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.

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..

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

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

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?

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

^ 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
