So, anyone know if Verizon will be getting a tablet/phone hybrid any time soon? I’d love to have a tablet to replace my phone, since I use the text/data capabilities much more than the phone call features. ---

You’d look pretty dumb holding a 10" tablet up to your head to make phone calls. ---

I find it really ironic that ~10 years ago we went through a period of doing everything we could to shrink phones. Now people want 10" tablets to make a phone call on lol. ---

Probably september from what I’m reading for the BIONIC. I’m hoping it’s baller as shit, if not the Galaxy II S is a nice substitute or the HTC Vigor with a dual 1.6 GHz processor and 720p display. ---

Took the captivate forever just to get froyo. They’ll prob release Gingerbread just as everyone else is getting the next one. ---

Samsung learned from their mistake on that big time. Their tablet line-up has been getting all the latest updates before any other company. Charge Gingerbread builds have leaked out already. Can’t imagine it will be long before that goes live. Besides, none of that matters when you’re running community developed ROMs. Samsung actually shipped a galaxy s ii to the developers of cyanogenmod. That makes me PLENTY happy since Cyanogenmod is always very fast to release the latest android versions. I’ve been on gingerbread for so long that I don’t even remember froyo at all. ---
