| ![]() I have used the Samsung Galaxy S for few hours and I would say that iPhone still has an edge when it comes to the OS and the overall experience. Its more intuitive and you can have an app to do almost anything under the sun. P.S. I am an iPhone 3GS user. |

Problem with iphone apps are that its still managed by App store and they can restrict various applications based on their policies (Or else one should go for iphone jailbreak). But the open nature of android is attracting numerous developers to it and its just a matter of time before it takes over iphone in terms of number of apps. |

How would you rate the HTC sense UI when compared to iPhone's UI? Samsung has Touchwiz, which I am not that impressed with, so kinda ruling galaxy s out at the moment. But might change my mind if the screen is really as good as people claim it to be. | |

Galaxy is the first Android phone I have seen, and I feel the screen quality is pretty good. I do not know what to compare it with. |

The thing with the iPhone and Apple's strict control is that they dont want to compromise the usability of the phone in anyway which is why they would only let you use their own API's and not developers own. Look at their copy and paste implementation, by far the best I have seen in mobile phones and the multitasking which isnt exactly multitasking in the truest sense of the word but does the job without slowing the phone down or draining the battery. Also while talking about iPhone we almost always forget that its also an iPod, which is a world class music player and one of the primary reason why I chose the iphone. The Audio Quality on Androids just wasnt a patch no matter what the reviews said. P.S. Installed the Sygic Mapmyindia maps application today and I am happy to report that GPS fix happens in seconds even without the A-GPS on! It fixes faster than my 5800 would with the A-GPS on! P.P.S The screen on the Galaxy S is amazing but its a little too saturated at times. The novely of the screen would last so its important to look at usability and performance when you go and select the phone for you. Last edited by extreme_torque : 29th July 2010 at 16:17. | |

| ![]() Today I have come across an article which was referring to buy Iphone in India which is officially unlocked. Buy iPhone 4 in India for Rs. 43,950 < Mobile Phones < PC World India News < PC World.in This is the link where you can get more details. Apparently I was taken aback after reading this article to know the amount some people are charging for IPHONE that they have to sell even on TeamBhp which is as high as 72000 and ripping the poor customer who is a big fan of apple. Hence I have posted this link where in anyone interested can order it. PS: I am no where connected to them and posting this only for information to people who want to buy Iphone 4 |
