  • CAPTIVATE FTW!!!!

  • I was considering buying an unlocked iPhone 4 or captivate but found a captivate on craigslist with ICS installed for 160. So glad i bought it. phone runs good and im not trapped by apple

  • iPhones are boring as hell, you can't even customize anything like on the captivate, Captivate is way better

  • captivate definitely my dad was always saying he wanted an iphone but i wanted a captivate and hes says the iphone is better but i feel this video totally proves him wrong

  • Samsung Captivate<3<3<3<3

  • Consider the used market today, it's somewhat hard to justify paying 200 extra for an iphone 4 compared to samsung galaxy. I mean I guess it's good news for people buying new phones, apples will be the way to go because android phones has very limited ability to retain value. But still, in terms of feature, I don't think iphone 4 has 200 bucks more feature than Galaxy S. I would say maaaybe 100, top.

  • Android and CAPTIVATE!!!!! <33

  • my iphone broke so you convinced me to get the captivate, thanks i subscribed

  • @thejasperkitty Apple is overrated......I jumped on the Apple bandwagon...huge mistake. Android all the way

  • @sc8terboy66runescape yea it does happen but all u have to do is take the battery out and put it back. Then if goes superfast just like how it worked when u first get it.

  • Yea...the Captivate seems to be more like a real hand-held computer where the iPhone4 just  sticks to being a phone.

  • i think this phone would be good for me cause i have an ipod 4 so im good

  • captivate!!!!!!

  • I love the Captivate with a passion lol

  • @sc8terboy66runescape My captivate lags now and i barely had it to for 2 weeks.

  • @Ayyyyyye14 Download this App called ES Task Manager and put the Widget on your Home Screen,and whenever your phone starts to lag click the widget and it will clear all your tasks and make the phone faster and it also serves as a Cache cleaner too.

  • @MicDizzle2 In the market right.?

  • I have captivate and It just kicks ass get captivate

  • Had 3Gs in Jun 09, started to randomly shutdown/power issues in '10. It may look sleeker but won’t matter since it cracks so easy, would need protective case that hides the look anyway. Charging cables are flimsy, cable for Cap is better/universal. Wife's has similar power issues, if these happen to Cap at least can replace battery. Apple is a rip off & limits its lifespan so you end up upgrading, that's y App purposely don't make external batts for i4/5. Obviously Cap is a logical/cheaper buy.

  • get the captivate -_-

  • how come ari left??

  • @ROFLitZjEffReY Wow... that's ancient history! Ari left in Sept. 2010 and is working in a different industry. I met him once and he's a nice guy. And he did a great job with these videos.

  • I want the Captivate so bad!

  • I have my Captivate with CM7 I wouldn't even give a iPhony the time of day.

  • i subscribed to u man

  • @47oLgUn Thanks! Although I should mention that the guy who recorded this Schmackdown (Ari) left Wirefly in Sept. 2010. We all loved his work, but he moved on to greener pastures.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • schmack down lol

  • I am a android user but did you see that delay when you pressed home after opening

    the phone it almost took a couple second to close 3:42

  • iPhone = hundreds of millions sold. Samsung = 150k sold.  Yeah, you made the right choice Skeezix.

  • i have an ipod touch already. is it a waste to get the iphone

  • i went into this video thinking iphone. thwn after 3 mins it was captivate then it went back and forth and now i cannot decide

  • before i saw your video, i really wanted an iphone, but now im dieing for a Samsung Captivate! thank you so much for changing my mind! :D yay

  • @fRoGyPRincESS0871 You are welcome!

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @fRoGyPRincESS0871 cAPTIVATE IS GREAT.....

    

  • @fRoGyPRincESS0871 me 2222222

  • Captivate with Phoenix Ultimate Rom. So smooth and full of style.

  • Only 2 things better on the 4...front facing camera and the flash. Other than that Samsung Captivate owns the 4. My girlfriend has a 4 and I have the Captivate and Captivate is way better

  • I chose Captivate over iPhone, iPhone is for p*ssies. I don't even know where to start on how much Captivate KILLS the iPhone 4.

  • Hey, would you tell me if the samsung one has Chinese input? I mean some kind of software/app that I can use to type chinese text.

    Thanks a lot

  • @Weishification I don't really know. You might ask someone at an AT&T store, or find an Android-specific blog (such as Phandroid, AndroidPolice, AndroidSpin, etc.) and ask there. There should be a way but I just don't know.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @Weishification theres an app for that ;)

  • CAPTIVATE!!!

  • im guessing now, app wise these are almost the samE?

