Recounting my experience yesterday related to this topic:
Still within the 30 day window, I went back to a corporate store in Redmond, Washington yesterday morning to switch my captivate for a new one in the hopes a new one might have better gps and battery life. (The new device is not an improvement, btw.)
I was a bit surprised when the sales rep didn't want to make the switch and called over the store manager, who also did not want to give me a new device. Finally he did after I told him my "other option" was to take back my upgrade, go back to using my Bold, then cancel my contract. He said all the captivates have the same gps problem, and he would "hate to give me a another one that would just have the same problem." He had a point but I still wanted to try a new one to see. He also stated that Samsung was coming out with a fix in a week, declaring he heard it from "corporate." I really don't believe this, however. If I'm proven wrong --then great, we can all do the happy gps fix dance. And I'll lead!
I'm wondering if the at&t sales force is disclosing this corporate-known gps flaw to customers when selling these devices. hmmmmm.
