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.

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 plus the iphone 4s is not really outdated just boring UI and unable to open up a little bit more other than that their not missing anything but 1 or 2 things.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

You're misunderstanding how lawsuits work. This is 100% part of the same lawsuit. They are asking the judge to issue injunctions in her final rulings to ban devices found by the jury to infringe on their (apples) patents... Nor is that law suit at all over. The final hearing is Sept. 20th I believe, and then the inevitable year plus of appeals that will follow it. I pointed you towards that thread as it's unnecessary to start a new thread for every particular filing in the case. If we did so 70% of this board would be about that lawsuit in that matter of a month or two.

Yep, I'm sure I could find some of these apps to pirate, but they are more than reasonably priced, and I am very hopeful that money truly does go where it belongs (to the bright minds that make them). Especially after taking an intro college course to programming and finding out that I have no idea how complex these programs really get. The best backup app is less than $10, certainly don't get that on windows.

There is a difference between silently downloading a paid app for free and bragging about it to the world like you are some badass that knows how to use Google or torrents or whatever.
For the record, I have downloaded pirated apps but have replaced all of them with the paid parts from the store.

I usually only download a pirated app to try it out if there is no free version. But sometimes I can't find the latest version and give up. If the apps worth the money/ I wanna support the dev I have no problem paying.
I do enjoy my hassle free updates that's for sure

Whoa. No one said I was bragging about that lol. I was simply stating that a large percentage of people have taken part in it and I find it hard to believe when someone says that they have NEVER done so. Taking people's hard work and not paying a dime for it is a shame and if I was a developer I'd be very angered with piracy. Look at the Dead Trigger devs. Those guys are pissed beyond belief and I don't blame them. I pay for my apps now, but back when I was naive and ignorant I took my part in piracy too. Don't twist my words around dude lol I do not condone piracy especially since apps are dirt cheap.
Except that launcher that cost about $20. That's just insane lol

I agree with you that is wrong but because everyone does it doesn't mean u can say everyone else does it to.

And plus I was one of those guys that payed for dead trigger and it ended up being free and I was pissed.

I just bought the s4 and now your dishing out a new version making owners of this phone feel disappointed. I'm sick of this bs. I want to make sure I have the top Samsung gadget and for you guys to release a new one 2 weeks after I bought mine is complete bs. I'm no longer going with samstung

New technology going to come out every month, samsung will continue rolling out 4 different version of the same thing, either get with the program or well...dont. There's the htc, there's the xperia, and some other i can't think of that i actually care for.
