I played with one yesterday at the store. This device is AMAZING!

the pics do not do it justice. The super AMOLED with the hummingbird CPU makes the evo look DULL! "Vibrant" is the perfect name for this device. It was lightning fast, bright as hell, the UI was actually pretty nice (I thought I'd hate touchwiz).

The LWPs on this thing were fantastic. They had this water one where everywhere you touched it would ripple the water. I mean this phone is just so awesome.

I'd grab this phone over an Evo or an iPhone 4 easily right now. If I get enough time today I may swing by and pick one up, or might have to wait till the weekend. But I straight love this phone. Would highly recommend waiting for an Epic over the Evo. The hummingbird owns the snapdragon, and as sexy as the i4 looks, I would rate this above it for brightness, contrast, android, and 4" sexyness.

seemed really good, although I wasn't really outside extensively with it at all, Budney should be able to tell us since he is getting one today, I'm stuck at work so no Vibrant for me

trust me I was more than tempted. That employee has his eye on me like I was Jessica Alba.

Will be firing it up in a bit, still charging.

But it looks like a iPod Touch, but nicer. Slightly thinner and a bit narrower then the HD2, feel much better in my hand. Feels real solid for being mostly plastic, and is extremely light weight.
