Besides it looking different, and not having a front facing camera, yes they are essentially the same.

Mine was easily fix by switching to USB port at the back of the computer instead of the front! | Yeah, it's messed. I am thinking maybe there is not enough power being supplied by the front.
But, as soon as I plug my phone to the back ports, it found my phone and started installing drivers on its own.
Kies is a giant piece of shit software. I hate it!

When froyo or updates get released to galaxy s (for unrooted users), I hope we can install it without through kies. Fricking piece of shit indeed. My laptop is my main PC. I only have 3 usb ports (+2 extended through PCI-E), all 3 ports did not work.

Does anyone know of any place that has the Bellus Vibrant and willing to sell without a contract?
I emailed a bunch of guys on CL and the only that replied said he sold the phone.

I'm ready to go to the states for a weekend. Has anyone had problems or experiences buying phones in the US without a contract at like AT&T? Supposedly they have inventory for Galaxys unlike Canada.

I tried Best Buy (which is 50 bucks more but got them to PM ATT store)...had no problems buying without contract.

Sign up for contract with AT&T and get the phone cheap. Cancel the contract and pay the ECF. Someone here did that with their vibrant. It works out to be around the same price or cheaper.

Scouring the rest of this thread, its seems I have found info on how to unlock the phone.
Woot, that let's me get my phone from ATT exclusive to being able to use with other carriers. Great.
But the second part of it is, how do I get my Captivate to connect to my Rogers account?
One of my friends mentioned that Sim Card standards have changed since my 4.5-year old Moto SLVR, they got smaller?
Do I just walk into Rogers and ask for a new Sim Card tied to my account?

Your old sim will work fine, my sim on my nexusone is 10yrs old. I have 3g fine. You just gotta change the apns to rogers/fido settings and your set.
Although I have yet to prove this, newer sims have faster data speeds...but not so much. Posted via RS Mobile | |

As for getting a newer sim, why not, lets do it. hahahaha
Do I just go into my local rogers store and ask them for a new one?

This is where your friend steps in.
By the way, I like your old avatar pic better, darthchilli

I lucked out in the end because I made a WTB post on craigslist to buy a $500 galaxy s. The night I sold my iphone, some guy emailed me 1 hr before I sold my iphone. So I met up with him half an hour after i sold my iphone (only spent half an hour phoneless! haha)
so I'd say try to make a WTB post

just a question to those who have installed a lag fix...
First of all, I am on the stock rom, I've used the one click lag fix, am using launcher pro plus, and constantly have quadrant scores of 2200-2300.
However, I noticed at different times my phone will just lag or stall when opening something. For ex. once in a while when I open messages it might freeze up for 2-3 seconds before it opens. These are noticeable lags.
One lag I can reproduce almost all the time is when im on the home screen of launcher pro, and i hold my thumb on the screen to add something --> choose shortcuts --> applications..
there it takes me a whopping 14 seconds before the list of application populates! WTF
does anyone else have this issue?
any solutions?
