Samsung is doing it right, why don't the others?

Samsungs decision to release the Galaxy S series of smartphone over all the major carriers is showing to be a very smart decision. Since its launch in mid July over just two of the carriers, Samsung has shipped over one million of the devices.

The two carriers Samsung started their launch with was AT&T with the Galaxy S Captivate, and T-mobile with the Galaxy S Vibrant. For T-mobile users this was fantastic news indeed. The T-mobile phone offerings of late have truelly lagged far behind other providers such as Verizon and AT&T, the exception being the retooling of the My Touch into the My Touch Slide ( a phone this author was seriously considering for personal and business use ). Given all of the amazing features in the Galaxy S series on T-mobile, the Vibrant is sure to be the top selling smartphone of all of T-mobiles current offerings. Some of its more attractive features include : a 4" Super AMOLED touch screen, 16gb of memory (with slot for micro SD card), 5 megapix camera, GPS, Wi-Fi enabled, Android based with all the apps available, Swype typing, 1Ghz processor and more!


The next releases in the Galaxy S line from Samsung, are the Epic 4G from Sprint tomorrow, and this fall from Verizon look for the Samsung Fascinate.

Samsung is doing it right, for the consumers, for their business model, for the carriers. I hope that the other phone manufacturers take note, a broad release over all the carriers is what we want now. Let the carriers battle it out for customers by modifying their contracts and offering perks, and not make it about who has the better stuff.
