Samsung I9000 Galaxy S vs. Apple iPhone 4: Collision course - read the full textIt’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...

Apple got to think about lower the prices. U can get better stuff for less money, only some stupid fanboy would by it...

I believe this review pushed me to buy the SGS and I regret it honestly!

After reading pretty much every thing going about Galaxy S and i-Phone I went for the Galaxy.I just felt Apple were charging for the name rather than any clear advantage,just like German car makers.I really don't think that in the real day to day usage these phones get, it's worth paying the not inconsiderable extra costs (i-tunes) just to say you have an i-Phone.But hey-ho The Emperors New Clothes has always been a fact of life when it comes to the buying public.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2010-12-06 03:59 from pcA0 - click to readDid it ever come to your mind that the Processor in both is ARM? In fact they are almost identical with the iPhone being a SOC. Which means the processor+RAM+Video processor are on the same chip vs. separated chips in the Samsung. This means Apple saves board space and can therefor make the phone smaller while keeping the same specs.

How can you rate the iPhone's mp3 player less then the Samsung's mp3 player because of iTunes? iTunes is a very good mp3 organizer specially on the mac. All that Samsung has is Kies. The worst software ever written to sync a phone. Yes you can drag and drop music on the Samsung but you still want some software on the PC/Mac to organize and tag you mp3's. The fact here is Samsung has none and iPhone has the decent iTunes. And if you drag and drop you have to remember what is already on the phone or always drag everything.

For me the iPhone should win mp3 by a mile. The best quality output and a music organizer compatible with it. The Samsung has a decent mp3 player but still is miles away from the beautiful high quality iPod build in to the iPhone. I know what I'm talking about. I traded my Galaxy S for an iPhone 4 because I was hugely dissatisfied by the mp3 player in the Galaxy.

Oh and to speak about build quality: the screen of my Galaxy had to be replaced after only one drop. The glass was shattered in pieces! My iPhone hasn't been dropped yet by me luckily but I believe the glass will also break. So for both I think it's better to not drop them.

All in all I think this comparison is way to much orientated to let the Galaxy win. But then you take the conclusion that the iPhone is the best? This is very confusing. For me the reviewer of this story has a Galaxy. Because of that he want's the Samsung to win to justify his choice. The fact is however that both are very good phones and it's better to read the individual reviews on this website. They will give you a better and less colored idea of the goods and less goods about this phones!

Nice review GSMA, but if one looks closer, it seems like a comparison of SGS with iPhone standard, where iP is made to look bad but in the end it scores better... Yes, it's hard for me also to understand.

I won't buy Samsung products anymore in the future. I was so disappointed with my first Samsung - the i900-Omnia. Extremely bad Wifi reception, extremely inefficient as modem, very bad touch response, average organizer, camera, video recording, etc.. oh well, this site had fooled me into trying that very bad product! Marketing at its 'best'!
