Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S)
Is Bluetooth Crippled on this Phone? Any other Crippling?
Historically at&t has not crippled Bluetooth on their phones (besides the iPhone), specifically the ability to transfer files on/off the phone. But given their other imposed limitations, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Can anyone confirm if the Bluetooth is crippled?
In general, are there any other limitations at&t has imposed (beyond no 3rd party apps)?
I really want this phone, but I'm so used to unlocked/unbranded phones and I'd like to know what's crippled relative to an unlocked version.
Thanks in advance.

The file transfer isn't something AT&T would control. thats a software issue. and no one knows because its a worthless spec. focus on the important things.
As far as branded phones go, sideloading is only available on blackberry and windows devices.

I respectfully and completely disagree. Bluetooth profiles are something at&t, and any carrier, can control. Verizon has been crippling Bluetooth profiles for years under the guise of "security". Like I said, at&t historically doesn't do this, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
As for being a useless feature, I again completely disagree. The ability to get files on and off my phone without a physical connection is, to me at least, a very useful feature. One that I admittedly don't use very often, but still useful.

I totally agree with you. That is the deal breaker with me on the iPhone. The iPhone can use its bluetooth for a head set but Apple will not allow file transfers!! What a bunch of crap.
I have owned other phones and the ability to transfer your pics and files without plugging in a dam cable is a BIG benefit to me!!
