Thee Official Captivate First Impressions

Wow - lots to learn here coming from a windows phone - love the display. Hate the lack of assigning individual contact ringtones. The lack of sync with a pc unless you download special drivers.

You can assign individual contact ringtones if the contacts are on the phone. It won't let you assign individual ringtones to contacts on the SIM card or synced with gmail, but anything actually typed into the phone you can assign a ringtone to.

So far I have owned 1 iPhone 3G and 2 iPhone 3GS. I am also planning to buy the iPhone 4 for my wife. Coming from an iPhone user, I absolutely adore this phone. Android is definitely comparable to iOS. But there are a few area where iOS performs better such as copying and pasting text. I've ran into a few area where my Captivate is stuck on the loading screen and pressing the Home or Back buttons would not get me out of it. The iPhone on the other hand, pressing the Home key would get you out of just any frozen screen.

I am glad AT&T finally got a good Android phone. When the iPhone 3GS came out last year, it was clearly the winner. However, today, saying one OS is better than each other is like comparing apple and orange, it all boils down to taste because both OSes are just as good (as long as your iPhone is jailbroken).

Does Copy From SIM move the contacts to the phone memory or
does it do what 99% of the motorolas did and make duplicates
of your entire contact list. One in SIM, One in Phone because 2
identical entries are somehow useful.. bah..

I have 100+ contacts. I'm REALLY not in the mood to go thru and
nuke the dups.

Anyone tried it yet?

It will do exactly what I says and copy from your sim....so there will a duplicate. To get around that, just hide your sim contacts once you've copied them all.

Great idea..
