Samsung Captivate is Awesome Android smartphone for AT&T customers

Great phone, slim and the display is great 4 in.

, bigger than the Iphone. Very fast processor and with a 16 g SD card probably faster. Android market has soo many free apps it's ridiculous. Great display nice and bright, you can notice it outside on brightest setting. Call quality is pretty good, loud speaker with even better sound with the ear-buds on. Love the Swipe keyboard! Once you get the hang of Swipe you won't go back to regular texting. Wifi enabled so i don't have to use all of data use from my plan.

Only negatives is no flash on camera, home buttons at the bottom of Samsung logo are a little hard to press at times, only get one day of use out of the battery better install Task Killer and invest in car charger. Overall great phone, big screen display but very thin makes it comfortable in your hand or pocket. Android 2.2 upgrade is coming which will make the phone even more responsive and fast.

I've been holding off my upgrade for a while waiting for the next iphone (iphone4) or android to hit ATT. I went to the ATT store early this morning to finally decide between the iphone 4 and the captivate. I loved the feel of both units, but the captivate's curved body feels sleaker in the hand. While I was very impressed with crispness of the iphone screen; I powered on the captivate and I was even more blown away by the vibrance of the super AMOLED screen. I have spent all day playing around with the phone and have not noticed any sluggishness whatsoever; which was something I feared when looking through online reviews..

I mean c'mon it has the fastest processor out there. Also I read a blog that was spreading a rumor that the Galaxy S phones have a death grip like the iphone 4.. this is completely false as I live in New York where the iphone 4 has problems and have not been able to replicate the effect using multiple grips. So in conclusion I can't say that the phone is an iphone killer for sure.. but it is in my book. It all comes down to personal preferance. I have used the iphone os before and compared to the customizability of Android it comes off as old, locked-to-a-grid and bland. For your referance, I'm 20 years old; and I'm loving where ATT is going with android.

Things I've noticed:

Doesn't have computer software support yet, unless you search for the Samsung Kies software on your own. It detects my device and is compatible. At first I thought that the USB wouldn't snuggly fit the phone but then I realized that I didn't open the sliding door all the way. But it fits perfectly fine when it is open.. my bad.

The ATT stock apps can not be deleted from the apps menu, but they can be removed from the home screens. It kind of increases the number of items in the menu by alot, but atleast some of those apps I might actually use.

Updates:

You can download full office productivity suite in the Android Marketplace for FREE. It is called "quickoffice for captivate," and it syncs with your Google docs account and dropbox. I think that it is only free for certain phones as it is named "quickoffice for captivate" on my phone, but on my friend's droid it reads just quickoffice and costs around 10 bucks.

I love using this phone for taking video, in good light of course ;). The sound quality comes through very clear as long as you don't block the mic at the bottom.
