Hi. I get to renew my contract next week and it'll either be iPhone 4 or the Captivate. Not feeling the 3 week wait for the iPhone so right now the Captivate is my top choice. Have a few questions.
I played with the Captivate twice in two different AT&T stores and tried loading a few clips on Youtube in high quality and they didn't load either times. They just show the loading screen and nothing happens. Is there a trick to it? I used the menu button and selected "high quality".
How durable is the phone? Anyone dropped his and still have a fairly flawless phone?
The two that I played with did feel a little bit laggy, but it wasn't too bad. I think I can deal with it.
I am aware of the gps issue, but I don't travel much in my day to day life so it really isn't that important. But I look forward to a fix from Samsung.
Early reviews about video playback indicated the audio and the video were out of sync sometimes. How prevalent is this?
Apps wise, are the good apps (the popular stuff) pretty comparable between Android Market and Apple?
I've never had a smartphone before so how difficult is it to get used to Android? I'm okay with technology as far as computers and electronics go. Rarely had a problem that I couldn't get through with some time and research.
Now things that I like about the one I played with. I have big hands and it fits like a glove. Feels very natural to hold. The 4" screen gives me more room to type too. And even though it's plastic, it doesn't feel cheap.
