if it comes out on ebay would it work with any network? Or would you have to wait till networks picked it up before you could get service in the US?

yes it has been on sale in germnay for a few weeks and it's just gone on sale in France.

they seem to be rolling this out slowly, well it feels slow cause i want one.
T-Mobile start taking Pre orders for the Hero tomorrow so i am hoping that 02 feel the need to give us more info on a UK release tomorrow as well.

so tell us what do you think of the phone and what is it like to live with i.e Batter life and Size of the phone?
 
Well, from what I have tried so far it really feels great!

The form factor is good but not quite as good as the Iphone, however, the Galaxy weighs less than the Iphone so that is a plus.

The screen is bright and clear and everything seems very smooth and responsive. All though I must admit that the onscreen keyboard takes some time to get used to, but I guess that is what you can expect when you are used to a normal phone.

I think it is too early for me to be talking about battery life since I have been playing around with this A LOT since I got it (downloading/installing a ton of apps and trying almost every single option that I can think of. : )

For more info I recommend that you take a look at this very nice unboxing video from Arne at www.theunwired.net:

Do you only have the onscreen querty keyboard or other ones as well (normal mobile phone one)?

I've seen some video's where you can change that + there will be one that you can install too.
 
What is the camera/video like? Im really interested to know how it stacks up compared to say the iphone/5Mp Nokias.

Am v jealous of you!

I am sure that you can download some apps which will give you the possibility to have different keyboard layouts. I for example got the "scandinavian keyboard" from the Android Market, which adds

The camera functions are quite easy to use because there are not that many details for you to adjust (Camera flash: on, off or auto. Video: high or low quality).

The autofocus is quite fast and the pictures are ok and it is very nice to have the possibility to use a flash when taking pictures.

So far the picture quality has not been outstanding compared to the pictures I have seen on the Iphone and Nokia phones, which is a little disappointing, but I think I need to take some more pictures in different surroundings (inside/outside) before I can make any final comments on the camera.

Otherwise I guess that we just have to wait for some real camera experts to make an actual comparison of the cameras.

As for the video camera the picture quality is also ok (not HD or anything but ok). It is quite responsive but the sound quality could be better.
Still it is nice to have the video option when you see something that just needs to go on Youtube instantly. : )

This is what my countrys biggest importer says on its site. I will order mine tomorrow trough my friend who is working there; just to guarantee that I'll get one first :D

Prize is a hefty 461 x 1.22 = ~560€, but that is not an issue :p

So is there 192Mb or 288Mb of RAM? :confused: I guess it doesnt matter if you dont multirun more than 3 programs... (MSN, browser and something)
