Needless to say it's another glowing review.

Yup. Once you port a number, that's just like canceling whatever contract was tied to that number. You will incur and ETF and such.
Maybe everyone else will get the Samsung Galaxy S first, though... 4" super AMOLED visible in sunlight, etc:

Looks like an Iphone with a better OS... OPPS did I say that?!?! The downside? Samsung is well known for poor support after release. If it doesn't come with 2.2....plan on waiting a lonnnng time.
Well it's glowing... RED!
That it is.
Hopefully HTC will bring out something to AT&T like the EVO. I would be willing to try it. I just don't feel like jumping carriers and going through all that crap. Not for a phone.
Samsung Galaxy is coming to ATT. It has a SUPER AMOLED screen. Means you can see it in sunlight.
Don't hold your breath. AT&T just released the Palm Pre. They are so far behind the rest of the world. Apple must have them tied up from selling any new technology phones other then the iPhone.
Depends. Hit and miss. Some have been great.
The i730 smartphone with its silky smooth protrait slider keyboard was incredible for its time five years or so ago. Well built. Feather-sensitive touchscreen, GPU, 3D stereo sound, 525Mhz overclockable to 720Mhz. Fantastic device. Would be considered bulky these days though.
Their biggest trouble seems to be delivering in time. Everyone was ready to get the Omnia II but it took too long, for example.
Still, during the same time period that Apple was crowing about a million pre-orders for the iPhone 3GS, Samsung had _two_ million preorders for their Jet.
Oh I was drooling for the Omnia 2. I remember waiting and waiting on a 300+ page thread on Verizon's forums. It was a great phone, but in the end, I couldn't wait anymore. They delayed it for 5 months. Actually it was released overseas with windows 6.1 5 months before being released here. I was pissed.

Anyway, the screen is BEAUTIFUL on this Galaxy Super Amoled. Quite stunning how deep and vivid the colors are. Something I dd notice was some lag in between screens. If you like the iPhone style, their application panel looks like a straight rip off of the iPhone.
I think it's a phone to watch for sure. It's coming to T-Mobile and AT&t.

Why isn't there a GSM version based on the EVO? (I know its sprint exclusive)
I could live with the lack of 4g speeds for a screen of that size.

Yeah, being a Sprint exclusive makes the resale value all that lower.
Edit: This has to be the best presentation I have ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlrgkTDYhj8&feature=related

that engadget review makes it all the worse. such an awesome looking phone that we'll never get in the UK. hopefully they'll make something similar for the european market.

Don't worry, it will come. Incredible is variant of Desire. Droid Eris/Sprint Hero is variant of European Hero. Only a matter of time before a GSM EVO is released.
