Samsung to Apple : “It's not me, honey, it's you!”
Share:
Now a Samsung spokesperson informed a Korean newspaper that the antenna on the Omnia II is on the bottom of the device, away from the hand, and not on the lower left side, which causes interference in the iPhone 4. Samsung has been diligently conducting field tests with all its smartphones, so reception problems with them haven't been reported, and are unlikely to happen in the future, the company confirmed.

Agreed. They make make Apples processors and HTC screens, not including their own. I wouldn't talk ish about them if I was in the phone world.

I thought that was so childish of apple to try this, they all use the same technology with the antennas but apple was the only one stupid enough to put in on the side.

Got my captivate yesterday - awesome phone - metallic finish makes this phone sing.....love the little touches - sliding door to access micro USB port and how easy it is to take off the back cover. SUPER AMOLED screen is nice, too.

Yes, the Galaxy S is IMHO the best Android phone out there - except for the camera which has no flash. If only Android had iTunes... But I'm sure that they are developing something similar.

There is an app for the Android phones that allows the phone to sync with iTunes... if that's what you mean.

Yeah I know. But it doesn't allow you to download Apps from the market, and completely manage your phone via the PC. Thats what I want.

"But it doesn't allow you to download Apps from the market" What?

As I said. The only way to download apps from the Android market is via the phone itself. To date - afaik - no application on the PC allows you to download them directly on your PC. iTunes does.

HTC Sync does for HTC phones. Check your information, dumbass.

Maybe you should have learned to read - instead of calling people names. Here is what I've written: "The only way to download apps from the Android market is via the phone itself." Please pay attention to the word "Market". Here is the relevant part of the description of HTC Sync on HTC's website: "It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone" Please pay attention to the words "third-party". Now - lets do reading comprehension 101 - third party apps - are apps from dubious quality which are downloaded from all across the internet - and not from the Market. I meant - specifically - downloading applications from the market - which is an official, monitored-by-Google place. The reason I meant the Market only, is because it is monitored by Google - and I have learned the hard way what happens when you download apps from anything that isn't the company's official site\marketplace.(Hint - it turns your device into an expensive paper-weight). Have a nice day.

I had a Samsung Omnia for a long time, and the Omnia had some issues with the antenna, because it was located at the bottom of the unit. They even put a sticker on it notifying you of the antenna's location. I often time did have to hold it by the top of the phone, or else I would have worse signal issues. Matter of fact, at my house, I often had to stand at the windows or go outside to keep a conversation going. When I moved to the Motorola Droid, I never had a signal issue. Now, there could always be a higher threat of cancer, but you always have trade-offs to evaluate. Doitall76

True dat on the Droid. However, you don't have to worry about cancer, really. I used a Moto V195s for almost 2 years, had about the highest SAR rating on a phone ever-just under the safe limit, and I mean it was scraping. I don't have any "tooomers" (repeat that in your head in an Arnie Shwarzenegger accent) popping out of my skull yet.

Lol, at least Apple didn't try to say that Motorola had any signal issues on the Droid. No matter what else Moto's ever screwed up on, they've always kicked ass at reception. If Apple had talked smack about them, then everyone would've KNOWN they were just bullshitting. I mean, it's pretty hard to screw up on reception when you've been making radios for over a hundred years.

These articles are getting a little stale and redundant First it's RIM calling out Jobs for his comments, then Nokia and now Samsung. Who's next and when is the article going up on here? Jobs basically called out the entire industry in an attempt to deflect the ownness on his own decisions. When everything else fails, you throw out anything you can and hope something sticks. What Jobs is doing with his comarisons to other brands is more to satiate the media than it is for iPhone buyers, users and most importantly, prospective iPhone buyers and users. If I had an iPhone and it wasn't living up and performing as advertised, why would I really give a crap about issues with Nokia, Samsung, RIM etc.... It wouldn't make my product work any better.
