Samsung VIBRANT aka "Galaxy S," Coming to T-Mobile US on July 21st

Well you can do what i suggested but only when you have a sale going on when you might buy 1 phone and get the other 1 free and for that you will have to wait a little while after the phone comes out, thats a good alternative if you want to keep the tzones at the same time.

My understanding is TZones is no longer offered so if you were to add plan, then cancel how would you get the TZones back?

Galaxy S passes through FCC, making its way to T-Mobile !?!

This phone looks good, I am happy T-Mobile is getting it.

That said, I don't think I will upgrade from Nexus One. I like having the camera flash, I still can't believe Samsung left this off, especially when the Behold II had it...that seems like a downgrade?

well what others have done is not to add a line to your own contract, but to open a separate account, you might not be able to do that since they will have your social no. so you might open a new account in your wife or some other family members name.

This is what ppl. with tzones did when the hd2 cameout on launch day when you were getting 2 hd2 for $200.

Opened a new account got the hd2 on subsidized price after 14 days they cancelled the account paying the tmobile $200 cancellation fee and kept the hd2 phone, then they put the tzones sim in the hd2 and started using tzones internet on hd2. That way alot of ppl. ended up with a new hd2 for only $300 a piece and used it with tzones.

On the 19th of July it is said that ALL TOMOBILE PHONES WILL BE FREE ON A 2YR CONTRACT.
So i am sure many more ppl. will do the same.

If you want a new smartphone and dont want to loose the toznes, this is your way out, but remember you can never call customer service telling them your using tzones on a new smartphone.
Other option you have is to buy one on craiglist which is not always the safest route.

There is nothing dishonest about what i suggest, there is a system and your using it to your advantage, which is exactly what these multinational companies also do and make tons of money

Check the MSRP on the phone 1st, may be cheaper than hardware (~$200) + activation fee ($35) + monthy service used (>$30) + ETF ($200)

you definitely havn't read my previous post, i am talking about getting it when there is sale going on e.g. memorial day, fathers day , thanksgiving etc.

If rumors are true every tmobile phone will be free on fathers day at that time you wont have to pay the $200 for the phone.

Another example i can give you is of a few days ago when hd2 was offer by tmobile for $99.
http://pocketnow.com/deals/t-mobile-...com-today-only

So now the MSRP comes down to $0 for and cancellation is $200 activation is $35 with one month usage $30= 265

The above is an example, if you want the best of both worlds like lowly priced smartphone + tzones this is the safest route, otherwise you can get it on craiglist.

Well, AT&T announced today they are getting it

That makes me question if TMobile will have really aggressive pricing on this which is kind of what I had anticipated for them to try and counter the iPhone. If this thing launches for $200 it will be in direct contest with iPhone 4. Only way I can see this being a win for T Mobile is if its free with new account.

I hope att dont ruin it like the moto android versions.

Anyways this is good new to see early in the morning, thanks

The AT&T version is ugly and it looks like a toy phone.

Anyway, I'm sure some of us here has come in contact with a Samsung phone one time or another and I'm sure a general consensus with of their phones is that the reception SUCKS with all of them. Well, I was reading up on the Galaxy S and I came across this reassuring bit of information.

Samsung's Smart Phone 'Galaxy S' With Superb Reception: Samsung Electronics
Samsung Electronics says its new smartphone 'Galaxy S' can better connect a user to the world compared with other competitors.
The world's second-largest handset maker claims the Galaxy S showed 20 percent greater success rate of transmission and reception than any other smartphone out on market when they were tested in mountainous and major commercial areas.
The new Samsung smartphone's self-location ability using Wi-Fi is said to have been five times more accurate compared to that of other models.

Better hold true for AWS cell bands. I don't know about you guiz but I'm ordering one of these puppies the day it launches on T-Mobile. I'm just itching and scratching for an official announcement with press release pitchers for mah CLIQ so it can be jellyous

A promo like this probably won't appear until holidays or maybe back to school time. Your logic is great for a phone like the HD2 or mytouch 2. By that time the MyTouch III will come out with far better specs and android 2.3....

I don't know why T-Mobile hasn't already dropped a big hint with this. T-Mobile has no high-end phone, and this should have already been released before iphone 4.....

[Baldilocks]

T-Mobile has the HD2.....I would consider that a high end phone.

But they need a high end (1ghz) android based phone. The HD2 is dead as soon as windows 7 hits (XDA cooked ROMs aside)
