I have found this phone to be the easiest to use in the android family also the on screen help has been more than informative. Samsung has really hit a mark in excellence. Not to mentioned in a broad market like the cell phone bussiness the competition has made Samsung not only keep up but surpass many competitors.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery, lack of quicker updates, finger print magnetic

Side by side comparison to the Iphone 4 was the key element in making this purchase. The enormous Super AMOLED screen dwarfed the Iphone. The display is absolutely brilliant. The integrated social networking apps are flawless with twitter,facebook and myspace. And the expandable SD card slot makes the storage incredibly large compared to other phones.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, expandable sd card slot
Cons: Not high def, no flash for camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

The only flaw I have with this phone is the location of the power button, I understand that they didn't wanna look like iPhone copy-cats but the power button is much better on top of the phone. Also the phone would be a lot easier to use while charging if the power connection location was on the bottom of the phone, I find that it feels like the power cord pulls away too hard when talking on it while it's charging.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, thin design
Cons: screen not high enough resolution, no flash

Awesome Phone, A strong Apple iPhone competitor!!

I owned an iPhone and was tired of being held hostage by apple and the app store. In order to be able to use specific features i had to either suck it up and not have them or jailbreak it.
So.....I researched the Samsung captivate and went with it. What i have found is that not only can i utilize features that were once only available by jail breaking, but I can get most of the apps that were on the app store on the android market, with a few exceptions like Netflix and Tom Tom it is great., The phone has a bright and crystal clear AMOLED touch screen which is very responsive no real lag. A 5 megapixel camera although a Flash would have been nice but not a necessity. I think i also miss the front facing camera, but i am sure that will come out with newer versions of the phone.
Now i know that you hardcore Apple fans would most likely disagree but as a former Apple owner I see this phone once tweaked a little will far surpass the iPhone in not only sales but in overall performance, options. My hats are off to you designers at Samsung. Congrats on a job well done.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, same apps mostly as the app store.
Cons: no flash or front facing camera
