This is ultimately about market share for carriers, and popular cell phone models are tools to get share.

Yes but there is one thing you are forgetting....price! My brother just recently switched over to AT&T because of their data plan tier pricing. He really wanted the iPhone 4. But he could not justify paying $200 for an iPhone when he could buy the Captivate for $.01
In my opinion the Captivate is a much better phone for it's OS and features. However on the HW level they are pretty close.
I myself just purchased the Samsung S Vibrant and think it is a excellent phone.
