Samsung Vs HTC owners

I was wondering why do all the evo owners that's bashing the nexus s as a inferior phone are the same ones making threads about being on their 4th evo replacement? I'm a evo owner by the way and I'm on my launch one, no problem.

A lot of people apparently hate samsung for phone quality and lack of updates. I have an Evo, and I've had a samsung phone before [not a smart phone], but it never did me wrong. And I have my 32" Samsung LED tv...beautiful. I have nothing against them, personally.

People can't live without conflict and trying to aggravate each other.

I owned a Samsung Epic and an Evo. I'm posting this from my Evo because the Samsung just wouldn't work after the froyo update. Samsung's support is worthless imo. My wife and sister in law both have Samsung Intercept's and their about to get different models of phones because those phones are worthless and the Sprint rep I've been talking to knows it so...
As for the new phone, maybe they fixed the many issues plaguing their other phones but my old Epic's (yes, I tried 4 different ones...) Gps could only get a lock down to 6 meters vs the Evo's 1 meter, and the bluetooth stack on froyo just sucked. Sounds would stop playing, I missed lots of calls... Until they prove themselves again that they can make a product and support it, they won't see a dime of my money.

Some such as myself want to always move onto bigger and better things and Samsung have the potential to be that and do that as that's what they're always selling (See Epic 4g) and they always come up short. The Instinct was dubbed the original iphone killer [email protected], Samsung Epic was supposed to be better than the Evo and it's still crippled with GPS issues and now this phone even with it's supposed better screen still has issues with the color white (with the blue tint) and this day and age releasing a phone with not even a micro SD slot for expandable memory. Samsung is a company that pushes you to almost want to love them, then gives you reasons to LOATHE them. And I mean really loathe them.

ROFL thanks for making my drink the new accessory to my laptop keyboard!

Going from an evo to a nexus s is like going from a BMW to Mercedes; your BMW(evo) is the complete package and still up to date yet you want the Mercedes (nexus) because your BMW has a little extra mileage on it. The nexus s isn't worth leaving the evo why waste your upgrade on a phone that's barely superior. I'm not bashing it I'm just saying who cares about the "pure google experience" that single core processor will be out of date by the end of 2011. I'm not saying the evo 3D will be the best but I wont waste my upgrade on that plastic single core Samsung phone lol.

Threads like these are retarded, like that team crap over twilight, which side are you on? We already have several HTC vs Samsung threads a few pages down.

In my opinion the phone is hideous, was thinking to upgrade but no way in hell am i doing that....
i got a feeling Samsung designed this too look like sh*t, to sell the galaxys2 and save customers for their new stock coming soon. This looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff. But the sad fact is they look a lot better...
what do you guys think.
EDIT...
NEW pictures released look a lot better still not feeling the soft key icons as much though....

looks like a galaxy s2, what did everyone expect?
the nexus s should have been a pretty obvious clue

It looks like a phone

The rear shot is actually the Nexus S. The front shot is Verizon's Prime. In conclusion, you are jumping to conclusions too quickly.

ICS in general is ugly..

Hideous is right. Both the phone and the software.

The prime was too deep into development when google bought Motorola for them to just abandon the project. If there is going to be another nexus after the prime then chances are it will be done by Motorola.

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.

Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------

i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown

IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?

I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.

you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball

Engadget says its on the samsung website if you simply search for it. No specs yet. Just 2 and a half more hours till the specs are released >

The phone and the software are beautiful. What ever the op is smoking i Dont want any of it. I would snag that phone in a minute If it wasnt a verizon exculsive. I hate verizon with a Passion.

Thoughts on the galaxy note.

I thought I was pretty set on getting the galaxy nexus when its released, now I'm also thinking about the galaxy note. Just wondering what others in the community are thinking.

That's my question too. I would really love the stylus for work. I think I would use it all the time, but I am stuck with Sprint for at least the next two years.

