This is my first and last samsung mobile phone. Nothing works on it, internet, email, gps even with 3/4 bars, runs so sluggish, slow to release updates, release 2.2 and maybe that might make it work as advertised until then avoid this phone.
just love the phone...got it almost a month back..good battery life sturdy feel...would have loved it more with a flash cos i take a lot of pics with my phones..
This phone would be great....if it would actually connect to my damn computer. Make sure you read up on all the connective problems people have been having before deciding on this phone.
@blown528hemi heyy can you use the android market on this phone ? i heard you couldnt but some say you can . There's this really fun 'alchemy' game i wanna get :]
Does anyone know what the helicopter game is that they show demoed in this video? I'm getting the phone soon ans would like to get that game also as it looks great!
@rlightheart If you don't care about GPS working then the phone is great! I ended up getting the Blackberry Torch because the navigation is great. Also the sound is better. I guess it just depends on what a person likes. I'm not thrilled by the screen but it's all good! Hell.........as long as I can talk , surf the net and use GPS I am cool with that!
This phone is awesome but why did AT&T make the edges sharp.. I guess to make it look more distinctive? I prefer the soft round edges like the iphone.
do you know how much internal memory this phone has? i know the t mobile version (vibrant) comes loaded with 16 gb's. also will media hub cost anything?
@Aperson214 july 18th. there is this thing on the internet called "google." u can type stuff in like "samsung captivate release date" and it will give u the answer. it's awesome. try it out.
i LOVE samsung's products.. this phone looks fantastic there's only 1 thing that is holding me back is i can't use a phone that doesn't have a qwerty keyboard. I currently have the Impression and have had it since release and works perfect for me, now i'm still not to impressed with this new android OS but if you really need alllll that extra stuff on your phone you're better off just buying a laptop...
@AoiMitsuko ikr. the samsung epic/ samsung galaxy s on sprint is th only one with the physical qwerty keyboard. and anyways yu can just keep practicing by using yr impressions touch qwerty keyboard. i used to have the impression.. but it broke..
@XxEmmJayxX erm what r u talkin about the imprssion does have a physical slide out keyboard o.O u totally lost me on that reply btw.. i dunno what ikr means lol i love my impression, and i like most of samsungs products :) regardless of what network they are on
@AoiMitsuko yes i kno th the impression has a slide out keyboard, but yu said yu werent used to phones tht were non-slide out keyboard fones, so i was saying , if yu wanted to change to phone with no slide out like this one, i was saying yu can just practice on the impressions TOUCH keyboard..yu know wht i mean? and "ikr" means "i know right?" lmao. ;)
@XxEmmJayxX oooooh ok lol xD its not that i'm not "used" to not having one, i just don't like taking the risk of destroying my phone because of the amount i txt... using the display for that only my phones would be replaced probably every 6 months because of display issues lol
@Vincers97, ATT requires a smartphone plan now (with the purchase of a smartphone). You'll be paying for data no matter what, unless you buy an unlocked phone and drop your SIM in.
@Vincers97 well actually in addition in what pgaeta2 said, yu still have to pay for data since it's a smartphone no matter wht, but since now yu can get the 200 mb for 15$ (or unlimited for 30$, but yu have to call for the unlimited plan) they said if yu use wifi, it will not take any data from yr 200 mb yu only have. but since yu dont wanna pay for the media net.. it would still be cheaper than the unlimited of course, aand yu can just use the 200 mb when yr not at a wifi hot spot (duhh).
@ZooTycoonMaster Yes, but if you've never tried Skype I recommend you give it a chance. There's a small learning curve, but once you figure it out it's a blast.
@ZooTycoonMaster I believe from what I've read you can choose from three different keyboards, one of which is the swype keyboard. So in other words, yes, you can type on it the old fashioned way too.
and aside from missing the front camera, camera flash and wimax, which are all of the phones except the Sprint Epic 4g, I like the Captivate the best.
@raydar670 ya.. all this 3G network stuff and ATT is too scared to let anyone use it with out nickle and dimming them..
The AMOLED screens are crap too.. works awesome inside.. try and look at the screen outside in sunlight and you cant see a thing. My friend has it on his Nexus1. You have to turn up full brightness to see it.. Good bye battery.
Dear Samsung. Why you guys let AT&T fucked up the Captivate? I mean no FLASH or Front facing camera. And the hard ware don't look like the other Galaxy S from Verizon, T-Mobile. I will pass on this ANDROID. Won't be getting it for my next upgrade. Sorry guys but the hard ware don't look like the other three.
@mrjlwilliams you are right, this phone is not the bizness, at least IMO. im not digging the sharp-ish corner. cant wait for the 15th to get here so i can get my hands on the Vibrant and see if whether or not i should get it.
@mrjlwilliams True, T-Mobile's looks the best but you SERIOUSLY put that much stock in how it looks? I don't dislike the look...I do wish we got the sprint version with the slide out keyboard though!!
naw im just excited and im just sayin stupid shit they both look good and both are great phones but i hate how they had to be different i actually liked the original galaxy s
