Reviews: AT&T Samsung Captivate i897 - How a good phone!
I have gotten the Samsung Captivate i897 from AT&T for about half a year,personally, is my first Android phone and I absolutely love it.
In first, the Captivate i897 comes with a nice design, we can see it is just a beautiful phone. It is super sleek! Nice lines and very cool carbon design in the back. Fits just fine in your hand and its light. super fast and just an all around awesome phone. the quality of the screen is amazing, s a capacitive screen so you know its just smooth. Also, its Skype keyboard is awesome.
Other good features I like including:
1. Camera is excellent during daytime.
2. Nice speaker on the phone.
3. Phone to TV-out is an excellent feature. I use this all the time to watch youtube and recorded videos from my phone directly on the TV.
4. Light-weight. Yeah, I feel it is light than iPhone 4.
5. Nice selection of apps from the Andriod Market place, but the apps need more refinement as on iTunes Store. There are plenty of apps that needs to be filtered, at least regionally.
However, everything is not perfect, there are still some weakness for the AT&T Captivate i897, including:
1. Doesn鈥檛 have a flash for the camera, which is a major drawback.
2. Samsung is taking forever to release Froyo 2.2, preventing me from having flash on my phone.
3. Softkeys on the bottom of the screen are always a hit-and-miss.
4. In-built mail application does not work properly, for some reason. Even after deleting mails from my hotmail, they come back as unread after I refresh the mail app.
5. Music player requires more tuning. Coming from iTunes and iPhone, I see the need for better integration. You cannot rate your songs and make a playlist out of it.
While overall, the AT&T Captivate i897 is worthy of getting, if Samsung can release the Froyo update asap, it is close to be perfect!
