Samsung Galaxy S or Captivate?

Hello, I need some help in choosing my new phone I have an opportunity to buy Samsung Galaxy S for $700 here in Russia but I really don't like its iPhonish design but it's possible to buy some replacing backplates and firmware support is better than Captivate's one I think.
And I really love the Captivate's design, it really looks fantastic! But I am not really sure if it will be unlockable by the end of this summer when I come back home, so it's very risky.
Advise me something, please
P.S. Sorry for 2 themes in different thredes but I really have only 1 day to choose.
btw Samsung Galaxy S is HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
so it's better to buy AT&T Data plan for 3g internet? because t-mobile has 1700/2100 and is 2100 enough for normal 3g?
If you're interested in the Captivate and are buying it outright ($500, so it's a bit cheaper), I would get a commitment from AT&T that they'll allow you to unlock it first. I read here somewhere that AT&T said they have a 10 month exclusivity contract with the Captivate and there won't be any unlocks until then. I agree with you, I like the Captivates design a ton compared to the other Galaxy S phone designs.
Is gyroscope so important in Captivate and has anybody tried to use Samsung Galaxy's face camera?
I would go with the galaxy s if i could. More broadly released and has that physical homebutton which i feel is much needed.

why does the international version of galaxy s does not have the gyro where the US branded versions have it? Moreover, the US version has 6 axis where as the international one has only 4
The gyro is what gives it the extra two axises.

[Q] Best android phone?

Hi,
Regarding battery life and reliability on voice calls and SMSs, which is the best Android phone we can buy nowadays?
Regards
sam sung Infuse 4G, my first choice
as of now in the U.S. @ least i would argueably say the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G on Sprint or the AT&T variant are the best in the states. I say the sprint version is better because, i hate AT&T and essentially they are the same phone but i would go with Sprint before AT&T
Nexus S is a pretty nice phone. Id wait for the Nexus Prime though, its bound to be good.
I agree, I would say the upcoming Nexus Prime looks real nice
The battery life is **** on all devices, with internet permanently on and heavy usage you can exspect about a day.
With internet off you can get 3+ days.
The galaxy S II is the best one for now.
try an evo 4g or 3D
Best one i know with quality/price relation is ideos x5 .although the camera is not that good , but for the price its unbeatable.
Top 10 Android Phones
1.Samsung Epic Touch 4G
2.HTC EVO 3D
3.HTC Sensation 4G
4.T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide
5.Samsung Charge
6.Motorola Droid Bionic
7.HTC ThunderBolt
8.T-Mobile G2x (with Google)
9.Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T)
10.Motorola Photon 4G
Just for reference.
I really like my Sony Xperia Pro
Nexus Prime is quite good.
Samsung Galaxy S-III is soon to be released. Galaxy S III will come with a dual-core 1.8GHz Exynos 4212 processor along with 2GB of RAM. The smartphone will feature a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display.Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a 12MP camera.
.Totally subjective but I think the Galaxy S II is the best phone on the market right now. Though the Nexus Prime and S III is coming if you want to wait

which is the best choice? t-mobile galaxy s2 or moto atrix 2.

hello guys i need your advice or suggestions.. my dad just bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 and At&t Atrix 2. which is the best phone to SIM UNLOCK and send to me here in the philippines? whats the best option considering there will be update from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich?
Both will get ICS, i would choose atrix2 for its build quality and qHD display. There're reasons to choose S2 which is mainly development and community wise and 16gb rom.
so, either of the phones can be used anywhere as long as it is SIM unlocked?
The motorola atrix is trash. And yes, sim unlocked gsm phones can be used overseas. I am currently overseas with a T-mobile unlocked phone.

what specific phone model are you using? t-mobile galaxy s2?
No, I have an HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) waiting to upgrade to the nexus.
okay... im just worried about sim unlocking t-mobile galaxy s2 and not to be able to use it here in the philippines
atrix2 faster + newer
Are you kidding me? The atrix 2 is like 2 weeks newer than the t-mobile sgs2. And the SGS2 has a 1.5 ghz dual core processor. To say the atrix is a better phone is absolute stupidity.
i would consider both phones the atrix 2 and sgs2 but my concern is their functionality, if i can be able to sim unlock and use either of them in the philippines. thanks for your infos by the way!
There's a great bs hype about S2 phones, eventhough their display and build quality is pure ****ty, everybody pretends that it's great, fantastic,lol. I am telling you as someone who sells all kind of these phones in my shop, not like those superhyped kids who didn't even see an atrix 2.
Get the Atrix2, you will not regret it ever.

SGS2 or GN for future proofing?

I plan to put a mobile on contract which means 24 months for me. Which of those is best suited for future-proof in terms of software?
Well the Galaxy Nexus will receive updates longer than the Galaxy S2, meaning Galaxy Nexus will have next generation Android update, and Galaxy S2 won't. Galaxy Nexus will also most likely get more support from Google and such since it's a vanilla (for the most part) Google phone. Galaxy S2 has better hardware specs, but Galaxy Nexus has better software and support. I went with the Epic 4G Touch because it's the best of the Galaxy S2 phones and I'd rather have unlimited data than Verizon's current 4GB for the price of 2GB deal. So future proof wise, Galaxy Nexus is probably your best bet since Epic 4G Touch won't have as much support even with ROMs.
The software issues shouldnt be looked at as a negative,if youre on xda then you know youll have access to better software anyway(custom roms).id go with better phone.

[Q] Thinking of Buying Galaxy Nexus - Need Advice

I am a Verizon customer and have also been playing around with Straight Talk ATT with a Nexus 5 and a OnePlus One (luck invite). Where I live east of Cleveland, the only reliable signal is with Verizon. I do not like any of the phones available now on Verizon. I am thinking about buying a GN and flashing CM11 on it to make it ASOP without Verizon's fingerprints all over it.
How capable is the GN in a land of apps being developed for Quad core phones and how much longer would the GN be useable? I can flash using ADB/Fastboot and am pretty capable of doing most of the stuff I need to do to mod a phone.
Just wanting to hear some users who are currently using their GN as a daily and if it is a capable device for 2014-2015.
Thanks!
