Thank you, was looking at the captivate but damn no third party apps, think it can be hacked to allow 3rd party apps?
What if I want a phone, that just works.. The apple commercials say everything is so simple.. I just want something reliable... Being bound into a 2 year contract isnt fun with a ****** phone.
I don't think they OP cares about your opinion on getting a case. If they want to return their phone and ask for suggestions then let them be.
Has it been confirmed no 3rd party apps yet? or are people just speculating based on AT&T's history with android devices?
It will allow third party apps. You just have to get them through the Android Marketplace. While I don't know this for sure, but I think there will eventually be a way around this.
why make such a sexy phone and tell people to put it in a case, Common that's just stupid and bad marketing,
will you buy a sports car and drive it like a Prius?
I don't know, as I have never owned an Android phone. maflynn would be able to answer this.
Another round of android phones may be coming out this Christmas with dual core chips. At the very least they will have new hardware of some sort. You could just reactivate your old phone and wait a little while.
I bought a Nexus One from Google... of course the first thing I did with it is put it in a case.
After shattering the screen on my iPhone 2G two years ago when it slipped out of my pocket
in a parking lot, not putting a phone in a good case just seems crazy to me. I'll be curious
to see how many people suddenly decide that putting a nice case on an iPhone4 isn't such a
big deal once they've experienced Android
I'll be picking up a White iPhone4 once they become available.

I like the way my iPhone 4 looks in a case. I dont understand why this is a big deal. Its like a $20 investment that will keep the phone safe, allow you to sell it for more, and fix the reception issue. I didnt even like how if felt without a case because the non-rounded edges are much less comfortable and I always felt like the glass was going to slip through my fingers.
I would try a case on it to see if you dont mind it. Btw, I never used a case in 2 years with the iphone 3g because it seemed bulky but with the new phone its still pretty small even with case.

On AT&T right now the only other phone I would consider is the palm pre plus, but the hardware isn't as nice as the iPhone. The captivate and aria seem to have good hardware, but then you'd be using android, not sure if that's what you want to use comin from the iPhone. I'm kinda in the same boat, I want to return my now, but there just isn't anything else out there on AT&T that would I would consider better.
I get most of my Apps by the marketplace but I have installed apps from websites as well, so there are cases where some applications (for what ever reason) is not in the market place.
If you do want a Captivate, go look it over well first and make sure the screen is acceptable for you. I have an EVO now and was pretty concerned it was going to be outclassed by the Epic 4g. I went in and compared it to the T-mobile Vibrant (same hardware) and while the screen was visually gorgeous, text on web pages when zoomed out was harder to read. Meanwhile the same thing on my Evo was very sharp and readable. It's a small peeve that I don't think most will care about, but it was enough that I am satisfied with my choice. I don't think Super-AMOLED is quite ready to replace LCD, but the colors do look amazing.
nothin as good imo, when to comes to surfing the net and app store or and fun.
only down is the phone side which if the call drops you just ring back :/ and if you return a this fantastic device because to can not be @ssed ringing people back then i think you need to look at yourself and not the phone.
bite your nose off to spite your face comes to mind with it if you ask me.
to goods far far out weigh the bad!
going to say this again because it is TRUE!

Do you guys realize if you swap to another smartphone on ATT you will lose your unlimited plan and have to choose 200 or 2gb. At least that's what the rep told me.
This is what I am using and I've been happy so far (this is my first iPhone!).
