The title is not a typo, I’m really comparing the Galaxy S to the Galaxy S. Join me. Here’s the version many of us have seen, and I held in my hands (salivating with desire, I might add) at the Google I/O Conference:
And here’s the Samsung Captivate, announced by At&T today, and heralded as AT&T’s brand for the Samsung Galaxy S.
Something does not compute ( and I don’t mean the phones, these babies are blazing fast). But either they are not both the Samsung Galaxy S, or this name refers to an entire family of devices, not just one specific model. The latter does not make too much sense to me: Samsung Galaxy can be a family name, without the “S”. Case in point: Samsung Galaxy Tab .
What gives? Does anyone have an explanation? Samsung, feel free to chime in. Oh, and please release this baby while I am still within the 30-day period of my HTC EVO 🙂

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two is that the Captivate has more buttons at the bottom than the original Galaxy S. Also, the Captivate has a gyroscope and I’m not sure if the Galaxy S does.
Correct, and yes confusing. They are both the Galaxy S, but for different companies. The top, more sexy one, is the Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile. While the other is the Samsung Captivate for AT&T. They are both in the Galaxy S family, but have difference “codenames”.
Oh, and for Sprint it’s the EPIC 4G and for Verizon it’s the Fascinate…all Samsung Galaxy S
As well the top pne have a front facing camera and the ATT model (captivate) does not.
Galaxy S has a secondary camera which the Captivate does not have. Galaxy S also has better 3g frequencies and TV out function. The Galaxy S captivate has more button at the bottom and also a gyroscope which I am not sure the Galaxy S has.
who better samsung galaxy s or captivate???
