"THIS PHONE IS AMAZING!!!!!!"
5.0 starson by bden72Pros: Great Screen
Android Operating System 2.1
Thin and Lightweight
Voice to Text
Android Market (Better That Apps on Apple In My Opinion)
Very Good Battery for All It DoesCons: Apps Run Even If You Think You Have Closed Them (Just Download Apps Killer for Free)
Summary: This is of course just all my opinion, but here it goes . . .
This phone is a must have. Why would anyone want an iPhone 4 instead of this as this is pretty much open source and has very similar features. I personally don't get the love affair with Apple. My wife has an iPhone 3Gs and my Galaxy is a way better device. Also, Apple dropped the ball on the iPhone 4 and offers a free case to make device work properly? How about recalling the device and fixing it. If I bought the device and was later told that I will be given a free case to make it work, I would return it to the store. In the past, there were limited alternatives, but Samsung and Google have produced a winner. I have had a Treo, two Blackberrys and use my wife's iPhone and it is no contest.
This is the best handset/PDA I have ever seen and used. This is a grandslam. Even though the flash, FM radio and forward facing camera have been disabled, this is still a winner!
PLEASE READ THIS -- IF FOR SOME REASON YOUR BATTERY APPEARS TO NOT BE HOLDING A CHARGE, YOU MAY JUST HAVE A BAD BATTERY. THIS WAS THE CASE WITH ME. SWAPPED OUT THE PHONE AND BATTERY LASTS A LONG TIME. ALSO, DOWNLOAD FOR FREE FROM THE ANDROID APPS MARKET "APPS KILLER" IT WILL SAVE YOUR BATTERY LIFE A LOT.

I would not knock Apple for the free case to make their phone work. The Captivate needs apps like Keep Alive and app killer to make it work right to.

Holding a charge issue: If the Samsung Captivate does not hold a charge at some point and seems to be getting rather warm, try opening the unit and re-positioning the battery. Often the lithium battery is not bad, but the gold contact pins are not meeting flush for charging. Once re-positioned firmly and squarely in the unit it will work fine in most cases. I wouldn't trade this for any iPhone.

Do you think this Captivate would be hard conversion for someone who has used blackberry for years? How does it sync with Outlook?
