AT&T gets its high-end Android phone with the Samsung Captivate
Share:
As we have told you, the Galaxy S is destined to become available on all four major U.S. carriers. We recently reported that a leaked picture of the device shows that Sprint will be getting the "Pro" variant of the phone which features a physical QWERTY keyboard. Other pictures we've shown you indicate that the Galaxy S Pro could become Sprint's second 4G enabled handset later this summer. T-Mobile is expected to launch the Galaxy S, possibly as soon as July 21st. Samsung is holding a big press conference on June 29th and we might learn more about the device and its launch schedule at that time.

epic fail... oh what like the droid incredible is such an excellent phone with all its non-glory.. why be such a tool fanboy and epic fail anything that doesn't have vzw intitials stamped on it. what do you want it to do... float like a hoverboard from back to the future while sling-boxing all your crap-tastic 80's power ballads to your ipad connected to a verizon mifi cause you're 'cool like that' .... don't be such a tool... your just hating because now att will have some nice android options, oh and yeah--- the iphone 4! moto droid commercials, and your believe in the 'map for that' campaign... there's your epic fail...

Ok fagatron, we're talking about this phone here, not at&t as a company or a network. Just this phone. So how about you just go back to your room and beat off to a verizon coverage map, or whatever it is you fanboys do with your spare time, and let the rest of us talk about this awesome new device from samsung. Ok? Ps. Stop being such a tool, nobody likes you.

Can't wait to see it in person or some sort of video unboxing, pictures don't give enough depth. I'm surprised we didn't get more info on that. Lets hope on june 29th in NY they will show for more carriers

go to att.com/captivate for more details - it has lots of features - but I like HTC and may just buy the ARIA and root it - the ARIA had great reviews comparing its speed to a 1GHZ processor and with it rooted I can download any app I want app store or not. I do not trust samsung but it is a nice phone - at least we now have 2 excellent ANDROID choices with AT&T - come AT&T, release a 3G/4G version of EVO and I will stay....

im liking this. my only concern is will there be enough in stock at launch or will it be just another droid incredible with the amoleds...

looks nice, but I am wondering if this is still going to block you from downloading from unknown sources like that moto one does right now? that is a HUGE limitation for android users if I cant download from 3rd party sites.
13. vzw fanman posted on 17 Jun 2010, 16:40 0 0
yes all future at&t phones will block the unknown sources.

More than likely all ANDROID AT&T phones will block out of app store apps - no big deal - buy the phone you like and root - download the ROM that excluded the bloatware and get it network and software unlocked and then enjoy....

it takes time for android phones to be rooted. especially if they aren't HTC phones.

No different than any IPHONE model - with those only the app store apps can be downloaded - I hope with the ARIA and GALAXY we can download an app and choose the microSD card as a method of storing it.
