My phone and several others that I have found.... This phone will just turn it's self off and you have to remove the battery before it will come back on... Very disappointed
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this phone.

I've had this phone for about two weeks now, and I love it. The Super AMOLED screen is probably the best display I have ever seen, and since the screen size 4" its makes for a great texting device. Battery runs down fast if you are using it heavily for a long period of time, but day-to-day use it does fine. Camera takes beautiful pictures and does a great job recording HD videos. The phone is very fast when surfing the web or doing anything on your phone. Android definitely beats any other operating system out there.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, camera, battery life, speed, texting, tools
Cons: no led flash, no front facing camera, no froyo yet

The Galaxy S will not play adobe flash player. This phone has other issues as well. Another premature release. I believe its time to give the iphone a go!
If you are thinking about trying this phone...dont. Not even for a dollar.

This is a great phone although it has some cons. The locking back panel is great. It has some lag when Multi-tasking but, other than that it is still fast. The OS is a little behind now that 3.0 is coming. Battery life lasts a little longer than expected, which is great. The screen is just amazing overall.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, internal memory
Cons: led flash, front facing camera, touchwiz, os

Hi
I cannot express my enthusiasm to do proper justice to Samsung on their Captivate handset!!
It is literally light years ahead of my previous phone and friends phones.
