Worth buying for $95 obo? - Captivate General

Spotted this deal on craigslist. Comes with a car and home charger for $95 obo. looks clean in the pics. Might be stolen though, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.
What's your take, guys?
Thank you!

Yeah. It sounds nice

from price point its a good deal as long as you could make sure ... everything works.
from xda point of view I guess this phone is among the few that got most attention from devs so there is a lot of custom FW available for this little phone.
out of curiosity ... why do you want to buy an older device?
I am sure you have your reasons ... but anyways ... just asking

It's for my lady she played with a galaxy s 4g in a t-mobile store and liked it. she still has a nokia 5800 lol haven't heard back from the person, so... found a galaxy s 4g for $75 lol waiting to hear back as well.

Xda gave the phone gingerbread but that is where it ends. No cm7 no miui. Truthfully, this phone is not getting the support.
Good news is that this phone is a great phone and at that price is worth it.

thank you, guys! haven't heard back from the people... oh well, was good talking to you all

My girlfriend was running cm7 nightlies. It runs really well, pulls home fast data on i9000 roms. As long as you go custom rom, it's a pretty good phone

we have a thread in the sensation sub-forum about gs2 and a lot of people didn't want to get it because of the quality issues with their vibrants and galaxie's. is it really that bad?

try to get the ime of the phone and call att and ask them to verify the ime if someone just reported if it was stolen or lost.. I did that before I buy a cheap phone from craigslist.. just to be cautious

Vibrant 4g or G2x

Since I couldn't get my wife a nexus s with the upgrade. I decided to go with the vibrant 4g.
She got it on Friday via ups.
My questions is should I return the vibrant 4g and get the G2x since I can still return the phone

I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

I think you should wait for Galaxy S 2.
The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.

Dude!?

I hope that devs come over to G2x land. LG can't work out its problems, T-Mobile can't work out its problems. Maybe the smart developers can work it out.
Praying for a rainstorm of developers!
I think it would be a mistake for anyone to jump ship unless they just really wanted something else. The G2x has an awesome screen (despite screen bleed), great hardware, and great form factor. The only thing wrong with it is software related, which is fixable. You can't fix poor hardware, which some newer phones do have.

Thinking and doing are 2 different things. I could easily sell one of my 7 devices and get the sense and still keep the g2x. Some people read to far into things.

CM7 already has the battery driver ironed out and a pretty stable release of 2.3.4. The phone itself is awesome and I'm loving the Tegra games.
I think I would be seriously disappointed if I were to switch to another phone right now.
I think my next phone won't be until Tegra 3's are out.

u hit it on the head player911, im effin loving my phone it is a beautiful piece i actually took my screen protector off and wow this screen is amazingly beautiful, ill tell u what those tmobile anti smear protectors suck! anyways the screen doesnt have one scratch id figure i would just keep one off because of the gorilla glass it has been about a week and not one scratch, and i think im just gonna stay with this phone for a while, i love the way this phone plays games, u have to check out galaxy on fire 2. great game....and now that cm7 is on its way to stable im not even worried about that official gingerbread release because it really wont do nothing special to our phones, we need the drivers from nvidia! as far as battery and etc., but like i said cm handled that......sorry a little off subject

Going to be new here

Welcome!
I was actually pretty pleased with the phone, a few reboots here and there. Then gingerbread came and I got fed up with it, hahaha. It just wasn't gingerbread exactly.
So I rooted finally and flashed a few roms and eventually settled on one I like and the phone's been great. Fast, pretty moderate battery life, powerful.
Now I'm messing around with ICS and it's still fun.

I made the same switch from the Sprint NS4G
to T-Mobile. T-Mobile data speeds are faster and voice calls are great in my areas. I dont miss my NS4G at all just my friends in that section. I'm a very proud owner of a G2x. The pixels are higher than super amoled screen and the 1000mhz tegra2 processor is superb hands down. The G2x has that high quality finish with the metal alloy bezel. Bigger specs on the camera and camcorder etc.
I'm a very proud G2x owner and I had my share of PPCs and Androids devices.

Once again we share somewhat the same story lol. This is my first time user GSM as my main source of cellular service.
From what we seen with ICS on the NS4G, these preliminary builds here are defiantly on par and on the right track. I remember NS4G users was running the ICS SDK port like a daily driven haha.
Our 1st build of ICS and I run it like a daily driver, NP. You might need a browser, cause is visually has some glitches that's all. I run it as is no custom kernel all week long. But that's about it.

We are on the same $30 plan at T-Mobile. Saving tons of monies a year vs Sprint. I use Talkatone app (VoiceIP) recently ported from iOS to Android by the creators to make 90% of my voice calls an it works great. It works way better than GroveIP waste of $5. March 1st Talkatone will go from free to having subscriptions $1.99 a month or $20 a year. Once you see how good the app works, you will be happy to drop the $20 bucks for the year.

Best wishes to you as you get your next phone. Have you considered holding on to your Infuse to develop on as you use the next phone as a daily driver? It will be at least another year before I even consider another phone, but when I do, I'll definitely be holding on to the Infuse to tinker on. Just a thought, though I know that $235 is pretty tempting for a high school student.

