Comment on Captivate me…or not… by Mike Forbes

Also, check out some of the cooler apps. Tasker is a nice one to automate your phone to do certain tasks based on time of day/ things you do/ position of phone, etc. You can set it to auto start pandora or other music program when you plug in head phones, turn off all wifi, sound, etc. when you lay it face down.

I have also heard good things about Launcher, especially from previous iPhone owners.

The Lifehacker website has a bunch of good articles on android.

Mike, I never liked the feel of the Pre. It felt like a kiddie phone in my hand. I have heard good things about the Evo.

James and I were talking about this on the drive in this morning. To be fair, it has only been two days. There are things that I like – the integration with Google Voice being high on my list of likes. The sound quality is not appreciably better or louder, however, despite soundbytes that it was supposed to be. I also dislike the Android Marketplace. I think it rather sucks, to be perfectly honest.

I think for folks used to Android OS phones, Captivate is a great option. I’m just not sure it will work for me.

I will give it another week to ten days before I decide. I’m not locked in either way. At the end of the day, even if I decide to keep it, we recycle phones often enough that if I truly hate it, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

I played with the Captivate for a while. Its ok. We upgraded to the Evo (we have Sprint) and I am still in love. Unlike the Pre, which I despised by the 31st, point of no returns, day, I am still finding new things to like about the Evo every day.

I like the ability to play with my screens and stuff. It makes it more personalized for me. Too bad Sprint has shinned the phone with some apps they want you to have. I have google maps, why do I want Sprint Navigation??

While I loved my friends iPhone 4g screen, it was getting on the small side of what I wanted. Also, ATT locks 3rd party apps. Sprint at least lets Android install 3rd party “at your own risk.”

You may get Froyo soon enough. While not a huge update, it did make my Evo run faster and added a few cool things. Hopefully your Captivate will grow on you. I had heard such great things about the Galaxy S, that I was sure it was going to be a hit.

He works at my local Walmart right up the street. Awesome that the commercials are national. I thought they were only local. He is a great spokesperson for the store.

I love these commercials! He seems very sincere. Makes me want to shop at WalMart all the more. I’m going to the Midlo. store tomorrow just to see Mr. Rollback! May God continue to bless him.

He is so positive and has a great smile. What a bright spot when so many commercials are mean spirited and dark. They can be funny, but lots of mean stuff. I find myself smiling when I see him and want to go shopping at Walmart. He is a very positive “EVERYMAN”. He seems like a very nice, real person. A natural. Good Luck to him in his success.
