  • can you delete the custom words from swype?

  • love this phone :)

  • I have a question. I have had my vibrant for three months and recently I wanted to watch Avatar. When I clicked on the icon it says,"no data found". Can anyone tell me how to fix this so Avatar will be on the phone again. I don't want to download a torrent by the way.

  • @TrueGuidance222 Your best bet might be to take it to a T-Mobile store and ask you question there. I have the same question about the Vibrant's successor, the Galaxy S 4G. It supposedly has the movie "Inception," but I get the same error.

    The move might have been on the original SD card. If you removed or formatted the original SD card, you may have wiped out the movie.

  • @wirefly One last question. Do you know when they are going to release the 2.3 update for the samsung vibrant 3g?

  • @TrueGuidance222 No, I don't know when Android 2.3 will be available for the Vibrant. I just read on a blog today that there is no date for that upgrade.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • ok ummm I'll take a cheese burger a hotdog and hamburger with 5 MEGA PICKLES !!!!

  • I have this phone and it does not lag or freeze the battery life is AMAZING!! lasting me for a whole 2-3 days the screen is absolutely beautiful even with full brightness off I love it!!

  • I have this phone And i hate it it freezes it lags and keeps deleting my contacs it suxs for real man i dont recomend it

  • Chcę sobie taki kupic ale nie mam pojęcia ile on kosztuje ;/ ? 

  • do you need to have internet in order to maake a call work or something ? It's because I want this phone but I don't want it with internet.

  • @j4avril1 The Samsung Vibrant, and any Android phone, requires a data plan. T-Mobile will not activate it without a data plan, and that will include Internet.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @j4avril1 If you buy it without a tmobile contract or from their store you don't have to have a data plan. I bought my phone from someone else on the internet and tmobile does not charge me anything. I use wifi and can make calls.

  • he said mega pickles. props! 

  • when i plug in my wall charger it gives me 3options, Samsung kies, mass media, & mass storage.. what do i choose to charge properly?

  • @301145gto The best option would be "Charge only," but you're not getting that. Select "mass storage." That should be fine. You may be using a charger or cable that is not made by Samsung, and there is a slight wiring difference from the genuine Samsung charger/cable. It won't damage anything, but it gives you this odd message.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly I am getting that to. I chose mass media and it said then "Connect USB Storage" so do I click that or just hit the arrow back key when it comes up. I usually just hit the back arrow key when these choices come up, is that OK or will it hurt my phone?

    Oh and one more question, when I pull the cable out of the charging port do I need to eject it or something. I'm talking about a charger thats plugged into the wall to clarify it more.

  • @TrueGuidance222 What you're doing is fine and won't hurt the phone. Just select the back arrow when the choice comes up, and you don't have to worry about "ejecting" the phone when you use a charger. Are you using the charger that came with the phone?

    Bob at Wirefly

  • i may go from loving blackberries to loving androids 0.o

    torn between phones

  • damn i want this phone.. does any1 know if this phone is coming to Indonesia and if it is when?

  • 5 mega pickles? YES! I'VE WAITED SO LONG!

  • Do you have any problems with it??

  • mine dose not lag.

    

  • why is your laggy? mine does not lagg at all.

  • @Gamers445 is it laggy im getting this i like 2 days?

  • The review is good but the phone sucks! It is laggy and not very fast when it comes to browsing web pages. I would rather have an iPhone because it's fast and no lag at all as well as an a4 chip

  • @XXXCompAssesXXX the apple a4 chip is made by samsung. its a 1ghz hummingbird processor just like the vibrant.

  • a bit laggy

  • Five megapickles! :D

  • Best phone ever!!!!!!!

  • arent you the dud from the unlockr dot com?

  • @paulgnc24 The guy who recorded that video for Wirefly was Ari, and he moved on to a different job in August 2010. I don't know if he had any involvement with unlockr dot com.

    As for me, I honestly don't feel like a dud. And I have never had any involvement wtih unlockr dot com.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly what happened to Ari? Im not trying to upset anyone, cuz i Really think Bob is a fantastic reviewer but im just curious?

    

  • @eminemd12fan1 Ari wanted to move to a different city, so he found a job there and left Wirefly. He is missed, and he did some great work that I hope to live up to someday.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • 5 mega pickles <3 im dieing !

