If you already have unlimited data and swap phones and renew your contract you can keep unlimited. I had an iPhone and I still have unlimited. If you have some other non-smartphone data plan then yes you have to upgrade data plans.
[Captivate General] SkateEmerica987:
Like everyone else said, it just depends on your level of use and amount of time on wifi. I have wifi at home, but not at school where I use the majority of my data. I've only had the phone for one month, and I was around 350mb at the end. I have the 2gb plan but I was pretty modest about my usage the first month just to gauge how much I can use. I'll probably be over a gig this next month.
[Captivate General] Slc60:
I had unlimited switching from the iphone to my cappy, but for some reason I could not keep it... which sucks. But I got the 2gb plan, for which I have yet to hit over 300mb of data. So all is well even if you don't get unlimited.

Just depends on what you want to do with your phone... like wifi all the time like you said, now that can be a major factor.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
You could go along with 200 MB plan if you are careful on what you use when on network. I took a history of my data usage for the last 12 months, and hardly used about 150 MB of the limit. I got my captivate when it came out, and I think like a week back, for the first time, I got a text saying I crossed 65% of the limit. This is with 4 email accounts, and occasional market downloads, and normal accessing for weather, etc, and occasional maps.

As long as you can keep in mind and not go for streaming audio/video apps when on network, u should be good with the 200 MB plan.

I would suggest to take this, see a couple months, and if you feel you are consistantly nearing the limit, u could try seeing how to alter that.

But if you reach ur limits within a week or two, then u could upgrade urself to the 2GB data plan at that point of time. This way u could say a few $$$ and still be able to check out which plan suits u best. Since AT&T has the option to back date a plan, u can get ur 2GB data plan started from the start of billing cycle so u can utilize the whole 2GB.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Forgot to mention something earlier. I was on the iPhone unlimited data plan for 2 years. When I checked history, I never used more than 150-160 MB more than a couple times, and in those two times it exceeded 'cos I was changing cities and used maps extensively. Based on this history, I took the 200 MB plan when I switched to Captivate.
[Captivate General] SULL3N:
Got my unlimited data back!!!!!

So just for a quick update I managed to get my unlimited data reinstated with the help of a lovely young woman at an ATT store. So I walked into the store with my pops and propositioned her (me.... jk ) two new lines on my plan only if she could help me with this little debacle. She kinda hesitated and gave me the same shpeel as the corp reps, but I politely told her the company was full of BS, not her, and that they would end up losing 1 longtime enterprise customer instead of gaining 2 more. Which is bad for their business.

So she agreed and began the phone calls to corp. for me. The associate had two hang up on 2 service reps before she finally got somewhere with the 3rd. She had to jump thru so many loops and was even getting rude customer service reps from corp giving her the run around. She basically told me they have done this in the past for another customer but get shot down by corp 90% of the time. It took her a little over a hour and a half of arguing to finally get them to cave.

I expressed my appreciation for her stressful phone ordeal cuz I dont have the patience to deal with customer service and exchanged numbers with her. I offered to take her out for a drink sometime. I knew my devilish good looks would pay off sooner or later.

Good luck to the rest of you who still have yet to succeed. If I can do it, so can you?

I've done the same...unfortunately not getting a date out of it! But over the last few years, with having an HTC Tilt II and now my Captivate, I've received calls/emails from AT&T on a few months where I hit around 12gb's of data, wanting to "discuss my usage. I travel for my work so I average 6-7gb's monthly on streaming/emails/chat/etc. A few years ago, the 1st time I went over 10gb's I received a call from AT&T. Then the 2nd time it happened, I noticed they switched my service to the 2GB plan. The 1st time, I contacted AT&T and basically just told the sales guy (after they tried getting me to get a "tethering" plan) "sayanara, I'm canceling my plan and going to Tmobile...thanks for your time". The customer service guy totally backed down, and just said "in the future, if you continue to go over that much, a rep maybe contacting you". I didn't hear from them again for over a year. Then I got the Captivate and hit 10gbs after the 1st month, and noticed they changed my plan from unlimited to the 2gb plan (without my consent). I went to the AT&T store to complain, I put my phone on the counter, took out my memory and sim cards, and said "I want to cancel my account NOW, if I have to pay a term fee so be it, I'm tired of this crap and moving on". A very nervous, but very nice customer service chick helped me, she called their corp office, just like your case, spent about 45min on the phone, but was able to get me back on the unlimited plan. So in my experience, if you act very perturbed and say your cancelling your contract like right now, AT&T will usually back down.

I still have my $30 unlimited data plan, which is titled "for iphone" in their notes, but I've been using it since the 3g first came out, and haven't had any issues switching / keeping it active

I'm on Fido with $30/month 6GB plan... I think once I surpassed the 1GB mark. Will I give up my plan when it's time to renew or upgrade phone? no way... :-) I plan on using more data if I get a Captivate (will use WIFI hotspot more).

[G Tablet Accessories] Acturbo:
I also noticed the little bubbly things on the inside smudged the fingerprints on the screen and made little circles everytime I took it out of the case =). Not a big deal I guess, but had to wipe it down everytime I took it out of the case.

