I just got a note from my “best friends at Rogers” with this news:
Just wanted to give you a heads up that we’ve published an update on RedBoard on the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate launch. After several manufacturer delays, we have received our first shipment of the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate smartphone. This morning, we began shipping these units to retail locations and a limited supply of inventory will be in stores over the next few days.
There are additional details on RedBoard, including a statement from Samsung and a demo video.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing one of these phones as this phone has an Super AMOLED screen which claims to be the most advanced on the market. Of course there’s a certain guy named Steve that may argue that point. In any case, the phone is $149.99 with select three-year term voice and data plans until November 2. After that it’s $179.99 if you sign your wallet away to Rogers for 3 years.
