Samsung I9000 Galaxy S vs. Apple iPhone 4: Collision course

06 August 2010
It’s not like you’re out of options. Here’s one. Another one would be to get a friend’s iPhone 4 and another friend’s Galaxy S, put them on a table, close your eyes and… tell your friends to bugger off. Or you can do it the old-fashioned way. Flip a what...

            [deleted post]but exactly, you dont own a galaxy do you. Trust me get out of the apple loving world you live in. YEs they make good phones. BUT how can a phone that DROPS CALLS be better than a phone that doesn't. I just dotn see the logic of the fight when you are comparing the aspect of making calls.

              I totally agree with this review in every single aspect.
              I own both Galaxy S and iPhone 3GS. A friend of me gave me his iPhone 4 for couple of days asking me to jailbreak and unlock his phone.
              So I could make comparison with my own eyes and I can confirm these 2 are the best smartphones out there. Far more superior to all other and almost equal to each other.
              Anyway I would go for iPhone 4, if I didn't have 3GS already.

                        hi,i think both the phone are unique in their own ways,some people may love the galaxy s,some the appple i phone,the rating really doesnt matter,if we rate the iphone in south korea,they will rate it at 6/10 and also the iphone is very costly,lets all not froget,the basic use of a phone is to make and recv calls

                              I didn't know GSM Arena had become an American site, seeing as one of their complaints was about Google Voice which is only available in the US and so is irrelevant to anyone else.

                              So how's the Symbian version of Google Voice coming along, naturally I expect whether the N8 has it will be used to take a few points off it's score.

                              FM radio is worth points but there is no mention of streaming music services, what is this 1985 or something, get with the times GSM Arena, I think I'll listen to worldwide FM stations via Internet streaming, why should I be stuck with local stations which are mainly ad filled trash.

                                  Bluetooth that allows connection to the rest of the world (this has v3) is a must. Iphone:0. Rest of world:1.

                                      even iPad's Netflix app confirmed that the company is in the process of hiring Android developers which will enable users to stream Watch Instantly content on Android smartphones

                                      u want to know wat they said:“With the way Android is blowing up it would be stupid of us to ignore that.”
