The Summer of 2010 will be remembered in years yet to come as the season that saw Android superphones like the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant – which is the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S, in case you didn’t already know – coming into their own as high-powered competitors to the iPhone. In fact, the T-Mobile Vibrant could have what it takes to convince potential iPhone customers to stick with T-Mobile, rather than defect to AT&T for a chance at iPhone 4 glory. To show you what we mean, we got our hands on a new Samsung Vibrant to do some hands-on tours of the hardware and software bundled with Big Magenta’s Galaxy S variant.
Samsung Captivate
This spring, Samsung introduced the first of its Galaxy S phones, Android powerhouses to rival the HTC EVO 4G, the various Droids (both Motorola’s and HTC’s), and of course, the iPhone 4.

But Samsung’s TouchWiz interface isn’t for everybody, and in my tests the phone was a bit sluggish at times. On top of that, AT&T is at it again with its blocking of third-party Android apps.

Report Says AT&T’s Network Doesn’t Carry the Most Data
AT&T likes to claim that it carries the most wireless data traffic of any mobile carrier, and, in 2009, claimed that it carried 50 percent of the nation’s mobile data traffic. But a recent report from ABI Research challenges this, stating that, in 2009, Verizon and Sprint each carried more data traffic than did AT&T.

Now, a new carrier has emerged as a possible contender: T-Mobile. Yes, T-Mobile.
Analyst Dough Reid tells The Street that he sees T-Mobile as a potential home for the iPhone. Like AT&T, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, though T-Mobile is a much smaller company. Would users be willing to make the move to a smaller company? We may find out, according to Reid.