  • @keeeenyy 8 pickles !!!1!11!1!11111111!!!!11

  • do you need to have internet for this phone to be on and working? like for texting and calling? no right?

  • @paandesaal If you buy the Vibrant from Wirefly at the discounted price, you will have to buy an Internet plan. If you already have a Vibrant and do not have a plan, you can turn it on and get to the home screen. You will be able to connect to WiFi for Internet. But you will need a working SIM card to make phone calls.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @paandesaal No, you only need Internet for using the Internet features like Android Market and Browser

  • how long is the battery life?

  • Im getting that phone but prob not from wirefly

  • 2:30  "Five mega-pickles."

  • Can you get that android robot on one of the home screens like on the LG Optimus T or the Motorola Defy?

  • @dcmsfootball71 You get 3 options, Swipe texting, samsung texting, and andriod texting

  • @dcmsfootball71 Well i know on the samsung galexy s 4g you can choose which one. And i'm sure it's the same with this phone.

  • does this phone get good signal wherever you go??

  • @MegaMnguyen whats the diffrence between 2.2 and 2.1? because im thinking of geting this fone or the samsung galaxy 4G

  • Does anyone know if this phone has a little hook on the side of it for cell phone charms?

  • So made it doesnt have a flash >:/

  • you sound like a tour guide lol

  • dammit i dont kno wut phone i want now :(

  • who else realized he said 5 mega pickles

  • @MegaMnguyen I don't know if you can revert back to 2.1 once you have upgraded to 2.2. There's probably a way but I don't know how. We're really enjoying Android 2.2 on the Vibrant here.

    Wirefly

  • 2:30 Snooki from Jersey Shore would get this phone cause she wants those 5 Mega Pickles XD

  • MEGA PICKLES FTW!

  • i hear pixels lol.

  • I love my 5 mega pickles :D

  • amazing... that's a smart phone... quite expensive though.. :|

  • at 2:31 he say's "5 megapickles"

  • Questions - (1) can you tap from contacts list directly to turn-by-turn GPS? (2) can you do coverflow with the Android music player? (3) can you do hands-free voice command via Bluetooth? (4) can you play embedded flash videos? Nokia N8 can do all above. I am trying to decide between Vibrant and N8.

  • HAHAHA 5 MEGA PICKLES !!!!!!

  • i like how you put all of the contacts in your phones number on here

    pause at 03:30

    not very smart dude. im sure "Aaron Clark" wouldnt appreciate that..

    just sayin

  • Did you say pickles 2:30 ?

  • i trade my 3g slide & im gonna get this in this week i hope they tell me the true in work better then the slide 3g

  • is this phone out in the UK because I want one..and of its out in the UK how much is it?

  • @mogulove24 The model in this video is the US version of the Samsung Vibrant. There may be a model sold in the UK by that name, but it is almost certainly somewhat different.

    Wirefly

  • @wirefly no there is the actual Samsung Galaxy S i9000 this has 4g and a front facing camera but depends on carrier

  • @mogulove24 It's called the Samsung Galaxy S in the UK. You can get it from phones 4u on contract or a no sim version from argos for £480

  • omg did he just say "5 mega pickles" at 2:32

  • OMFG I WANT THIS PHONE!!! IT JUST COST SO MUCH UGHH!!!

  • @011495lr Swapping SIM cards like that will work, but the carrier (T-Mobile) will start charging you for data at the highest rate. It's best for you to go to T-Mobile and buy a data plan so that you will not be surprised with a $500 bill.

    Good luck!

    Wirefly

  • does samsung vibrant have aim/msn/yahoo?

  • whtat phone would you say is better my touch slide or the vibrant??

  • does this phone have hotspot capabilities?

  • @011495lr Yes and no. The Vibrant is "locked" to T-Mobile, so it will only work with a T-Mobile SIM. It is possible to buy an "unlocked" version for a lot more money, which will let it work with AT&T's EDGE (2G) network in the US. EDGE data speeds are much slower than T-Mobile's 3G network, so browsing the Web will be sluggish. You can still make phone calls, however.

    Wirefly

  • this phone is too nice. and it comes with sims 3 :) looooooove it :)

  • i have this phone i got it because i didnt like the first phone i got from tmobile which was the lg optimus t i cant wait untill it gets the upgrade for the 2.2 android

  • can you like make the screen less or more brighter

  • @imapetifile Yes, you can adjust the brightness.

