Played with it in Seattle today.. nice big screen, really nice touch interface, fast. Pretty impressive phone!
Only downsides I see is slight cheapo plastic feel, and screen doesn't look as good as iPhone4 (resolution wise)

iPhone4 or GalaxyS.. that's the dilemma I'm having right now.. can anyone help me out?
I've played with both and seems like I'd be quite happy with either. Are there any dealbreakers for either of them that I'm not seeing?

Iphone4 more apps...galaxy s has flash.
I picked flash over apps so I got a nexus one. Galaxy s has a better screen than a nexus one since the super amoled works better under the sun Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'm tempted to switch over considering I missed out on getting the nexus one.

I've had 3 cameras with LED flash, and haven't used it once. If it's dark enough to require LED flash, it's too dark to take phone pics, IMO.

The Captivate might feel less cheap. The battery cover is metal with fake CF weave on it.

why don't they make xenon flash anymore? IMO my N82's camera is still on par, if not better than most cameras on phones out there right now
I've had enough applies for a while - Galaxy S is for sure what I'm getting.
But the iPhone's screen is really something you have to see to believe - I played with one at Best Buy yesterday and damn. that's one handsome screen

I think it has to do with the phone size and battery size that that limits how many phones are capable of a xenon flash.

i believer the galazy screen is on par with the iphone screen. the only reason why it might like not as good is because iphone4 has a smaller screen and hence appear clearer

Also the amoled screen on the galaxy is alot easier to see in the sun than iphone screen.
the problem i had before with samsung is that often times the screen and maybe the camera is the only thing going for its phone. It always running some one off OS or crappy ones like symbian. Now that its adopting android only good things can come.
Critics are giving good review for the galaxy, so even say its the fastest phone on the market right now even faster than iphon4

The iphone 4 screen is actually sharper unfortunately. The DPI is much higher. But the SuperAmoled screen is a gorgeous one for sure. If reports didn't say it felt cheap and plasticy I'd be all over it.

looks really nice.. checked it out on GSMarena | Galaxy S is a line, and Vibrant is a phone in the line. All four major carriers in the states have a Galaxy S. It was released in different form factors and housings. AT&T's Capitvate, Verizon's Facinate (looks basically the same as the Vibrant), Sprint's Epic 4G (Slide out keyboard), and T-Mobile's Vibrant, which is the Wind compatible one. For some reason Bell is also calling their Galaxy S the Vibrant.. Kinda makes it confusing hahah
The insides of all of them are basically the same, it's just that the Vibrant and the Captivate seem to have slight differences on the screens and cameras http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/s...t-and-vibrant/ Quote:

Looking at the screens with a naked eye, I bet you wouldn't even be able to tell that the iphone 4 one is much better. It has excellent pixel density that shows up great in microscopic pics. But from normal viewing distance, other screens look just as great. And if you are a big fan if super high contrast, Super AMOLED actually looks a bit better.
I only got to play with the iphone 4 for a short time though, and most of that was spent killing its reception by touching the corner  | |
