Cons

Slow 4G data speeds, Outdated processor
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
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!
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.
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.
Reception is average.
Photos sometimes have a red tint, Text and images are jagged.
Slow “4G” data speeds, Unable to handle sites with heavy Flash content

The Samsung Infuse 4G feels a bit like a phone with an identity crisis. It costs the same as the Epic 4G Touch, but is excluded from the Galaxy line. It's got a 4G right in the name, but it doesn't boast 4G speeds. And at 4.5" it's also...

This phone was made to be seen.No, really. The Samsung Infuse 4G’s huge 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen not only looks great, but practically begs for video playback.Of course, that raises the question: Is that enough to differentiate the Infuse...

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...

A list of people who might need a phone that sprawls as far and wide as the Infuse: Godzilla, Shaq, the Nathan's hot dog contest winner who isn't the Japanese guy, people who'd giggle every time they say, "My phone is bigger than yours." WHY...
