I will be very disappointed if Samsung/AT$T does not provide the promised update to Froyo for the Captivate.

I was going to go with a Droid X, but an equivalent plan to what I have on AT$T (got to keep my $15 unlimited data) would have cost me $20 more a month on Verizon.

I have a friend who's had froyo on his captivate for months, though not official, it works great! Check XDA.

Shut up, or I'll call you a name.

Thanks.

Looks like I'll be joining you. Upgraded to a Samsung Captivate last night. Couldn't pass it up at only $39 through Amazon.

When I sell my phone's I also enter in my MSL code and clear my phone number out which a hard reset will not do. I actually sold a device a few years back and didn't know to do this.

I started to see charges on my account for things I did not purchase. After figuring out what was going on, it took me hours on top of hours to finally get a high level Sprint tech to actually see that the person who bought my phone was downloading items and it was being charged to my account. Guess they were using the phone before actually activating it and it was allowing them to download things on my account.........

eman, that's a really good point, thanks for reminding anyone who might be wanting to sell their phones. You've been thanked!

Did you really just suggest that someone leaving the TP2 go to the Optimus? lol.

The Optimus is an underpowered doorstop. The TP2 has 4 times the rom and twice the RAM of the Optimus. He wants a new phone, not a worse one with a worse screen (TP2 800x400, Optimus 320x480). Hell my 3 year old Mogul had 320x480.

OP, go with the Evo or Epic and you will not be sorry. I just left my TP2 last month and while I still love it, it can't compare. Having a huge capacitive screen is pure joy, not to mention the increase in horsepower.

Never once considered grabbing the Optimus, describing it as a 'doorstop' is about as perfect as it gets. I am 100% going for the Epic on the 18th, and I'm going to be delighted.

Wow, thanks for this. I was going to offer my Tilt 2 for sale as-is with all the mods and purchased software already on it (after I scrubbed my personal stuff off it). There went that idea. I'm curious, though. Is this only a problem for Sprint and non-SIM carriers? Without my AT$T SIM the phone can't access the network as me and charge downloads to my account. And what's an MSL#?

Since you can remove your SIM you are ok.