  • the only way ur going to get that much battery life on the captivate is you charge it the right which takes for every to charge... the battery drains fast if it used alot...just sayin

  • Iphone sux android pwns

  • I have both phones! mom dont wanna use her captivate anymore so yeaah, now i have 2 phones. iPhone 4 is my personal phone its simpler, i could video chat, better hd video than the captivate, plus the flash and has longer battery life than my captivate. To those who dont mind front camera and camera flash get the captivate. I got my captivate rooted and unlocked, ima use it when i go to philippines this summer! :) to those who are choosing, u wont really go wrong on any of these phones :)

  • Captivate is def the winner....Im getting it in 3 days....as soon as my sprint contract ends!

  • Wirefly is extremely bias towards the iphone

  • omg! my boyfriend has the captivate and i have the i4 and we always fight for the captivate its just so much better but the camera on the i4 is better because of the front face cam..but everything else on the captivate crushes the i4

  • captivate for sure!!

  • Android rules

  • these videos are just used to let people know what phines are capable of not to have a war on which is better because everyone has their own opinion. As long as YOUR happy with your phone then it obviously good.

  • Captivate Rules, it beats out the iphone by 100% love this smartphone

  • Captivate for sure

  • Captivate Rules, but people gonna say iphone 4's better because they have it, we say the captivate rules because we have it. bUT I upgraded from the iphone and I have no regrrets. The iphone was boring. with no flexibility. Who cares about a front facing camera because most people dont use it anyway.

    Shazam!

  • iPhone 4 came out at the begiining of 2010...Galaxy came out at the end of 2010...

    Why compare them?!?!?!?!?!

    The Galaxy just lloks cheap...I have a iPhone 4 & love it

  • @2008C6Vette The captivate came out less than a month after the iPhone 4...

    Captivate beats the iPhone in almost every category, plus it is cheaper, the plan is cheaper, it has exchangeable memory and battery, there is no down side...

    The only thing the iPhone has over this is a terrible quality front facing camera and led flash on the back camera.

  • I am lost. Captivate is the same as the Galaxy S but looks different?

  • @hovy82 all the Galaxy S phones have a different look friend. (Captivate - AT&T, Fascinate - Verizon, Epic 4G - Sprint, and then Vibrant - Tmobile). The Tmobile "Vibrant" probably looks the same as the Galaxy S phones sold outside of United States.

  • @VraiDiouf Great. I got that part, thanks. What's a Galaxy S phone? a phone with prerequisites such as cpu speeed, etc?

  • @hovy82 Galaxy S phone is just a Brand Name used for those 4 phones. They are amongst the most powerful if not the most powerful phones on the market today from a hardware perspective.

  • @VraiDiouf - Cool, thanks.

  • @FCPORTO1FAN

    Probably but then again what isn't locked down on AT&T? At least Android allows you to do a hell of a lot more out of the box than you can on an iPhone. You should take another look at the specs on the thing, it's more than just a "good graphics chip".

  • Hey everyone, the Motorola Atrix 4G is coming out on AT&T within the next couple months and blows both of these out of the water. You might want to wait.

  • captivate ftw.

    I was an iphone user and I took a leap and got captivate as my first android and I am in love with it.. simply love it.

    Although, I like the high resolution on iphone 4. I envy my gf's iphone 4 screen time to time.  Captivate is brighter and clearer, but iphone is more crisp

  • @zushizushizushizushi

    The Captivate's screen has much more vivid colors and far better contrast though.

  • IM SO INDECISIVE! I have had an iPhone for over a year now and am so scared to get rid of it. But I have friends with this phone and have really started to like it. I've been thinking of pro's and con's and have watched this but still not sure what I want to do? Maybe the apps thing is stopping me.

  • Captivate all the way!!!

  • Really hard on which one I want iPhone 4 has a great screen but seem like a phone that you can't do anything which and there customer service and apple care is bullshit and covers nothing.

    And samsung is way faster im confused which one should I get!

  • @mambobro whatever floats your boat.

  • $50 at radioshack for the captivate as in upgrade extension contract.....wirefly you upset me cut down the price more! 80 vs 50 and free shipping threw radioshack

  • Comment removed

  • I am part of a family plan. We have a shared family plan plus I have a data plan already ATT. I went to your site to see how much the Captivate would be there for me to upgrade my phone. I'm actually eligible tomorrow, but your site said it could process the order tomorrow, so that's all fine. I really just want to continue on with my present voice and data plans. However, I don't seem to have that option. It's offering a more expensive voice plan.

  • im gonna go with the iphone 4. the LED flash and front camera sold me. besides i already have a 3g and have bought apps. This way i can just use those apps on the 4.

