I was overwhelmed by this phone and its features. I was a big fan of the Android OS and wanted a phone that I could personalize and use productivly. I can get the Apps I want and need to make it a productive work phone and have a great looking cell phone as well. The size and durability was a great plus for my decision. The screen is vertually scratch-free and the graphics and speed are unmatchable! I only wished I waited for the Galaxy S II, but am greatly satisfied with my purchase of the Galazy S I. The Movie quality and game graphics are awesome as well!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keeps turning itself off even with full battery charge. Have missed several calls and cannot use it as a reliable alarm clock because it powers itself off. Piece of junk!!! You get what you pay for.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Battery life
on August 12, 2010
Posted by: Exiphoneuser
I bought this phone about 2 weeks ago and am in love with it if you are having problems wit battery life go to the android market and search for "task manager" by rhythm software and when you are done downloading it touch and hold on a free space on your home screen a box will pop up tht says add to homescreen click on the android widgets scroll down till u see task manger touch it and a widget will be added every time you are down using an app touch it and it quits the processes since android phones are multitaskin this will be necessary to preserve battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

samsung captivate galaxy s
on October 28, 2010
Posted by: gorgy

have this phone for 5 days now. my initial impression is that it seems to be of good quality in fit and finish, it is light, thin and pack with great features however the battery could last a little longer and a little lag with some application was experienced but not always (even a pc is not immune to this) maybe this can be managed with future software update as maybe it's software related. The 5 mp camera also takes decent shot and the high def camcorder also comes in handy. Well this is an excellent mini computer phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery hugger, a little lag when running some application
I would recommend this to a friend!

Power Reliability Poor
on April 7, 2011

Expertise:Expert
This phone turns itself off at least 10x a day. With it being my only phone, this is unacceptable with no advice on how to keep it powered on. Battery life is short as well.
Aside from the above I love the phone!
I would highly recommend if they get the power off issue fixed!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, powers off constantly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
