I've have exclusively used the iPhone since '07. I have owned every model. I am huge Apple Fanboy, but I honestly used the Captivate for about a day and it is amazing. I was asked if it was an iPhone killer to which I replied, "no, but it is an iPhone Brawler" Meaning, it can definitely hold its own against the iPhone... Picture quality is amazing, video quality is amazing, screen quality is amazing. Yes the iPhone beats it due to the Retina Display but the Captivate is the first phone since '07 that can actually compare to and compete with the iPhone and be considered a worthy contender....
