Couple things I'd like to point out. I owned the X for 15 days and thought it was awesome. I did eventually return it and kept the Vibrant on Tmobile, so I think I've probably got more experience then that reviewer, and neither of us know the whole deal because the Fascinate isn't even out yet lol..
First his screen review, Sorry but the blue tint thing is incorrect. I picked up 2 Vibrants (one for me, one for my wife). One had the blue screen issue but was quickly replaced without hassle. In person in bright sun the Vibrant was actually more readable then the X, especially if what I was trying to read was against a black background as the Vibrant seems to have quite a bit less glare.
The hotspot thing is lame, seriously.. Who is going to pay extra for that, when there is so many wifi tether options out there?
Having used the camera on both I'd say it's closer to a tie.. MP isn't everything and the Samsung has some pretty cool shooting modes that the X lacks (like beauty
). As for the flash, it makes a great flashlight but sucks for pics at night, the Vibrant takes better night pics to me. No clue how the Fascinate camera will compare since it doeshave a flash.
I'll agree on the storage thing, No idea why Verion gimped it the way they did since the Vibrant and the Captivate both have 16GB of internal storage. Could be worse tho, the Sprint version only has 1GB lol.
Overall I don't think there is a clear winner. They aren't easily compared if you ask me. I'd say spend time with both and then make your choice, that's what I did.
