Forums - General - Samsung attacks iPhone 5! UPDATE: Nokia joins in on the action! UPDATE 2: Samsung release f?&£ed up ad...

Funny... yesterday I met a friend to drink beer and he was using a Galaxy S3. I asked him if he had changed the phone but what happened was his company give it a phone just for work calls.

So he have an iPhone 4 for personal use and a Galaxy S3 for work use.

What he said to me? "Why my company gave me this shit... nothing works... anything is complicated to do... I hate this phone... why my company does not give an iPhone or a Nokia that works."

My ex-girlfriend have a Android too... when she changed to iPhone was one of the times I saw her happiest in life with something electronic, she marveled at every new thing she did with it... so epic.

Sorry guys for end-user: iOS > WP >> Android.

For greek:  Android >>>> All.

It's like Windows vs Linux.

I've used both now, and I can confirm that the iPhone 5 is 10x better than the galaxy s3. It's an insult to the iPhone 5 to be even mentioned in the same sentence as the galaxy S3...

Lol...


Something funny?

Pezus...you haven't even used EITHER of these phones, so your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.

Thankfully I can pretty safely say almost all of us on this website would be classified as "geeks". It's not like Windows vs. linux, because Windows is heavily customizable as well. iOS is not. It's closed, it forces the shitty itunes on you, it forces proprietary cables and adaptors on you.

The guys are "geek"... that a specialized site about gamers... it's not for common people.

The iOS is customizable too, you can change a lot of things...and I prefer closed OS then open.

Windows > OSX >>>>>>> Linux

Nokia forces proprietary cables and adaptors for you too and you have to use the Nokia Studio too... every mobile phone do that... that's not have nothing to do about the OS... that's a hardware problem.

When I see someone put OSX above Linux I know something is wrong

Why didn't you counter the itunes argument? Seriously, that crap needs to be wiped off the face of the earth it's so annoying.


Wtf is wrong with iTunes? It's just a built-in music service...

how the hell is it annoying?



The new Samsung TV commercial is more annoying than the "I'm a Mac" commercials.

If this is what Samsung thinks will sell phones by stealing marketshare from Apple, they should think again.

I have to say I WAS on the fence about buying an S3 because I prefer the display, both resolution and OLED image and because I am interested in Android as a software development platform and I already have an iOS 6 device in the iPad 3, but these ads Samsung's marketing geeks have come up with are just plain annoying by trying to take a shot at the number one selling model on the market rather than simply extolling the virtues and strengths of their own top of the line model.

It's pretty sad when MARKETING makes a consumer not want to buy a company's product.

My guess is that it's annoying in the way that Internet Explorer is annoying on Windows by being tethered to the OS. 

Personally, I've been using iTunes since its initial inception and I've yet to use another music service/player/organizer that I prefer more, even after experimenting with a lot of programs in the mid 2000s that had features not in iTunes, only to show up in later iterations (primarily video related).

I'm pretty sure there are still plenty of alternative music organizer/players on iOS, but there really aren't many convincing reasons for anyone to use them other than that "they're not by Apple" which borders on stupid.

I feel the same. Next time I buy a TV it'll be a Sony TV, and I've had Samsung TV's for as long as I can remember.

I think the OSX's UI better then both Linux and Windows but I prefer Windows because my work (the dev tools I need to use just exists in Windows). The OSX is my first option for multimedia.

The iTunes argument is personal preference... I like iTunes and I used it even when I didn't have a iPhone.

The iTunes is cool and easy to use... I like how it works with playlists and mp3tags... I use it on Windows... it is my main multimedia organizer and player.

I just don't want to go off the subject... Linux x OSX x Windows or iTunes x Others... I want to staty in iPhone x Android.
