I agree. Also, I would like to add that most people buy an iPhone because they simply just want to be seen using an iPhone :D
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
man that trend is finally changing now, in my office 5 people have iphone 4s, as soon as they saw s3 on my hands, they took it from me and started playing like a baby plays with toys, they know samsung is miles ahead, still they are using iphone bcz of apple...

sent from: designed for humans :)
[Galaxy S III General] thesponz:
That's because it's so big they thought it was a speak and spell :) (showing my age)

In fairness I'm a tech addict so I had to try the SGS3 but if I'd tried a One X first I'd be in their forum telling people the same thing.

What I liked most about making the change was android and the options and customisations available to me, not the actual phone. But I know from my mum who had an original SGS1 it was too flakey and complex for her and she's now an iPhone user who'd never go back. It really is horses for courses. You can do so much more with android but some people don't want or need to.

This whole thread started though because of the law suit and not because of which phone is best. So fair play to apple I say. Be interesting to see what Samsung do next.

[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
I'm not saying they should have to, I'm just saying it wouldn't be a bad idea to distance themselves from Apple a bit seeing as they keep getting sued.

Think I'm biased all you like, but I'm not. I prefer iPad to Android tablets (although the Nexus 7 looks pretty awesome), but prefer my S3 to the iPhone. I'm a technology fanboy, not to any single company :p

Good ideas but some aren't really possible; for example, how can it be demonstrated that you came up with an idea yourself? Any company could just falsify documents to backup any claim that they came up with an idea independently.
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure somebody will, aren't Apple the only company who spend more on advertising than R&D?

Edit : They are not in the top 15 innovative companies. - http://news.techeye.net/mobile/apple-spends-more-on-marketing-than-rd
[Galaxy S III General] alankstiyo:
here comes another joke xD

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5220021_700b.jpg

and I read that Samsung is planning to sue apple if the iphone 5 has LTE, saw it in the korean times, not sure if it`s completely real but I hope

edit: @sarbe well we knew they are not innovating at all, so not really a big new, the problem is how to make understand this to the US courts

Erisccson T68 if I'm not mistaken was the first color display phone, then came the Smartphone P900 that have a touch screen with Sony Ericsson.
[Galaxy S III General] JediNinjafication:
Agreed but what I take from it is this: it's a way to get patent laws noticed other than Apple suing everyone. I think it forces the people regulating the laws to look at the bigger picture and that picture is times have changed. Our technology didn't exist when the laws were put into effect and now they need to be looked at from a modern standpoint and revamped as needed. Seriously, when I was 10, 12, 15, I never thought half the things we do now could be done. Remember playing Oregon Trail? think anyone at that time would have thought you could fit that machine in your pocket and art the same time have the advanced capabilities it does? In a way crApple might have fine e us all a good thing here, shi#+y as it is. This case brought to light issues that need looked at.
[Galaxy S III General] on2a:
You do realise TV companies and car companies etc sue each other for copying designs ALL THE TIME? You don't hear of them because they aren't billion dollar suits, but don't assume it doesn't go ahead
[Galaxy S III General] lee.asid:
Let's forget the fact that Samsung phones have a SAMSUNG logo smack right in front of the phone for it to be mistaken as an iphone. But anyway in my opinion Samsung did get an inspiration from the iphone's design and I think their main reason from doing that is not to deceive people but to actually make the adjustment/learning curve for people who were iphone users a lot easier. Apple is really good at gathering the inventions of others then combining them up then add some magic dust and voila a revolutionary product that they invented. But in all fairness to apple their products are really good and though they did not invent such product they make them mainstream to the point of making other companies follow.
[Galaxy S III General] JediNinjafication:
while i agree with you, it's the hypocrisy of it all. I cannot stand Microsoft. cannot stand apple. Microsoft because Bill gates sells overpriced garbage that is barely compatible with itself, like a home version and pro version of same system on the same network and apple because they sell overpriced products they took from someone else yet cry foul if anyone dare so much as. ..oh i dunno ...use a rectangular device maybe? both lock their stuff down so tight its ridiculous! i mean come on gates..I'm using MY valid key on a different disk of same exact system yet i can't install. i lost my disk. using key on back of my computer. who cares what disk i use. its the key that gets bought. apple locks their phone. I'm sorry but once its sold apple has absolutely no claim to it period. be like me selling you my car and keeping the keys. its the selfish mentality of those companies i can't stand. apple needs to get over themselves and remember they are not god.
[Galaxy S III General] thesponz:
Totally agree with that, that's why so many people are trying other phones, especially us geeks !!!

