[Q] ATT Captivate or International I9000?

[wilee1928]

Hi, I live in Mexico, and I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S but i'm not sure what version should i get, the International i9000 (8GB) or the ATT Captivate (16GB).

I know the Captivate can now be unlocked and this should work with no problems with my carrier since they work on the same network, but i'm not sure how customizable this device can get compared to the i9000.

I would like to use it with LauncherPro (to be more vanilla) and remove all the ATT Stuff and of course to LagFix-it. Also i don't really care about not having a front facing camera on the Captivate.

On design i really like the back of the Captivate (with its metallic battery cover), on contrary to the i9000 that feels a lot more plastiky.

So, i hope your advices can help me decide wish version of the Galaxy S I should get. All I want is not to get abandoned by not being able to update it when new versions of Android get released. If ATT don't update it anymore I hope the community does it.

I'd go with the captivate (but being in the captivate forum, I assume you'll here that a lot)

Much of the i9000 stuff can be ported over, if not directly flashed, the i9000 only has three, rather than four buttons, the captivate looks better as well. You don't care about the ffc, so yeah. I'd go captivate.

Which 3g band is available fir you? U know that they are two different phones. I9000 has more devs since this phone is released all around the world. Captivate is limited in the US and soon to be canada. I have a captivate. Captivate looks better i think. But if i could have good 3g where i am at with i9000 i get that. Just my 2 pesos.
