Can't decide :/

Hey all,

So, within the next two weeks, I have a phone upgrade. And, I've been debating between 3 phones:

HTC Aria
Samsung Captivate
iPhone 4

I can't switch from AT&T, unfortunately. However, I think I've really ground it down to the HTC Aria and Samsung Captivate. I just can't decide between the two of them. I love HTC Sense UI, and I've heard the the Aria is actually faster than expected. The Captivate has a bigger screen, clearer resolution, Swype, and a faster processor (although, like I said, I heard there really isn't much of a difference). I've never exactly used Android before, but I've played around with it and hear it's great. I'm just afraid I won't like the TouchWiz 3.0 interface, and I'm clueless on how to root it to HTC Sense UI, or if it will be stable for that matter.

Help?
 
I am admittedly biased in this regard... so take this however you like...
But please, for the love of all that is precious on this planet, avoid the Samsung.
 
@CricticalCritc: What's so bad about the Samsung phone?

@LOTR: But, I thought AT&T blocked the third-party applications on it...? That and it's just an add on, not really something I'd always use. lol
 
Eiiinh..... AT&T with Android phones.... EIIIINNHHH......

Either way, you're gonna want to root the Aria or Captivate to get an un-gimped market and allow for installing of what you want. AT&T butches their Android phones to such an extent I almost want to say get the apple product... o.O
 
Switch to Sprint or Verizon and enjoy Android in its full glory.

The Captivate is, otherwise, the top of the line. Hint: its internals are actually superior to the iPhone 4's (the iPhone 4 uses a chip from Samsung, the same chip that's iterated in Android handsets as the Hummingbird, only it's more powerful).