I have been in that road back and fourth after trading my iPhone 4 32g for the Infuse and I do not regret it one bit. I would wait for the Galaxy S3 if i were you unless you have a reason not to. Ex: smaller screen. That is my plan as soon as prices come down a little.
thanks for all that you contributed to the forums man. But, I agree with everyone else up there, keep it. Just to tinker on. Maybe rip it apart and go to town on it you know.
Hopefully I'll be seeing you in the NOTE forums in another month or so.

Thinking of getting one

Hi guys i just have a chance to get an infuse but i am still thinking about so i decided to ask for opinions in the best place there is related to android phones: xda.
So what can you tell me about ics and jelly bean? is the battery good or it sucks taking into account it will not have a new battery but a used one for about a year.
Any help will be really appreciated!!!
thx guys
I don't have the infuse any more but ICS was great on it. Battery would last me all day with 3 hours of screen time with usually 30%+ to spare when I went to bed. The only thing I didn't like about my infuse was the crappy gps. Would drop signal constantly and it would often take a while. The strange thing is that gps apps would take forever to acquire a signal but if I closed the navigation app and loaded gps test I'd get a signal within 5 seconds.
Infuse is awesome GPS is not crappy anymore that has been resolved. So if u can get it do.
The devs here are light years ahead of samsung itself.

If the phone works properly and you are paying a fair price, don't see how you could go wrong - you can buy another battery at some point.
Many great roms by extraordinary developers plus support from lots and lots of helpful, knowledgeable users.

I don't have the infuse any more but ICS was great on it. Battery would last me all day with 3 hours of screen time with usually 30%+ to spare when I went to bed. The only thing I didn't like about my infuse was the crappy gps. Would drop signal constantly and it would often take a while.

I'm actually changing my gtab 10.1 for the phone plus a little cash. What do you think??

There will be those who diagree with me and I understand why- for me I would be tempted to do it as I have a 10 inch Acer A500 that spends almost all it's time in the case- I use my laptop or my phone and am very pleased with my Infuse. Several have left the Infuse for SGS3 - I have an SGS3 and still enjoy using the Infuse about 25% of the time. As long as you are ok not having the 10in. screen, I hope you make the decision that you are happiest with.
Wow I am sold he he ... naw I love my infuse hmmm tab 10.1 hmmmm

i would do the change with you but you are a little far :laugh:
yep, infuse is a great phone, i sold it for an htc...well lets just say i bought another infuse cause the htc vivid just didnt satisfy me the way the infuse does
You have countless roms to try...so if your a flashaholic...you’ll be in heaven
Tons of helpful people, a friendly community (with the exception of a troll or two every other month...)
i don’t know about other people...but i consider everyone in the infuse section like "family"...not literally but like a little forum family, like a no man left behind kinda group
moral of the story...unless you can get an sgs3 get the infuse!
Hey mg how bout lending a family member a few bucks lol....

Thanks for the opinion man and nop can´t get a sgs3 not by a chance at least at the moment so i will go for the infuse then.
The tab is to big for me and there is almost no development oh and the people on the forum is not really "good" if you get what i mean.
So wish me luck with the change so i can join you here
Good luck

If your doing it on a new 2 year contract. I'd say no. You could get something better. Like a HTC one x for $50, Refurbished Galaxy Note $50, sgs3 for $139. I'm waiting for Gnote 2 but if they want over $200 for it I may go with Gnote. Samsung Unpack starts today!
ICS and Jellybean seem to be working awesome here by the way. At least for me.

Bah!! When did the developers make the gps worth a damn? I sold it when I bought my s3.
Zeus 6 ROM had great GPS. And its snappy. I've used it on my vacations. Infuse isn't a bad phone but I'm thinking of upgrading to the Note 1. I think its a good decision coming from an Infuse. Half a gig ram more 1.5 ghz dual core a larger screen , longer battery life. Samsung adding jelly and butter. Also it'll get some of the Note 2 features sounds like a good investment for $50 bucks.

i havent looked to see if still available, but i got my infuse online with AT&T, refurbishd for 1 penny.
i would do that and keep your other stuff too.
came from I(blow)phone and dont ever look back.
where is that Note or $50 ???

But you would need an upgrade to get the penny deal...and I don't think he's using an upgrade...

The Note is for $50 at At&t web only deal refurbished with new contract. I originally wanted the Note 2 but I don't want to wait another 3 or more months to get it. I think they have a refurbed S2 for $39 too..not sure. If your thinking about it get before its banned. Its on Apples hit list.

I have an iPhone 4 now but I had the infuse and it was pretty awesome coming from a Mytouch 4g but I wouldn't get on contract with it...At all.
The battery life isn't that great, neither is gps and video chatting.
I've heard there's better android phones on the market if android is what you're looking for, searching around is best to make sure you buy a phone that's 100% you.
Check out the skyrocket too my ex boyfriend had one of those basically the same as the infuse but the think the battery life is better.