  • @mambobro I'm retracting my statement. apple would not allow me to upgrade due to complications, but samsung did. so when it comes to satisfaction, Samsung gets A+, and apple gets D-.

  • @mambobro wow.... here i am again going back to my first statement. Captivate was cool, but I didn't like it very much. Im going monday to get an iphone 4.

  • @mambobro Find a different Android phone.

  • @NightHawk877 i would but android just doesn't have what i want. The great thing about android is the fact that i can customize so much, but ANYTHING worth having on android marketplace, is not free. It's hard to navigate. I'm not even sure if there is another android phone on at&t. The captivate kept fucking up when it came to wifi, and i don't have unlimited data. I already had an iphone 3g, so switching to the 4 was easy.. So in conclusion, Id take a jailbroken iphone over a rooted captivate.

  • @mambobro

    A rooted Captivate is a lot more capable dude. The android market has tons of good free apps too, a lot more than Apple's whose apps are generally more expensive as well.

  • i have the iphone but i am getting the captivate. a friend said that you could just switch the sim cards and use the phone interchangeably is that true?

  • @terdville

    Yes it is.

  • you can't compare the Samsung Captivate to the iphone 4's, you should just say, iphone has a better screen. i don't know what you have been doing but the battery was dont wrong, the iphone from other youtuber's and people at phone companies give the iphone a 40 percent longer battery life then the Samsung Captivate.

    parts of this video is giving credit were it is not due

  • the battery life info was bullshit, the iphone has a better battery. I would know, i have both

  • 7 seconds or so.

  • So hard to choose D: Android OS (granted it may nto be 2.3 for awhile, if ever) or iOS4? The sleekness of the legendary iPhone or the freedom of Android?? Gah.

    P.S. Does the iPhone (jailbroken) have moving backgrounds?

  • @TotallyRandomForever yes it does but iv heard complaints About jailbroken users iphones stoping working because of it.

  • captivate

    

  • CAPTIVATE RULES

  • So which is better?

  • on the iphone 4 that is an APP FOR THAT!! if the other phone can download TANGO then you can video chat over WIFI OR 3G!!!!...but honestly i would get the captivate if it had a front facing camera and wasnt so slow responding at times

  • so this phone comes with 16gb internal memory? and you can add an additional 16gb card for a total of 32gb? is this correct?

    how good is this phone for use like an ipod? is the sound quality for music good?

  • @xXRequiremXx Yes, the Captivate has 16GB of on-board storage and will take a microSD card up to 32GB. It can have as much as 48GB of storage. The sound quality is excellent through headphones... plenty of volume.

    Wirefly

  • @wirefly The iPhone has a remote built into the earbuds which you can click to end calls and skip songs. Does the Captivate have that as well? Can you click the earbuds and end calls and skip songs? Does it even have a remote?

  • @crabman484 yes it does

  • @crabman484 lol does the captivate have the antennae where you hold the phone?" i didn't think so.......

  • The captivate is 96 cents at sams for the holidays! no joke thats why I'm watching this.

  • @smithy3389 The Captivate is free on Wirefly with a new AT&T account. Why pay a buck when you can get it for free? And were there any cool cell phone videos at Sam's? Why not give us a try?

    Wirefly

  • @smithy3389 sams club? because its not on their website

  • WHAT'S BETTER , VERIZON OR AT&T???

  • @PhillieBRidin verizon

  • @PhillieBRidin What ever you do never go with verizon their service sucks balls nd they overcharge $800 nd up thnx god am switching to AT&T no more crappy ass verizon

  • @PhillieBRidin At&t ftw

  • ok so get the captivate, if i want video chat i can just go get a ipod touch 4th gen, ANDROID is 10x better than any iOS

  • FYI the Samsung Captivate is only $149.00 at Best Buy. 

  • I have had iPhones ever since they came out but when comparing my brothers captivate with my iPhone 4 he easily blew mine away. The android market kills the apple market. The only thing the iPhone has that I would like on the captivate is the flash camera, but then again that's why I have 10mp camera for pictures. Shm at you apple nutt huggers.

  • @jamael87 I have been an Apple guy for 20 years and i totally agree. the Droid OS is just hands down superior. I have a black berry now i was going to get an iPhone. I tried the windows phone too. Windows did a great job with the Phone OS and i give them kudos but the Droid has features like voice browsing "swipe" typing is furious .. i am sold on the capitivate.

  • You know what I hate? People making decisions to buy one phone over another solely based on the fact that the Iphone 4 has a front-facing VGA camera. Yes, it's cool, but you can only do Face time or video-calls with some one who HAS an Iphone 4 or front facing camera.

