02 July, 2011
According to the latest survey by Nielsen, 38% of mobile phone users in the US now own a smartphone. Also, out of all the people who purchased phones in the last three months, 55% purchased a smart...

Tom-Helge, 08 Jul 2011If your not totally blind, the first Galaxy S phone was in ... moreTom... Your point is inconclusive since the iPhone link ALSO has older iPhones mentioned. And since we are talking about 80 million iPhones sold vs 13 million galaxys I guess that sorta makes you the BLIND fanboy.

And remember Samsung and the BELOW THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE customer satisfaction rating.

Owned.

Your phone overheats... BADLY!

      Tom check out this, i remember some here put the year old phone satisfaction stats and samsung was at bottom.

      Here's the new fresh stats: http://thecellphonejunkie.com/2011/03/19/iphone-still-on-top-for-customer-satisfaction-says-jd-power/

      See who won the fifth time in a row and see who is second last :D apple five star, samsung two star, pathetic :D Yes nice samsung phones, clearly all users like them like you do. if you get only two star average the phones clearly has have a lot of problems. Like galaxy s2 has too.

      LOL!

                When it have sold 3 million units of the Galaxy S II just after 55 days, even before it's released in the US, i can then for sure that they will sell quite more than just 10 million units.

                  Samsung is trying to sell 10 million galaxy s2 this year, Apple trying to sell 25 million iPhone 5.

                  It's not who can sell more at first, it's who can keep good sells after months. Apple always been best on that, iPhone 4 year old phone, still sells more than any else smartphone out there.

                    AnonD-1825, 07 Jul 2011Wondering how many will going to buy galaxy s2 after notice... moreIt's the most selling Android phone in the world so far except for the Galaxy S that was a massive success because the phone was so good.

                    Galaxy S sold 3 million units the first 85 days, where Galaxy S II used 55 days to get to 3 million sold units. So by this, Galaxy S II will soon be the most selling phone in the world.

                    So clearly, NO ONE is buying Galaxy S II.

                    Just wait until it gets released in the US, then we'll see.

                    And do you think peoples cares that a phone gets a little hot (that is not a problem for the phone) in the same way as all iPhone 4 users ignore the fact that iPhone 4 have a faulty antenna design (that is a huge hardware failure on Apples part) when they buys it?

                    They care that they can get the best phone in the world.

                    EDIT: Oh when it comes to overheating, then lol, check how many hits i get on this: http://www.google.com/webhp?esrch=instantpreviews#sclient=psy&hl=no&esrch=instantpreviews&biw=1920&bih=833&site=webhp&source=hp&q=iphone+4+overheating&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=36ef2ac031c2bcbe

                    And then you check the hits on this haha: http://www.google.com/webhp?esrch=instantpreviews#sclient=psy&hl=no&esrch=instantpreviews&site=webhp&source=hp&q=galaxy+S+II+overheating&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=36ef2ac031c2bcbe&biw=1920&bih=833

                    Clearly, even iPhone 4 have more overheating problems that Galaxy S II.

                    HAHA you got so owned pal.

                      Wondering how many will going to buy galaxy s2 after noticed the overheating problem which clearly is very big problem. Just write overheating galaxy s2 to google and there's so many hits.

                      Soon the news are all over internet.

                      Samsung you FAILED!

                        And i would really like to see a link to that forum post about that.

                        But yeah, soneone will be unlucky with their phones specially when you buy a phone from a company that sells tons of the mobilephone you are getting.

                        The more the company is selling of their phone, the more we will see peoples that are unlucky to get a faulty phone.

                        And it's the same with the iPhones to.

                        I know alot of peoples that have many problems with their iPhones to, so it's nothing special that someone with a Galaxy S II comes over some problems to.

                        But as far as my Galaxy S II is, it's not overheating to that point that it gets very hot. It gets a little hot, but that's it.

                        And i have some few problems with some very few programs that gets some force closes sometimes, but that's because of the programs and not Android.

                        The rest of the phone is a dream to use. No problems what so ever except for the things over i told.

                            But what you DON'T get is that the fault iPhone 4 have with it's antenna, is something that is not possible to fix by updating the software or by getting a new iPhone 4 device. It's permanent.

                            So the problems you claim it to have is either faulty units or software problems that are possible to fix.

                            So no problems really.

                            Oh, for the reply you posted longer down, then take a look at this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7309753/text.txt

                            EDIT: And my name is not Tommy, but Tom-Helge. I have an uncle that is called Tommy.

                              [deleted post]Just because i said i don't belives EVERYTHING on the internet, it doesn't mean i don't have to believe anything.

                              Ofc, i believes in something. And something of what i mean is 99.9% sure that it will happen is that iPhone 5 will get the same hardware as iPad 2.

                              End of story.

                              Either the next iPhone will be a poor update of the current iPhone 4, like iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS, or it will be a new update where it gets the same hardware as the iPad 2 have.

                              When i say same hardware, i'm talking about CPU, GPU and RAM.

