Now if they just weren't so damn slow in updating this phone with ICS. Or at least releasing some drivers and such so devs could get it done.
I swore I would never own another Samsung after the vibrant due to how slow Samsung was on dropping source and such...I got sucked in one again and sit in the same position again as the vibrant lol.
Frustrating for such an amazing phone to once again be limited by Samsung.

Suprised the iphone didn't win.
Mwc must be android oriented...

lol why would the iphone win? For packaging a formerly platform-wide speech assistant into their new *cough* phone as a feature and removing it from the app store?
Several people I know have the iPhone 4S, I am not impressed. At all.

iPhone was behind long ago.. What needs to catch up is consumer awareness.

Europe doesn't have that many hardcore apple fan boys yet like we do here in the US. Plus I think the same iphone 4 design didn't help them too much but they still selling tons and tons of phones.

If I all my stuff was tied to the apple ecosystem it would be hard for me to change. plus the iphone 4s is not really outdated just boring UI and unable to open up a little bit more other than that their not missing anything but 1 or 2 things.

We can't just sell the phone off, because it's defective and that would be considering scamming. I would love to get a refund or exchange but we are unable to do so even within warranty, as this problem "does not exist."
I said in another topic that my complaints are directed the both Samsung for making this ****ty phone and ignoring the obvious problem, and to the phone companies for ignoring the problem not allowing refunds or exchanges.

Scamming? so are you saying Samsung is scamming us because that's how all our phone is like... Why don't you just turn your brightness up and stop complaining.
Btw I'm sure many will buy the phone off your hands

I liked the first one better lol. I like the advertisements they're shockingly accurate as to what apple launch day is.
Apple gave their competition a golden opportunity. If I had an iPhone 4 I would not walk out of a store using an upgrade on a phone that looks identical and basically is identical (OK don't flame but an upgraded camera and CPU/gpu isn't worth an upgrade)
Evo 4g to epic touch, now That is an upgrade ;-)

The first round of commercials were better, it actually showed some of features of the phone. Still I like the fact that they are firing back at apple...the right and respectable way...not with frivolous lawsuits but through competition.

My girlfriend just upgraded to the 4s from the 4 despite my best efforts. I had her convinced to at least try the at&t gs2 and see if she would like it. But then the salesman said, "I have the gs2 and if you already have an iPhone you'll want to stay with iPhone.."
And she did. Stupid salesman. I was di close to converting someone and I was helpless to intervene because I was at work. Blast.

One of the metrics we are scored on is return rate. I've yet to return an iPhone for anything but a more expensive iPhone. I have definitely returned android devices (including the epic touch) for iPhones. I will give someone a fair discussion on whether they are really getting the right phone without resorting to android snobbery, but I ultimately have to look out for me and not get things returned.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Unless I get an Apple diehard with nothing but Apple products I can usually flop them to Android. More specifically the Epic Touch. Larger screen, expandable memory and showing them mine running all the rooted goodies. Plus, a lot of people don't like that you have to use iTunes.

The rumors of the prime being crap are greatly exaggerated. I know 2 people that have one and have had no problems. It's a very vocal minority that have issues if you read the forums closely.

That defense worked for Microsoft when Apple tried to sue them over the icon interface. Microsoft claimed the icon interface came from Xerox. Apple eventually dropped the case.
Also, this is far from over. Samsung will definitely appeal. There are plenty of reasons for possibly winning under appeal.

The main reason for Apple go againist Samsung is Samsung is an important supplier for making apple products especially iphone. If you check history of Samsung phones model, they never have similar model until iphone 3g started to rise of global sales. Samsung then release products like instinct. I worked for a Canadian carrier and I remember Samsung was pushing hard with the Instinct model and had trainings and incentive for sales. Its normal to see competitors being copy cat because its all about money. But samsung was doing it too much. Remeber the smart cover incident? Galaxy tab 10.1 was launched with the same design of Apple smart cover and it was the relatives of the Boss of Samsung who made it. They had to pull away this product line right away. If Apple is a person and that is you. And your buddy Samsung is part of the supplier of your products which you spend a lot of times and energy to design. And one day he created similar product lines and make money from it and dont admit he is copying. So what would you do?
Just my thought, im not a fan of Apple or Samsung. Don't care. Whoever makes cool products and feed my lifestyle, I will buy and use it.

I've been a long time iPhone user, since the first one, and I just bought a Galaxy s3 and can honestly say I don't miss it at all. The new one is just more of the same....
This is probably going to get locked down real fast.....but its definitely a BIG dissappointment. Some of my friends are turning into hypocrites real fast saying they'll buy it. Especially when they told me"I don't need a bigger screen, 3.5 is more than enough" this was when I had the x10, captivate, nexus s etc. iPhone users need to wake up.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.

Going to email this to vzw

So yeah, who else has noticed this?
why does everyone care so much about the iphone?
its a great device. i personally will never use it, but quite a few people do love it.
America loves the iphone because it helps americas economy so they promote it alot they rather u buy that instead of a foreign phone

It's not the I care about it, it's they are shoving it down my throat when I log into my Verizon account online to manage my stuff, which doesn't have an iPhone associated with it.

You're going to email Verizon that they have marketing on their website? I bet they know.

You realize how much you just got played right? Not only did that little iphone button get you to stay on their website longer; it got you to take a screenshot of it and then go to a Nexus forum and post on there causing even more people to see their website. AND you are going to contact customer service at vzw in which case they will then try to sell you something after reading your pointless email.
Seems like VERY effective marketing strategy to me.

Hmm, someone started a $hit storm in here! :laugh:
F this. I am shutting down the internet. Someone advertised in yo space. Whoa whoa wait. It's actually their space. Things that make you go hmmmmm... when you realize why all these companies are forcing us into the "cloud".
BTW, Google why can't I have my own cloud INSIDE my own personal digital tracking device that I turn on for countless hours and lease my 4.65" of space to you on occasion anyway?
...
Calm down guys. Xda also has iPhone forums. Its just a phone. If you don't like iphones than don't buy one. And if you want to discuss iphones than post in that section LOL

I have both Android and i devices. Personally I find the whole idea of arguing over a phone pretty retarded... like eating paint chips retarded. I heard an Apple engineer designed a thermostat called the nest, let's argue which thermostat is better, or should it have a larger screen? How about refrigerators? Let's argue about which one makes the best ice.
