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...

iphone is a crap phone compared to an android phone. The only good thing is the apps store, over 100,000 apps. well android's got over 75,000 apps. i keep telling this stupid people your only probably lets say each app was 10mb (there some that are even 100mb) 1gb= 1,000mb (estimated)
apple has 32gb maximum which is 32,000mb
32,000/10= 3,200 apps out of 100,000
be realistic your not even going to download 1,000 apps
also why pay more for apps and not a good os (android)
everyone is just buying it for popularity... soon you will realise..
anyhoo samsung wave is going to be the best :)

        The Galaxy S runs circles around the Iphone 4. Ive owned the Captivate on ATT for about a week and it is by far the best smart phone I have ever had. Currently playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES emulator while streaming Avator from phone in 720p to my 42in HDTV all without even having to root it. Tethering to the netbook Im writing this on now for free with EasyTether(still got my unlimited data from Att). Now that is what you call multitasking. The screen is unbelievable, you really have to see it in real life to appreciate it. I dont take many pictures with my phone but the Night Mode on this phone might be a viable substitute for a flash. All in all I agree 100% with this review. Some of you Apple folks really dont know what you're missing out on.

          Work supplied everyone with iPhone 4's today and I currently have a Galaxy S as my personal phone so this article really grabbed my attention for obvious reasons. However there is a clear bias towards the Samsung in this article as half their scores and opinions are honestly outrageous when you compare the phones side by side. I must admit I thought I had done the right thing getting a Galaxy, bigger screen, amoled, no antennegate etc... But it is just chalk and cheese. The screen is just so responsive, the UI so much quicker and the overall feel of the phone is far more fun. The app store is brilliant in comparison and the only thing I have missed today is my widgets :( Antenna issue hasn't hit me yet though, so you may get an unhappy review from me later on if it is as bad as they say!

                    Honestly - iTunes? Thats why I do not want an iPhone
                    iTunes is the worst and slowest thing ever
                    thats all I hear is problems with people syncing or using a new computer and nothing works or they lose all their music or something

                    iTunes is garbage and the reason why I will never use iPod/iPhone

                    I prefer to drag my media to sd card and/or internal storage without having to use that error prone piece of garbage iTunes

                              Seriously the people who think a apple ipod has the best quality sound should just try out creative zen or the microsoft zune's. IT IS FACT THAT YOU GET SHYT HEADPHONES WITH A IPOD. How can many people with that shyt....could even know what amazing sound quality could be?

                              The clarity and bass sounds so dull on a ipod!

                              a simple way to show you guys how a ipod sounds like is to load up winamp on your pc on normal equalizers then switch it on ROCK and hear the clarity with great bass.

I have a MacBook pro, and hoped that itunes would be more acceptable on a Mac than on windows. For me, it doesn't. I hate iTunes so much compared to other media library programs, such as the excellent jriver media player, that I have made up my mind that I won't use it anymore. Which means that I'll have to ditch my iPhone 3G, and not upgrade to the 4g. So soon my next phone will be the galaxy. Mainly because of iTunes. Many may like iTunes, but tastes differ and I find it incomprehensible that apple forces me to use a particular program for my music library.

When looking into the apps, Samsung Galaxy is totally wicked. With Wifi tethering and many others, this phone deserve to WIN !
                                      (GO SAMSUNG) but, I don't hate Apple. Their products are just fine.
