It's tough to believe just how many months ago we reviewed Froyo. It was sunny, summer evening in 2010 when Android 2.2 began hitting the Nexus One, and now, over half a year later, some phones are still awaiting the update. Samsung's Galaxy S line has been a huge hit for the company, with over 10 million units sold worldwide and a version on every major carrier in the U.S. But for whatever reason, Froyo has been very slow to come to these phones. AT&T's version has been left Froyo-less for quite a long while, but it looks as if the company is hoping to correct that. The Froyo update for the Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of the Galaxy S) is finally upon us. Updating your phone isn't...

A few weeks ago, we took a closer look at the Samsung Captivate from AT&T. We liked what we saw then, though we'll never complain about new features and functionality that are suppose to make things even better. A new update from AT&T and Samsung Mobile promises just that. Over the next few weeks, Samsung and AT&T will be rolling out an over-the-air update for all Captivate users. The update is said to improve the Captivate's GPS performance. It will also improve media scanning time and address Microsoft Exchange 2003 policy support. You'll also get the full version of Quickoffice with the update. Here's the official word from Samsung Mobile: An update to improve the Samsung Captivate's...

Smartphone manufacturers have been using very boastful smartphone names lately—everything from the HTC Droid Incredible to the Motorola Droid X (where X stands for extreme). Certainly with names such as these, expectations will be high. We've already taken a look at both of these phones and deemed them to be worthy competitors in today's smartphone market. Samsung is following in line with this trend of offering a smartphone with a name that tends to evoke great expectations with its Captivate smartphone. As one of four smartphones in the company's Galaxy S line of devices, the Captivate boasts of a number of compelling features including a 1GHz processor, 4-inch screen, and a price that's...

AT&T launched the Captivate (below), its Samsung Galaxy S variant, on Sunday, as scheduled. With that, it was the third launch of a hot Android device since Thursday. Indeed, Thursday was a day with a twin set of Android device launches. On Thursday, Verizon launched the Motorola Droid X, while T-Mobile simultaneously launched the Vibrant, its own Samsung Galaxy S variant. Both the Captivate and Vibrant (below) have 16GB of internal storage, and use a Samsung Hummingbird CPU, along with a Super AMOLED screen. Neither of them has a front-facing camera or an LED flash, however. Additionally, the Captivate is saddled with AT&T's restriction against sideloading apps (installing...
