Are all the versions about the same? Which one can I get to work on Tmobile in the U.S. right now?
I believe it used regular sims, check engadget's picture gallery.

Who's the company that are shipping it? I've got a random e-mail from DPD telling me they're wanting me to sign for a package tomorrow. It could be something I'd ordered from Amazon but it's not likely. Handtec haven't e-mailed me.
EDIT: It's from Handtec. It's shipped! Woo-hoo! My network doesn't have the troublesome band issue but I'll be testing nevertheless. I'm quite glad I got shipped before they put the orders on hold!
they let you release them if you want it to which i did, but i got no email today
you'd think there would be some kind of automated process for this... they seem like a decent size shop that would have a shipping system. And like i said, i have an 11:45 plane to catch tomorrow. Overnight from Fedex usually arrives to me at 10-1030. Thats pushing it for a quick ride to the airport. Wife would kill me

You still gonna risk it Stateside? Is the warranty international? I presume it is. Worst comes to the worst and my handset is faulty I'll get in touch with Samsung UK.
Any SD EXT-partition support?
i doubt there will be any issues as we don't use 900mhz in the US. If there is a big issue it would be a recall and would deal with Samsung directly... but handtec also handles the warranty if i needed to, i just have to ship it to them. By risking it, if i want to return it and get a new one if there is a fix i need to pay the shipping both ways
My one wasn't dispatched by Handtec, and I'm on vodafone. Tempted to just email them right now to cancel my order since I've basically already paid £500 and have no idea when I'll actually have a working phone, or when Samsung actually bother to acknowledge and address the problem.
Maybe in a few days, right now they're just trying to get things working for a stable rom. Check here later in the week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348670
You can always go Casino Royale on your airplane tonight it the weather gets better:
haha, i've consistently left my house 45 minutes before take off to get to the airport and in on time (i live 10 minutes away). It being Thanksgiving, which is a horrendous time to travel, is the only thing that gives me pause.

Can I have a seat next to you?
Rogers is extending the $30 6GB plan to LTE now as well, very tempting.

At this point you might as well wait.
Hell I might skip the nexus to see what CES has to offer.

Might as well skip ALL THE PHONES. Better shit comes out in months.
I think I'll wait just to hear exactly what the proposed solution is for the volume bug. But I sure as hell am not waiting for CES.
I'm very ready to retire the old N1, just need confirmation that the volume bug is getting some sort of a fix before I buy.
Now, if there ends up being a hardware recall and new hardware isn't sent back to vendors until next year, then yeah I guess I'll check out CES.
Does anyone else get redirected to a neogaf Lost thread when checking out that link? I'm on the secondapps page btw.
as is your expectations that this phone will be better than the N1. *sheesh*

Samsung Galaxy SII HD, the one released in Korea in October http://www.techrj.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-hd-lte-in-south-korea/
Basically an SII with the Nexus screen. If it's getting ICS soon as the SII then I think it's the phone to have.

WTF at AMEX not dealing with GBP. Since when? I'll have to put USAA insurance on this phone then instead of just saying fuck it and using my AMEX's free extended warranty. Got dammit.

Lets be honest, the S3 wont be stateside till almost 2013 more than likely, even though itll hit the EU in the Spring. Would be nice though if they just said "fuck it" and shipped the S3 worldwide anyway and got the schedules back on track.

While that is true, you can barely tell the difference unless reviewing smart phones is your life and are obsessed with benchmark scores. That LTE tax AT&T gave the skyrocket is the true worry.
Its going to be really hard to be disappointed with those expectations
Bboy what's this usaa insurance? (I have usaa, what insurance is it?)

Home owner's insurance will cover your phone. I hear it's cheap and no deductible, either. Give 'em a ring. Let me know how it goes.
At least, that's what I hear. I've never used it since I usually do AMEX warranties as I'm careful with my phones.
Gcubed I'm really interested in your impressions as a fellow N1 user making the jump. Will you be able to post some impressions from wherever you are flying?
I thought I've heard it before, way cheaper then phone company insurance. I'll call them after I get it
If it comes tomorrow. Still in the initiated stage from fedex. I'll be in Chicago at my sister in laws new place. She has no TV, internet, etc, so I'll have plenty of time to play around. I fully anticipate a revelation but again as pctx said, not going to be hard to beat the N1 at this point. First thing I'm going to do is open Google maps and rotate the map with two fingers.
IDK. The notification light (and how well is implemented) on this phone makes it a worthy successor to the N1. I'm so used to it by now that I don't think I can buy a phone that does not have it.
I'm expecting a late January - early February release for the GSM model.