Ended up getting an incase case from Marshalls for $12. Its also intended for a netbook but its tighter on the sides so even though theres quite a bit of room up top it doesnt move so much since its snug on the sides.
[G Tablet Accessories] zengen:

[G Tablet Accessories] guitar geek:
Walmart case

I bought one of the sears cases. While I liked the idea of having handles, I felt that it did not offer enough protection for the Gtablet. So now I use it to carry my power supply and keyboard/mouse in.

I found this case at Walmart and it fits the Gtablet great. I have not had any problems with it causing the power on button to be depressed. I left the foam padding in the case to further protect the screen. I paid 17.99 for it. But I have seen it as high as 22.99

But I assume if you tried to push in from the sides you could force it to come on.

Hope this helps:)

This is the exact same one that Sears is selling in Viewsonic packaging. If you can find one at Sears, it is/was on sale for $5.99. I bought 2 (one for each g tablet in my house):D If you let it air out for a day or two the smell goes away.

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Nothing wrong with your tablet. You just dont have all the drivers installed. There is an OpenGL driver floating around here that Angry Birds and other programs require.

I recommend that you spend some time reading and you will find pretty much everything you need to know.

[Windows Phone 7 General] voodooutt:
Well, I had posted that my phone was getting errors and telling me to uninstall the side-loaded apps when I tried to run them. I had not used the chevron tool to re-lock the phone, so naturally I thought ms had done something to get rid of the homebrew apps. It was not until someone here just said you're phone is locked, just re-unlock it. So I did, and i am now able to load homebrew apps. I have not yet plugged my phone back into the computer since I've re-loaded the homebrews.. So I'm not sure if it will re-lock again, or if this was just a quirk.

But as I read the sticky in this forum... Its not ms doing this.

So I tried out the gps software with the dhd and none of it seemed to work, either I couldnt get a data connection (currently using a prepaid plan and have no credit) or it couldnt get a lock or the maps werent there.

How much of an increase on battery life did you notice?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Just got it like an hour ago. Gonna take a few days at least before I can determine the battery life of it. Will be updating the original post as I go.

Plan to charge it to 100% early this evening. Calibrate it. Destroy it overnight with movies and whatever playing in a loop. Wake up and recharge it timing how long it takes to recharge.

Then the testing begins.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:

[Epic 4G Accessories] playcs:
muyosa, i got the same. if you read the seido's version, it will tell you to leave it plugged in for another 2/3 hours for maximum performance. However, when the blue led comes on, i notice that my phone stops charging and the battery begins to drop.

To get around this, have it plugged in and in use either playing music, on the phone, or tethered. This will keep it charging when it's at 100%. You should calibrate it from there

I forgot to calibrate it but i charged it to 100%. So far, it's pretty good. It appears to be giving me at least double the amount of juice on stock froyo.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ultra78721:
Does the back cover have a lump or is it strait so it makes the phone look even from the back? Any links to the seller and how long did the shipping take?

My sister also has an epic and is awaiting to see mine when it gets here.

I ordered the 2800 one from moretalktime last night cause of the review.

And the back cover has a lump ,which the low part of the cover fits flush with the camera.

Never mind it has a lump on it...do you guys think the back cover that is flush which makes the camera lens seem like if its in a hole ,would interfere with the lighting and shadowing of the camera lens ?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I ordered it on November 25th. It arrived today. If it had a flat back, then there would be a large empty space in the back of the phone. Also, the camera would be affected if the case was bulgy all the way. Even the Seido case reduces all around the camera to the stock thickness.

Not a prollem...and I know this is official stuff but am I the only one who'd like to see a (no homo) after u say somethin like "what kind of thickness are you from the back" lol...

But anyway...the stock cover is 1.5cm from back to front and the extended back is precisely 2.0cm adding .5cm total....doesn't inconvenience functionality one bit and actually is a nice grip to hold onto while holding the phone portrait ways upright.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Updated the original post with some initial testing. Battery is looking pretty damn strong so far.

To clarify, the math I did to obtain the true mAh of the 3500mAh battery is as follows.

Assuming the stock battery is truly 1500mAh and it ran for 281 minutes:

1500/281=5.33807 -> mA per minute used while playing HD video

The 3500 mAh battery played HD video for 558 minutes, thus:

5.33807*558=2978 -> Crude estimate of true battery capacity

I adjusted the rating of the stock battery to 95-98% of 1500 to make the estimates a bit more accurate in the original post. This is only a representation of the method I used to obtain those numbers, which again are crude estimates.

If I have made some giant mistake, someone please correct me.

Edit: Updated original post with a link to more photos.

[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Thanks for the great review, The only thing I don't understand is the measurement. Is the phone size doubled?

3500 mAh

thickness - 10mm

1500 mAh stock

thickness - 5mm

Because reading the yaboo review he say's:

1.5cm back to front with stock battery cover.

2.0cm back to front with extended battery cover.

So this means that the yaboo cover is thinner than the 3500mh one's? I assumed that they were all the same size.
