No. ATT doesnt have a 4g infastructure yet.

Captivate or anything with Android on it. The iPhone will someday go the way of the Mac computer. There will still be a niche market for it but Android will eventually become the "Microsoft" of mobile phone software.

i didn't think so...i keep hearing people calling it the "iphone 4g", so i was wondering if maybe they had it ready for 4g when att gets it up and running or something.

I don't see that happening. Not enough people, myself included, to give a shit enough to even pick up an Android phone. There is a reason release after release since the inception, each iPhone model has had weeks of back orders. You can walk into any T-Mo and buy one get one free any of the Samsungs.....

HOLY SHIT!
That Captivate is one big bitch!
Like carrying around a fucking iPad....

Uhh, it isn't that big..

What are you talking about? Android has already passed Apple in phone sales, most of the app developers that used to do just apple are coming over to android market, where more people are more likely to purchase apps from the developers.

OP, get a captivate, then root it and put 2.2 on it.

I've played with an android phone and I liked it. But I wouldn't suggest it without a more-than-average knowledge of computers. If you're looking for a phone that will be a phone and do some other cool things when you need it to without any hassle, go for the iP4. My iPhone is pretty much glued to my hand.

I promise that it's worth it to check out one of the windows mobile 7 devices. They're pretty impressive.

I still need to do that, maybe one of my friends or coworkers will get one soon so I can mess around with it.

I've heard the captivates are awesome. I have an iPhone4 that's not activated but I can still do anything with it minus make calls/do shit out of wifi. It's pretty neat. Interwebz are quick with wifi(except dfwstangs) and the screen resolution is amazing.

Does not look near as big with a comparison as it did online, no bigger then my iP4 with an Otterbox....


How can you even compare Android and iPhone sales? That is like saying Ford sold more vehicles then the Camaro.

Loyalty is also higher in iPhone owners, 89% compared to Droids 71%

Another downside with the Droid phones is battery life. I have heard 3-6 hours charge time. I can usually go a day and a half using my iphone full use...

While Android platform may have started to outsell the Iphone, it really is not a fair comparison. Android has more than one carrier and more than one phone. If/When the Iphone goes to Verizon, I think there is going to be a sharp increase in Iphone sales over the Android.

I have played around with both and still prefer the Iphone. My cousin tried getting me to switch to the Evo like he had, and he ended up dumping the Evo for the Iphone.

I have jailbroken mine....love it. Very easy to customize, I can now get the apps not approved in the Apple store, and download free apps if I want to. Honestly though, I havent found that much on the phone to download.

In my opinion I'd rather have an open source phone so I change the phone around how I like, and not have to jailbreak to do it. Sure, my phone is rooted and has newer firmware, but 99% of the stuff I've done to the phone can be done without rooting, and with 2.1. I just don't see a point in staying with 2.1 when the newer version is already out there. It only takes about 10 mins to change everything over anyways.

Anything Android is better than the Ifone.

I don't know who told you that, my phone is overclocked and can still last all day with heavy use. There are several battery saving apps you can get as well, ones that disconnect the data connection when the phone is asleep, etc. I've been using my phone a decent amount today and still have 45% left. I used it earlier as an aux input for music in the car, and used it for an hour as a wireless router,then used it to get around a block for photobucket to post those pics, too. lol.
