Samsung or iPhone?

[1930]

Samsung all the way for me. Currently half-way through my 24 month Galaxy SII contract and I'm still happy with it!

What about you douche-bags?

[HighWay]

i love my iphone 4S

fcuk you

[KevinHR]

I have a cheap ZTE.

Works wonders as a Japanese dictionary.

[VJF]

I have a cheap Samsung Tracfone, and I've never had any thoughts or want for anything else at the moment since I don't use it that often anyway, so I guess Samsung for me too.

[Halberd]

Used both and preferred the iPhone though I like Samsung as a company more but that doesn't really effect which one I buy.

[Tony-DarkGrave]

go with a Motorola Droid. you will never be dissapointed twice the hardware than a iphone and half the cost

kinda like building your own PC compared to buying a mac.

[MidoriKatsu]

iPhone.

then explain why Android makes 71% of Smart phone users?

lets see price, battery life (razr Maxx gets 25 Hours if you have it on the right settings) and easy interface and almost as sturdy as a iphone, plus the fact that android doesn't sue you for unlocking their phones or illegally gives your information to the government.

[KevinHR]

Please don't start a childish iOS vs. Android war. They both have their pros and cons, there's no superior.

All Gingerbread (2.3) and earlier Android phones sold outside Japan, for instance, has a bug which causes them to display Japanese characters with Chinese fonts, which is extremely annoying. The only system-wide fix for this requires you to *root* your phone, possibly voiding your warrenty. This bug isn't even really fixed in ICS or JB, it will only display the correct Japanese fonts if you set the system language to Japanese.

are you trying to trick me with your bogus? it clearly says android or apple for 71% of smart phone users. nice try . . . not! pretty typical of android users to not be able to read and also buy the wrong kind of phone *laughs at you*

No, I'm not Japanese.

Although there are a shitload of Japanese blogs providing instructions for fixing this, I haven't notice any ranting at all. They're probably hidden on 2channel.

Please tell me you are joking. My post wasn't even large at all.

thats because Gingerbread 2.3 is a outdated OS system for earlier phones from 2009 who still uses those? plus its asian languages I wouldn't be surprised if asian characters don't compute or some shit.

ohh woops to early in the morning for arguing. guess I am wrong. need coffee. anyways android makes 42% of that 71% with apple making 28% though I don't know why people still use Black Berrys..

Looks like it, or rather they just aren't as vocal. The only complaints I've seen on this issue are from foreign Japanese-learners.

Although I would argue it to be a trait more specific to the Japanese, rather than the entirety of Asian cultures.

"This bug isn't even really fixed in ICS or JB, it will only display the correct Japanese fonts if you set the system language to Japanese."

And again, you're forced to root your phone if you want to fix it.

Besides, I only pulled this forth as an example of the lack of usability you find in Android phones. Another thing that annoys me is that whenever I restart my Android phone or plug it into my computer, the keyboard defaults to the standard android keyboard. And to change back to the keyboard of my choice, I'm forced to enable it in the Settings menu, hold my finger on a text field, choose input method, then finally choose the keyboard of my choice. It's like linux all over again.

But I won't be pushing the above issue as like you said, Gingerbread is outdated, and I doubt this bug is present in the newer versions of Android.

[smulse]

I have a HTC, but I'll probably get an iPhone next

[BumFodder]

Samsung Galaxy obviously, the iPhone is pretty shit compared to other high end smartphones and the Galaxy S 2 and 3 were and are the best out at the moment.
