Default USA version of Galaxy S looks so much better :(



But Samsung didn't think this is enough so they threw a gyrscope inside just like the one in iPhone 4

In addition, the Samsung Captivate is designed with a six-axis sensor that combines the smartphone's accelerometer and gyroscope to provide a smooth, fluid gaming experience

Hah would be funny to find that people outside the USA prefer that design and the Americans preferring the international version.

Looks like an old Palm device I threw away 5 years ago.

I may end up with it, but based on that picture, I don't think its attractive at all.

If the I90000 looks iPhonish, who cares? It looks better than this.

That won't stop me from buying it. Depending on the issues around locking down apps to just the Market, and what Verizon ends up with from the Galaxy...that will determine which one I end up with.

Unless someone can convince me there is a good reason to stay on AT&T over Verizon, based on the carrier technology, not the complaints about AT&T's lousy coverage. Their coverage is great where I would need it. (At least now it is).

I think I prefer the EU version as well - it might be because I've just gotten used to the looks of it already. To me the US version reminds me of the Touch HD which is a phone I absolutely hated.

It depends on the dimensions and whether it has a flash - neither of which are stated.

Like I said in the other thread, there's no way AT&T would allow another phone closely resemble the iPhone AND have specs to directly compete with it and possibly blow it out of the water. Hence the removal of the front camera, possible gimping, and changing the looks.