                              Yeah it's about time Apple have to start copying things from others when Apple freaking sucks at making new things for their well feature lacking OS. They already started to fail back in 2009 when other smartphones / smartphone OS'es started to get much better than the iPhones then.

                              Can you tell me what's looking so good with an UI you first of all, can't change on anything, and secondly, when it looks like this: http://images.macrumors.com/article/2010/06/21/170222-ios4.jpg

                              Then you look on how Android looks: http://i.imgur.com/LpsWp.jpg and here: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/130/4/3/android_home_screen_by_strobon.png

                              And this one: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/froyo-main-screens-rm-eng.jpg

                              By looking at that, how can you then say the iOS's UI looks good lol?

                              iOS UI looks the same as this: http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/7559/screenhunter01aug060004.gif

                              So yeah, in other words, ugly.

                              Doesn't help that iOS 5 have 200 new things when most of those things are things like API things, background service stuffs and things like that.

                              We want FEATURES that everyone can get the use for. Like external harddrive functionality, support for widgets, support to change themes, being able to change out the web browser, mp3 player, e-mail client and so on and to have bluetooth file transfering + many more handy things.

                              This is something iOS 5 sucks really hard at.

                              Pretty funny that you think it's a big problem that a phone gets a bit hot. Pretty BIG fail on your part eh?

                              I'll rather have a phone that gets a bit hot, that doesn't do any harm or any damage rather than having a phone that you can't even call with because of a faulty antenna design that blocks most of the GSM signals just because you are holding the phone like you should lol.

                              That's what i call PRETTY FAIL.

                              Again you say Comsumer Reports are saying they don't had the antenna problem when they say something else here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD188LlRBGM

                              They doesn't lie about a product that have antenna design flaws.

                              Maybe you should try and find a YouTube link to where they say the iPhone 4 doesn't have the antenna design flaws as you say it doesn't have?

                              I'm waiting for that one haha.

                              EDIT: Nvm, you found out that i'm not lying in here about the iPhone 4 when i'm talking about it's antenna design. Good on you for seeing that i'm not the lying guy in here.

                              Well, maybe Android doesn't rule the world quite yet, but they soon will.

                              And do you know why they will take over the world soon?

                              It's because Android is best mobile OS and because peoples buys Android phones because they don't have to buy iPhones.

                              If they really would buy an iPhone, they would buy it no matter on how many other Android devices that exists.

                              You don't even own the Galaxy S II, so you don't even know what hot means and you don't even know how hot the Galaxy S II even gets.

                              It gets hot yeah, but big freaking deal when the CPU is at 34-36 degree celcius at max load.

                              Hell yeah, THAT'S VERY HOT AYE.

                              The fact is that Samsung makes the best phones in the world no matter if some phones are a little hot.

                              And maybe you don't know this, but there is something wrong if a CPU in a computer today doesn't get hot when you are working with some heavy tasks. Because if it doesn't get hot then, then the heavy task you are going to start is not really going to starting and the CPU is defect.

                              I can even take a picture of the temprature when it's at max load to give you ANOTHER proof just to get you to shut up with your lies.

                              How many pictures and YouTube videos do i have to give you before you can shut up?

                              Oh, i'm pretty damn sure that there is many phones out on the market today that are both much better AND faster than iPhone 4 while being cheaper to.

                              You just say you don't own any iPhone's and you own a Nokia N8 just to get away from the fact that you are trying hard to get us to think that you don't own any iPhones just so you wont be taken as an Apple fanboi.

                              Haha, i got ya there pal.

                              Again, just because the Galaxy S II gets a bit hotter than other phones (because it actually have killer hardware), then it doesn't mean it's a problem just because it gets a little hot.

                              So you can still go away of with your 'omgosh a phone gets a little hot and that is soooooooooooooo much of a problem' propaganda.

                              The phone get s little hot sometimes when i run some games and run more heavy programs, but it's far from getting so hot that you feel it's getting really hot.

                              The CPU that are in the Galaxy S II are designed / builded to run up to around 60-65 degrees celcius in temprature before it will do any damage to the CPU.

                              And again, my CPU on the Galaxy S II is up to around 34-36 degrees celcius at MAX load.

                              So it's all fine.

                              So please defend the LOLiPhone that can't do anything heavy that actually use the CPU to something.

                              Oh also, i rather have the plastic that are on the Galaxy S II ANYDAYS over glass and aluminium. Just look here to find out why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXqnQKs-tA

                              Now, have a nice day.

                                        I could post more. Just Google it everyone.

                                        Tom Helge seems to think the Galaxy S 2 is the best phone ever and claims how Samsung KNOWS how to make phones. Clearly they have a thing or two to learn.

                                        And to Tom - keep something in mind. HTC has been making phones longer than Apple. If any phone maker should be given some forgiveness for messing anything up - its Apple. Why? They are the baby in all of this. Only making phones for 4 years. HTC has been doing this much longer and they screwed up WORSE with their Sensation???? Dropped CALLS, WI-FI, and BLUETOOTH!

                                        See Tom... no phone is perfect. The iPhone has a weird antenna... the Galaxy S2 overheats.

                                        My N8 even drops bars!
