I have an iPhone 4 the problem is every time I'm using it the signal goes down to one or two bars plus whenever I'm talking on the phone I hear a little bit of static noise in the background. I like the iPhone 4 but those are the only two issues I'm having right now. I'm thinking of switching to the Galaxy S, It has good reviews. I was also wondering if I get another iPhone 4 is it going to fix the reception problem?
I had a play with a Galaxy S yesterday, and it had a lovely screen, but boy did it feel cheap and plasticky.
It had not weight to it, and felt as though it would suffer with scratches very easily.
As someone said, do you want a BMW or a Ford?
I'm waiting for the Galaxy S to ship with Android 2.2. This is after returning my Iphone 4 due to the proximity sensor issue.
Many of the people on here (including myself) have been sucked into the Apple brand for too long. Whilst there is a good reason for this - they make great products, the same cannot be said for the iPhone 4.
In comparison, you get what you pay for. I can get a Galaxy S for about £330 in the Uk, that's £170 cheaper than the iPhone 4, 16gb model. The main differences are lack of camera flash on the Galaxy S the reduced number of apps available and the less frequent and difficult to install software updates. I can actually live with these because I want a phone that works. I have a decent camera for my everyday use so it doesnt bother me.
The screen on the Galaxy S also looks amazing in terms of size, even though the iPhone 4 has a nicer colour about it. Yes - the galaxy is a bit plasticy but you know what, i can live with that. It's lighter too, and I wont worry about every little insy winsy scratch and worry when I give it to my mate to play with. Looking after an iphone 4 is like looking after a little kid, too much responsibility.
So in summary - In the uk it looks like the Galaxy S is the best alternative to the iPhone4. Iphone 4 is a better phone when it works (which is doesnt). If i was lived in the US however; the HTC evo4 is the way to go.
Also, I'd take a Ford Fiesta, Fusion or Volt over a BMW. I don't like looking like a rich snob or pretentious ***** out in public.
It looks like the Galaxy is more of a Ford Mustang than a Fiesta hence it would desimate most BMW's apart from the M3/5's - which are a bit brash anyway.
