Impressive stuff; HTC and (I shudder to admit this) Microsoft have made significant gains with the new builds, and there is a lot of good work going on here to roll those changes into new ROMs. That kind of user community will never exist for the Intrepid and I lack the skills to take things to that level with this device.
With these two devices next to one another, one thing struck me. The two screens are almost exactly the same physical size, maybe 1/8" different. Which means that with a bit of effort, Samsung could have put a VGA screen on the Intrepid. That would have made an amazing difference to me.
It has been a pleasure working on this device and I very much appreciate all the help, comments, and ideas from everyone else here, and of course special thanks to the 11 people that thanked post 1 (and the subsequent posts). Hopefully more than 11 people actually found the info useful, considering the amount of time I devoted to making this phone usable. 
I will continue to maintain a presence here to some extent; I'll help when I can and if anyone finds tips that are useful and you want me to add them to the first page, I will happily do so. Just post here and let me know. Thanks again and good luck with your devices. If Samsung ever does release an update to the Intrepid perhaps they will fix some of the issues we've identified here. |
Ya its crazy how those little annoyances steadily take the fun out of the intrepid
i still say that i love this phone but the issues it has are just too much. I know yo hate the 320x240 Haus, and looking at what blackberry crams into their pda's its tough too rationalize how samsung could miss this one so bad. The screen size gave host to problems with program compatibility as well. I would still be using an intrepid because its so darn light in my pocket and one handed use was incredible but the phone is crippled, bottom line. And i think i thanked your post
