I have the Captivate, and it's a great phone. There have been several homebrewed GPS fixes out there, and the results have overall been positive, so I'm thinking the odds are good that Samsung's fix will improve things.

You'll purchase an untested, new handset running on completely new software written from the ground up because the alternative phone has a single issue that they're fixing.
Good luck on that one, prepare for countless issues on that WP7 P.O.S.

Really? That's like those idiots who were so upset with Apple's response to the iPhone 4 'antennagate' situation they bought an Android handset. That's like getting upset over a minute detail and buying a complete piece of crap as a result. So over a ...

App settings........
Operation mode: MS based

one more thing
Turn Wifi off before you start an app

Thanks!! This seems to have worked like a champ on my Vibrant!
Didn't know there was a problem...
I've had my Captivate for a few weeks and have not experienced problems with the GPS. It always seems very quick to get a lock, and I get several satellites while in the middle of my house (not even by a window). I do usually have the wifi on, so maybe that's helping.
Serioually, I have several Garmin products, including an iQue 3600 PDA/GPS, a ForeRunner 201 and a ForeRunner 205 for running. And none of those come close the to performance I'm getting with my Captivate. This phone is amazing!
