It's quite a sad thing to know that when an iPhone4 user tries to "How Lian" the stuff against a Galaxy S.

First of all, one needs to understand that the Galaxy S (not even S2 - which is so much more powerful) in terms of hardware, is superior than the iPhone4.
Galaxy S, running on an ARM A8-Cortex 1Ghz CPU and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU [bundled as the Hummingbird SoC] vs. the iPhone4, which has the same CPU but an older GPU (PowerVR SGX535 - used in the 3GS) [bundled as the Apple A4 SoC].

Secondly, you gotta understand Samsung manufactured these chipsets, so their not gonna be fools to release an inferior model for their own products.

Retina display is fancy - In Plane Switching display with a high resolution display over a 3.5" screen that eventually ends up being more of a white elephant as higher res applications end up consuming more memory and processing; is it necessary for a device of this class?)

In terms of application dev and support - iOS has a bigger base and comes out with their apps ahead of their Android counterparts. This is caused by the open source of Android development ~ allowing other devs to come out with "similar" games with a slight twist in naming. Due to this, development is primarily focused over iOS than Android, since revenue security is assured.
Nevertheless, Android is catching up on this as most popular apps have been ported within a few months of release.

Personally, I would opt for Android since is a fast-maturing OS that offers flexibility; unlike iOS which is a GtG, out-of-the-box solution, which doesn't promise any big improvements in smart phone advancements as it has likely reached it's peak of development.

PS:- Many wonder why iPhone is more "smoother" than Android. Some may have realized the "Illusions" put up from Transition Effects (thus masking load and response times). No one really knows that, the actual load time taken may, infact, be longer than Galaxy S or similar phones.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I know most (not all) iPhone users are the most "kiasu" of the lot - buying iPhones based on Call Plan promos and crap. So calculative over everything yet that piece of "S-Class (you know what the S symbolizes, yes? ) of yours, that takes so much yet produces so little.
A smart person would rather pay top-dollar over a promising product than be someone that goes around saying "I have an iPhone" although completely dumbfounded with it's limitations.

Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked, 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.

You can say a hundred things but all of them have been comparing cars; since you don't have any facts to back you up, so use the "papa-mama" persuasion skills to convince people on your "S-Class".

Honestly, I think iPhone is a decent phone although excessively over-hyped by trendsetter wannabes.

Very intelligent comments over there; so i take it phones cannot use a candy-bar design since Motorola came out with it first?

Babe, forget this guy. If he wants to pull more people into his sinking ship, let him be. He's not worth replying at

Yea, HP, O2, Palm, etc... Well, im sure he's also thinking that Apple "invented" multi-touch and touchscreen lol

Respect

Expect the best and forget the rest
