  • I've had dozens of phones over the years, expensive ones, cheap ones and I've never broke one from dropping or throwing one yet. It's a cell phone, they are pretty sturdy!

    it's rlly cute and cool

  • i have the captivate... it's awesome, once i droped my phone 10 times in 1 day and it only got damage like the one on the captivate in the vid it never break :0

  • I have a captivate it is a pretty good phone like he said but a lot of times my screen goes blank out of nowhere while i am using it or it frezes and then i have to shut it down and the apps and games are pretty bad on the android market unless u have like $8 to spend on one game.

  • The brightness isn't all the way up. I doubt it was even at half

  • smh the reason the text is less readable on the captivate is because its zoomed out more than the iphone

  • i have the captivate and i thought everybody was going to say iphone is better, but now i know the i have a better phone than most of my freinds.

  • im waiting for the captivate, I sold my iphone 3g cuz I don't wanna mess with itunes anymore

  • Captavate is better. More customizable with out havin to jailbreak, or root it.

  • i will stick to instagram, itunes and appstore

  • u have the capativee phone , whatever you do TASK MANAGER will be your bestfriend. lol make sure you clear taks because it will get froze.

  • @MsKarAndy Hah no fetish was just trying to be funny. I have a Captivate and wanted to see a real life size comparison cause I'm thinking about going to the apple-side and am not sure if I'll like the smaller screen size.

  • Hey Ugly Hands, they need to replace you with a hand model!

  • if i put my sim from the phone im using now in this phone will it work (im thinking of buying the captivate from a friend)

  • dude your so cool you have two phones

  • Why can't we all just get along? Captivate and ipod touch. See? Problem solved.

  • OK everyone is saying the captivate has a worse battery than the iphone 4. well, that's not true. How i know that is you are talking to a person who has had both. the only reason the captivate doesnt last long is because everyone always has thier screen brightness settings so damn bright. If you want the best of your captivate, turn the brightness. It's not gonna kill you. will it

  • The Captivate doesn't even have a flashlight. SUCKS/

  • @CookieAnimagus .....

    buy a flashlight dick!

  • @CookieAnimagus how many times do you REALLY need a flashlight....ever since smartphones have been invented i feel like everyone thinks we're gonna have a goddamn blackout every 5 minute -___-

  • iPhone looks waaaaaay better. But I don't care for the internet on the iPhone at all. And the App Store isn't as good as the Android Store.

  • Comment removed

  • iphones are so gay >.>

  • I actually have noticed that the captivate on normal usage doesn't get much battery life at all iPhone I think has better battery

  • @machomaniac2323

    Well if you'd actually read the comment I was responding to, you would notice that I was responding to a person that said iPhones DON'T have bluetooth...

  • Iphones

  • Yeaa they have bluetooth but it dont support sendin files

  • What's the battery Life like on a Captivate running only 3G , Social Networks , moderate youtube and playing music ?

  • I've had my chances to get an iPhone but I simply dont want one cause they dont hold memory cards and dont have bluetooth! I love my Captivate, its awesome, GET A CAPTIVATE INSTEAD OF AN iPHONE!! :)

  • @Katherine8957 iPhones have bluetooth...

  • @Katherine8957 The iPhone does have Bluetooth,but I agree GET THE CAPTIVATE,it's free yes FREE with a contract on AT&T.com

  • With one and u think its good to much of a headache for me I dnt have the captavaite my girl dose and it way better then her brothers iPhone 4 even he says it but my phone is better thn both hands down android wins every time p.s I have the (evo)

  • Ok I see tht all the people who are saying the iPhone is better is just a fad chaser let's b serious iPhone OS system dnt compare thy dnt have a flash player if u wnt music have have to down load for I tunes if u have an update u need a comp I have had all 4 iphones and thy are all the same apps and and looks thy might change one thing come on thy had to make 4 diff ones b4 thy finaly put a flash on the cam iPhone is way behind the times thr not even 4g yet and they made 4 come on u see a rapper

  • why does it say Galaxy S when its a captivate, someone explain to me please!!

  • @NguyenEmpir3 The Galaxy S is the line of phones for the different carriers For Example Sprint has the Samsung Epic 4g as their Galaxy S phone etc.

  • Snickers, Yum...