  • I mean with 1:55 seconds left

  • He calls it the vibrant, at around 1:55 i think

    And the captivate ddnt win by a second it won by atleast 3 or 4 seconds

  • How do u kill all running apps on the samsung captivate?? I've looked forever!!!

  • I have the iphone 3gs and im just looking for something different... im sure ill probably regret it once the new iphone comes out but whatever

  • CAPTIVATE!!!!!!!

  • @randomaccount2525 It's true, iPhone 4's screen does look a washed out but the resolution is far greater. Apple has really out done everyone else with their Retina Display. Also, carbon fiber is very light and durable but even so. Apple's hardened glass that covers the back and front of the device has the strength consistency as Sapphire crystal. Also, when you do not have the phones side by side and it's not in intense light the washed out look would be gone and there wouldn't be much change.

  • I hate the GalaxyS logo on the back of it, it makes it look cheap. Live wallpaper = batter drain. I wish At&T carried the motorola Droids :(

  • @diegosaenz wtf who fucking cares about the logo go kill urself ur probably gonna put a case anyway.. seriously its better to look stupid than talking and prooving it

  • @diegosaenz super amoled screen actually saves your battery life. search before you say stuff.

  • @diegosaenz and also. on the back of captivate is not just a metal or plastic. it's carbon fiber. please.....

  • I hate the GalaxyS logo on the back of it, it makes it look cheap.

  • LOVE the captivate!!!!!I just got that phone,and plan on keeping it lol!Not even 24 hours ::)

  • LOL i love how he says "smackdown"

  • @learber he does that on purpose

  • 2:10 ... Great for booby watching???

  • Hey wait a minute.. That credit card is fake. Your a big fat phoney!

  • haha at 12:31 he calls the Captivate the Vibrant another Galaxy S phone

  • Captivate..its every bit as good as the Iphone4 but Android is just a much better OS than Apples,so those two things combined make make the Captivate easily the best choice for a smart phone on the market today hands down!

  • Ps: Just in case some don't know, you can videochat with people who don't only have the Iphone 4. You can videochat over wifi or 3g with free apps like Fring or Tango.

  • My captivate does NOT last 2 days. About 15 hours but not two days, and that's with the lowest brightness and no live wallpaper. It's weird how you got 2 days, what do you do? lol

  • @mileyfan98 i've had mine for three months and the only problem i've had with it so far is that it turns off by itself

  • should i get a iphone 3gs orr samsung captivate?

  • @thevoidisbeast Captivate, in my opinion.

  • Why come my friends captivate is so much faster than the on in the video

  • samsung is tha bast Phone

  • If you want freedom get the Captivate, if you want quality and simplicity get the iPhone 4.

  • @seanbuckly7 jailbreak iphone it beat almost all

  • @seanbuckly7 fair enough

  • @seanbuckly7 Quality? didn't you see the video? I think captivate got better quality.

    Iphone's screen looks really washed out compared to a captivate.

  • @remnantrestraint Another thing? High grade plastic rims or metal bands? There is not denying that iPhone's are made with much higher quality. Even the weight of the phone makes it "feel" more real.

  • @seanbuckly7 What do u mean by quality?

  • @seanbuckly7 The same can be said for the myriad of Android devices out there.

  • @seanbuckly7

    The Captivate has good quality too, it's only real faults lie in Samsung's butchering of Android.

  • i'm soooo confused as to which one i want now.... ugh

  • the galaxy s line sucks all together. ←period!

  • just got a captivate and damn it i miss my iphone

  • Captivate, it's amazing, I love mine

  • ive had the captivate and i have the iphone 4 now and the iphone 4 is a much better phone, it feels so much more sturdy, the captivate is more for a teenager. the iphone 4 on the other hand is for the GROWN AND SEXY LOL

  • i have owned apples restricted shit product with the POS itunes and sold it as fast as i could once i fully understood what kind of a scheming snake like company apple is. Once the captivate releases for rogers i will enjoy all the websites that support flash and won't have to deal with apple's itunes and control over everything you do with the phone.

  • @aldeo666 thats y you have to learn to get around apples restrictions. im on t mobile with my iphone 4 and i have plenty of ways to get around it. the best thing on my phone is a program called install0us i can get any app that costs money for free.

  • I've used both and iPhone 4 all day. The Captivate's screen is shit compared to the iPhone 4, and the capacitive touch buttons on the bottom are fucking annoyingly unresponsive.

  • i still dont know which one to get though... it seems like its mainly just personal preference >.<

  • This guy was an idiot he was just favoring the iphone 4.

