Screen too big, phone too big, phone is not an iPhone 4. That is all.
Based on this post, I'd say it's been a while for ya.People were masturbating over the Droid, then the Nexus One, then the Incredible, then the EVO, the Droid X then the Captivate, all within 6 months. They're all essentially the same. If I wasn't interested in Android phones before, I'm probably not going to be now.
I'm getting a bit tired of countless threads talking about iPhone "killers" and how they make you jizz in the pants. There has been as many "killers" as there are months.
They're great phones, I'm not denying that, but they're not really bringing anything new to the table. People masturbate over how open and how awesome the future Android OS is going to be (Froyo this and Gingerbread that).
Yeah right. You'll have to upgrade your phone every 6 months at the least to keep up with all the software updates. No thanks!
Actually, Google is planning to address that in the near future.
Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it.
They already tried with the Nexus One. Guess what? They aren't following it up with a Nexus "Two."
It just doesn't captivate me to be honest.
I own the Iphone 4 and I love it, I am however finding myself intrigued by the Samsung Captivate. I think it sucks there is no camera flash but in all honesty, I rarely use my phone camera and even more rare to use it in the dark.
Besides that, I do love me some iOS and the design of Apples Iphone. I don't have any issues (even though I can recreate the signal deal) though I do think Apple is being ridiculous. I'm also hesitant to give up the Retina display, but Super AMOLED is no slouch is it?
My work phone is a Droid Eris which is a poky sample of Android OS. I don't know, I think I'm just looking for someone to talk me out of the Captivate once and for all.
The phone comes out Monday and I have until July 23rd (my birthday) to decide.
Help!

The phone comes out Sunday
Friday could be the deciding day.![]()
I just got my phone 2 days ago and the speaker is out. Spent two hours on the phone with support with no luck. Taking it to the Apple store today so thay can look at. If they don't have any replacements in stock, ATT has already said they will take back the 4 back with a 10% restocking fee and I can get the captive.
I also noticed the reception issue on my 4, and my wife's 3gs drops a lot of calls. I think Toyota and Apple have the same quality control departments.
I like the flash on the camera for the iphone and i saw some comparisons the 4 and the Captivate on utube. The 4 seemed smoother. All my friends have iphones and they can give advice on apps and other iphone stuff. This is nice as it makes learning these devices easier. I would also prefer to buy from an American company vs Korean.
That being said the Captivate has that big 4" screen which for my older eyes would be sweet. I also like the openess of Android. Steve's rants on Flash are stupid and his I want to rule the world are going to be his ruin again as Android adoption soars.
It's probably going to come down to the Apple store having a replacement in stock. If they don't, it will be off to the ATT store to pick up my new Captivate, assuming they have them in stock
I don't think you'll have to pay the restocking fee at AT&T.
