Hows the screen compared to the Nexus One? Amazing?

Anyway to buy without ATT logo?

How is Call Quality? As in can you hear the other person louad and clearly? N1 is disappointing for me.

How is Speakerphone? Not loud enough on N1 for me.

Anything I should know before I buy?
 
I love this screen compared to the N1.

I dont think you can buy an non branded phone, and not sure if its even possible to separate that glass layer.

I think the call quality is pretty good. Im comparing that to the iPhone 3gs that I had. I have not physically make a call on the N1, just played with one.

The speaker phone IMHO, is above average, blew the iPhones away :) Not as loud as a sprint push to talks speaker phone, but it does pretty good. It does depend though the phones location. The speaker is on the back, so if on a soft surface, it may get muffled out.

The GPS is having issues. Im sure there will be a fix, the Cappy is pretty new, and there are some bugs to work out. For all I know, It worked fine until AT&T started to mess with the OS and apps.

Over all, I like it better then the iPhone and the N1.

Thank You! A few more questions:

How does it feel? Some people say it feels cheap because of all plastic casing.

I could get either the i9000 or the Captivate, which is better If at all?

Thanks in advance!

I have to say, I'm constantly pleased with the build quality. My girlfriend has the Vibrant (T-Mobile's Galaxy S) and her's is all plasticy. The Caprtivate rear panel is metal with a matte carbon fibre finish. It feels sticky, like the matte rubber finish on an Aria. The slickest part that I like, is that the front is almost entirely glass. It has a nice feel to it. I actually like to hold it in my hand instead of putting it in the case.

If I could choose, I guess I'd get the i9000 simply because it's the "mother" of the Galaxy S phones and it will have updates for it sooner. Not to mention, the i9000 has the FM radio AND front facing camera that the proprietary US models all lack.
