Will you show me how to do that sometime?

Haha, those pictures are great. I have the jailbreaking one posted by my desk now. Hehehe.
The galaxy has a gorrila glass screen there's a vid out there of someone putting it in a ziplock with a bunch of metal and shaking it, no scratches.
Although I haven't compared them side by side I have had no issues viewing the screen on my vibrant in sunlight or of angle.
i debated the iphone 4 vs captivate for a while and settled on the captivate. the slightly larger screen, plus ability to change just about everything was important as well. there were a number of reviews that complained about reception on the iphone4 even w/ a cover on. i absolutely need great reception as i use my phone to call clients as i travel around the state. w/ my captivate i have noticed a huge increase in reception over my BB bold, both voice and 3g, especially when i travel to watonga and kingfisher for work.
i have had few problems w/ stability.
i did the update a day or so ago, and didn't test the gps until now. sitting in my office - a brick building - the gps was locked and accurate as soon as soon as the map program opened. before, it would search for a lock and not find one if i was inside. the gps, however always worked when i put it in the window of my truck. the navigate function is great.

First off, my whole life isn't in it. Even if it were, it's backed up. Buy a new one and sync it all back up.
Still though, those links you provided are biased from competitors or from insurance companies trying to claim the device is flawed so they won't have to pay.
Again, I know a lot of people with the phones, real life examples, all of which have dropped their phones seveap times, myself included, and no one has had a catastrophic failure.
Like I said before, if you enjoy tinkering with your phone to tweak it, bump up the speed, get our GPS to actually work, then something like the Captivate is definitely your choice. You want a super user-friendly phone tha does pretty much everything you need very very well without any hassle then the iPhone is for you.
Well, don't let the hundreds of online stories from all the "biased" testing sites convince you. Google is your friend, or not if the facts disagree with your opinion I guess.
My GPS hasn't had any issues since I've gotten it (and with shooter, it kicks ass so far since there's a weather station near me). No hassles so far (I am new to mine).
My point was never whose was better - just that the iPhone 4 is far from rugged construction - I've got several 3Gs horror stories too, but I'd say they're a far cry more sturdy than the 4.
I actually use my phones and expect them to last longer than a year, so the iPhone 4 wasn't a good choice for me.
Good thing I just set my phone on a stand and look at it and buy a new one every couple months. LOl!!
Also, internet horror stories always need to be taken with a grain of salt. Otherwise, all Glock 22's are junk waiting to Kaboom, AR's won't run with more than 2 specks of dust on them and AK's won't hit the side of a barn from 50 feet. :p
Yeah that's funny stuff. Wait, I actually pointed out that I've seen several destroyed iPhones in person (just like you've seen several that aren't). My mom works at a school in Edmond, she's seen 4 of them turned in that look like a tank ran over them. I just saw one at Best Buy the other day when I bought my Captivate (they had a guy bring one back in for an insurance claim - he had it in his pocket and was pushed over and just fell on it). It was bent and shattered.
I've got two other friends that went out and picked up the latest Apple Form-over-function iPhone 4s that have spiderweb cracks on the front and back.
Its not rocket science, you make a phone out of more glass than metal (when the previous model was more metal than glass), and its less durable.
Like I said, I use the crap out of my mobile devices and I didn't want an all-glass pretty trinket to carry around - I'm happy with my Captivate based on what I read and what I've seen with it so far. Only time will tell I guess.
You said you already ran the OTA update right? Probably going to have to flash you back to JH6 to root the phone so clockwork can even be installed. Haven't heard of anyone rotting one on JF7 yet.
