Got mine August 2010. If I had to buy the Captivate again today, no, I would not. Their are simply too many other phones that are available that are better. Dual core, faster processors, LTE/HSPA+, better cameras etc etc.
But if I could go back in time, yes I would buy this phone again in a heartbeat. It was the best thing coming out of AT&T at the time, not to mention one of the best selling series of phones ever. Sure, it doesn't have flash, but I'm buying a phone, not a camera. It has a 5MP instead of a 8 like the Droid X, I can live it, it looks great. No front facing camera--fine, I don't want/would never use that feature anyways. The Snapdragon is a snappy processor by nature. My GPS worked great with Eclair, Froyo, and now with Gingerbread. It does everything I need it to do and does it well. I never had the random shutdowns either, I think they were rather overplayed. 16GB of storage, expandable to another 16GB (maybe more with GB?) Battery life is good with Background Data on and just syncing Gmail mail.
