The Galaxy S is designed to be an average consumer phone. The ui is designed to be simple an very user friendly.
Oh and what is better, T-Mobile Vibrant unlocked for 450 and 55 for unlimited internet or At&t Captivate locked for 200 and 55 for 200mb per month? Is the extra 250 dollars worth unlimited internet, because I mostly will be staying in my WiFi blanketed campus most of the time, but don't want to be screwed when I leave

Bought one today and it is pretty nice.
Screen is awesome.
Not big fan of soft kb but swype is pretty nice
Super thin after info using my n900
The samsung touchui is not too bad.
If I can get root might think about keeping it

I am playing with one. The screen is amazing but the phone feels cheap.

It felt pretty solid to me. I just couldn't get past that iPhoney TouchWiz interface. If it had Sense or whatever form of blur that's on the Droid X, I'd jump for it in a heartbeat

Afew more notes after using it for bit:
Camera sucks in low light compared to n900 but it foes do 720p video. In full light pictures are comparable.
Has tv out duplicate mode although playing the included avatar movie gave tv out npt supported supposedly becUse of drm
I c an t type as we'll
On this thing either
Web surfing is quite fast.
IREALLY miss the n900 method of just clicking blank area to go back. Hate having to hit a specific spot everytime

back on n900 now so i can type thes replies faster.
one odd thing is that when i went in to the store the rep wanted to change my data plan to an android one??? i was like whatever just give me the phone, dont touch my account(i was paying retail)
sure enough i got home and popped in same sim from n900 and internet worked fine straightaway.
weird
