WHAT IS IT & WHY DID I BUY IT ?
After all the media hoopla and noise over this much anticipated product, my inner gadget geek was doing cartwheels when I heard the release date of 06/29. It is darn sure to catapult AAPL to over $160 per share. Even though I didn't feel that the Iphone could... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, fun to play with, works well, lots of great features!
Cons No discounts on service. Who knows what bugs could be lurking?
Recommended it? Yes

This is the first product that got me excited enough to write a full-blown review in years!

I had been lusting for this beauty since the almost "too good to be true" commercials started airing. What? A phone that was simple to use? A screen that was bright with good quality resolution?... Read full review »

AT&T's best Android phone!

bylarwe Oct 29, 2010
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Beautiful screen. Good battery life. Fast. Good speakerphone. Easily hacked.
Cons Terrible GPS performance. AT&T adds some annoyances.
Recommended it? Yes

As of October 2010 the Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 (carrier-named version of the Galaxy S) is definitely AT&T's flagship, and most desirable, Android phone. If you browse the Web for comparative reviews, you'll find several places comparing it side-by-side to the iPhone 4, and that's a good data... Read full review »
