The SGS2 variants have been named for the US carriers, so it can't be too far off until release.

or do you mean if your phone died after flashing to froyo (pre-jl2) that they replaced it?
i'm have one from sept 2010 and have been running doc's original i9000m rom (jk3) since nov...about to try miui just for the hell of it

Just out of curiousity, I've got a SGS Captivate right now (perfect condition) box accesories, 2 screen sheets and 2 tpu cases (1 clear argyle and 1 body glove case).
What do you think a fair asking price would be?

So 46 pages in, what's the general opinion of this phone? Assuming I don't want to hack it up (right away), just out-of-the-box? How's it compare to some of the others out there right now?
Looking specifically at the Telus Galaxy S "Fascinate"...

Just out of the box... right now I'd spend the extra cash and get a Nexus S.
but if you are really inclined to get a Galaxy S. It's not bad. just don't expect a lot of support from Samsung (pretty much all the fixes are done by 3rd party independent developers).
The screen is still IMO the best among all smartphones out on the market today (minus the Nexus S, which uses a next gen super AMOLED display).

They should actually be both super amoled. the main difference is os updates. Samsung is still supporting the phone. They just released gingerbread build in the uk.

The one thing that stopped me from getting the Nexus S is the lack of a microsd slot. You're stuck with the 16gb and I just bought a 32gb card for my Milestone before I killed it with a bad flash. My Captivate right now weights in at 48gb.

Hey guys. Thinking of picking up a used captivate. I'm still using a BB9700 at the moment and may alternate between the 2 phones. Would BIS data plan work for the android? I believe it does but better to double check with the pros!
Thanks! Posted via RS Mobile | |

Those are 2 very different phones... Samsung is better considering it has a more optimized processsor, bigger screen, better camera, super amoled. Aftermarket rom support is pretty equal.

Didnt have receipt, so no one would take it back, not even for repair.
Simliar issue with my Captivate. Private sale with receipt, BNIB.
Issue with random shut down. Took it back to FS to exchange for a different one. And they just told me in order to exchange the person who BROUGHT the phone have to be there to change it.
So I just gave up and flash to a custom Rom and problem fixed!
I'm holding off the LG 2X atm.
Seems to have a problem with the phone randomly shutting down.
Not risking anything. | My vibrant died on me too a few months ago. Same situation as you: private sale with no receipt. Took many calls to samsung before some guy higher up was willing to email me a shipping label to have it repaired.
Iono if you've resolved this by now since it's been almos two months since your post but I'd try doing this before writing off the SGS. At least you can sell it after it gets repaired.

Tried updating it to Froyo through Kies and said "not supported for an updated" wtf.
Looks like I'll be reading through thousands of threads in the next week
