New Phone: Samsung Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I897 via AT&T network

Well... today was a great day for FedEx finally delivered my replacement phone for the Samsung Infuse 4G I returned over a week ago to Costco.  My second Android phone is the... Samsung Galaxy S - Captivate (model# SGH-i897). Fortunately, I have a great co-worker friend, we'll call him "Lukas" and he was able to guide me through the steps of rooting my phone and installing the Gingerbread Beta 1 2.3.3 OS. So far, so good running the new or quasi new Android Operating System.  In between calls and e-mail I was able to quickly download the twenty-plus apps I was using on the other Android phone, synchronize my two e-mail accounts, and now Amazon MP3 player is download music from its' Cloud Player.

Then, I updated my GPS by doing the following quick and easy steps
1. open up the phone app
2. dial the following: *#3214789650#
3. choose - Settings, SUPL Settings, and change the server to supl.google.com
4. finally, modify the server port to 7276
Now the GPS locator chip works much more responsively than previous
