@jason, you fail to provide any evidence of another phone or phone company using that icon. it doesn’t matter if its just one button, it is the fact that only motorola has used that style of button before leading me to believe that the phone they are saying is a samsung, is not a samsung. and no where, NO WHERE, does it say all google experience phones are going to use the same buttons let alone that the phone in question is a google experience phone. i also fail to see how saying the buttons are the same as a moto droid makes me a pessimist. quit being an elitist dick for two fucking seconds and maybe, just maybe, you will realize that nothing i have said is based off an opinion. you should try thinking before you speak, it would do you well in life. and for the record, i’m no kid ass hole

@terran…regardless…you’re down to 1 button to make your case, and the ‘google experience’ could quite conceivably be growing more standardized by the day. My optimism is harmless. Your pessimism requires trash talking about folks who may not deserve it. Go away kid.

I’m a Galaxy owner, but not for long if they don’t update to 1.6 or 2.0 soon. I will give them until Jan/Feb. These phones are expensive, why do they treat customers so badly?

Samsung really makes some ugly phones IMO.

davis: I don’t think t-mobile realized what droid would be about. Droid is pushing performance, performance performance and that will lead to a spec war. Anyone who bet on making money off old hardware and ‘experience’ won’t have much to work with.

@jason, the menu button is not generic. i have yet to see any other phone with a menu button that has a long bar on top, and 3 smaller bars below it. provide some pictures of other phones you have seen with that exact same menu button and then i will believe you.

@terran

galaxy and galaxy spica have a similar back buttons… and the menu button is pretty generic…

my droid has two of these tasty treats for breakfast every morning, toasted and lightly buttered, and remains lightning fast and svelte.

@jason, no. the only keys that look remotely like all the other google experience phones are the home and search keys. the menu and back button icons are the exact same as the droid and have ONLY looked like that on the droid. i suggest you look into things with more detail before you go spouting off bullshit.

on second thought,and no doubt still of topic (my apologies) this is of course all about money. Every carrier knows when the bulk of their customer’s contracts are ending. If their projected sales for the holidays are less than projected sales from whenever their biggest wave of ending contracts is, I suppose they’ll be offering the latest and greatest (which will surely be Android) at that time. Perhaps there’s hope for TMobile (and me) yet.

@modelportfolio- i think youre right in that low-end androids are inevitable, but its bad business. I dont know how much more clear it can be made to carriers that Apple destroyed the mobile scene with its centralized efforts. I see TMO has come out with 4 bottom-of-the-barrel (spec-wise) Androids, each obsolete at inception, while Verizon seems at least somewhat centralized with the Droid. So we have TMO, who advertises their Androids but really doesnt at all get the message out about how capable the Android OS is. Very bad marketing if you ask me. And Verizon shows what the phone can really do in its ads, and offers a high end Android and Time names Droid the ‘(whatever) of the year” while TMO has been focusing on low-end Androids for a good year and every TMO customer who know anything about Android is completely disappointed by TMO’s efforts. I guess my point is that Verizon did in a month or two what TMO cant even conceptualize. Why try to reinvent how a mobile OS should be offered when we’ve already seen what works? I just feel sorry for myself as an original Android lover now stuck in a low-end Android carrier’s contract
