Samsung Galaxy S lands in two more countries, Brazil and China

05 August, 2010
Samsung Galaxy S made it to Brazil and it seems that along the way it has picked up a strange appendix pointing from its top. Yup, it's a digital TV antenna. Unlike the other Galaxy S versions spread around the globe...

          apple Q&A CONCLUSION :

          Q: Are you doing anything else to address the issue? Perhaps changing hardware?

          A: You know, the 3GS has the same problem. We're getting reports from customers that this is better than the 3GS. So I don't know changing the antenna design would help -- I don't know what our next antenna design will look like.


          (I think maybe appl e no more confidence on their communicated device again..we can see the answer is not so comfirmed..LOL)


          Q: I can't get my Blackberry Bold to drop right now, maybe you can show me how to do it?

          A: You may not see it in certain areas.
          (So..where you tested the other brands phone???You know guys,video sometimes maybe fake..of course I know..you know I means)


          Ryan from gdgt: You showed people almost covering the entire phone in their hand, but on the iPhone 4 it can happen with just a touch. Can you explain that difference?

          Bob: When you touch the phone, you put yourself between the signal and your phone, so when you touch that spot you can attenuate the signal, and if you grip it with your whole hand, you can attenuate it even more. We don't build phones with an antenna on top!!!

          Hmm, that didn't really sound like an answer to us.
          (So you have admited your FAULTY DESIGN???And why you apple blamed other brands phone with model all in antenna on top??? And showing us (consumer) videos "holding whole phone as iphone 4"..and successed to make them dropped bars??? Scam!!!)


          Q: Were you told about the design before the phone was released?

          A: Are you talking about the Bloomberg article? That's a crock, and we've challenged them to show proof that that. If anyone had said this thing has problems, we would have dispatched people to deal with that issue.
          (I juz wanna ask you st3ve j0b,what again significations before apple released the iphone 4??? You re' joked and play fool on your consumer..that's not funny!!! )


          Q: Are you willing to make an apology to investors?

          A: You know we hear from customers who love this phone and have a great experience with it, and we're doing a lot to help them with any issues they're seeing. To investors,you invest in the company we are, so if the stock goes down $5... I don't think I owe them an apology.
          (What about you guy opinions from his explained???You never cares how other people on this earth see at you st3ve j0b..you gotta make everyone trust to your products..not do in a perfunctor y!!!)


          Q: Do you think you're making users choose between form and function?

          A: No, we strive to do both. For instance, we make the phone smaller, so it fits well in your pocket... the Retina Display... it's like a fine printed book, it blows away other displays. It costs a little more, but we made it work. The iPhone 4 is an exterior antenna, so it doesn't live inside the case, we have a larger battery for better battery life. We try to have our cake and eat it too, we try to have great design and great performance.
          (Without zooming everything is still same..I means in web browser or image viewing..so you said that "retina display" is over than human eyes can see,why you made it again??? Rubbish thing..)


          Q: Will there be refunds for AT&T contracts?

          A: I believe so, yes.
          (Why not ??? That's so funny because of your products..sha me..)


          Q: Is there anything you could have said in the launch keynote to lower expectations?

          Steve: (Long answer) Not really. We could have said "hey if you hold the phone in this certain way you might see some signal attenuation..." We're human. We make mistakes, and we figure it out fast. That's why we have the best and most loyal customers in the world.
          (HaHaHa..
          Ya..you re right..we re all human..you too..but you are not in being human..In fact..terrible is when you doing wrong or mistaked and you dont want admit yourself again keep blamed others..again..in the way in unreasonable!!!)


          Q: Well you fixed this bug two years ago, and now you say there's always been a problem...

          A: They're probably unrelated. I honestly don't remember what the issue was before, but they're probably totally separate.
          (Means apple having the same problems in 2years ago??? Now,bugs again..who said apple iphone no bugs???)



          apple is big lier..lying to people..they treated their consumer as fool..

          Now apple compan y is fam0us..fam0us in playing scam and made the badl y products..after that keep blame to other company..

          What the f*ucking wrong with you rotten apple??? !!!

            The freaking/ flawed IPhone 4 badly needs this antenna.

            AT&T why dont u suggest Apple to install it on their IPhone 4 instead of giving free cases, come on, grow up, you(AT&T) have something called as reputation, don't you..

            The Iphone 44 is a JOKE. Dump it and get the sophisticated Nokia N8. Even Mr Jobs has pre- ordered it, that's the only one smart thing Steve has done in his entire life and not to forget the second smart thing that he did was to probably contact the POLICE inorder to arrest the person who picked up the proto- type IPHone 4 from the BAR when the drunk Apple employee left it there after having his booze. All Apple engineers are drunk. They probably need to go to some rehab centre.

            LolZ!!

            Have a nice day ahead..

            Cheers!!

                Unfortunately, most of the mobile stores here in Brazil are partnered with a mobile operator, so they sell unlocked, sim-free mobiles at a very expensive price to force people to buy a subsidized locked mobile at interesting prices but with heavy strings attached.
                Luckily, if you know where to look, there are still some few stores which sell sim-free mobiles cheaper and you can get them usually at half of the price of those sold on partner stores.
                ha, if you think that 1030 euros is expensive, you should have seen the price of the first iphone at it release... you almost had to sell your kid to buy one :D

                    I bought my Milestone in Brazil for 300 dollars on the release week thanks to my cellphone operator. Probably I´ll get the Galaxy S or another better on next year for the same amount.


                    Problem here is almost everybody want a bleeding edge cellphone, but to use as a prepaid...not even a data plan.

                        If they can manage to fit the tv areial in there why cant they fit a flash there for the versions without it :S. I have the galaxy S and love it. Only thing missing is a flash but saying that the camera is ok in low light but not great.

                              In Brazil it is normal to devices like this cost this much, I remember that when N97 was release, launched it cost about the same price and the iPhone costs much more then this Samsung Galaxy S, In Brazil because of a 1844 Act, the import taxes are really high, so, basically, everything that comes from abroad costs the double or 3,4,5 times more then it costs in the origin country

                                  Ow, i live in Brazil and 2400 reais is really heavy, but here, everything is heavy, for exemple ( 1 dollar = ~ 1,80 reais)

                                  the cost here of:
                                  iphone 2000 ~ 900 U$
                                  SE X10 1999 ~ 900U$
                                  Milestone 1799 ~ 750U$
