Samsung Vibrant Ready for Pre-Sale, Loaded with Kindle and Avatar

The Samsung Vibrant, the latest entry in the gettin'-mighty-crowded field of Android phones, just popped up for pre-order with an expected release date of July 21. But combine some pretty good pre-release press for the Vibrant with shortages for competing high-end Android phones (such as the Droid Incredible for Verizon and EVO 4G for Sprint), and you've got a salivating T-Mobile looking to get things started a little early with a July 15 launch (according to IntoMobile).

Part of Samsung's Galaxy S lineup of Google-powered smartphones, the 3G-enabled Vibrant runs the Android 2.1 operating system and is outfitted with some prevmium specs--including a 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor and 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display (with 480 x 800-pixel resolution). The folks over at Engadget previewed the Galaxy S handset launched overseas in London back in June and were very impressed with the display's handling of direct sunlight. It should definitely give the iPhone 4's retina display some good competition and, frankly, kicks the HTC EVO 4G's tuchus (with its 65K color depth, compared to the Vibrant's 16 million).

Check out a comparison of the Vibrant's screen to the Nexus One in this hands-on video from Howard Chui of Howard Forums:

To show off its processor and display chops, T-Mobile is loading the Vibrant up with the Sims 3 game and the block-busting Avatar. But wait, there's more... You also get the recently released Amazon Kindle for Android app, six months of free Gogo Inflight Internet service, and a free 30-day trial of MobiTV mobile for live and on-demand TV on your phone. Other specs include a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video capture, 16 GB of internal memory with microSD expansion capabilities (maxing out at 32 GB), Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.

Check out more about the Samsung Vibrant, now available for pre-order... and in your hands potentially by the end of this week.
