    Captivate update went fine, but I wish I had not done it.

    i feel the exact same way. i am ticked off mad.:mad: looks like only option is to somehow re-vert back to the previous software (don't know how) or root the phone and use the wifi tethering option. like to do the former, resisting the latter.
