Wait like a month or two and get the Galaxy S II

my eyes were opened.. never even heard of it.

based on what I've read, it has all the best attributes.. dual core processor, 4g (IIRC), smooth screen, latest software upgrade (gingerbread), etc..

I wanted the X2, but when I read about the issues with camera and a few issues with the touch screen..

this is now what I'm waiting for.. especially if it comes with 4g.

IDk about the Galaxy S II that smoots is pimping, but I played with the Thunderbolt and Charge at the Verizon store the other day, with 4G on and they are impressive. I don't care for the Charge's overall shape, but it really doesn't matter that much.

it's pretty much a Thunderbolt, but much more fine tuned.. Thunderbolt's only benefit is 4g.

excellent...will it be 4G?

With everything else that it has (that I just read) I can't imagine that it won't be 4g. Looks really nice.

Also, the original Galaxy S was 4G in Europe, but was software-locked to 3G in the US. Could be the same deal with the Galaxy S II, but again, Samsung isn't saying poo.

The good news is that Samsung probably won't change the modem hardware on the US versions (They didn't with the first one) so HSPA will be unlockable. Not sure about LTE. Verizon users might be SOL if Verizon decides to make the Galaxy S a 3G phone.

ATT literally has no reason not to do it (HSPA is backwards compatible with GSM), but that doesn't mean they will.

Verizon, on the other hand, is in a predicament. LTE isn't backwards compatible with CDMA (their 4G phones have sim cards in them now, if you look), which is why you see phones like the Droid X 2 coming out with only 3G support. Verizon simply doesn't have as much 4G coverage as they do 3G.

Maybe with the Droid X 2 being 3G, it opens the way for the Galaxy S II to be 4G. But it's completely possible that it won't. The Galaxy S was a huge seller on every carrier, and the Galaxy S II looks to be even better. There's no reason to limit your sales when a certain % of your subscribers can't get a 4G signal.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
