Come on, T-Mobile!

They do it to me every time. A carrier announces something that I want, and then starts teasing for something a little further down the road. It makes it very hard to be an early adopter, for sure.

Tomorrow, the most powerful Android phone on T-Mobile, the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant will land. Unfortunately, it’s not an HSPA+ capable device, and the rumor is that T-Mo is going to launch their faster networks on July 21, just one week from today. The first phone capable of taking advantage of the new network is rumored to be the HTC Vision…which won’t launch ’til September. And even then, we don’t know the specs of it.

We do know the Vibrant is powerful, and I have handled the beautiful thing. It’s skinny and the screen is big and bright. If I pick one up tomorrow, it won’t be with any great hesitance or regret. I just can’t help but wonder what’s next.

I’ll update with the Samsung Vibrant tomorrow if it’s available in stores. It’s certainly not available as an upgrade on mytmobile.com. It’s been in their database of phones for weeks, but you couldn’t order it.

I’m kind of plunging into the Google Services/Buzz/FriendConnect thing, so there’s a widget over there that lets you connect your Google/Twitter/Yahoo/other with this site. If I had anything else to separate with more slashes, I would put it in this sentence.

I’m still waiting for the Archos 7 tester to show up on my doorstep, and I’ve lately been fantasizing about an Android-powered pocket camcorder.

It is so very possible and so very easily done I can’t believe I haven’t found one in Hong Kong yet.

Anyway, more from me later…a look at the Samsung Galaxy S aka Vibrant, some chatting with ZTE about network and consumer hardware, and some more stuff.
