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...

    It was my complete mistake to chose iPhone4.

    My new 1st iPhone4 display black out and over heated on the 1st time charging. I've got a replacement of 2nd iPhone4 but it is also keep resetting and hangup and service center offer to replace the 3rd iphone. Both faulty iPhone are confirm hardware problem. I don't belive i am too unlucky on earth...it is definitely the design flaw. If you still think iPhone4 is best, good luck to you. When you hold (especially with left hand), the signal also drop from 3 bar to 1 bar. This phone must be the terminator for Apple.

    Worst still, the service.......I decided to change to Galaxy S but there is pushing and blaming each other between Apple Service and Singtel (carrier) Service. The fact is that once you buy iPhone, you are in a Deep-Sxxx and impossible to return. I was told by Telco that I have to return to Apple but Apple accepted first but after 5 days delay, Apple told me to return only to Telco. They told me only accept return for Signal Reception drop issue only after I have been waiting for the return process. Not only that, I have to wait 40 minutes to get through the iPhone4 return number (1800-6927753 option 5) whenever I need to call. I need to talk to 5 different people from iPhone and none of them follow up and the DEAD iPhone is in my hand for one week and I am stuck in between the Apple - Telco pushing each other.

    It was a long story..Singtel telco finally accepted me to exchange with Galaxy only after I have told them that I will publish the issue and to write to CEO. I will share my experience to wherever and whenever possible. I do not hate any mobile before but APPLE iPhone4.

      I'd also mention that in the JM6 firmware the gps setting issue is already fixed by samsung.

          I cannot make bars drop on over thirty iPhone 4's I have now tested, they don't drop calls, data doesn't slow down.

                    The thing is that Iphone is only good marketing. I´m working with cell phones everyday and I have never found a good enough reason to buy a Iphone... The price is way over it´s value.

                        i hope eventually they get to combine the small pixels of the retina display with the properties of Super Amoled... that would be a sight to see indeed!

                              All my friends have an IPhone and I have a Samsung Galaxy and from what I can tell it wipes the floor with the IPhone the difference in the LED Screen size makes life a lot easier in reading and dealing with Apps.

                              IPhone would be an 8.5/10 and the Galaxy 9/10.
