I like my captivate. Does a lot of neat things and after having my old ‘smartphone’ for 2 1/2 yrs, the phones are a lot smarter now.

Good,....but there is more choice coming ...and listening to a segment on CNBC,....there may be price cuts on the Horizon as well....

All of the late to market folks are going to have to do something.....

I’ve got a Captivate as well, and I like it a lot. The GPS stinks (still waiting for the rumored firmware patch for this) and the battery life isn’t great (though that is to be expected with a device that does so much), and I could do without akl the AT&T bloatware that can’t be removed, but other than that I love it.

The display is excellent, the email, messaging, internet browsing, music player, and camera are all quite good, and there a lots of great free games and other apps in the Android Market. Oh yeah, and you can make phone calls with it too, I think. :-)

Although I consider myself a bit of a technut or computer geek I can not for the life of me justify the expense of a smart phone.

I barely use my simple flip phone as it is. It irritates my wife to no end that I frequently leave the house and forget to turn it on.

To me the cell phone is more of an annoyance than boon to my life.

My wife has the Vibrant. The screen is a thing of beauty.
