13 February, 2011
The MWC kicked off a day early for Samsung. The company held a press event at Palau Sant Jordi hall in Barcelona, introducing the I9100 Galaxy S II smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet.Understandably, given the popularity of the Galaxy S lineup...

lol. So it'll be stuck on 2.3 (whatever comes with it) forever just like my Captivate. Nice try, Samsung. I ain't gonna spend my dollars on your toys anymore. Design-wise, it's the ugliest I've ever seen. It's like half iphone 4 and half cheap samsung look.

        Just check comparison done by GSM Arena between Samsung galaxy S and Iphone 4. It is clear that Iphone lost. Then what is there to boast about Iphone? Since I phone cannot offer latest deals, one has to keep on updating, which is not a good deal to have. Get latest software and forget about updating unless it is very necessary. Updation is not an answer to all. Using the mobile right away is anyone would want.

        Battery power Iphone does not last more than one day. My friends has to keep the phone plugged in most of the day to use it. Look at Wave the battery power lasts for a minimum of 4 days Galaxy S battery power lasts minimum 2 days.

        Please do not compare Iphone with Samsung. Samsung certainly wins!!!

            Don't contain yourself. It's not technology. It's what you do with it.

              Ra540i, 18 Feb 2011Ok, #1, jailbreak it if you're bored. #2, get some apps!! ... moreSo daring of you to say that iPhone are the one started the touch phone technology. Come back to reality, it wasn't iPhone. Touch technology was not recent and touch technology on mobile phone is definitely not that recent either.

              I remember a friend of mine, who had a mobile smart phone from Sony Ericsson, which was P900, which had resistive touchscreen. If you don't believe me, here's the spec from GSMArena itself: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_p900-544.php

              And please stop saying that other phone companies are copying iPhone. If by design, yes it looks like iPhone but then there's not much design workaround for a cuboid-candybar-shaped touch phone. See if Apple can innovate another dcomplete rehauled design for iPhone next generation. I bet the design will stay the same like the current generation of iPhone but with minor adjustments and changes.

              When you want to compare phones, check the specs and software. Apple iPhone has iOS, Samsung Galaxy S 2 and HTC Desire S2 has Android. They are not the same. Spec wise, Galaxy S 2 has AMOLED (SuperAMOLED plus to be precise) and iPhone 4 has SuperLCD. That is a very large difference.

Or is it possible that you dont want to buy anything or can't afford to? If you want to fully customize it then jailbreak it. Or.,,,. maybe you're just lying about owning one and just want to flame it?!? What could your old HTC do that an Iphone can't do? huh? Try and stump me. I could go on and on about what the iphone can do that the HTC can't do if you want. Here's something funny and factual, I can go into a gas station and find 5-10 accessories for my phone if I want. Can you do that with any other device??? God I hate haters, just stick to what you like and don't bash. I'm like nonstop defending this product. Here's the truth, #1 this Samsung phone directly rips off Iphone's springboard, #2 it seems that every manufacturer will be piggybacking Apples technology and software from here on out. (if you own a touchscreen phone at all you're riding Apple's d*#k already). #3, GO BACK TO YOUR HTC THEN!!!

                                  everyone of you can get updates on your samsung and htc and motorola android devices. Just that you guys are trolls not being able to root your devices and gaining full access to android os and getting updates until your phone is totally outdate in spec. Like my htc magic, I have been getting updates from the earliest version of android till gingerbread.

                                    Funny i am sick of the iphone and i have only had it 4 months. I just dont get all the fuss i must be missing something along the way. can someone tell me what is so magical about the iphone. ok yes it has great games and then what. Although the battery was truly bad on my Htc Desire i am really starting to miss it. As someone said the problem with the iphone is Steve Jobs and it true. The iphone is so limited

                                      Sammy has many hubs but none of them work properly. That's the different with Apple.. Apple put one thing in, it should work perfect (except iphone4 antenna :D).. Well. same with Sammy, Galaxy S, GPS doesn't work well either..
