oh how interesting! i have never seen one of those.

also interesting that it seems to be included with the phone and covered under the basic warranty.

is this perhaps a tie in to the (possible) upgrade to REV A - i.e. marketing unlimited data and REV A speeds for the purposes of some sort of online game playing a la X-Box live? i know, i'm reeeaally stretching the realm of possibility, but heck, why not speculate? *lol*

I think he said "obviously" because the warranty item list contains both "phone" and "game pad" so it would be redundant...i was looking through the other phones on Samsung's website and it seems as if the warranty list and the other info, pertaining to misuse that is not covered under warranty, is a generic statement that Samsung makes for all of its products. For example, there was a "game pad" listed in the i730 warranty list.

I searched on Google and there is actually a game pad that Samsung was selling to go with a flip phone that they designed for Sprint. With all that said, I think the "game pad" item is just a part of the standard warranty info for Samsung products.

Crap, I am late again, hopefully I can type faster than this on my i760, I might not even need Rev A.....

I tend to agree with you. I am not sure we can glean anything from this. It could be something seperate, but then again, it might not be.

I was thinking that maybe it is an entire PS3 that they include in the box to help Sony get marketshare! LOL

Samsung actually makes a game pad that their consumer phones slip into that looks very much like a funky console type controller. It will be interesting to see if the i760 has a supported device such as this.

While my primary use of this device is email etc, this is a toy that I would consider purchasing if I thought that there was some value to me there.

If that is true, then it makes sense that there is a proprietary interface plug on the base of the unit instead of a standard USB interconnection.

Because it's obviously a list of separate items/accessories.

I agree, this is more like a boilerplate warranty statement and the game pad is NOT for the i760.

Man, you guys are really reaching... There is no addon gamepad for the i760, nor is there one built in, just the d-pad. That warranty was wrote up with the same wording as the i730, and gamepad = 5 way Dpad...

Ahh, good point, I hadn't even noticed that...I guess the reluctance to switch over to the standard of USB connection for all products is due to the fact that Samsung would have to give up their grip on all Samsung products being reliant on other Samsung products...I guess Samsung and VZW are a match made in heaven.....

kill joy

I like how both you and Geckotek are equally sure you are right and you both have different outcomes. But I realized by reading your posts that I have to be wrong about the PS3. Since it is a M$ OS, it has to be an XBOX. LOL
