I'm going to be up for an upgrade on Sprint soon and was comparing phones to replace my 2 year old Touch Pro 2. Out of the phones out now this is the one I was most excited about. I sampled one in the store last week and it seemed great.

However, now that I've had a chance to read about end user experiences and the chronic poor signal issue I'm content to wait. This phone certainly won't be a serious option until the signal strength issue is fixed (most likely via a radio update.) Of course, the real downer is the nearly year old technology that comprises this phone (1GHz single core, SAMOLED display, no gorilla glass.) The more I wait and the more time that goes by without the software issues being fixed the more content I am to wait for the Galaxy 2. I just can't see being stuck with a single core and 512MB RAM for two years. Who knows whether the Android updates a year from now will still run on that hardware? If Sprint held onto the once per year upgrade path then I'd be tempted. At 2 years, this phone is already too old.
