Guest Chad Petree Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I really hope samsung trying to emulate the iphone was not the reason for the unnecesary long screen borders , i kinda see why they would want long borders on the lower part, two decrease the accidental presses on the touch buttons , but why on the upper part? oh samsung ! guess we can never be 100 % happy with a phone =/ Edited July 4, 2010 by Chad Petree
Guest mobiholic Posted July 4, 2010 Report Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) I actually quite like the Galaxy S layout but I really don't like the fact it looks like an iPhone. My sister said to me when she saw it, is that an iPhone and it immediately put me off the device. Something about lazy designers just angers me; sure if the design works then copy it, but you don't have to be so bloody obvious about it! Deviate a little - this thing is a 3GS in all but name. Still it is very comfortable to use and I find the home button + capacitive button layout very comfortable and easy to use compared to other android devices i have played with.

This thing looks quite a bit like a 3GS. Thats where the similarities end! The GS kicks the iPhone on RAM, Processing speed and screen resolution (and quality) and comes with a far more open operating system, is thinner and lighter and has better multitouch, more sensors, front camera (the list goes on). +almost all of those can be said when comparing to the iPhone 4 as well. Besides Apple didn't invent the minimalistic design and beyond that apple makes good phones with well-rounded features that are popular for a reason. Getting a device compared to an iPhone is usually meant as a compliment and if you can then say "No, this is BETTER than an iPhone", what more could you possibly ask for?

Sorry, I should've been clearer. I meant to say that to look at it is basically a 3GS. I know that in all other respects it is the superior device. :)
