there are many 2.2 custom roms that are easy to install and better than stock. Nero v3 is a beast :u the hardware with the 2.2 software makes this the shit. screw samsung for dicking us on the updates, but thank the devs at xda who are better anyways :u

That's right, as per Samsung, us Samsung Vibrant owners in the US are NOT getting Froyo 2.2 or any other upgrade on this phone for that matter. After going through about 3 levels of Support/Technical Support, a high-level manager told me that this simply isn't coming. The problem is the integration with the Samsung user interface customizations. Without the update to Froyo, many apps don't work/are simply unavailable. The update exists in other countries, however, Samsung is blocking the IMEI in these phones and preventing an update.

Thin, plasticky, very light, but flimsy feeling and the battery life is absolutely atrocious. This thing is on its way back to T-Mobile.

Only worth it if you're gonna root and put a custom rom. Battery significantly improves afters custom rom and so does speed. Can even be over clocked.
