Great phone

I really like this phone. Granted, I use if more as a computer than phone but that is just me. The only problem I have had is Force Closing. Apparently the upgrade will fix that and I will soon find out. I can't wait for the GalaxzyS 2. But I do like this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outside of the "random power off during standby" issue, I absolutely LOVE this phone.
I have had this phone for almost 2 months now, and it works great. I've had only one or two lockups, but overall it has been far more reliable than most other smartphones including the iPhone.
coming from blackberry this phone is really amazing great features very good graphics and decent battery life. the phone sets up really easy and has great functionality, excellent email and messaging, the only bummer was no flash for the camera but the camera works great! droid market cant be beat for applications.
My wife has a Captivate and I was going to wait for the Attain (GSii) but decided to try the Captivate out myself. The phone has a very good screen but I found the battery to not be able to last a full 6 hours on a golf course running a golf gps app. I have also found that I was not able to use it in my vehicle with a nav app even if it was plugged into the vehicle charger. The battery drained slower than if not plugged in but over an 8 hour day it did drain to 1%. I am thinking of exchaning the phone and if the next one is the same, I will have to go another route.
