I've created a sticky for first impressions and reviews, just to keep things consolidated and organized.

Hows the call quality?

Ditto....Main reason for me getting this phone is to correct the choppy voice quality of my Incredible.

damn, this thing downloaded my entire gmail contact list into my contacts.. not cool, grr.. Now I gotta figure out how to clean that out.

Wonder if Bing can tell me how to do this..

 

[namebrandon]

I have no idea how the call quality is, sorry guys. I use ~14 minutes a month on my cell phone. I'm sure someone will chime in soon though.

Ok, that contact cleanup was easy, good thing I've been using the "Groups" for a while now in gmail.

Maybe I misunderstood, but if you are using another source for contacts, such as Exchange, you can turn off syncing of contacts in the accounts & sync settings for Gmail. That's what I do. I do the same thing for calendar.

Yeah, unfortunately we use exchange, but for some reason I can't synch directly with it. We have to use this "Good Messaging" product instead, which is pretty nice actually, but doesn't integrate 100% into Android, so it's not listed as an account for contacts.

I just exported my Outlook contacts to a .csv, imported them all into a new gmail group and then synched that gmail group. A bit of a pain, but I rarely add contacts.

Sometimes Nitrodesk's Touchdown app can get past those situations. It sends a brute force - for lack of better words - of different methods to your server to try and find one that is compatible. Are you able to use OWA?

I wanted to sync my facebook contacts to contact list so that I can then add my favorite contacts to Buddies List. But the facebook contacts are not synced into contacts. Under the group tab in contacts, it just shows my facebook account (with a zero in parenthesis). Anyone knows why? I wanted to use the Buddies Now widget.
Or is it the part of the Social Hub thing that Samsung has announced but has not launched yet?

No we don't have OWA. We've got Citrix, and it launches some full version of Outlook via the web browser. It's too high-tech around here for it's own good.

Ah yes, the choice to publish apps - ick.