  • If the Captivate gives the iPhone a run for it's money. then the Samsung Galaxy S2 just annhilates every smartphone on the market!

  • @CheckOutMySubs Are you Gay?

  • captivate =awosome

  • Captivate for me, definitely!

  • Me I am going with the captivate

  • saving up for the captivate :D

  • Getting a iPhone 4 on monday :D, gotta love the beautiful, easy to use iPhone.

    Just like apples first ads, "You already know how to use it" - applies to all Apple products

  • Thumbs up if captivate won

    

  • i phone is too much money for other people first of all the captivate is $50

  • captivate is way better shut up

  • Look, Everyone has there own opinions, and I think no one should say which phone is better. Because you're just making other people feel bad, like they're decisions are the wrong ones. Some people like iPhone, some like Captivate. But Neither of those choices matter. So please stop thumbing up comments like Get the Captivate. THX FOR WHO WOULD LISTEN!!

  • @Gina889Stardoll but the captivate is better..

  • @Gina889Stardoll who do you work for, BlackBerry?

  • @Gina889Stardoll in other words captivate wins

  • I wanna choose between captivate and htc Facebook share which should I choose?

  • @PinoyKidX456 - i would definitely get the captivate

  • I don't like iPhones any more just iPods cuz I'm gunna get a captivate my first phone

  • bitch, i don't have that iPhone money...

  • @SuperTutorialgeek did you know what to do with your jailbreak?

  • @SuperTutorialgeek not true iphones suck if their not jailbroken, and why would you call the iphone shit? do you have one can you compare? no i have an iphone and ive had an android the iphone is better:)

    look up jailbreaking. just for 30 minutes you'll get interested:) next time you talk crap talk to a real iphone user;)

  • Captivate is better. Enough said.

    

  • @jMonster397 actually don't get the advanced app killer it will destroy your battery life. Just found out today. Haha I realized I fed you false information and felt badbad

  • @theJmonster397 mine will last through the day but talking on it does drain the battery. if you get it get the advanced app killer off the marketplace because the apps will back run and kill your battery. the iphone 4 has a better battery by a mile but id still pick captivate.

  • I had the choice to get the Samsung Infuse, I Phone Phone 4, and Samsung Captivate. AND overall The captivate is thebest.

  • @OfficalChancer The infuse is much better

  • @Lawagoalie35 no its actually not. Its EXTREAMLY oversized and it is really expensive considering in less than 2 weeks a new phone is coming out better than infuse

  • @OfficalChancer You're right, the Samsung Infuse is extremely oversized. That's why I decided not to get it a month ago. So I got the Captivate instead. And then I downloaded Go Launcher with it a week ago. It's fantastic!

  • fuck them both if your gonna spend 200 on a iphone 4 fck the captivate get the samsung infuse┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

  • Get the captivate

  • @ruckafan555 if your gay

  • I am getting a new phone in like a week Im deciding between captivate and the iphone what one should I get?

  • Comment removed

  • @Bazzinga546 CAPTIVATE

  • @Bazzinga546 YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT

  • When I flip my captivate horizontal it doesn't automatically go into the disc view; instead I have to hit menu and then disc view. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated

  • if the captivate had a iphone label on it everyone noes theyd say the captivate is better ha.

  • Really ? Why make a video when the WHOLE WORLD all ready knows iPhone 4 is better.

  • @CoD819 umm really the whole world? read the comments on this video, then go to the youtube search bar and type in captivate vs iphone4 and read the comments for them too, ignorant biased idiot...

  • @CoD819

    you've been hypnotised by apple...omg...

  • @TAXES234 ok?.....

  • @CoD819

    lol the HTC thunderbolt is outselling the iPhone 4

  • captivate no contest.

  • I've dropped my captivate so many times and its never cracked. it's a sturdy phone.

  • @ericasthename How much you pay it?

  • Smartphone Screen Cleaning Tip: Ok, does anyone here think their smartphone screen is dirty and covered in fingerprints. well there is only one thing you need to do in order to keep your screen looking clean.

    Step 1: Get a soft and dry cloth.

    Step 2: Dampen the cloth.

    Step 3: Gently wring out the cloth.

    Step 4: Wipe your screen off gently and carefully.

    Step 5: Dry your screen of any other water patches to prevent damaging water spots to your screen.