However, they are still entitled to fight tooth and nail to protect their patents, as are every other company.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I don't know why people argue about Apple or Google releasing the first touchscreen phone.

IBM released the first touch screen mobile phone in 1993 AFAIK.

Apple released the iPhone before Google released an Android phone, but they were both planning it for years, none of them got the idea from the other.

So to those saying that no phones would exist from Samsung or anyone else if the iPhone didn't exist, are false, because the iPhone wouldn't have existed if tablets and touchscreen phones never existed.
[Galaxy S III General] JediNinjafication:
that's what I'm saying ! apple exploited the patent system and that's all there is to it
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
We all love our S3 but let's be honest, Samsung CLEARLY copied the iPhone with the first galaxy S. If you don't see that then something is wrong with you.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I agree that it shares similarities with the first iPhone, but it doesn't give Apple the right to patent shapes. "Rectangle objects with rounded corners and flat surface" basically tells us of pretty much any smartphone today.

The fact that they actually legally could patent a rectangle object with rounded corners clearly shows how retarded the patent system is and that it needs to be reformed to not kill innovation. One thing Apple doesn't do (innovate) anymore. Anything they claim to have innovated after Wozniak left is as much bullsh*t as ever.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I totally agree with that, I was just saying the galaxy S1 and the iPhone look alike, that's a fact.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:

1st of all

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/30/us-google-apple-idUSBRE87T15H20120830

it looks like both CEO's are talking in order to avoid any future patent battle, so Google can protect the companies who use android (personal thought)

2nd

it looks like the iphone wont have a big production due to this, however I'm not sure because the screens thye use are from LG

will leave you reading it, but all I can say is wtf US courts? the world is right and they are just stupid fanboys
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
People assume that just because they look the same then they copied. There's hundreds of different phones that look the same, it doesn't necessarily mean they all copied another. Just made the way a phone usually looks and some just happen to look a little similar but not enough for someone who isnt an idiot to get mixed up.

If anyone has any proof of them copying other than saying "you can clearly see they copied the iPhone" please feel free to share, otherwise keep quiet because you can't just assume it's true. Nobody knows whether it is true or not so don't assume it is.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
No one can honestly deny Samsung did take some major design cues from the iPhone for Galaxy S.

But I used to have a Ford Sierra and they credited with being like the Father of the modern saloon car, because if you squint everything since looks pretty much the same, but is Ford *****ing and moaning about everyone copying? No because if people see a decent design(LG Prada) then customers are gonna want something similar and let it evolve to look better.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Yes they look alike but so f-ing what? Most things in this world do look alike. Cars look alike, televisions look alike, kitchen appliances look alike, almost everything looks alike! It's just the way the business works in modern times. Deal with it and stop being *****es about it.

Android manufacturers may copy ideas from iPhone and iPhone absolutely copied ideas from Android, so if you can't take it don't do it. Simple as peas.
[Galaxy S III General] JediNinjafication:

[Galaxy S III General] daddioj:
apple made NOTHING. and i mean NOTHING. yes they took ideas and put things together a vision. of what they wanted. but they didnt create invent ****. the parts in the phone are not even theres. HELL IOS is not even theres. just made it pretty and easy to use. even the Iphone name wasnt even theres. it was linksys who had the original iphone.

thats why apple puts patents on everything. bc there not an invention company. there a recipe company. i guess apple owns everything in the world since it has round corners. i guess they own the rocks outside as well. idiots

