[Rumor] Samsung Prime to Arrive on Verizon November 3rd

[chaosnyx]

Well from what I was reading the Nexus Prime is going to have a 1.5 - 1.8 gHZ duel core TI CMAP 4460, 5 MP camera :\, 4.-" SA HD 720p ppi~340, 1GB of RAM, 1080p HDVideo Capture, 16GB of internal storage, Android Ice Cream Sandwhich 4.0, NFC Clip and no bloatware.

But that is the "Nexus Prime"... there is a chance that Verizon is getting something different and "Exclusive": Droid Prime/Galaxy Prime/Galaxy Nexus Prime.

What is the NFC clip? Thanks

 

[Trusstopher]

NFC = Near Field Communication, like the ability to pay for gas from your phone, if I understand correctly... now if you already knew that and were asking what the "clip" part is... I'm in the same boat as you haha

My gf got the epic 4g touch this weekend and I am in love with it. I wish this phone would have come to verizon. If the Prime is just like it but better screen and lte, it will be my dream phone and I can finally pull the plug on my 2 year old droid and destroy it and piss on it and bury it for pissing me off lately. It's slowing down and freezing and hanging more and more lately. I actually like the UI on the epic 4g touch but give me that or vanilla android and I will be happy!

It's a Samsung Prime. There is nothing Vanilla or Nexus about it. Expect good hardware, crappy build quality, crappy bloat filled software, good camera, touchcrap, battery drain, and more.

Do you have a source? When you say "crappy build quality", do you have any comment on the metal frame?

Check butt for his source.

Nope, that's what I was looking for!

Sorry. Its just conjecture from me now. I am basing my opinions on having owned a Fascinate, my friend having a Captivate and my cousin having the Charge. All very poor build quality, they scratch like they are made of butter...and good luck if you drop one on the ground from a short distance even with a case.

But my opinion is also based in not having faith in Samsung after the owning a Verizon Samsung device myself. Hopefully the new batch of Verizon Samsungs live up to the European versions.

And I can almost guarantee that Verizons version will not be Vanilla as they were the only carrier to pass on the first 2 vanilla nexus devices. Also they make a lot of money selling bloatware space onto phones, including their vcast garbage. IMO the next Samsung phones we see on Verizon will be Verizons version of the Epic and the Charge 2.

If this turns out to be the case, I will be very ticked off. I would like to have the choice of a pure Android phone on Verizon, rather than one that is overlaid with something else and full of bloatware.

I love my DINC, but I'm considering rooting it to eliminate some of the preloaded "extras" that it came with.

From what I understand you set up your debit/credit card so you "swipe" your phone instead getting out the card or what not.

MIUI ROM FTW

When this phone drops, another "must have" phone will come around the corner....

The Vigor Unless that sticks to its rumored Oct. date.

 

[Stelv]

Yea I am thinking the Vigor will be the one to get for people looking for a phone. For me my Inc2 will last me for a good while.

I have had 2 fascinates and a charge. No scratches on any of them. Dropped them a lot, they all still work. There was a problem with froyo update on fascinate, missed calls and text. Supposedly a problem with the froyo update. Got a charge out it and another update fixed the problem on fascinate. They may have poor "build quality", but all 3 of mine worked flawlessly.
