Cons

Speaker is fine for calls, anemic for movies. Plastic chassis and volume rocker are pure chintz. Getting video onto a TV is donglereliant. All this downloadable video sweetness ships with a tiny 2GB card.
Large design not for everyone, HDMI implementation can be troublesome
Low screen resolution for its size, Plastic shell, HSPA+ speeds can’t compete with LTE, TouchWiz interface has some quirks, Weak, poorly placed speaker
AT&T doesn't yet have a network to back up the phone's speeds. Not the best voice phone. Tall and wide dimensions make it tough to hold.
Slow “4G” data speeds, Unable to handle sites with heavy Flash content
Large display and sheer size of the device will be too large for some, We want Gingerbread!
Inconsistent data performance, That screen might be a little too big, External HDMI adapter
The lower-resolution screen makes text look a bit pixelated. AT&T's 4G data speeds are slow.
Android 2.2 Froyo instead of 2.3 Gingerbread, low pixel density, no notification light
Reception is average.
Slow “4G” data speeds, Unable to handle sites with heavy Flash content

I am, frankly, much more impressed with the Samsung Infuse 4G than I expected to be going into this review. The large screen design just works on many levels, including being the first device where I wasn't annoyed by using an on-screen keyboard...

The Infuse is a really fantastic device. We were impressed with everything about it, save for the lousy HSPA+ speeds – but we were expecting that. The display is simply awesome, the design is great, TouchWiz is pretty nice as far as Android UIs...

Overall the Samsung Infuse 4G is really shaping up to be a great follow up to AT&T's Captivate and ranks in at a 'Good' overall rating. It seems Samsung will continue to try to dominate through their Galaxy S moniker, and are trying new...

The Infuse 4G isn’t short on contradictions. Its 4G moniker promises speeds AT&T’s HSPA+ can’t quite deliver, and while we’re used to big-screen phones packing all-round flagship specs, its single-core processor lags behind our...