  • THE MAIN FACT IS THAT. The Samsung Captivate is better than the Iphone4 you can listen to what other people are saying and get the iphone4 because everyone has or wants to get it. With the captivate you also less app restrictions compared to the Iphone4.  We all have different opinions but I would go with the Captivate just because it's an Apple phone doesn't make it better!!

  • you are dropping these phones kinda rough

  • captivate is 10 times better, if you have to choose pick the captivate

  • @Spatchulla19 may i ask why?

    bcuz im thinking of getting a new phone and these are the 2 i came down to

  • @DasiaF I'm an ex-iphone user and current captivate user. Captivate all day. The customizable home screen is awesome. the Screen size is great. The Phone insurance cover EVERYTING the iphone doesn't:

    Water damage,losing the phone, breaking the screen, parts broken but there minor damage so apple won't fix it and others. Camera is the iphone but the battery.The call quality is equal and messaging is too.Price is WAY less on the captivate.Video is iphone all day.So:

    Captivate- 4

    Iphone- 2

    Tie- 2

  • @FuckYeahItsSuchal oh okay thanks

  • @jamaiya789 iPhone has bluetooth 2.2. The captivate has bluetooth 3.0. iPhone and well any phone from 2006+ should have some version of bluetooth.

  • ... IM ONLY 14 SO... ANYWAY, im not sure, plus i do wanna try swype and the fact is that i had that iPhone for a year and a few months and then i got the backflip in March til now sooo im not sure, if you are gonna reply gimme a reason...

  • Dammmit man, im elgible for an early upgrade and im torn between these two phones, i had an iPhone 3G and then moved on to the Backflip ( Which I do not recommend AT ALL!!!!! THATS THE REASON WHY IM USING THE EARLY UPGRADE) BUT I MISSED MY iPhone and the only reason why i didnt stay with it is because it didnt have insurance but now iPhone 4 does, I was gonna get the Captivate at first but then something reminded me of my iPhone, plus the iPhone was my FIRST SMARTPHONE NOT MY FIRST PHONE...

  • @liltonyton101 captivate...trust me

  • @iKennKenn3G its been a day since i wrote that which means i did alot of research, and he is what i came to, Im leaving the backflip because it resets on me, it freezes, its just acts stupid, of course when I first bought the phone, it was working properly, but then charging issues came and things happened, and then it fell and the screen crack, so i got another one from the insurance company, and that was like june, so I had one from March to june and from june til now, and now this one is ...

  • @iKennKenn3G ... doing the same thing, and im about 5 seconds away from throw the phine somewhere, anyway, I have read reviews and basically, it is gonna happen on the Captivate, they said it reseted on them, its giving them email problems and more, but yea, for like the first month or two the captivate would be a good phone but its gonna f**k up, the iPhone 3G when i had it, never reset on me, it was a very nice phone and i was gonna keep it for a very long time but, now I regret it...

  • @iKennKenn3G ... I regret not keeping it, iPhone is an great phone with it issues but what phone doesnt have issue, and people who doesnt like apple but had an iPhone should agree that they get the job done, if there is a problem, bamm, there an update, and issues, and because the iPhone has more apps, I compared how long i would be on my backflip to how long i would be on my old iPhone 3G and i was on the iPhone way longer, trust me i want the Captivate for swype but it is not worth having ...

  • @iKennKenn3G ... a phone that you will know fu*k up, it just doesnt make sense, ok when the iPhone 4 first came out, that was everybody mistake because of the screw ups and because numerous people bought it and had the problem, it allowed apple to get on the case and try to fix it and it allow people to realize that they should wait alittle bit before buying an iPhone 4, so yea im going with the iPhone 4 and I have alot of reasons why, I hope that this was helpful to people who couldnt decide...

  • @iKennKenn3G between these 2 phones

  • I'm not an iphone fanatic and have never had one but I am thinking about getting one over the captivate and for all the people who say the captivate kills the iphone think about this: Iphone has a much better music player, better browser, way less laggy os, facetime, led flash, a screen with more clarity (colors are better on captivate though), gps is better and actually works, way more apps, email works better, and is more user friendly.

  • @jlescroart30 the captivate can change the equalizer in it's music player and add sound affects so iphone4 music player is worse. Browser on captivate has flash, yah theres lag but with android 2.2 goodbye iphone, LED flash IS cool, there already is a gps fix, facetime is only on wifi with other iphone there are multiple ways to use email on android at the click of a button,minimal customization and stuck on itunes is not user friendly. I respect your opinion but get your facts straight.
