AT&T customers should cancel their contract and run away as fast as they can!

what an idiot...this phone is every bit as good as DROID X and EVO 4G

And as far as graphics processing goes, a LOT better than either of those. Not to mention a superior screen.

Exactly. I prefer this screen over the retina one honestly. I've used both, and now I own a Vibrant (clearly, basically the same as the Captivate). Its much better that what I anticipated from the Galaxy S line up.

OH OK, yep, I am getting the CAPTIVATE then - the thing with the camera is no different than all other phones I have owned and it is not a deal breaker

i agree with jrcrow 79 on this one were da fuck is the front facing camera?? i know some of u may argue that u dont need it well i dont care because i do because i think it would be nice to be able to make video calls without having to take out my laptop. also theres no camera flash . i like taking pics on the night and without a flash picture quality is gunna suck ..

to each his own - I will be using the phone to download tons of stuff - videos/apps/multimedia in general and play games - never did a video call or worried about camera flash - eventually, I will - thanks for the bone-headed -1s that really make no sense. So, if someone has a valid opinion you shoot them down, huh? Wow, talk about uneducated SOBs.....

ya I'm gonna get the Captivate over the Streak too. 4inch screen is plenty big, and I'd much rather have the 16GB built in

Plus, the Streak is hella big. With the front camera thing as well, that isn't going to kick in for a while. Probably late next year I think. I considered it, but not enough people own something this advanced (well, its actually behind compared to other countries). Plus, with the newer generations of people, including my own, we aren't very upfront and directly social as people from back then were (from my research, about 1988ish. We text, email, and message over facebook more than actually make a phone call, which is kinda sad. But besides that obvious fact, I haven't seen any of my friends make video phone calls because they really aren't necessary right now and plus they can't find anyone to do it with, despite the 3 million iPhones sold and whatever number the Evos did. Thats just what I've found.

oops, forgot to include my main argument. If we are much more likely to text than make a phone call, what do you think the percentage of making a video call will be?

EXACTLY....
