That Super AMOLED screen is fucking amazing, especially if you like to use a lot of blacks. Way better than iphone 4's screen, IMO. The iphone 4 is sharp, but doesn't have the contrast and saturation of the Super AMOLED.

The Galaxy S line we care about is pretty much 2 phones.

Rogers = Captivate
Rumors say mid september

Bell = Vibrant
Already out.

Wind = Vibrant
No rumors thus far, go get it from tmobile.

There are no unlock solutions for either of those models unless you get it from the UK.

Yeah everyone says that 2.2 is coming to the Galaxy so no need to worry.

Has anyone had the reception/GPS/Lag issues I keep hearing about?

Not at the moment. I've heard of ppl using turbosim like devices but no unlock code is available yet.

*edit* I stand corrected looks like they now have unlock codes on ebay for $30. tmobile version only

There's no hardware unlock available. Ebaying the code is your best bet now unless you can get the provider to provide you with the unlock code.

*edit* Spoke too soon. Ebay guy pulled his listings for US carriers. This means sim piggyback is the only way we can use these for now.

I just looked into that myself. Reception is relative. Most of it was dependent on user location and carrier.

Samsung is to release a patch that will fix the GPS issue.

Lag issue is what really caught my eye but has been "fixed" with a rooted Android phone using a simple fix.

I just closed my window from a random Google search for my sources. I'll post it if I can find it.
