would you get this phone again?

Absolutely, without even a slight hesitation!
The slow gps was annoying at times but nothing that I couldnt live with. Actually, I have a skyrocket through work and I find myself still using my Captivate more than the Skyrocket. IMO, Cappy is perfect size, was very powerful and capable at the time (still is!) And as far as battery life goes, Ive had mine since August 2010, about a month ago I was getting terrible batt life. Probably 8 hours max, and that was not doing anything really. I wiped the phone back to stock just to play around with other roms, eventually put the official GB rom back on it and installed all my apps again. I can't explain why but I now consistently get around a day and a half of battery life. With moderate use too! and that's with a year old battery!

If i could put the LTE and GPS radios from my Skyrocket into my Captivate it would be the perfect phone!

If the new Galaxy S from Samsung used a form factor similar to that of the Captivate I'd buy it in a heartbeat (but we all know that won't happen). I still say it's one of the best designed phones I've ever owned. Of course I wouldn't use my upgrade in 2012 on a Captivate, but I don't regret buying it in 2010. I'm using an Atrix now and there are days when I miss different aspects of the Captivate. I wish more Android phones would put the power button on the side of the phone.

It was a fine piece of hardware with a fantastic screen and camera, and has a fast processor, but was a piece of work software wise. I got it the first day it was in sale, upgraded to a cognition rom in october, then to cyanogen 7 in summer 11. It taught me alot about android and rooting, roms etc. In december i got a skyrocket which smokes it in almost every catagory but ive installed an ics rom on the captivate and it is still a great phone

NO!!!!! I have two weeks until I get SKYROCKET, I hope & pray its not a piece of junk like the captivate.
I have only had the phone for 17 months and paid FULL PRICE 500$. First thing it did was continually turn itself off(I put captivate stay alive on it and that helped) in the last 5 months it has FROZEN, turned itself off, not rang(even though I have the ringer up full blast, it just won't ring, even if I am right in front of it) and half the time when I call someone , they say it rings, but I can't hear them, the screen is blank..the last 6 months have just been a nightmare. Frankly I have never had this many issues with a phone before, its like it is possessed.:-!