I think galaxy note is targeted for specific people.
Personally, I will not buy it, because:
1. it's not nexus (fear of being left behind in terms of updates+features)
2. Too big for my pocket
But I see that it has usefulness that I heard web browsing is so much better due to bigger screen. The bigger screen allows reading, watching and typing better.
About stylus, I think its a gimmick. Unless you have something like iPad size (which still limited that you have to write like you are using a crayon), writing in touch screen is cumbersome.

It's freaking huge. Have you ever held an iphone? Yeah, I'm comparing apples to oranges, but the phone is huge.

The Dell Streak, compared to this, is longer and thicker, but the Note is wider. There are some videos up on YouTube with people putting the Note in their pocket and making calls and it's really not that big. Heck most cordless landline phones are bulkier than the Note.
Also if it gets ICS with the new version of TW that is less inttusive , that would be awesome.

I put a comparison pic of the note and the gnexus and an article up in the rumor thread. Ill find it.

I'll take a Note in white please...kthxbai

I want one so bad but I don't think its coming to the US. if it does it doesn't have a cdma radio so it will go to at&t or t mobile.

Finally motherf***er!

You wants the note
I can tell

i like the Note
its dope its lil big for me i suppose for a phone
i mean the s2 is a 4.5 inch screen
thats even big enough and well
since its fast and responsive i wont use the pen much

It's a Kenny Powers reference: NSFW
But yeah, I really want the Note.

AT&T has had the note for over a month. Used it for 2 weeks...it was OK. Barely fits in the back pocket and made my Epic feel like a toy. AT&T Hspa 4G is the biggest crap going but once LTE is spread out more it may be useable. The CDMA version will be called The Journal and rumored to go to Verizon and maybe Sprint.

New Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Picture

Okay folks. What do you all think? Is this the Samsung Galaxy S III? The image was leaked on a number of Korean blogs. I also would note that Eldar Murtazin, who claims to have seen the device said this about this recent leak: "no comments ". On previous leaks he said things like "looks close, but that's not it" and "no, that's not it." Why would he say "no comment" to this one? And that smiley face. Hmm. Very interesting

Wrong. That's exactly what we're doing here. Just judging a picture. I'm commenting solely on this picture, which is the entire point of the thread.
When the real thing comes out we will see.
Thanks for your input.

I honestly think that the screen is a bit too big compared to the device size. This is my personal opinion about the screen so please don't hate me. But overall the device sounds very nice and I'm sure it will be another big hit when it comes out.

Tierd of rumours I want this phone now!
It looks awesome from what u can see on this pic tho

Samsung confirmed to be 4.6 inch screen read more here:http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-to-have-a-4-6-super-amoled-plus-hd-display/
Everithing else is great. Im waiting to see it maybe i buy it.

I wanna see the specs if it can be that thin and sleek, i'm curious about the inside.

What about this?
Kolay 10 Pack Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy S3 S III i9500

I don't think it would be same as on the pic. Almost after two months we will see what is going to hit us
I hope this time the specs would not go with the rest of the manifactures....

Fake
Nope, don't think it's real, i expect it just to have ICS and a soft buttons, little thinner, better screen

CAN NOT WAIT!!! I love my nexus s but this machine is going to be amazing. Biggest thing for me on this device will be the non-pentile 720p screen! Can't wait for the CM crew to crack it after it is released and get flashing!!!

S4 just looks cheap compared to the one.

For a while I wasn't sure what phone to get and I feel like the s4 looks awful so I'm for sure going with this sexy beast of awesome hardware and software.

I don't think anyone in their right mind, even the hardcore Samsung fans, would disagree with that assessment. They may not admit it though, but deep down, we all know which phone we feel is most pleasing to look at.

Not to mention the cartoonish and childish look of TW compared to the elegant, premium and matured-looking Sense UI.. S4 do really look cheap not only on the outside, but also inside..

Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.

What strange remarks!
The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.
TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.
I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.
One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!
