[t]http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/postimages/684/samsung-attain-att.jpg[/t] [editline]28th July 2011[/editline] Above pic is said to be the Attain And that leaked case was said to be for the at&T attain.

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;31392872]Is it possible they'll release both? I don't want a slide out keyboard[/QUOTE] Nope. One carrier will be getting a keyboard one, and it's almost guaranteed to be AT&T. They will not get two versions.

The first one is not. It's shot on a piece of glass with white card below it to get the reflection, the lighting is done with studio strobes through soft boxes.

If it's on the US or EU version then let us know, but Samsung doesn't have that stand listed here.

Guys, I posted beforehand saying I was going to get a ZTE blade changed my mind, I came across some money from selling my bike, and I'm going to buy a HTC desire z, because I [B]CANNOT STAND[/B] touch screen keyboards, I can't feel the buttons and I get annoyed.

Another less likely scenario is that sprint is yet again getting a keyboard version.

Why are there no official accessories for the Nexus S? I'm having to use an unofficial desk charger which feels like it's going to snap in half any second, and I can't find any car docks that aren't generic "all phones supported!" shit. I thought there were proper Samsung approved docks and stuff

How much OC can the Blade's CPU withstand? 30-40% more than the vanilla max? [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] Holy smokes, where did the guy on the last page find that 2.3.5 ROM?

[QUOTE=chrishind10;31390946]Considering with it I get far less hangs and judders, it's improved the phone 10 times over.[/QUOTE] Compared to a previous version of the same rom?

Lol. To compete with the Bell I9100 Rogers Canada brought in the Samsung Infuse, so pathetic.