  • Does the sims 3 and the Facebook and twitter widget use up your 200MB data plan with tmobile?

  • How much is it without contract

  • @elohel81592 Without a contract, the Samsung Vibrant costs $579.99 on Wirefly.

    Wirefly

  • SO AWESOME! Gonna get this phone this February 2011! :DD

  • 2:31 5 megapickles

  • Hey I was wondering if the samsung vibrant is 3G capable on tmobile because it says on tmobile.com it is but then it says it's on 1G or something like that

  • @JMGxPRODUCTIONS The Vibrant is definitely 3G capable on T-Mobile. It uses T-Mobile's HSPA technology.

    Wirefly

  • is the touch screen activated by heat or pressure?

  • @the3VIL Heat. I've tried using it with objects, and it didn't work.

  • who needs a fat ass phone guide book when you have this video!!thank you :)

  • Good review. Suck it doesn't have flash on the camrea but thats ok. Still pretty nice. Now I'm guessing even if you werent on Wi-Fi you'd still be able to go on the internet obviously from the satellite?

  • Haha, 2:31

  • you spoiled the movie for me :((((((

  • Palm Pre Plus, Samsung Vibrant, and or LG Optimus S???????????

  • hey i have a question ..does the vibrant have a NoLock because i need to lock my phone in any case scenerio..

  • I have a Vibrant, I thought it was the best thing ever when I got it. but now I'm starting to hate it, the Phone is so buggy. The GPS after the update fix, no longer works, When I'm on a call, and receive another, I can not see who's calling, screen stays black until call goes to voicemail, and so many other bugs.

    Google is about to release 2.4 Honeycomb and we have no 2.2 yet. so Samsung and Tmobile really slow on updates. I wish I had waited for Nexus S, at least updates will come out sooner.

  • which is better the tmobiloe my touch 4g or this one? does this one have a 4g network??

  • @Japeria993 this one

  • why are all samsung phones that ive seen now have "galaxy s" written on them??

    isnt galaxy s a diffrent model??

  • @Ninaki13th "Galaxy S" is a series of phones by Samsung. Each of the major carriers has a version of the Galaxy S phone and they're all slightly different. The version on T-Mobile is the Vibrant, then there's the Fascinate (Verizon), Captivate (AT&T) and Epic 4G (Sprint). The Epic 4G is the most different of the series, as it has a slide-out keyboard, front-facing camera and 4G capability. The new Nexus S is a variant of the Galaxy S series.

    Hope that helps!

    Wirefly

  • @wirefly thnx!!

  • @wirefly in europe we only have one version of the galaxy s, only diffrence is that the home button is mechanic and that it has no search button

  • why people don't talk about the bill you have to pay every month

  • lmao mega-pickles hahaha

  • 5 mega pickles 230

  • This phone is much like the Samsung Fascinate. But on this phone when you're switching from screen to screen you can see it kind of lags. As for the Fascinate it's super fast and responsive. This is a good phone,but I prefer the Fascinate

  • Have this phone very good phone

  • If anyone has a behold 2, and has had issues with it: call tmobile and tell them you are having issues and u need a relaible phone and you are NOT HAPPY..they will offer you this phone for an exchange!! lol They just did that for me! I hate the behold 2! It has like 8 hours of stand by time! it sucks! Sooo glad TMOBILE offered me this phone for no additional charge!!

  • damn 5 mega pickles . thats a lot lol

  • 5 mega pickles, lmao.

  • isnt this the same thing as the samsung captivate for at&t

  • u sound like jon4lakers

  • would you recommend this over the mytouch 3g slide? want to get a new phone but cant decide between the two......

  • am i the only won hoo heres him say 5 mega pickles lol instead of pixels

  • @77gp If you look through the comments below, about 1 in 5 is about mega-pickles. That's a lot of mega-pickles.

    Wirefly

  • @wirefly Sorry what do you mean i do not understand you >.>

  • @77gp it's like 3 in 5 comments are about mega pickles lol

  • 5 mega pickles? 2:30

  • @MyHauntedExcursions I was ganna comment the same thing XD

  • I need this phone so I can "tap myself" all day!

  • Hey! Currently setting up my plan with T-Mobile (Yes! Getting the Vibrant, super excited!) And I'm not quite sure i fully understand the mobile internet usage. 200MB a month isn't a lot of space. I do about 3-4 facebook check-ins and the occasional Google search while not in a wifi hot spot. Is 200MB going to be enough? Or should I go with the unlimited usage?

