The N900's Best Android Alternative
 
Finally, something that is worth a look. The Sammy Captivate Glide makes the best Android alternative to the N900.
Specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i927...glide-4071.php
Briefly:
Tegra II Dual Core @ 1GHz (overclock-able to 1.8GHz)
1 GB Ram LPDDR2
4" Super AMOLED w/ Gorilla Glass @800x480
1650 mAH Li-Ion Battery
8MP Camera w/ 720p @30fps video capture
Front 1.3MP Camera
Unlocked Bootloader
4 Row QWERTY Keyboard
All other goodies: WiFi, BT, A-GPS, Voice Cancellation, Face Detection...

Wow! I'm glad Samsung still knows the keyboard, it is simply brilliant!

It is frickin' beautiful, lag free, just like any other Nvidia Dual Core device you could imagine. It's Super AMOLED touchscreen is brilliant, I can say it is the best Tegra II device available.

Don't forget the shmexy price as well!

i bought a xperia pro. it may be not be as powerful as glide nor got a better screen but the not so generic design unlike most sammy and the best looking slide-out hardware keyboard w/ android sealed the deal for me. i don't have to worry about the ICS update as it's already included in the list...

Looks good, seems like my next phone too:)

Once there a little cross available on Android to close the apps I am surely gonna buy this.

I was looking at Galaxy Nexus but there aren't many good reviews about it but this looks good, it has h/w kbd another +++

about the glide?

i think that it's at&t who should post an announcement as the phone is exclusively under their line-up. samsung has the right if there's an unlocked/global counterpart like the s and s II...
