This whole review seemed rushed and they didn't do their homework. I only use about half my battery despite a lot of daily use and you can get rid of touchwiz if you don't like it with another launcher. Also the app screen can be changed to alphabetical list. Why didn't the iphone get points off for being on AT&T? ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/
What??

Whenever an iPhone user says "but it doesn't happen to me when I hold it" some Fandroid comes along and says "But the difference with the iPhone is that you can make it happen with just 1 finger!"

Am I missing something here? ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/
"Did engadget just say that they prefer the vibrant over the iphone?!"

You must be new here. Re-read the quote. They prefer the Vibrant over the Captivate NOT the God-phone.

BTW ENGADGET! Now that we know Apple's answer the the antenna problem, are you going to revisit that sweetheart iPhone 4 review???]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/
Screen's pretty tough too. Dropped it on some rocks while taking a picture and cracked the screen in a couple places but it works perfectly fine.

PS - I love that "puzzle" Lock screen.... Now release either phones with Epic's qwerty and front cam, and you'll have my money.

It's been so since forever. Even the older Nokias have had their front cam removed when sold in the US.

Part of the reason could be that none of the US carriers support 3G/UMTS video calling, but that's still a stupid reason not to leave the front cam since it could be still used with an app like Skype...]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/Jul 22nd 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/Jul 22nd 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/Jul 22nd 2010 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/
Make sure you fast forward to the 5:55 mark. Thanks Again.

Step 1: Grab your precious iPhone.
Step 2: Look at where you hold it.
Step 3: Notice that you are not "pinching the bottom left corner of the phone but rather covering the bottom side.
Step 4: Realize that this indeed is a lot different than what the iPhone is going through
Step 5: Watch your "1 Finger Attenuation" (what ever attenuation is?) and see that that phone is indeed one of the other Galaxy S variants that was not reviewed on this site (at least in this article)
Step 6: Realize that the iPhone is not the only phone on the block.
and finally,
Step 7: Don't put up a video trying to "troll" another phone by saying "this phone sucks because it has an antenna problem" when in fact your precious phone is the one that is not being recommended by big companies like consumer reports. Does Dominoes make an advertisement by saying "hey our pizza sucks, but so does [insert other company] so buy ours instead"]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/Jul 22nd 2010 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/Ok thanks. I begin to understand why the front facing camera seems like something really new in the US.

No, just a poor transition.
