### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great phone. Even better with a custom ROM
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012*

I have this phone since May, and has been a great experience so far. The specs and quality are great deal for the price. With its 1 GHz processor and ram, it can run most apps and most games available at the Play store. Camera pictures quality is good and the super amoled screen display too. Only thing it lacks is LED flash for the camera, so don't expect to take night pictures with this phoneThe 16 GB of Rom are plenty of space for all your apps and data. It can even be expanded with a micro SD card. Not a downside, but must be stated, the internal 16 GB of memory is split into two. The OS displays 2 GB as internal phone memory and the rest as an internal SD card. With a microSD inserted, it will show to SD memories. Still the 2GB partition is plenty for all your apps and if space is needed, you can move the app to the internal SD.The phone comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which works good out of the box. But the best advice for this phone is to root it and install a Custom ROM. It will make your phone performed better. Plus, the risk of something going wrong from this is very little. There are lot of sites and forums (like XDA) that walks you around the process. After I installed Cyanogenmod 9 (Android 4.0), the performance was smoother and faster, it really felt like a new phone. There are so many great things about the new Android OS that will make you love more this phone. I am currently running 4.1 Jellybean (CyanogenMod 10) and can't wait for the next release. Seriously, I highly recommend going this way, if you want to make you great phone into a greater one.

    Very nice phone
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2012*

For those who don't want to spend alot of money getting an unlocked android phone, and don't really care which version is on it, this one is sweet. Sure, it's an older phone with older hardware and running 2.3 Gingerbread, and that's as good as it's going to get with this phone, but something like 60-70% of the phones out there are running it too. It does it's job and does it well. It was a top of the line phone when it came out and even though it is a bit older now, most folks wouldn't even notice. We actually bought this one to replace an iPhone that my boy was using, but since "Daddy" has an Android, he wanted a little green robot too, which is super sweet because now we can text eachother for free and use other G products to communicate, something that couldn't happen when he had the "other" phone. I actually ran this phone for about 6 months when it first came out and it is rock solid. One thing that you will want to remember is that it is on 2.3. I did root and install ICS on one and to be honest it doesn't have the horsepower or battery for it. Just know it is what it is.

    Captivate review
  

*by I***W on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2012*

I agree with the rest of the comments on the product that it is of a good quality for a price. I bought it to use with straight talk plan, and everything worked out perfectly.The only few things that gave me negative thoughts about the item were that it was not in it's original box. It arrived in plain at&t box. Manual looks like it was homemade, and has no Samsung TMs on it anywhere. Despite all that, the phone is absolutely brand new. Second "weird" thing was that my internal speaker (the one you listen to when you receive calls) was not working until I plugged headphones jack in and out of the socket. Now it seems to be fine.Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.PS. 4 months later update: power button stopped working. I was sent back and forth between seller, amazon and manufacturer in a circle with no solution on hand. Nobody wants to fix it. Thats why my rating for the phone dropped 2 stars.
