Yeah, but you can't really show-off with it. Do you wanna attract girls or not??
And what if they want to iMessage or Facetime with you, you can't...

Serious question.. How old are you ? 13 ?
Seriously if you think a phone is going to attract a girl you are in for a rather bumpy awakening.
OK, let's talk about facts then... Apple iPhone users tend to be smarter and richer than Android users counterpart. Evidenced by this study...
Study: iPhones reach more news audience than Android phones by every measure
What if they want to BBM you? Better buy every smartphone just in case, maybe you can impress her by claiming you have all those phones for your drug dealing business

BBM definitely sets Blackberry phones apart. But Android got nothing.. Android phones should be marketed for anti-social crowd really... No wonder HTC First won't sell very well.... An android phone targeting the social people, ain't gonna work!
Ok so thats a yes then I take it. The fact you still think a girl woud be attracted to a man by what phone he uses is really abhorrent. That you would think people are so utterly vacuous and shallow. Well if they are the type you attract, good luck with that.

How typically moribund statement...
Its clear with your attitude and these posts you have absolutely no idea what irony is, let alone common sense and reasoned opinion.
You have to be a troll. No normal person in their right mind would make all the post you have.
Yeah, because Apple spends so much on R&D.
Samsung spends something like 6 or 7 times as much on R&D. They also spend a ton on marketing.
Why, because their service is down?

Good god.
I have a study showing most iPhone users are 13 year old girls. Your statement kinda supports my findings.
I, like most people (or at least the majority of iPhone owners according to Apple), buy an external case for my phone and rarely see the original materials.
So I'd be happy with a phone that's easy to hold, and is resistant to damage without needing to buy an optional case.
Heck, make it thin and waterproof and I don't care what material they use.

I have a lot more high school and middle school students that use iPhone over an Android based device. I'd hardly consider that richer.

Yea that's how a company's success is judged...comments on random YouTube videos...
You're funny!

No thank you. Unless it is super strong I want none of it. The crap aluminum Apple put on the iPhone 5 has left a bad taste in my mouth. I am not even using my iPhone 5 right now as a phone just an iPod. Never dropped it or anything. Just looked at it about 5 minutes ago and it has a chip on the corner. Unless they can make better aluminum than that I want none of it.
Ugh, that amorphous term, "Build quality" again. I absolutely loved my first week with my HTC One X, seemed well put together, decent battery, great at phone calls. Where it went south was with software quality. HTC in my purely subjective opinion, just doesnt do as well on their os and skin, as Samsung does. iOS is even better, but the iphone is stuck in a huge hardware rut.
There was plastic and metal
as long as there's a touch of aluminium or chrome it keeps people happy 
Never been a consideration of mine when buying a phone, I look to see if it has the features I want
I always have a case on them, so the material is irrelevant

But...but... The S II had a chrome edge yet people claim its build quality is shoddy.
Anyway, I do agree that materials do not equate in build quality. I agree Samsung has chosen a questionable array of materials for their phones but they are put well together. My "plastic" S III doesn't feel like it's going to shatter and from what I've heard, the phone's structure is essentially a magnesium-based alloy.
I could name a few things that are aluminium yet they feel like it's going to fall apart.
The S4 to me despite being similar to the S3 - feels a lot better in the hand than the S3, and it whilst it doesn't feel cheap - I still would have preferred some thing more substantial whether that being the fake chrome edge, being actual chrome, or perhaps a few extra grams to me wouldn't go amiss.
Actually weight to me is an issue (design wise) as they run to make phones lighter & lighter, I actually prefer something that feels a little weightier than really light. The 4S to me feels more sturdy than the iPhone 5 for example, simply down to the 20g extra. I'm not a big fan of making things too light and too thin.

Not smart, because Facebook Home is going to be appearing in just an HTC phone. That will build buzz about the name.
Implying anyone gives a crap about Facebook Home
Besides, it's on the Play Store for most popular smartphones to download already and there's patched APKs that run on any Android phone.
Posted my thoughts on the HTC One in the main thread.
To be honest, I can see that Samsung would compare the One with the S4 in terms of build quality, as the One is truly stunning and gets almost everything right...
Except, as someone else says, the user experience. The Power Button/Wake Button issue proved too annoying for me, and I sold my One.
I'll be waiting for an S4 now, it is clear to me that user experience is king.

Let us know your impressions of the S4 when you get it

Only 900 million people seemingly
If only 10% are willing to try and give facebook home a spin that's 90 million users. As many as Samsung hopes to sell an S4 to.
