I knew this shit was going to happen. Which is why I bit the bullet and shelled out the full $550 to get a SGS.

Best of luck to all your Captivate seekers out there.

This release is a joke...

because of the shittiness of this whole fiasco, let's move onto the next galaxy, the S2.

lol yeah right, the S2 coming to Rogers in 2015

It's always been like that with technology though especially with computer tech.

The specs look pretty damn good for that phone. I may aswell hold out and pay that full price instead of getting the captivate. Stupid rogers..

so happy I didn't wait for Rogers... I'm in love with my T-mobile Vibrant. less "iphone clone" looking than the standard i9000/Bell Vibrant too

I thought T-mobile doesnt run on the same band as Rogers/bell 3G for data

anyone know any local place that sell case for this phone? Something nice and decent looking.

JP Cellular!

Probably on wind mobile

Seems like people in Toronto are getting some luck getting the phone now, any word on shipments hitting the lower mainland?
Posted via RS Mobile

it does... I'm getting full 3G and EDGE. (i'm on Rogers)

The T-mobile version has all the AWS bands, UTMS AND the standard GSM bands

Woah..........what??
Posted via RS Mobile

Haha correct me if I'm wrong... not very good with the bands, I get confused by them all the time @.@
Regardless though, I CAN confirm that Rogers 3G IS WORKING on my T-Mobile Galaxy S... I use it everyday!

So from entering the debug menu in my service menu... I can select the following (individually or "auto")

WCDMA 2100 (FDD I)
WCDMA 1900(FDD II)
WCDMA 1700 (FDD IV)
WCDMA 850 (FDD V)

GSM 850
GSM 900
DCS 1800
PCS 1900

tis true, thats why i got the tmobile one :D
i'd sacrifice a front camera for this

*sigh*
installed the gingerbread youtube app

STILL doesnt stream in HD...
seriously WTF

since when T-mobile 3g works on rogers 3G,, does that mean a desire Z or nexus one from T-mobile will work too?

^ no. the tmobile vibrant supports all bands internally, it was sth that was hidden and not known to most users. u can change them like captain picard noted above

Well I think its just because the galaxy had the hardware to begin with.you would have to check the technical specs of the desire or the n1 to see if the it supports the rogers 3g bands

So... did you guys smell your phones yet? ;)


I'm trying to get Launcher Pro Plus installed.
I was able to do it before on the AT&T Captivate without a problem.

- installed "homeswitcher"
- used homeswitcher to choose "launcher pro" as my default.
- was happy

I've dl'd both to my rogers captivate, but neither are showing up in my apps list.
And yes, both are from the Market.

I was under the impression that I shouldn't need to root to install these?

You shouldnt need to root the phone to install launcher Pro

I smelled my phone the first day I got it... Smells better than the iphone 4 when I got it imo. I just have it a nice sniff today again when I put on my new case. Boy it still smells like new electronics

Just got my Galaxy S Captivate today....

1 question ~ How do i get Chinese input for this phone ??

^ pics or it didn't happen!

Go to the android market... download "HanWriting IME" (note: not HANDwriting... but HANwriting) ... you can now select a keyboard when typing that does handwriting input (character recognition), or pinyin

Considering I can't find a captivate anywhere I might wait and see if this phone holds true Nov 8th...definitely sounds solid, and no waiting for samsung to release updates would make it worth it alone