  • why the fuck every time a phone comes out you fucking idiots have to compare it to an iphone

  • I had both phones. iPhone is way better!! Don't be fooled. I hate android OS! Only good about Android is more free apps.

  • @medictim thats your opinion...

  • 50 People disliked this review because he didn't favor their phone (captivate)

  • A rooted Captivate is LIMITLESS

  • The button on the iphone is FUCKING ugly

  • I was "captivated" by the vibrant colors. :)

  • All around the captivate is better because the android system is better then the pos iPhone but u can't compare it with the iPhone 4 cuz it has a flash and a front cam but if u want compare the iPhone 4 with the evo or epic which have a flash and a front facing cam the I phone loses every time any one who buys iPhone over android is gay

  • @bmike820 do you know what jailbreaking is you can completely bend your firmware on your iphone you can do anything if you jailbreak jailbreaking adds in a file that removes the restriction to download third party applications... so you can download anything that apple disapproves. yes android is better if the iphone isnt jailbroken, but if it is it's far ahead:) with dualboot (boot lace and open iboot)

    you can reboot into android software!! android gingerbread 2.2 to be exact:)

  • @ritljo android 2.2 is called Froyo. Gingerbread is 2.3.

  • @TheMagicman430 lol i know i wrote wrong

  • @bmike820 So, you can't agree any other opinion that is different to yours? Seriously, shut up.

  • @bmike820 you make a good argument until you use terms like "pos" and "gay", then you just sound infantile. And then it just makes your statements invalid. :)

  • captivate lasts 1.5 days on battery my ass!

  • Ok wtf why does the EU version (galaxy S) look like crap compared to that captivate? WTF???

  • here is a summary of this video.

     Samsung Captivate is better than iphone 4

  • Did that to my fascinate alot less laggy

  • Root your captivate

  • iphone is more reliable.

  • @gabriellep1108 how?

  • I dont recomend the captivate. It freezes up often and it can be really jerky. Also when I turn it on it take about 5 minutes before i can start using it. For my birthday i am definatly switching to the iphone 4!

  • @Jessiegirl012

    You got a bad captivate then, mine boots in under a minute every time. Never freezes.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate when the person doing the review likes one phone more then the other so they put the other phone down!..

  • im getting my iphone 4 in a few hours!! cant wait!

  • btw at&t is to blame for removing the front facing camera.( which was on the actual unlocked galaxy s i9000.) ~sent from my captivate.

  • the only thing that the iphone 4 has over the captivate is a led flash and a front facing camera.~sent from my captivate.

  • I love the Captivate, i just got it a few days ago

  • That sounded like a Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Focus to be specific) at 0:29....

  • the samsung captivate is SO much more custimizable than the iPhone 4. i mean you can really make it your own...take that apple!

  • captivate is better hands down. has more shit than the iphone!

  • Im getting a captivate but my sis has an iphone 4 and she lets me use it all the time so I cant really choose which is better because the iphone4 is really awesome  but I like the captivate cuz the screen is bigger. But there both REALLY great phones.

  • I must say that

    Yeah the iphone is great and all no arguement about it with the jailbreaking and all

    But the thing is with the samsung captive is that theres much to it than the iphone

    You could also jailbreak the samsung captive but dont really have to considering the fact that most of all the apps are free

    So i must say that i take my side with the samsung

    I have an iphone but sold it cause of the samsung captive

  • Tbh. I have the Captivate. I LOVE it. My brother has the Iphone, I LOVE it too haha I honestly don't see wtf these people are talking about. I told him to get the Iphone just so I could compare them. I don't see how you could say one's far better than the other.

  • The video is biased, but I love my Captivate. I will never touch Apple with a ten foot pole. I have been impressed with Samsung's quality as I have owned their Eternity cell phone and three of their MP3 players. All work great and are better quality than Apple. Android and not iAnything for life!

  • iphone is for adolscent people who want to listen to music and play games if you want a real phone get the captivate the power will blow the iphone out of the water ive actually have had ppl with i phones trying to get me to put a custom android rom on there device. ppl dont waste your money on a device that cant do nothing. ANDROID ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

  • i just payed $28 dollars for a captivate with a 2 year agreement at walmart!!! Try doin that with ur i phone 4!!

