Car, unlike phone, buyers look at resale value as its not a cheap investment. I wont be surprise that when apple fans run out of factors to make their phone look superior to others, they would resort to, "how power efficient their phone is, how green their phone is, how ideal their smartphone is not too light nor heavy, how many parts it uses, how many screw there are in their phones, and last but not least, how many people are killed when producing their phone." LOL..

                but who cares about resale value anyway as galaxy S is obviously better than iphone4(toy phone for kids)... number of games and flash are the only 2 things better in iphone4.. the rest is in galaxy S' favor.

                gsm comparison is OBVIOUSLY UNBIASED.. btw your lexus(iphone4) is bought and made up from kia(samsung) parts.

                OWNED!! haha

Kia technology is far inferior to lexus and thus explain the low resale value. How could you compare Samsung with Apple. Samsung technology is far superior to apple.

                        He knew he was lying when he told this hyperbolic statement. Apple corrupted yet another genius of developpement with it's dishonest hype politic.
                        That demo was nothing, just a simple rendering of the environnement, the lights weren't even dynamic they were static. And the only things moving were two bouncing models jumping in loop on the same script. Ho yea, sure that's 60fps there.
                        Don't expect more than 30/35 at release of any rage game, that or the graphic level will be highly static or lowered.

                                      This is the most biased review I have ever read by Android fanboys. I prefer unbiased reviews. Galaxy S is maybe better in some cases, but come on, display is not as good. You guys should be ashamed of yourself for having such clouded judgement.

                                        I have used both but decided to keep my SGS, both are great phone but the GSG is I think better.

                                        1:The iPhone 4 has better screen resolution and does not very nice
                                        2:Reception I find is a bit patchy
                                        3:Hands down astatically the iPhone 4 looks better but also feels a lot heavier, which can be good or bad I don’t like it too much myself.
                                        4:Size wise the iPhone is every so slightly smaller but is limited with a 3.5” screen.
                                        5:Sound quality is good for music but not great
                                        6: Viewing angles are immense but not practical.

                                        Over all the iPhone 4 is good, the best parts seem over the top, the high rez screen and viewing angles are over the top. More so the screen rez it more pixels which wastes more battery power and high demand on the phones sub systems. If they lowered it slightly then then they could have been able to get better battery life out of the phone.
                                        Apps plenty of them and good but they cost you.


                                        Now the Galaxy S


                                        1: Far superior battery life 2-2.5 days against the iphone 4’s 1-1.5 days
                                        2: Very good reception
                                        3: Very good screen bright enough to look with the sun even baring down on it directly
                                        4: Vibrant colours white white, and black blacks looks awesome.
                                        Movies look truly amazing on this hand set and with a full range of codecs, XVID, DVIX, MK2 and even FLV!!
                                        5: Ok sound quality with music too but sounds much better with the 5.1 DD enabled and would say comes out of the iPhone 4 with it enabled.
                                        6: The best bar none hardware wrapped in cheap plastic, shame really fast processor overclockable to 1.2GHz if you need more power, faster GPU then the iPhone 4 but is let down with the Driod market and until more phones support move to external storage. Games on the Andriod OS are never going to look as good as the iPhone 4 due to limited space.
                                        7: Customisable, a very customisable phone, live wallpapers home screens, but it does not stop there it is hardware customisable too, with options for extended batteries which does increase the thickness but is much better then a dongle sticking out of the bottom.

                                        8: You can replace you batter when the polarisations drop without being charged an obscene amount of money to replace it.

                                        So in summary both are good phones but the patchy reception on the iphone 4 without the band at least and also the Proximity sensor not working on the iphone 4 correctly is somewhat a concern.

                                        To say that the iPhone 4 is better due to more/better applications is BS the first and most important thing of a phone is just that… MAKING/RECIVEING CALLS!!
