When I bought my phone 2 days ago one rep said he had downloaded Netflix off the web and altered it to make it work, but said it's probably another few months or maybe with the next update. But reps don't know much anyway.
The 4G LG Droid which was displayed next to the Charge I bought had the Netflix app already preloaded on it.
So I can't see Samsung not giving us access to it for very long as they will lose business to other devices as people upgrade to the $G network.
It's probably a matter of them springing for the royalty fee that they have to probably pay to Netflix!
Both devices had HDMI out so Netflix app shouldn't be long.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yea, I here ya. I personally don't like the idea of having to pay extra for something I'm already paying for. I'll wait patiently for the release.
I don't believe the LG Revolution is technically a Droid. It does run Android OS but not to be considered a Droid. The brand "Droid" is reserved for top notch devices like the most recent - the Droid X2, Droid Charge, etc...
Just wanted to clear that up.
(mostly because I dislike LG)
Thats correct its not a Droid but most people i know call all android phones a droid because they dont know the difference
Can you point me to an article that shows the LG version not actually being a Droid. Jsut incase someone asks me the difference because I know friends are going to ask me which model is better.

Wow, I'm glad I chose the sammy. I almost went for the Revolution as the rep said that was their latest one and it ran Netflix.
Even the brochure I took out of the VZ bag when I got home shows only 3 4G models with the Droid Incredible 4G coming soon.
That's amazing that VZ doesn't tell you that the Revolution is not actually a Droid yet their comparison page shows all their 4G offerrings running the Droid OS.

Thx to you and another poster above, pointing out to me that the LG is not actually a Droid because I almost took the LG model because it had Netflix Then I would have had to fight with VZ on a restock fee when I went and returned it for the Charge.

Simple: if it ain't a Motorola handset on Verizon, it ain't a Droid. "Droid" is a trademarked name owned by Lucas Films. Verizon and Motorola jointly licensed its use from Lucas Films. The "Droid" trade-name can't be used in the U.S. outside of that context (i.e., in the U.S. you can't call a cellular handset a "Droid" unless the licensors - Lucas, VZW and Motorola - allow it).
