Samsung > Apple

Eh I'm not so sure about that anymore. My Nexus S recently got "burn-in" on the screen (I think I got it from playing Eternity of Symphony with auto brightness settings on while playing on the bus on a sunny day. You can see a burn-in imprint of my thumb. lol. Though you really only notice it on a grey background. But it's still annoying. I really don't feel like sending it in to Samsung to replace the screen because I'll be without the phone for awhile, it doesn't affect performance and I only really notice it when I pull down the notification bar and look at the list of my notifications (you can see it in the grey background).

It's such a shame because I like the Nexus S (get fast Android updates directly from Google. And since it's a stock Android phone there is no manufacturer brand bloatware slowing it down). And the AMOLED screen is beautiful. But those damn AMOLED screens are prone to burn-in. I might exchange the phone right before my Samsung warranty is up. But yeah I really don't feel like having to be without my phone for awhile. Just because you have a warranty in place, doesn't give you an excuse to make shoddy hardware (ie. the Xbox 360 situation for years). Apparently Samsung's other AMOLED phones have the same problem. And the Nexus One (also a "pure Google" phone, but made by HTC) also has this problem apparently with the AMOLED screen.

If they continue to use AMOLED screens with the Nexus line, I'll probably get some other Android that comes with Stock Android when I'm in the market for a new phone or maybe just get whatever quality HTC they have at the time. The G2 on T-Mobile had Stock Android I believe so hopefully HTC continues that G line with stock Android. Not exactly the biggest fan of HTC Sense. But I'd rather not deal with another AMOLED screen again.

Analysts arent saying to much good about this. Apparantly it still loses calls. Also this looks like every other Iphone.
They need a completely new UI.

Let’s start with the name, shall we? While not official, but then again, neither are iPhone 4S” or “iPhone 5”, the “iPhone 4GS” is a smartphone name that makes plenty of sense. In case certain rumors are real, then the iPhone 4GS could be for the iPhone 4 while the iphone 3gs is for the iphone 3g, a minor refresh.Read: iPhone 4GS (iPhone 4S/5) Gets First Leaked Images Ahead of Release Date; The Real Thing?

iPhone 5 Release Date

looks like mine too ;/

Never had a contract phone before, i was going to wait till this next iphone was annoucned and get the iphone 4 on contract, either that or the experia play, any other suggestions?

Man I don't understand the need for a cheaper model of I-Phone 4. Apple is making a killing off of four and the technology must be a bit cheaper now. I know that I was advised at Rogers recently to hold off on purchasing an I-Phone 4 until 5 came out. He said when 4 came out the last model dropped in price by around a hundred dollars.

So Apple why not keep the I-Phone 4 on the market at 100$ cheaper then I-Phone 5. I guess they want more profits and if they can create a cheaper 4 then they could boost profitability.

I've since decided I will be getting a 5 when it comes out. It will be my first smart phone and I need it for business. I don't know what people in Aussie and stuff are saying the basic I-Phone plan my buddy has with 100 local minutes, unlimited txting and a basic data plan. It costs him 90$ a month. The plan I am considering costs 140$ a month, but I need the plan and phone.

I was recently at PAX and several developers told me if I'm going to run a game site. I need to have an I-Phone up to date. I also need a good data plan for demo's and video footage. It was a big peice of advice several studios told me, I need an I-Phone.

Also my cheap ass phone from Rogers, it costs over 60$ a month for 100 local minutes, 1000 txt's , voice mail , caller ID. Thats just the bare basic's.

I would get a kick ass home deal, but I need an I-Phone for game demo's and stuff. I also need to be in touch with developers at any time they call. I've found I need a cell phone so now starting a site I need to be connected now more then ever!