  • I find that the samsung captivate micro sd card and the 16gb of storage makes the samsung captivate a better choice alos the samsung captivate is free when you upgrade at target lol

  • I find that the samsung captivate micro sd card and the 16gb of storage makes the samsung captivate a better choice

  • well apple is good when it comes to laptop's but they suck at phones

  • i want the captivate..

  • love how one of the last things to be mentioned for review is its call quality... nobody uses their smartphones for calling anymore!!!

  • iphonnes breakk

    really eassyy

    i meann theyy

    r by no meanns nice

    but highly breakabble (never had ethher of these phhones, Just epic nd i dropped it 2timmes still perfect)

  • i hate it when the top rated coment is a responce to another coment and you feel inclined to go looking through all the coments to find the original

  • @ArtBoy3000 lmfao i know right?

  • He is clearly an apple fanboy!

  • Very helpful video, thank you!

  • Hey Guys can you help me out by subscribing? I have tech reviews and giveaways! thanks!

  • you guys need to watch lonelyboy323 channel for info about 2.3, rumors, and info on many other android topics.

  • i think i am going to be getting the captivate very soon (as in tomorrow) as a first smart phone. From everything i am researching about this phone it is easy to tell that if you want a more customization abled phone then you would want to go with a android base setting. Thus i love the ability to make changes to keep it interesting. Iphone 4 would be a way better phone if you have a less technology savvy person.

  • i used the samsung and i think its a slightly better phone but im getting the iphone 4 since i already know how to use it cause i have an ipod and its simple with itunes an everything.

  • clear straight forward review. Thank you!

  • how do you "accidentally" dropped both phones?

  • This man is like an iphone 4 fan you how when the captivate is better on something he saids its quakly better and when the iphone 4 is better he saids it way better and shit smh

  • GET‵‵.A,‵`IPHONE◜'`FREE◜,,

    www․IPHONE4UFREE․TK

    

  • I like that the Captivate is not a Flash crippled phone like the iphone. Apple screwed up again being protectionist. There are many that are angry over this.

  • Lol he sounded like a iPhone fan I'm not I hate the iPhones they so boring android devices are amazing I'm getting the sanding captivate at the end of the month

  • the glass might break if you break it, no SHIT!!!

  • why would you drop your phone?

  • Wtf the captivate does have video calling... How do u mess that up?

  • Nice presentation.

    I want to upgrade my 6 yo nokia 3220b. I've never changed the battery and I only need to recharge it about once a week.

    These two are supposed to be on the top of the line but I was kind of shocked hearing the comparaison of 1day vs 1day 1/2.

  • this mans voice is unbelievably irritating.

  • @muncher541 holy shit you are so right man! I am ill and thought that because my ears are so blocked that would be the reason but seriously man it feels so weird listening to him doesn't it?

  • I like the iPhone because video chat is a nice option, but I use my phone for a ton of music and movies, so the MicroSD slot makes the Captivate the winner for me.

  • I'm sort of pissed at phone companies. Sure there are places where the Captivate outdoes Apple, but there is a reason. These other companies simply see where Apple went wrong, and work on improving that. Analogy; imagine hiking through a dense, thick, untraveled forest (technological innovation). Now imagine hiking through there after a steamroller (Apple) has passed through it. The path more traveled is the easier path, right?

    Planning decisions about language skills and sub-skills are co-dependent with the content of the lesson and with the activities which the teachers will get students to take part in.

  • amoled is a better panel

  • I would buy the iPhone 4 but I have my iPad and iPod touch and I want something fresh and new because iOS is starting to bore me...

  • Which screen is better the super amoled display or the retina display

  • @spilknoob Original doesn't mean it's best though. There are many examples of hardware and software manufacturers who originally created something and was quickly surpassed by another company. If what I have read is true, these two phones (hardware) are actually made in the same factory by the same people (not sure which way round though) and Android are quickly out rating iphones os. The samsung does lag a fair bit though, after having it for a few weeks. Still prefer over iphone however.

  • This review has its flaws.

    The guy says he can tell a 29fps video recording vs 30fps video recording, which is quite funny cause in the video the iphone4 was the one lagging.

    He also says many contradicting comments about camera quality & direct comparison of the pics ONSCREEN. i4's pics designed to look good on its own display. How about easily removable/replaceable sim/sd/battery/ and transfer of files using micro usb on ANY computer with out the use of ITUNES & a huge price difference.
