Well, there are 32 pages of comentary's about SGS but i realize that only a small part of them actually use a SGS for more than a month.
The iPhone4 is really beautifull, but the plastic crap of SGS allow swapping my battery.... GPS problems ?? Yes, at first, but 10 minutes of reading and 2 minutes to aply what i read is enough to make it work properly.
Performance, Lag ?? Yes, SGS was not the real deal when is bought, i prefered HTC desire.... But but 10 minutes of reading and 2 minutes to aply what i read .... You know what comes next ....
Problem with KIES ?? Of course, i´m a W7 user ... But but 10 minutes of reading and 2 minutes to aply what i read ....
After 1 day after i bought my SGS, i must confess that i would trade it for a iPhone4, but after 30 minutes of reading and 6 minutes to aply what i read ....
I love my .MKV files, my .XVID files... And i don´t have iTunes in my computer, i don´t need it .....

Ah yeah, haven't you Apple fanboys the report that the iPAD's display was procured from Samsung?! Samsung is the new Toshiba now. It provides vital pieces of components for mobile phones and some other gadgets. iPhone-4 and iPAD use Samsung's "Hummingbird" processor. Aside from the fact that iPAD uses a Samsung-provided display. Apple hasn't even issued statements to refute these facts because they're true. Samsung allows fair competition. Google articles about these facts and READ them fanboys!!!!

Anonymous, 23 Sep 2010how on earth is it useless?! Now its actually an EVEN shoot... moreDuh, voodoo fix is ONE FIX that takes 30 seconds to install... you put the file in your sd card... turn on your phone with a 3 button combo, it takes 20 seconds to install and you're done, color fixed, lag fixed...
That's about ten time less the time it takes to upgrade to a upper iOS version rofl...
My point by saying it's useless is that both phones are moving at the same speed when talking about improvements.
And no sorry a working proximity sensor and antenna design flaw is way more an issue than a 2 second lag when deleting an image or not being able to lock gps at 1 meter precision indoors.
Btw samsung is fixing all those minor issues in the 2.2 rom update of android.
Just to say that while the iphone community is totally helpless with a simple proximity sensor threshold setting, the xda android community is doing samsung's job two months ahead of them.
Go figure which community are the sharpest spirits.

And that final comment is ludacris. Basically you have to add half a doozen fixes, patches, bug clearers etc to make the sgs workable. Seems silly, shouldny that be the samsungs job from factory?

Hdr exists on android since ages. (That + the awesome night capture mode)
Proximity works like a charm on sgs.
Amoled color balance is fixed by the voodoo patch (it also speeds up the phone by around... 10 times, basically the best lagfix around, and it doesn't even require a root).
etc...

Got my sgs the other day, and my classmate who's an iphone 4 user was totally "meh this flower looks dead on my screen" when we compared the screens with the same hi res picture. I had to point him out that his screen had better resolution (of about 160² pixels) to cheer him up. However his battery life is way better than mine I wonder if it is because I have a faulty battery but I only get about 6 hours of continuous web usage on the sgs, maybe my battery need more cycles dunno. Anyway he was very pissed off because in the afternoon his iphone (that is jailbroken) crashed a few times and he had to boot it in safe mode or smthing to fix it.
Given the price I paid with an ultimited contract (about 69$) for the sgs, the fact that I can have on it voodoo lagfix and launcherpro awesome themes without rooting my device I am for the moment in love with the sgs. The included headphones are very good if you enable the automatic egaliser or disable the default one in advanced service menu. Not GOOD enough for an audiophile but certainly 10x better than the one apple provide for 200$-700$. The music app is very good (with controls on lock screen and notification bar).
Overall the quality of pictures is also nice and web browsing soft and smooth (even with pinch zoom or scrolling).
The only minus I have for the moment is the battery but I am getting a new one soon from my carrier, other people on some forums have SGS that last them 4 days with one charge ffs...

What a load of bull and such a biased and one track review. iphone 4 wins in my books hands down. Reception issues? I've had none. iphone 4 compared to Samsung is like a Merc compared to a shiny red KIA, or a super PC compared to a glorified christmas tree!

Functionality Guys.Why nobody talking the networking ability of sgs. In my company during break time, we sgs gang will use to play N.O.V.A multiplayer because sgs can act as router. Then iphone 4 gang will admire on us our lan ability. Being not a selfish gang, we do let the iphone 4 gang to connect our hosting. Wow , sgs even like iphone 4 user to play together. Now every break time iphone 4 gang will say, “On the router mode and start the war plz”. During night shift, we sgs gang will use company any pc to serve web because it will act as modem router too. Iphone 4 gang can’t because our company policies by admin just block the installation of itunes. Again we sgs not a selfish gang, enable our wifi router to share out 3 connection each to let the iphone 4 gang serve web, facebook, online gaming and etc. Since then , the iphone 4 gang treat us really nice. At home. I’m a lazy guy. I use my sgs to VNC my pc downstair to check my bt download and etc. I use Best EZ explorer to map my pc drive to sgs. I can player any movie files on sgs without conversion direct from my pc map drive. If the movies good , I will transfer to my AC ryan media player as collection from pc with sgs as terminal. I can transfer any content from or through with any party easily with wifi. I feel sgs just great as my companion. For apps . Iphone and Android almost the same. For games iphone leading but for how long. Now android have PSX emulator for PSone rom. Future they ,will have PSP emulator under development for anodroid + froyo 2.2 fully flash support I did think iphone 4 at first but after compare it.i found out it missing really a lot to be perfect too. I can’t share my photo or music through bluetooth with others phone a big minus. It happen with my 3gs when I go Thailand vacation and taking few photos but was noway to share to others phones the photo I take for them until I go home send them.Wow , so anoying.

Anonymous, 07 Aug 2010What a biased review. Especially on the camera part. They... moreMarkating is very powerfull thing. Make thousands of people think the way they want. They made you believe that one small LED in iPhone4 is enough to take pictures or make a video. Have you ever tried to do it with this or any other phone? Of course not, because you would know that you need 100 times more powerful source of light to do it. Only real xenon flash can make it. I'm sure this was the reason GSMarena didn't test it. If you want to say something, say something real.
