Wow, you sure showed Samsung. I bet they just pack up and close shop. Nobody wants their phones anymore all because little ol' you wasted time in your day to edit one of their ads. You Win! ;)

I can't take credit for the edit. I came across it on the web. I thought i'd post it for fun. :D Can't wait to get my 5. :cool:

lol @ samsung fanboys who feel the need to spend the last 3 days on an apple site to justify their purchase. Don't worry about what others think of that fugly oversized piece of plastic boys, as long as you like it that's all that counts.

Samsung shoots itself again.

Well if anything the ad will definitely start people asking the magic question: What do I need all this extra **** for anyway? Seems to me that simpler and elegant is the way to go and that's the iPhone all the way. So we owe Samsng a thank you for all the free advertising they are giving Apple. Not too bright. Just like all the SIII trolls who haunt this site trying to put Apple down and justify their own stupidity. And so it goes....

Kind of like I'm a Mac-I'm a PC right? Oh wait, that was apple...never mind.

apple isnt the market leader in PC space*. they are in mobile.

*tho they are the leading PC manufacture in annual growth...the others are dropping in sales while macs continue to grow year after year.

Sammy is just counting on the geeks who love spec whoring.
That's all Sammy can bring to the table: specs. Meh! iPhone is a beast. It can replace a small laptop in certain arenas.
I kept my iPhone 4 for two years and still didn't touch nearly all the power it has. My girlfriend has already pre ordered me the iPhone 5, in white 16 gig model. Yipee! Sc**w Samsung.

Tilt!

Oops, and while I'm at it, does this "Tilt to Zoom" feature mean that you have to hold your phone stock still to use it, else if you accidentally tilt it you'll be zooming all over the place? That doesn't sound like a benefit to me. More like an annoyance. As we used to say in the pinball days....TILT!

...this is the alternate devices section :eek: I think you might've been looking for the iPhone sub forum instead. Also, consider the possibility that a lot of us own other apple products. ;) Good day. Btw iOS is boring, looks like its from 2007, etc.

It's also ironic because it was the Apple camp who felt the need to defend their purchase?

Yeah who needs specs? Let's get rid of pinch to zoom and bounce back on pages for all iOS devices! Let's also get rid of Siri, maps, turn by turn, flyover, etc. That'll show how much of a spec whore Samsung is even more.

I don't think it's exactly a one way street. I don't like the way Apple fans have embarked on a witch hunt of all things Samsung. The iPhone and the S3 are both great phones. Samsung make some excellent products. In many ways they have taken over the mantle previously held by Sony. Prefer what you prefer without resorting to slagging off the competition.

SPOT ON, well said!

Well that is not true. I've bought many iPhones and this is the first one that I could really care less about owning. The S3 has superior hardware with an inferior OS, so it's really up in the air for me right now for my personal phone. I need a work phone as well, but I'm probably going with the Blackberry Bold because its far superior for business use.

But how can I assuage nagging feelings of personal inferiority if I don't insult other peoples choice of mobile phones?

I find it even more ironic that they are advertising the S-voice, which is a complete rip-off of Siri.




What about the turn by turn voice navigation?

What about the notification bar that can be pulled down?


I see all these phones on a daily basis. I can honestly say Apple got a lot of potential owners taken out of the game (with VZW at least) when the preorder unlimited data launch of the S3 happened.


Everyone knows if you cannot outsell your competitor sue them so they cannot sell it anymore.

----------

That ad is a bucket of BS. Who the hell cares about "tilt to zoom" anyway?

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, because apple advertised pinch to zoom for years like it was sliced bread. Now thinking about another way to zoom other than covering the screen with two fingers makes you upset... :rolleyes:


I get it though, your really angry because its not a tickle to zoom or something that would be a complete knock off. Apple would then be able to SUE :D

It's not about who has the best specs

It's not about who has the best hardware

It's not about who has the best OS

It's not even about whose is cheapest

It about what fist best into your life. It's entirely about personal preference.

For some, personal preference is yammering on about specs and owning the positive side of the razor-fine line between superior and inferior.

For most, it's about simply liking it better.

Spec wars are a complete waste of time and effort. We live in the goddam future, in a time when everything does EVERYTHING. None of us are left wanting for features, or capabilities, or access to information.

Prefer a bigger screen? Get an S3.

Prefer iOS? Get an iPhone.

Absolutely none of us should give even a glimmer of a ****** about anyone else's decision.

Brands are like people. You are free to choose who you want to be friends with.

And smarmy attack ads like this one, about a complete and total non-issue, just tell me I don't wanna hang out with Sammy.
