While it does look like an iPhone no Samsung device has ever felt or looked as good as an iPhone, not to even compare to the quality build of a Nokia flagship.

Symbian was past, android is just present and windows phone will be the future,
coz windows phone use same kernel as windows 8 hence difference between a phone and mobile will be reduced,
although good things take time to happen

Well, i am eagerly waiting for an update for my samsung galaxy s advance. 4.0.4. Is better, i had experienced it from my neo v, and i found 2.3. Is inferior to it. Well, not all humans think the same way how you think.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2012-09-02 18:31 from MDVw - click to readYour claim that 4.0 is faster than 2.3. I agree with you, but at what cost? Being a Sony Xperia U owner, I am appalled by 4.0's UI, and so do many of my friends who are power users.

Android 2.3 may have been slower, but the interface was certainly more impressive. I hope 4.0 doesn't remind you all of Symbian, because I've used a Symbian and I know very well that's the Symbian UI style. Android 4.0 went in the wrong direction for advanced users like us who liked the initial power of Android 2.1/2.2/2.3.

I saw for myself the inadequacies of Android 4.0's UI (which, by the way, still isn't lag-free on my dual-core Xperia U although it is not heavily used) and it is one of the reasons why I'll be sure to think more carefully before buying another Android again.
In fact the Xperia U became so weak for a new 2012 phone because of Android 4.0 that I had to keep using my December 2010, 1st generation Windows Phone because even something this old was more efficient. (I'd do anything to get 2.3 on my Xperia, really. I'm not the only one who can't stand 4.0.)

I was going to get an Android tablet, but it seems that the rumored 199USD price tag for Mircosoft Surface has won me over, especially after I saw how unsuitable 4.0 was for me.

I do wish Android the best though, because it WAS the phone of choice for power users due to customizability. (I used to like and want one, back in the Android 2.3 days.) I hope that Jelly Bean gets better, because I'm just comparing my Omnia 7 with iPhone 4S and Xperia U, and the Android is the one that obviously fell behind.

> In reply to djmsync @ 2012-09-04 10:12 from T3ha - click to readHi, interesting view. I'd like to tell you about the differences between WP7.8 and WP8 if you didn't already know.
WP7.8 has all the features of WP8 that current WP phones are able to support, and WP7 series support will continue.
WP7.8 is missing a number of features that WP8 has for only ONE REASON: current phones don't have the hardware needed for the update. For example, there's no need to add support for HD resolutions in WP7.8 because All existing phones are 480x800, and there's no difference in adding such a feature.
More significantly, for example, there's no NFC support in WP7.8--because ALL current phones have no transmitter required for NFC! It is a waste of space to give current users features they can't use, and being kind, Windows decided to release two updates instead of one, separating the same update into 7.8 and 8.
Therefore, kindly wait for the great WP7.8 to come out and enjoy your further enhanced WP experience. I hope you'll take your Android-using friends' comments about their smartphone having 'more features' and being 'faster' with a pinch of salt.
It's always good to find out for yourself what your OS maker is really up to instead of listening to rumours that are half-true!

(Offline maps fully available on Nokia's version)

Also, WP8 coming next season, with Augmented Reality, Wireless Charging, higher battery and CPU efficiency, PureMotion HD, list goes on. I expect Apple and Google to be copying these inventions very shortly, so brace yourselves for stuff like 'ZOMG my iPhone has wireless charging it is so innovative' posts all over the internet soon.

I suggest people start making comments that reflect their level of intelligence, because we'd love to hear your substantiated views instead of your flaming or trolling. Right now, if aliens could see the internet, they'll be convinced that there is no intelligent life on Earth.

A lot of people are commenting on the "metal" back cover of this phone.

Wake up!!! It is plastic cover that looks as metal. I personally prefer plastic as it is elastic.
