This phone is very nice. The dual screens look great and it operate smoothly.

Since it is a Galaxy S phone, it has very good specs. I'm not sure if the screen is OLED or Super OLED.

And yes... GPS WORKS.

While I don't know for sure, I did read that it's OLED and doesn't come with a 1GHZ processor. Of course that's speculation at this point, but this doesn't seem like it's going to be a very high-end device. And the second screen seems like a desperate attempt to create something different, likely resulting in a mere gimmick.

The second screen actually works very well and looks great.

And I'll have to verify tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it has a 1GHz processor.

This is NOT a low or mid range phone. It is a high end, quality device.

Any updates Snap315 on the processor?

I verified this phone has a 1GHz processor.

I played around with one today (and a Galaxy Tablet also) and also really liked the 2nd screen. Nice to be able to see text/Caller ID's without it knocking me out of what I am doing on the main screen at the time.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the second screen to be rather redundant in functionality (especially when Android already has a notification bar).

No I thought the same thing. I thought maybe the launcher would be moved down to it or something. I am interested to see reviews of this phone.

I believe the resolution of the main screen is also less than that of the Fascinate so the end result is less usable pixels even with two screen. Not certain of this though.

Also, while two screens may be "neat" since this feature isn't officially supported by Goggle in Android which pretty much ensures that the phone will be tied to Samsung / Verizon for updates/support. Unless this new feature really catches on then they will have no motivation to continue to support it with updates.

Gizmodo posted a video of it earlier.

Wow, is no one using this?

It didn't look interesting with the smaller screen.
Most phones have 3.7, 4.0, 4.3 inch screens while this has a 3.4 inch main one?!!? That is less than iPhone.

I bought this phone yesterday. It's my first smartphone, (and of course, first droid phone). So far, I'm frustrated with the bing integration. I haven't figured out how to use the ticker well. The ticker has settings to set up rss feeds and the like to scroll, but I'm not sure how to fully utilize it. Also, the grip sensor is useless if you put a case on it since it's a capacitive sensitive sensor. I have a case on it, but it seems like a weighty phone to me, not cheap feeling when I was carrying it without the case, but it's also not high end either, just ok. I think just the fact that I had to download google maps from the market is retarded and I might return this and get either the droid x or incredible.
