Great Android OS phone!

I have to say this phone is pretty amazing. the only qualms I have about it is that I can't sync my phone to my computer. As I hook up my USB cord to the computer, the computer searches endlessly for the drivers. I let the computer run for 4 hours and it never found anything. I've looked up information online about syncing and it appears it is virtually impossible. I wish I had known this about the phone before purchasing, as I had planned on using the camera a lot (awesome quality camera) beautiful images.... and using the MP3 player as well. Other than that.... the phone is great. With it being android OS, it comes with multiple apps or you can download from the market. I am hoping I can find other ring tones to install, as there are only a few on the phone... but I can get by with what is on there. The battery life is fair, if you leave the background data running it does consume the battery life rather quickly. I fine I can go almost 2 days without charging, and that is with fairly minimal usage. I don't facebook or youtube from the phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: syncing problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

A pretty good phone overall, except the bottom soft keys don't work all of the time.

The ATT captivate phone works very well overall. the soft keys on the bottom tend not to work very well. I dont know if its soft ware relatted or if its the buttons themselves. everyone else in my family has HTC phones. I wish I would have followed suit.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
