If you don't have an iPhone...

Many people would disagree and go with Blackberry OS or Android because they don't have the restriction of iTunes and therefore making it hassle free.
Choice kinda inherits comparisons of everything, so there is no surprise to see people argue their case with their own handset.
However, on most forums like these, doing valid comparisons will not change some peoples opinions on certain things.
Moral being: buy whatever you want with your money
I had an i phone 4, terrible phone, like every apple product. Style over substance, got a samsung galaxy s, works fine. Apple products are seriously over rated, the i pod is one of the worst mp3 players ever made, a sansa clip + is far cheaper and has far superior sound quality. Plus better expandable memory options, but because its apple, the misguided/uninformed still buy them.
Oh dear.
He's right on the mp3 player and he merely expressed his opinion about the Apple products.
Problem?
BTW, my SGS's casing is built of ****ty plastic and I wish it was aluminium like Apple's phones.
I like the iPod software and I personally can't notice any difference between the audio quality on the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S or Galaxy S II.
He said the iPhone 4 was a terrible phone 'like every Apple product' and didn't really back it up with anything of substance.
I do too. The Galaxy S II is nicer than the original though at least
I disagree with that last bit, some people buy them because they're the best thing for what they want them to do, no because of who makes them.
MicrosoftNokia will rise from the ashes of fail and destroy everything in it's terrible path.
GoogleApple will be forced to merge driving every fanboy utterly insane.
Microsokia and Gopple, I can see it now. To the future!

Afaik Microsoft and Nokia are merging forces on the mobile market, actually.
You need better headphones/IEM's then

Doesn't give me any comfort since I sure as hell ain't buying another Samsung with their policy of keeping the latest software updates to their latest hardware.
I like the fact only misguided and uninformed people buy Apple products. Yet another example of the blind rejection from those that believe specs are everything and the full experience means nothing.

Even with better headphones, I'm willing to bet the difference isn't big enough for it to really matter on the whole, I've heard very little about it other than the DAC on Samsung stuff is generally better, but not by a lot.
I've never said or even implied that Samsung is any better in that area, Sansa Clip+ is, though, and once you get to the market of dedicated players for high-end IEMs, iPods are once of the worst choices when it comes to decent DACs, regardless of including price in the calculation or not.
Ok, so taking fine audio quality out of the equation, him saying that "all Apple products are terrible" is still idiotic, baseless, anti-Apple rubbish.
Personally I want a phone that can text, ring, browse the web and entertain me when I'm bored with software that just worked and wasn't boring. I also wanted something that looked nice and felt premium with aluminium and glass. I looked around, quite liked Android but just found most of the handsets a bit boring and not up to scratch hardware wise, then looked at an iPhone 4, then decided I still hated the UI and small screen and settled on an Omnia 7...
All the music I can ever want streamed to my phone at any time, great sync software, good apps and it looks fresh and new (unlike android which generally looks a bit pap, except Sense and iOS which looked ok 4 years ago, yet not really updated in that time...)
If that Apple advert really is those two lines then even for Apple standards that's low and pretentious. But then it seems to work and pushes people to buy iPhones when there are plenty of as good and better devices out there. It does make me die a little inside when Apple release a new product though, the queues and the obsessives that appear to be almost entirely exclusive to Apple (the useless queueing and cheering/high fiving etc that goes with a launch like that).
At least we're past the "iPhone killer" phase that occured for a couple of years in the media due to iPhones just being another smartphone now...

Incase anyone hasn't seen it (there are several versions though). It does make me cringe, but then so do many adverts
