(Canada) Returned the second one also. Phone locks up shuts down and cannot be turned on. Have to remove the battery and re-insert or soft restart. Happened once a day for two weeks. Great phone...when it's on. If Samsung can figure this issue out along with the GPS issue it would be a superb phone.
Pro's
Brilliant screen
Excellent software
Plastic backing but sturdy
Front glass very strong
Good call quality
FM radio on some models
Front camera on some models
Cons
Frequent freezes (phone goes unresponsive, needs re-start)
GPS issues
No flash for camera
Battery life - average

i have had this phone for a few days now and i'm enjoying it alot! i haven't even hit the core of what this phone can do so i can't wait for that. the phone is a bit big, but i'm sure no one was complaining about the size of the iphone 3g, were you? the build is just fine and durable enough and there it will be flash enabled with the froyo update (i'm in canada and it's not out yet). every phone has it's positive and negative feedbacks and opinions from individuals. just break it down into what is important in the end. for example, this phone does not have flash. but it's not suppose to be SLR type quality anyway. i have a digital cam and that's what i would use for better pics. this phone is sick and i would so recommend it. trust me, i was bouncing between the iphone and galaxy S with my research. i'm even surprised that i chose the galaxy S that i posted it on facebook...haha. anyway, it's actually nice to go against the trend. i usually follow the trend. by the way, rumours abound the iphone 4Gs is supposedly to come out next july 2011. just great! more money to give to apple. sucks! try this phone out, it AWESOME! later!

T-Mobile’s best all-around Android phone has been the Motorola Cliq XT. It has the same 5-megapixel camera as the Vibrant, only with a flash. But it’s slower for surfing and loading apps than the Vibrant, it has just a HVGA video recorder, a smaller QWERTY, less memory, and a screen nearly an inch smaller. But it’s also $70 less than the Vibrant. If you can afford it (and don’t take many indoor pictures), the Vibrant is definitely worth the extra dough. I post some tricks at http://www.samsungvibrantforum.com to help vibrant users.

With a phone this good, why the hell didn't they bother putting a dual-LED flash for the camera? :|

I am using a Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile)The battery is pathetic. I barely manage 24 hours with 6 hours of tak-time and no internet usage at all. Plus it takes 4 -5 hours to get fully charged.
Can any user let me know as to the exact talk time achieved and a throw some light on the battery usage status and the charging time?
Is it because of the different processor Samsung put in as compared to Captivate, i9000 (Galaxy S) and Fascinate?

The Vibrant is the same as another device. Some will love and some will hate it.
Just because someone doesn't agree with my opinions doesn't mean that they are wrong.

I had my Vibrant for 2 months and all of a sudden the screen went BLACK! I could not turn it off nor could I use the phone. Called TMobile and they are shipping me a new phone.

I have had this phone about a week now, and all i can say is WOW. I work for a remote tech company, and it by far is the best phone in the building. The tech's i work with are all impressed by the handset, and a few are going to upgrade. It's true that not having a flash capability out of the box sucks (i really want to hit kongregate.com), but it is "supposed" to receive the 2.2 with flash integrated in Sept., that is if Samsung actually releases the update. Behold II is all I have to say :( The not having a flash on the camera is fine with me though, it takes great low-light pictures and the resolution is great. Im looking forward to taking the phone to cedar point and playing with the camcorder. Overall, it is an amazing phone.... it has some flaws, but then again what phone can you find that doesn't. For the money it was a great buy.

Okay I think some people need to get serious when making opinions because there a some people who are actually looking for a phone with honest reviews.What i'm seeing with the few comments is posters trying to be funny and saying this phone sucks, I know people who have this phone and know people who dont and this phone is a real good phone I would say easily number 1 or 2 of all phones in the U.S. in software more realiable than the motorola droids and more media freindly than the HTC phones.Come on guys this phone is a great phone get off your iphone and step into reality.