[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
You sound really lame to be honest. It's like a kid saying "why" to every answer you tell him. I know people who aren't as passionate about their phones as we all are, they will tell you the S1 is very similar to the iPhone. Very similar doesn't mean it's the exact same, it means it looks like it, it reminds you of the iPhone. As far as me proving it to you, I probably don't have a chance cause it sounds like you expect me to pull out some documentation or something. I don't have it. But if you look closely and try to make sense you'll notice. I don't like what apple is doing, I don't like the fact that they are scared of competition and that they patent thing is ridiculous, but come on now, once again, if you don't thing that the S1 isn't inspired by the iPhone then 1, you're a fanboy and hate apple to death 2, you're not familiar with either the iPhone or galaxy s 1 or 3, you're a dumbass.

[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
even if they did, there is nothing shocking in this. This is a market entry strategy and this is what written in the text books at least. The first one to enter in the market enters with his own idea, the next one copies the idea from first and does the reverse engineering to add some extra value. The last one who enters the market copies the work from both 1st and 2nd,, this is how it goes...
[Galaxy S III General] eric-filth:
Its clear here. Apple dont want win the battle doing better products but want win with patents, monopoly and banish?

Oh my god. Shame.

[Galaxy S III General] Roundtableprez:
Yes I do...
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I agree.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Yes they are slightly similar, just like many other phones on the market. Even if they did "copy" the iphone I don't really care because iphone didn't come up with the idea, they copied ideas from others. So people saying that other phones wouldn't exist without the iphone is bs because the iphone wouldn't have existed without the phones and tablets that existed before the iphone. To be honest I don't even see much similarities with the LG Prada and the iPhone, slightly similar but they're not exactly the same like some people make out.

Like I said earlier, all companies copy one another, it's just the way it is these days, it's called competition.
[Galaxy S III General] thesponz:
It's not called competition it's called copying, that fact that it creates competition you could argue is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it but it's still copying. Goes back to the post earlier about good artists copy and great artists steal. Apple stole everything from ideas to hardware and put them all together to make a phone that has completely shaped the way our phones are made and look today. Samsung are just sheep who copied it and bought nothing of their own. If it wasn't the best spec'd phone then I'd be using something else, because lets be honest, most of us are here for android not Samsung.

Also makes me laugh people hoping apple crash and burn. Just imagine the hole that would leave at Samsung as they are along with Sony, Samsung's biggest customer.

For the sake of p*ssing off all the fanboys in here incapable of having a sensible discussion who are blind to what's right in front of them, I hope Apple buy Samsung with their loose change, keep the good bits and shut them down. It would be so funny.

Think I'm going One X!!
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
True, the iPhone did copy from its predecessor, and true, saying other phones wouldn't exist without the iPhone is dumb. But at one point, and it's a fact, the iPhone was the best phone out there (in 2007) and they did revolutionize the mobile industry by borrowing ideas from others. With that being said, the only point I was making is that the first galaxy s was definitely inspired by the iPhone. Now Samsung has moved away from apple and they are doing their own thing. Now other phones, in my opinion, are better than the iPhone. I'm not defending apple here I'm just saying facts. Now apple is taking from Samsung and android with their notification center, the upcoming iPhone with its rumored 4 inch screen and so on. Its normal to borrow from one another but when you start suing based on ridiculous things then it gets out of hand.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
If Apple borrows stuff from other phones, it's okay and nothing happens. If others borrow stuff from the iPhone, then it's not okay and stealing is wrong plus a big fat lawsuit.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
if a copier is copying from all sources and combine them into one and claim it as their own, what right has he to tell everyone not to copy what he copied?

what if the one he copied copied also from many sources to make that copied copy by the copier yet he didn't say no one has the right to copy it ; then does that mean the copier has the right to say to the other copier it's your fault.

yet when the copier's copy is copied by another copier he goes ballistic like a rotten apple and sues the hell out of the copier.

moral of the story is:

so if you're a copier you have no right to say no copying because you yourself are a copier.

you only have that right if you didn't copy.

btw, you can enjoy One X's version 4.0.4

I completely agree.