    Thanks!

  • do you have to have the date plan for this or can you just get it unlocked and then used like an ordinary phone?

  • Should i get this or the G2

  • Five MegaPickles.

  • 7 people who disliked cant afford this phone.

  • do u have to have internet to use this phone

  • @MaCrzySelf2 i think so but if you dont have internet theres no point in having this phone.

  • @MaCrzySelf2 yes you do its a smartphone 30 dollars extra per month with the plan you choose but if youre getting this then its a great choice cus i love mine its so amzing and the screen is truly wonderful

  • wow i have this phone and i have more widgets on my homescreen and it is so much smoother than yours but i do use launcher pro so maybe thts why

  • i have this phone and i cant figure out if it has face time or not?and if not what is the camera looking thing on the front of the phone in the top left corner?

  • @Xuntouchable03 its the proximity and light ambien sensor no front facing camera i also have this phone

  • I'm about to trade my iphone 3gs for it just because it's been locked for more than a month and i'm tired to use it as an iPod touch. And the vibrant is awesome and worthy

  • Did he say 5 mega pickels At 2:33?

  • I AM GETTING THE PHONE TODAY

  • is the battery life good on this phone?

  • @cockfag41 24 more days and its mine:)

  • Does anyone feel even though this a great review of this phone,that the voice of the person reviewing cuts right through your soul? That is how annoying it is! So sorry to the reviewer,I'm not judging but the whole "megapickles" comment about the camera just nearly made my ears explode in pain!

  • Can anyone tell me what the You Tube vids are like on the Samsung vibrant. Quality wise? I have heard they are crap.I also heard there is a way to get HQ You Tube Vids streamed on the Vibrant? Or are they vids comparable to iPhone 4 by default.I am thinking about getting the Samsung Vibrant. What would anyone recommend

  • @Winterhotsprings You can view YouTube videos in HQ mode on the Vibrant and other Galaxy S phones. Call up the video you want to see. Once it's loaded, touch the menu button, then touch the "More" button. One of the choices you get at that point will be "Watch in High Quality." Touch that and you're good to go.

    Wirefly

  • @wirefly Thanks Guys!!

  • @Winterhotsprings no they are pretty good i love my vibrant to death wouldnt tade it for any other phone

  • Thumbs up if you're a Samsung whore.

  • i have this phone, had it for about 2 months, mine is rooted and tweaked with launcher pro and its a super fast phone but there are just some things on this phone that i cannot stand! first off i hate that it does not run stock vanilla android that is my biggest pet peeve, next is the stupid power button and how its on the side of thephone that is really annoying, GPS is a joke on this phone, still running android 2.1 WTF?? gingerbread is already coming out, battery reading is completely wrong

  • How is the battery life and can you turn off all the clicking sounds?

  • Can't wait till I Gingerbread comes on this phone. It's friggin Amazing

  • I have this phone. Best phone I ever had. The only thing I don't like about this phone, is that if put the phone through heavy use, such playing music all day and watching videos for a significant time with this phone, the battery life isn't so great. However if you use the phone less heavily, then the battery will last you fine.

  • I need this phone thumbs up if you want this phone

  • do you have to pay for the slacker radio or the FM radio?

  • How is the battery life on it?

  • basicly a wanna be iphone

  • @Qapmoc15 not really a wannabe iphone as it does things iphone CANT do.

  • @brianv3ntura Yeah but it copied the little square app thing

  • @Qapmoc15 you can change the app drawer i use launcher pro as my home replacement and i love it my phone is beast

  • does it support mms, or assigned ringtones?

  • i cant wait to get this phone i dont know why people is upset that it dont have flash cuz u can always switch it to night mode if ur somewhere dark and i takes good pictures and videos without flash

  • someone help. can u use the vibrant without the data plan?

  • @UnDErCoVErBoSS44 Yes but it would be about 500 dollars to get the phone without a plan.

  • @TheSarah1213 and you can still get apps and stuff? just not the internet

  • @UnDErCoVErBoSS44 yea u get eveything that comes with the phone just not internet but u can I think use the internet over a wifi network and the market over wifi.

  • @TheSarah1213 do you have it without the data plan? and it works just as fine?
