Help!!! Samsung Galaxy S? Captivate? vs Iphone 4 vs Blackberry torch

I just got a Galaxy Tab. Now my perspective on smartphones, even a Galaxy S, all seemed so puny...

My ATT Galaxy Captivate is a Canadian I9000 now...THAT is the kind of flexibility Android gives those who are not afraid to delv into the OS and really make the phone YOURS as opposed to Apples.

folks, I've been watching with interest, but forgive an ignorant question: Could/would the galaxy work, once unlocked, on the MTS network?

I'm finding out that the original international i9000 Galaxy S has 3 3G bands, 900, 1900 and 2100. The middle one might actually give 3G on select AT&T areas that has the 1900.

Other select i9000 variants may also have only 8gb but I don't know which ones. (i9000C? i9000B? For Chile and Brazil respectively).

In other news, seems like Galaxy K just hit the market. This for is for KT or Korea Telecom. It's packing Android 2.2 right off the bat.

All of the internal memory is NAND. Always has been. Just some drummed up lie like most of the stuff out there.

I always keep coming back to iOS. Android still seems pieced together at this point to me.....

I find Android much more exciting than iOS. It can do much more than iOS can even with jailbreaking.
What's great about Android is that it is designed to be modular meaning you can replace any app (incl. stock ones). You can customize the phone anyway you want. Android widget-based homescreen is so appealing and functional.

I have the exact issue of choosing between the 4 and the captivate. Torch isn't an option for me because I dislike blackberry phones for one simple answer: runs neither iOS (plz, plz don't explain why) nor the android (don't explain y?).

In the end it boils down to personal preference. Why?

I also posted on RFD with this comparison:



I also have a question about flash. I know that during the early release of the 4, flash was not support. What about now though? If it's still not then that's a big downer for me. (I know about 3rd party ways of doing it).

You should ask yourself, are you the type to like sophisticated software/fw? Because if you don't, an android phone may not be for you as I have many colleagues get frustrated from using it. I on the other hand, love the android OS and this is why I am leaning towards the captivate. I can answer your questions if you can answer this first.

However, I also have the issue with wanting the vibrant as bell's vibrant has the front facing camera for video chat.

As for resell, definitely iphone wins because it's a lone player in the smartphone market vs all other companies pushing new phones with android. So if you want to sell your phone at a higher price in the coming years, iphone is the way to go (demand curve shifts to left slower than samsungs).

Edit: Oh yes, and I do want people to help decide for me too haha (hijack threads much?)

I would get the iphone 4 based on apps and it's just a better built phone over the samsung. I'm kinda scared of fragmentation, look what happened with the eris and no froyo?

the iphone 4 will last for 2 years with updates, android? I don't know.
