Over at the T-Mobile community forums, they’ve posted an early FAQ to answer some of the technical information we’ve been wanting to know ever since they announced the device.
Hardware
- The Vibrant offers a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor which is optimized for superior media viewing and game play.
- The Vibrant has a 4.0-inch Super AMOLED touch screen display that gives you a bright, vivid viewing experience.
- The Vibrant benefits from enhanced speeds with T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network, but it’s not an HSPA+ device.
- The Vibrant is one of the slimmest smartphones on the market. The dimensions are 122.42 mm x 64.51 mm x 9.09 mm ; weighs 117.93 g.
- The Vibrant’s 5 MP camera is equipped with digital zoom and autofocus. Comes with an HD video recorder too!
Entertainment/Apps
- The Vibrant is ideal for consumers who are entertainment enthusiasts and want to combine entertainment and communication in one device. The Vibrant offers a ton of entertainment options. We’ll have more to share on this front when the countdown reaches zero.
Software/OS
- The Samsung Vibrant is powered by Android 2.1 software.
- The Vibrant supports personal and corp. e-mail, including MS Exchange, Gmail and most other POP3 and IMAP e-mail services.
Some interesting specs here. By comparison, the Nexus One is 11.5 mm deep, so the Vibrant is going to feel noticeably slimmer. Connection types aren’t mentioned, but if it’s capable of HD video, a HDMI output is possible. Looking at the picture of the phone, we can see it’s going to have a whopping 7 home screens as well as a custom UI.
So what do you guys think? The specs look good, but I’m not keen on custom UIs.

The Vibrant looks great. I haven’t had a chance to check out the side by side screen comparisons with the iPhone4, but I’d still pick this over the iPhone. I love my Nexus One too much to ever leave the Android family. It’s also awesome to see T-mobile building up a strong line up of phones. Now if only they could increase coverage and hurry that HSPA+ roll out.