The iPhone was the best phone on the market for a very long time nobody can deny that, but now other manufacturers are upping their game and becoming better than the iPhone, and Apple don't like it.

Like the above posters have said everyone copies to a degree even apple.. in my opinion The IPhone Is too restrictive... I came from a couple of Iphone's and comparing it to my first Galaxy I really hope Samsung keep Upping there game and take over this ****.. LOL care 4 apple.... simple thing like changing a ringtone to your favorite song that is in your library is a hassle until I finally found this app that not even half of the average users have and still don't have, reason there ringtones are still stock... Lol @ itunes.

Congrats on being the least intelligent guy here.
[Galaxy S III General] thesponz:
Haha thanks.

Seriously though, the fan boys in here just p*ss me off. Every other thread in the forum at the mo is about how much people hate the iPhone or how much they hate Apple. This is a forum about how much we all love Android and its driving me mad. Its as pathetic as the court room goings on if not worse.

If you haven't got an iPhone and you wont ever buy one then why even bother discussing it. No one is actually discussing the facts behind the case, instead every other comment is about rectangles with round corners etc. Just leave it to the people who know what's going on on the inside and lets get back to talking about how good JB is on a SGS3.

As for my intelligence, seriously. Just look at some of the other comments in here about Nazis etc. Pathetic.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
You basically insinuated that you don't like Samsung when you said that you hope Apple buy them out with their "loose change"
[Galaxy S III General] thesponz:
What I meant was, at least it would get rid of the pure fanboys and leave some intelligent people behind capable of having a rational debate.

I don't hate Samsung, but I don't love them either. What I DO love since leaving IOS behind is Android. Especially JB. so I'm not biased either way. If something better than the SGS3 comes along that isn't a Samsung then I'll have no problem moving.

What I won't do is go back to an iPhone as its just stale. But I'm not going to slag Apple off on here because I don't (neither does anyone else on here) know all the facts, and it's not really massively relevant to this forum. And I'm certainly not going to compare the most successful tech company of all time to Nazi Germany just because they dared to challenge Samsung I'm court.

That was my point.

There's a good reason why Samsung didn't hire any of us to take Apple to court!!!
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I see your point but youre were trolling for a minute saying "im going to the one x" you wont be missed.

As far as us consumers, its understandable that we "root" (as rooting for a team )for samsung, apple, htc or whatever have you. But it doesnt make sense to not accept someone else's choice especially as android users because we are more "open minded". Criticizing someone for picking an iphone or a one x is worse than anything cause it means he/she should get only one brand and it leaves competittion out of the picture. I would hate a mobile industry with only samsung phones or only apple phones. Can you imagine no diversity? Well thats what apple ultimately wants, they want everyone to use their products and they are trying to get rid of the competition. I cant stand it and to me it is worth boycotting their product.

One more thing..... FUC* YOU APPLE!
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I understand, after 2+ years, that ROM development and the forums for the EVO are gonna slow down. Devs are going to move on to other devices, but there is a really disturbing trend here that is irritating the hell out of me.

ROMs used to be released as Aplha's Beta's RC's, final, etc. You could look at the OP and see everything about the ROM. Devs took their time crafting something unique.

Now, I'm seeing these ROMS come out at a rapid pace and I'm not liking it for several reasons.

1) Poorly written OP's that don't even list the Android base version or the kernel, etc.

2) The same ROM with different names and the only real differences are a few 3rd party apps, or a slight theme change.

3) ROMs released as finals, with a ton of bugs. I'm not talking about FFC, Netflix, 4G bugs on ICS/JB ROMS; I'm talking about ROMS with no Wifi, for example. The majority use WiFi. Why the HELL would you release something where one of the most important aspects doesn't even work?? It's like not paying attention to details is suddenly OK

Settings that don't stick. Sounds that don't stick. Constant System Process Errors. These are pre-release errors, and I don't see them getting fixed, because it's become like a race to port every other ROM from every other device and tweak to boot up on the Evo, then letting it go.

I REALLY wish I could take the time and learn how to properly cook up my own ROM. My OCD of paying attention to details would probably make it great.
