AT&T Upgrade: HTC Aria or Samsung Captivate?

Hello

I am a big smartphone fan. Right now I have an ancient HTC Fuze with Energyrom x.x i put on awhile back.

I've always loved HTC phones with Window mobile but I would like to try something else.

I am considering two phones right now. The HTC Aria and the Samsung captivate. Mainly because the cheap upgrade price.

The screen size isnt much of a deal for me.... but i do want the biggest bang for my buck.

I am hardware savvy : keep that in mind.

Also I don't use data very much, but now that i have to pay for it i will use it a little bit.

I would just buy one on ebay but i paid 300 dollars for this fuze on ebay 2 years ago and it's not worth 40 now.

Please only send recommendations from experience.... and i will not consider an iPhone.

Thank you.

    Well both are solid phones, but they do have some differences. The biggest one being the user interface. The Captivate runs samsung's touchwiz, and the aria runs htc sense. Without going into detail, touchwiz isn't bad, but sense is much more polished and just looks better. Secondly their is the screen size, but you said that doesn't matter. I will say this however, i own the captivate, and the screen quality is brilliant. Very vibrant colors and a very responsive screen. Now onto speed and power. The aria has a 600mhz processer, and the captivate has a 1ghz processer (1000mhz) Now that may sound like a huge difference, but it will only be noticed if you do some serious multi-tasking. Both phones do run android 2.2 so that doesnt make a difference. So you really cant go wrong either way, but if price isnt an issue, i would have to reccomend the captivate. But i think you should just go to the closest att store and give the phones a try and see if you get a "connection". Hope this helped.
