Same here. After trying the different launchers I still like launcher pro the best.

Only annoying issue I've noticed with launcher pro is when I select an image in portrait mode to use as my desktop wallpaper it gets zoomed in.

i find that after a bit of customization, the phone isnt as snappy as when it first came out of the box.. almost feels like an overclocked nexus s right now except a bit faster..

Bell.

The guy couldn't sell the phone outright because the system didn't allow it so he sold it as a "hardware exchange".

I'm with Bell.

Even if you're not I'm sure you can buy it from them. I didn't even tell the guy I was with Bell until I got there. When I first called the guy told me selling it outright is frowned upon if stock is very limited. He had 4 left and was willing to sell so I'm guessing very limited means 1-2. I haven't checked xda yet but I don't think unlocking it should be an issue.

I don't wanna name drop so if anyone wants to know which rep I dealt with (chill, friendly mofo) feel free to shoot me a PM.

It's like a repeat of the first SGS all over again.
Once I get a job, I'm ditching my Captivate and upgrading. Hopefully the crazyness would have died down, if now, I'm ordering online.

Quoting this from Howardsforum
Quote:
A confirmed unlock is now available.

First root your phone through this procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399

Then, use Galaxy_s as available through the android market.

There will NOT be any confirmation saying your phone has been successfully unlocked. It will sporadically reboot, and at the end you will know your phone is unlocked.

Just got an email from Bell advertising 4G?? That these 'superphones' will be able to take advantage of higher speeds. Since when did we have 4G?

Really?? Damn I think I'll drive out there tomorrow morning.

EDIT. Oh wait. I don't have enough time to go all the way there. I wonder if the willingdon one will sell it outright.

4G in other words is just faster speed. Anything faster than a certain mbps can be called 4g

There's "4G" and actual 4G. What you are talking about is "4G" for marketing purposes. True 4G is a true next-generation network (in this case, LTE). Rogers has an LTE network, but I believe it's only in Toronto and Ontario right now...
