I thought they were like a gel-skin, but after watching the video...I realized that they are just customizable stickers!

They look like non-invisible, invisible shields! But thicker, so probably cushioned.. Rather nifty looking too. It's especially cool that each skin also has a matching wallpaper for your phone, so you can get the full wraparound affect!
Looks cool. I made my own design already. As soon as it comes available for the Desire I will order it
I wonder when something like the Iphone Powerskin will be reality for the Desire...
Gelaskins now available for Desire.. They look beautiful.
I'm a little worried that the corners look very exposed though..
i have a question we all know the t-mobile vibrant comes with a movie avatar to be exact does the captivate come with any to witness its awe inspiring screen
Yeah I searched this out as well and it seems that the only "premium features" that ATT blessed us Captivate owners with is the ATT crapware. They took our FM radio and replaced it with that ****ty ATT subscription app that has less features then Pandora. Another example of how ATT loves its customers! Oh well atleast they let Samsung give us a great high end Android phone like the Captivate.
I made an .mp4 of Avatar just for this phone and it looks soooo nice!

lol so no movie or nothing now im upset
Just for shizz and giggles... What format is Avatar in on the Vibrant?
The Vibrant comes with a trailer that's .3gp and the movie appears to be DRM'd and is .dcf - my boss is on T-Mobile and gave me copies of the files. Trailer is 3 mb, movie is 1.4 gb.

Got my Captivate last night....love it.
what didn't you like about the vibrant?
I have both...the only real difference is the feel of the device. Of course there's also the difference in carrier added software but other then that their the same device.

Personally the captivate feels better than the rest of the sgs family. He rest feel way too clunky for me.
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
I've only held a vibrant once, if I recall correctly..isn't it a bit lighter? It's been a while but I specifically remember telling myself 'Gee, that's pretty light.'
The vibrant also had one advantage, the group over at cyanogen actually plans on developing for it...

Yeah because cyanogen are famous for only releasing for a tiny share of devices and have no interest in porting even to near totally identical devices. /sarcasm.
You think they'll crack running CM on the totally different processor of the vibrant and then be put off by the odd front facingg camera. Please.
Wherever you get your info you are totally wrong. Cyanogen will be releasing for the whole galaxy line, facilitated by the fact that the different names make almost no difference to the hardware.

It just takes time.
I never used or even held the Vibrant but the Captivate looks way better than the Vibrant and the other Galaxy S phones.
How about those stories about the camera being better on the Vibrant? I always thought that was taken from one review and made into a gospel...
Not true, a friend of mine has the vibrant our photos look exacly the same, besides both phones have the exact same camera hardware.
^^^ This.
Guy that I work with every day has a Vibrant, and our photos/videos look the same. I'm not fond of how his phone looks, though, too iPhone-like with the gaudy bezel. The Captivate just looks like pure business to me.
Personal opinion, the captivate looks the best of the four sgs phones. Epic... boo;-(
Rooted Capivate Galaxy S
Captivate certainly looks the best, but the Epic is nothing to frown at.
Epic is to big, I wish I had money for i9000. But the captivate is so much sexier.

Just as I thought then...that one review I read stated that and then it became a "fact" for many people...usual internet stuff
I have the captivate that I picked up to try out AT&T's service. Like others I agree its the best looking, the Vibrant looks too much like an iPhone. I currently have T-Mobile with a BB 8900, and I do like the Captivate. The only "problem" I see is that if I dont like AT&T's service (which its looking that way), I dont want to be stuck with returning the phone and going to the Vibrant on T-Mobile, haha. Luckily I unlocked my Captivate and can use it with my T-Mobile account, but unfortunately the Captivate doesnt operate on T-Mobile's 3G network, but the Vibrant can work on AT&Ts 3G - or so Ive read. All I know is when I run my Captivate on T-Mobile, I only can get Edge service on it. Its just going to suck to have to either keep the Captivate and not have 3G, or return it and go with the ugly Vibrant...

I didnt like the shape of the vibrant and that it doesnt work well on all the carrier in New Zealand , the Captivate is great feeling to hold and works on all the networks here.

And the fact the Captivate has more Bands
My fiance has made her first to a smart phone and the Inspire was her top pick. We should have the phone Tuesday. I know have to set her up with a G-mail account. Her being a first time android and smart phone user I am trying to figure out what are some good tips for her and software for her to get.
I have been using smart phones MS and Android compined for I think about 8+ years now. I have not been a newbe for a long time. What can I do to help her so she does not get fustrated with the phone?
Since she hasn't been tainted by the iPhone like my wife was, i wouldn't worry too much.

Just teach her to walk thru it. She should be happy with it. My wife is. Introduce her to the market. Show her how to change themes, skins, and wallpapers. Download her some apps to do it. Woman seem to happy when they can match the theme colors and wallpapers for different looks. Kind of like with clothes and shoes.
