kara, 05 Jul 2011The battery life is terrible, it says standby is like 750 hours, uhh...no, not even close. It'... moreBy "stand by" the accurate definition I think it would be, No apps open whatsoever (Like anti-virus) your 3G off, and not txting or calling at all. Which is imposible for not to do any of these things, so yeah. But pretty much every Smartphone or Android based ones, baterry are lasting around that much of time, its a BIG cons on these new phones, cause you have to be watching the battery or caring your charger for your car, usb or power supply. I have an Xperia Mini 10 the battery last at most 5hrs or so; and a HTC Inspire 4G which it last 7hrs

The battery life is terrible, it says standby is like 750 hours, uhh...no, not even close. It's more like 6 hours if you are lucky.

I originally upgraded by Blackberry to the Motorola Bravo. When I talked to the rep from my service provider I asked two questions. 1: Will it work with my Cox email account? I was told yes but the truth is NO it does not work with my Cox email. Question 2: Will it sync with my Outlook on my computer? I was told yes. The truth is NO. There were apps that would do it but after the trial version it only synced my pictures. No emails, contacts or calender. I called my provider and really pitched the bitch and now I am getting the Samsung i897 Captive. So far I'm reading good things. I am now asking you, the consumer community 1:Will it work with my Cox email and will it sync with Outlook? Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Warren O

Well I have had the Captivate since march and I love it, the only problem I have with it is there is no flash and if there is I have no idea how to activate it. Other than that I love it. I also like the large display. I havent had a problem with it so far.

I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. The only thing I can really say that I am unhappy with is the short battery life. You can download apps to help with this such as battery doctor, juice defender, and advanced task killer which kills those programs that are consistently running in the background. I absolutely adore Android and would never go with another OS (Operating System). Most of the applications are free and the ones that aren't are very cheap. The phone works great, downloads are fast, gps that comes with it without a fee is awesome, the fact you can wifi as well is a big seller in my books. I have had my phone for months and haven't had a problem with it. I would recommend this phone to anyone and give it a 9/10!!!!! (-1 for the battery life)
