I purchased my first Captivate in August 2010. It shut down occassionally. I didn't realize it was a Captivate issue until I joined this forum. I did know about the GPS issues when I bought it, but it was good enough at the time. Well, by January 2011, it began shutting off 2 to 3 times per day. After a 5 minute phone call with AT&T, I was sent a refurbished model, received in in 2 days! It's a 1007 build, with an IMEI well within the supposed "bad batch" range.
This 2nd phone has been perfect. I've had it for about 6 weeks, rooted, running Paragon RC6, and it's awesome. No shut downs, and GPS locks within seconds, and stays with me even at highway speeds.
