Online product and service ratings are dominated by marketing people these days. It's not a bunch of random people as they lead you to believe.

Go into an Apple store and try out an iPhone 4 for yourself. Then go into whichever store carries the Samsung Galaxy and do the same with it. You can't go wrong by actually trying the phones out before you buy them.

Great advice.

I've been using an old (it would seem nowadays) iPhone 3G phone for a year now. It's been a bit problematic of late, and like other people when i upgraded the software to iOS4 it started to play up more.

That being said, i don't think i'd have any other phone other than the iPhone. I won't be changing my phone for another year yet, so unless something comes out within the next year that really catches my eye i'll be going for the next gen iPhone, probably the iPhone 6G or something.

I am still using the first iPhone, my wife has the 3G and she seems to have more problems with hers than mine. I thought about upgrading to the latest iPhone, but have heard too many complaints about it so I will probably wait for a future release before upgrading.

I have a Nexus One running Android 2.2 and love it. I'd definitely recommend checking out some of the new Android phones from HTC and other manufacturers depending on your carrier.

What Apple did going from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 was double the number of dots used on the same size screen.
Both devices use a 3.5 inch diagonal screen, the difference is that the 3Gs has 163 DPI and the iPhone 4 has 326 DPI.
Apple also seems to have put more effort into the brightness/contrast/lighting with the iPhone 4 to make the increased DPI "pop".

Typical PC monitors use anywhere from 72 DPI to around 120 DPI.

Given that the Galaxy has a 4.0 inch 480x800 resolution which figures out to 384,000 total pixels,
and the iPhone 4 has a 3.5 inch 640x960 resolution which figures out to 614,400 total pixels
the iPhone 4 has 1.6 pixels for every pixel the Galaxy has and it packs those pixels into a slightly smaller screen which results in more detail.

No Flash support -- Technically, competing devices don't support Flash either. They support a stripped down version of it which works just well enough to play video that decimates batteries. The "no flash" argument is like one college kid being picked on for never getting laid by another guy who slept with a prostitute that has AIDS.

Is this just your opinion or do you have a reference to back up your statement?

It sounds like an opinion, however i am inclined to agree.

I always had Nokias, maybe once in a while i would change to another type but generally it was always Nokias. They used to have the best phones around. The Nokia 3310 was solid, and battery life was great. The last one i had was very plasticy and generally of a poor build. Software wasn't nearly as good as older times and it just failed. The iPhone i have now isn't better in terms of software, but build wise it's done pretty well. Still looks as good as new and i've owned it for over a year now.

I've got a box full of old Nokia phones. They've served me well over the years. I think Nokia has fallen way behind as far as smartphones go though. Nokia seems to be trying to imitate Blackberry as far as smartphones go.

Not to say Blackberry makes bad phones, but if you're going to spend Blackberry size money on a Blackberry style phone, you might as well get a Blackberry phone.

Blackberry was the first "smartphone" if I remember right.
