That or it's easier to pain plastic white... Or maybe this one will turn yellow after a while, if I am not mistaken that's the biggest problem Apple had.
How about you release one in the US first? I kept postponing my upgrade waiting for this thing to be released here with all sorts of false promises on when it would, and by the time it does (supposedly this month..) it's no longer going to be the cutting edge phone it was.
The politics of carrier subsidies really screws things up.
You can get it subsidies by carriers in Europe, didn't delay it any here... If anything the problem is that you carriers all must have their logos on phones and they'd prefer if every phone they sell are exclusive to them...
How comes this is also listed under "mobile"? Cant you keep the news off of all other pages on AT, and just keep news on the "pipeline" page? It makes it hard sorting through news and actual reviews/articles. It's a bit messy.
I do like you having this kind of news on here though, as Dailytech is a total joke these days, reporting less and less TECH news and becoming more and more bias and political.
I think it's on the to-do list to add filters (i.e. you could only see news or pipeline etc on the selected category). Tags can still be useful as sometimes people may be looking news that are in the pipeline section. Also, "real" articles have pictures on them (pipelines don't) so it's fairly easy to see which are long, thorough pieces.
It is definitely needed though, so thanks for reminding us :-)
And this new pipeline is meant for things like this. Short and quick articles, mainly about new releases and similar stuff. The front page will remain for longer articles with thorough analysis. Before we didn't really have a place for short articles, and Anand still wanted to cover them.
Besides, I didn't see any major sites reporting this, thus the article. If it had already been in the headlines of all the other sites, then I would have skipped.
Will the GPS still be broken like on the original galaxy s? Mine still doesn't work. They promised updates week after launch but cannot fix with updates...
I'm surprised that Google don't release an image for each version of Android, considering they're named after desserts. At the very least, the Android logo or robot.

Way to go... You'll beat that "slavishly copying" accusation yet, Samsung.einsudani - Tuesday, August 16, 2011 - link
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but in reality, they're nothing alike.They don't even look and feel similar side-by-side in your hands.

Maybe with a little photoshop work that'll get fixed lol.http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=22459

Sell your current phone and buy an unlocked one outright. Figure out the coverage/warranty situation first though.Leonick - Tuesday, August 16, 2011 - link

For god's sake, lighten up. Regardless of the tech merits, it's FUNNY.Did you not get the point of daverivera's comment higher up?

I think it's a nice looking phone, actually, and thanks for the heads up!! My dad loves his white Fascinate.I agree that we need to see some SGSII action in the U.S., and SOON.
