I hate iphone because following flaws
Main disadvantages
Hardware design is prone to reception issues
MicroSIM card support only
No Flash support in the web browser
No true multitasking for all applications
FaceTime video calls work only over Wi-Fi
No file transfer over Bluetooth or USB Mass Storage mode
No hardware shutter key for the camera
No FM radio
No stereo speakers
No microSD card slot
No smart dialing
Too dependent on iTunes for loading multimedia content
Poor loudspeaker performance

I am an owner of Iphone 3gs 16gb, and i really happy to own it. But, the time goes by, my admire to this phone is likely because of best surfing internet phone , best gaming phone, best many apps and tonne others..But,as you, me and others of iphone owners, should acknowledge, why i want to choose samsung galaxy s rather than iphone 4? First: Cheaper!!! Second : Democracy VS Communist(sorry, if i'm wrong) Third : Android can sharing with another phone without to jailbreak or what ever, Iphone..? You should know... Fourth : I'm business minded person, i truly believe , android OS will be the most popular OS regarding of the 'Democracy' (you should aware how google beat yahoo)... Fifth : My personal view, i'm a really gadget freak, so, i always change my phone every 2-4 month or less, and i'm truly absolutely dont want to waste my money on a phone that has 'similar' (Galaxy S win)attributes , i'll choose SAMSUNG GALAXY S as my new phone.....Iphone 4 comes with a bad hardware prob....Will you waste your money for factory defect product ?

Wow I wasn't expecting a comparison between these 2. Iphone 4 is clearly the inferior smartphone. It was only expected that it'd lose in all categories except of those subjective ones like design.

In my country ( Romania) , the cheapest iphone 4 without a contract you can find it on a internet store at 1295 euros , and at the same internet store the Samsung Galaxy S also without a contract costs 460 euros. And keep in mind that you can buy the Galaxy S cheaper from other internet stores for like 400 euros, but the cheapest iphone 4 is 1300 euros. If they would cost aproximatly the same money i really could understand people buying iphone 4`s(although i would still pick the Samsung galaxy S) but at these prices u have to be either ignorant or maybe you have too much money you don`t know what to spend it on.

sam, 08 Aug 2010hi its me again please notice 1- see samsung and most of... moreWhy don't you people get already. How much different can a black touchscreen phone look? And to say the X10, especially, is a copy of the iPhone, you have to be kidding me. Look at HDTVs. They all pretty much look the same regardless of the brand. And tell me how else would someone else organize apps on a homescreen? There is not much room for design when it comes to touchscreen phones especially when it comes to layout of apps. If any of you complaining of "iPhone copies" have any original and very different designs and layouts then I would be happy to hear.

I think both Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone 4 are awesome devices. I would have bought the Galaxy, but the cheap looking plastic body puts me off. Plus, no flash for the camera and the OS just isn't as refined as the iPhone.
The iPhone 4 looks so stunning and the user experience is on a higher level when compared to Android. But the iPhone does have limitations.
I think I will end up buying the iPhone 4, but I will surely jailbreak it. That way, I'll have access to all the Cydia apps (for jailbroken devices) as well as the regular iTunes apps. In addition, I'll be able to install widgets, transfer files using bluetooth, choose my own ringtones and do a great deal more to customize the phone.

Maybe it's because I'm not a fat American and I wash my hands.

Hi Guys I have had the Iphone 4 in Australia for about a week now and have no Issues what so ever. I think the Antenna problem might have been linked to AT&T. The phone is fast and amazing.
Buy one if you want one.

{Tanin quote...Why, as seems usual to gsmarena, isn't an important factor such as battery life discussed here? end quote}
hence i said they did discuss it. They talked about the battery life when playing video.... isnt that good enough? Must they play a whole day of sending 200 txts talking 60 mins on a call just for you?
oh but now you want general use statistics in which case its totally opesite of what your first moaning post was about ;).
They made it clear enough.

I never even owned an iPhone before Mr Genius. That's why I bought the Galaxy..I only used the iPhone 4 after getting my phone and now I wished I had bought the iPhone. Is that so hard to comprehend? Have you never regretted buying something? I still say it's a great phone, I just think the iPhone is better. Can't a guy have an opinion around here??!! What are you, a 10-year old.

If you hate your galaxy s so much, sell it off and buy the iPhone 4 then.
