Default Decisions... GSII?

So AT&T just offered my $100 statement credit and free upgrade fee if I upgrade to the GSII due to account issues.

Thinking of doing it and selling my Captivate. Good decision?

Are all those little annoying issues fixed on the GSII over the Captivate?

Random power offs, GPS and whatnot?

The GPS works much better. Never had a Captivate randomly shut down, but those were from hardware defects in a specific batch.

I haven't either until I started running i9000 GB Roms. Could be my phone doesn't play nice with i9000 GB

But I figured with them offering me a GSII for $100 (well, they tried to offer me an AT&T Impulse first... but that's not happening), might as well jump on it and just sell of my Captivate. Free upgrade and awesome phone!

For some reason though, I feel attached to my Captivate.

Looks like you and DG are here though, so good ROMS are bound to come out!

Go for it IMO. I've mainly been an HTC guy until I picked up the s2 last week and wasn't sure if I would like the sammy. No issues so far. Already running cognition and no FC's so far. Super fast browser rendering and very nice 1080p video, etc, etc...

I was attached to my captivate too, but also had a bad GPS. I took the risk to jump to the GSII, couldn't be happier! Its a major improvement over EVERY piece of the captivate.

Looks like Samsung decided not to change the ease of flashing and getting into recovery and download mode as well, that's good to know! Seems like flashing is exactly like it was on the Capt.
