious(crystal clear from the Vibrant 4g) that the only way to receive support and upgrades to your current samsung product is to purchase a new model completely. Even apple have the decency to wait a year before making your current model deflate in value and outdated. It's only been what, 6 and a half months, since the Vibrant was released? Why couldn't they have added the FFC and 4g from the start? What's next, an "upgraded" Vibrant 4G with flash? Samsung gives me a new appreciation for Apple.
As much as i want the Infuse 4G, I'll never buy another Samsung phone again, EVER. Hopefully another 4.5 inch+ GSM phone hits the market soon.
Now that the damn iPhone went to verzion hopefully finally AT&T will start rolling out real smart phones. At&t built their company on the iPhone and as someone who've been with them for 8+ years i'm glad it's finally going to verzion. Maybe now at&t will start putting out decent smart phones, which their set for in the coming months! IMO the only decent Android they have currently is the captivate. Due to that being my ONLY option with at&t, I went for the imo, sleeker Vibrant.
I realize this post is a unorganized mess. I need to vent my frustration somewhere lol.
The matter at hand;
Helping me get my vibrant replaced somehow. If anyone who doesn't have t-mobile or purchased the phone off Craigslist manged to get this done, please help me out.
