Being a Quadband phone, I can use it in Europe and China/Hk, provided I have it unlocked first, and have a Euro/china/HK sim, right?

I hope the new updates will be out soon. My galaxy is starting to show the lag issue... it's blzing fast when its not a problem, but when it lags it literally stops for 2-3 seconds... annoys the hell out of me.

I am certain you flipped the two around by mistake and don't blame you for all the frustrations you get from lack of reception.

According to this rfd thread, once it is unlocked, all warranty is voided. Other briefly mention you can try to re-lock it to original carrier. Not sure how that works though cuz if your phone is truly bricked, how to re-lock?

I don't think they'll warranty the phone if you're not a rogers customer.

There is an unlock program from XDA that will extract the codes for you and it's not even hard at all.
You can also re-lock your phone to work on a specific carrier so you can still have your warranty intact.
Anyways, it's all in the XDA forums which was posted a page or two back.

The Captivate has a metal back and doesn't look like an iPhone. Overall though, it's still a bad ass phone that does a lot out of the box.

I am using the ATT Captivate on Rogers network. Its an amazing phone.
I can confirm unlocking was as easy as turning it on...connect to wifi...download SGS unlock..run it and get the code...enter SIM card..key in unlock code
Took less than 5 minutes

Can anyone confirm that they can actually re-lock the phone for warranty purposes?
