Samsung Galaxy S isn't out globally. If so, please tell me where it's been released. Also, please show me where a true comparison, ppi has been made. If it's out, that should have happened already. If it hasn't, I'm willing to locate one if I can source it, do the comparison myself.

not sure if they will honor it but expansys are usually good for their word.
The ppi is rather trivial to calculate for the display. you have the size and you have the resolution.

I disagree on the pixel density being trivial. Until just recently, the N8x0 screens were absolutely destroying everything else out there due to pixel density and ability to show a certain amount of pixels - 800x480 w/ 225ppi - in a 4.13" screen.
The pixel density is rather important, to explain not only the resolution, but how accurately the picture will be in that display. Also, as a designer, ppi is useful to me for calibrating the monitor... but that's neither here nor there.
Pertaining Expansys, two different calls, two different answers. One said it's in stock, but in Europe. They'll fly it over, then ship it. Another said they had it in stock, but couldn't 100% confirm.
Pixel density lends itself well to clarity. And to be honest, that's what the iPhone 4 screen has... tons o' clarity.
Just too bad it's showing a clear picture of only the stuff that locks you down further to the closed iTunes ecosystem.

not sure if this is all that important if you are not interested in the phone.
the other rep may be refering to the 16GB version.

Yeah. I think you misunderstood. I'm on the phone with them now... but to be honest...
as I had stated before, I want to walk into a brick and mortar store and see it, hold it, then make my decision/comparison. I absolutely hate buying blind off the internet. And I'm getting the same answer, and not about the 16gb version. But I'm interested in only comparing. Which, will end up going back to their stock.
I did however find a part for my OQO 01+ though.
Regardless... I get what you meant by the ppi, but at the same time, it's not indicative of perceived clarity.

What is the resolution of the Galaxy? Can't seem to find any mention of it in the article.
As far as nutty ppi goes, I've had a toshiba winmo device with 800x480 at 3.0". Of course the rendering engine and all around software was shite, so it's like having a super clear window to look at a dumpster.

Yeah, I just did the calc and apparently I underestimated how high the iPhone 4's ppi is.
The toshiba's 800x480 at 3" was just annoying because the screen's super small, even with a pointy stylus.

iPhone 4 - 326ppi
iPhone 3GS - 163ppi
Nokia N900 - 267ppi
Nokia N810 - 225ppi
Google Nexus One - 252ppi
Samsung Galaxy S - ~202ppi
What I'm going for is that the ppi is lower than the N810 for the Samsung Galaxy S. It doesn't mean that it's not a pretty display, not at all. But I think by now, what's going around and around is the fact perceived clarity is up to the eye(s) of the beholder.
What was misunderstood is that I really don't want to buy any phone before touching it. I never have liked it and have done that only with my Nokia N810. Nothing before, nothing after.
