@cosine83 - From what I've ready in the early reports on the way that WiMAX works, it is inserted in to stacks similarly to WiFi controls. Inserting this into an OS in that matter could be ultra simple and would not lock the CDMA/EVDO radio the way that 1.5 does. We'll see if Sprint gets it perfect on the first try, but I'm betting it won't be perfect.
@IOWA - I know that they have a keyboard driven "Moment" looking device that is running the hummingbird, but I don't know if it's a Moment successor or a continuation of the "Galaxy" line that might replace the Omnia?
@Everyone about abuse - Ok, look the Moment has more issues than you can shake a stick at. Radio locks up, poor battery life, incompatible software, etc... Many people blame Samsung, some blame Sprint, some blame the salesperson - it doesn't matter, it has some serious performance flaws. If we didn't put the phone through a tough test before the 30 days was up, we got stuck with something a bit bumpier than many smartphones.
We all get pissed when our new "baby" won't do everything we want it to - but the best part is - everyone is already waiting for the 'next gen' stuff and by that point - 1.2 to 1.5 Snapdragons will be in phones, we'll see a gig of RAM in the devices, and Android 2.5/3.0 will be in testing... We're never going to be 'happy' with a device and we will always blame the manufacturer of the device for that. It's why forums like this exist.
Just my 2 cents...
And just a question, who started the leak that the Galaxy is coming in CDMA form? I haven't seen anything from Samsung directly saying that it's coming in anything but GSM form. This analyst they quote said that the carriers weren't impressed enough with the phone to sign an exclusive? Sounds like a bad device to me. Verizon will continue to carry a Samsung flagship under the Omnia header as the i910 is still their best selling smartphone ever. Sprint has the Moment (will the Galaxy launch as the Moment 2?) AT&T doesn't care since it's not the iPhone and T-Mo is so in-bed with HTC it's not even funny...?
