Ha, oh wow, I thought this site was credible until reading this.

I recently came to upgrade. I chose the Galaxy S....The phone is a pile of cr@p. It's laggy, the GPS is fundamentally broken, and the build quality is horrible. I immediately sent it back and took a punt on the iPhone.

The iPhone is far superior in almost every way. How could you mark the Galaxy's screen higher??? The iPhone is much, much sharper and the colours are far better, anybody can see that, and most actually comment on the quality when playing with the iPhone.

The antenna issues are blown out of all proportions, mine holds a better signal than any other phone I've owned, and I've had a fair few! The call quality is second to none, as is the speaker. The battery life is also better, as is the camera.

And don't even compare GUIs, TouchWiz is an abomination and should be scrapped.

The Galaxy S wins on video playback and that's it. The iPhone does everything else better, that's a fact.

Haters gonna hate.

    defenitely going for the galaxy, it owns the iPhone almost completely. my dad has te iphone 4 and he keeps calling the galaxy a ripoff, he is kind of right. But I don't care my mobile phone will own his. I mean the iphone doen't have expendable memory,and I have lots of music with the 4'' display I might wanna watch a movie too sometimes so I need lots of memory. So but I think that's just my opinion but I defenitaly like the iPhone too. too bad it's so expensive.

      Point to note, the curve back of sgs is like a replica of 3g/3gs back. Side scrolling through the front page in sgs is an exact copy of IOS except prolly the live widgets. If Iphone is really crappy why would Samsung adopt?

      Afterall each and every person have different preference and needs in their usage of a phone, thus IMO try out the phones yourself. You are the best judge of your own preference.

      Finally I seriously think that most people here does not own both phone but give their comments based on the phone they are using and commenting "MY" phone wins over "that the other dumbphone" anytime, anywhere, anyhow. Haha

              I find it funny how just mentioning anything Apple can cause such a rise in people...They're both really good phones, stop acting like a bunch of babies and try focusing your passions towards something productive. If you spent as much time and passion doing something useful as you do writing bash comments, the world would be a much less cynical place. If it sounds like I'm being condescending right now it's true. You deserve it (same goes for android/WP7 haters as well). If you are over 18 and are in fact a basher, I'd feel pretty embarrassed right about now if I were you...

                [deleted post]The design for the Iphone 4 was actually better than the Galaxy S, simply because the Iphone felt more sturdy.

                Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy was better overall then the Iphone 4, although still a superb phone

                I know the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S, known as the Samsung Vibrant, and it's the best phone I ever bought. Simply amazing

                      Hello world ... in the last 3 weeks I had Iphone 4 (sold) then nokia n9000 (sold) until I discover Mister Samsung and WOW !! believe me like somebody else said it ...this is like comparing a machine gun with a water pistol, indeed.
                      There is no point of comparison between those 2, no way
                      SAMSUNG GALAXY S really rocks !!!

                          Apple is a brand, and like any other popular brand it makes millions on it's followers and fans - not necessarily because it's better, but because of it's connotations. Apple started making unique, stylish products that function well and look great, but that doesn't mean that they're the best products out there.

                              they have not mentioned the swype technology in galaxy that no other phone have that technology galaxy undoubtedly outperforms iphone. and for one more reason galaxy is much cheaper then iphone4 and having more performance so these two reasons makes samsung galaxy to have an upper hand on iphone4..
