mykeyb Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just had a read of the review for the Galaxy S on the stuff.tv website and was interested in this snipet. Annoyingly, though, there’s no pinch-to-zoom action yet for flicking through pictures and the browser mechanic is uninspiring. Is that really true?

TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 No the Galaxy S does have a pinch to zoom on it , there talkin complete bollox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted September 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 30, 2010 Pinch to zoom is a stupid Apple-ism. Counter intuitive and designed to push multi-touch screens. But yes, I think all androids with touch screens support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 As far as reviews go, techradar and its htc love in makes me want to smash my computer screen. The htc Desire is in no way what so ever a patch on the galaxy s. Even more so now they've had to switch to lcd screens. The desire is old, inferior and vastly out sold by the galaxy s yet these clowns persist in the myth that it's still february and it's still the best phone.

West Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 But for CVB and dirk, I would have been buying a Desire and regretted the choice given the new Desire HD is now out (or coming out soon) plus the fact that the Galaxy S is a fantastic phone. Although I'm annoyed about the delay of Froyo. I understand that there are ways of getting 2.2 up and running but the firmware discussions on the XDA site go over my head quite frankly.

under_the_bridge Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Having had an iphone 3gs and now 4 and browsing the forum I noticed a few people have gone from iphone to Andriod phone. With a great deal of disappointment with the current iphone - I wanted to ask the people who moved from iphone to andriod what their thoughts are on the andriod phone compared to apple? Any regrets? Do you miss the apple brand? Or is the Android phone as good (which I suspect it is - just that apple seem to market their phones better IMO). Also can you sync an Android phone with iTunes? Given all of my music is played through iTunes, I don't want to use another format and was hoping that if I did switch I could keep my music as it is? Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

CVByrne Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Firstly yes you can sync Android with iTunes. DoubleTwist music player (which is the best one which has a handy widget) will do that for you. Two of my friends switched from iPhone 3GS to Samasung Galaxy S, one of them was quite worried by the switch as he was quite happy with the iPhone and he had numerous go's with my Xperia X10 to dispell the vast number of false rumours about android. The latest one being an actual review (see above) that stated it doesn't have pinch zoom when all Android handsets with running 2.1 have pinch zoom. To say he was happy wit the switch is an understatement. So many things he never thought he needed or wanted because they weren't available on iPhones he now can't live without. I normally refer to him when people quiz me about switching from Apple to Android. But at the end if the day they are smartphones and do many of the same things. But the app store aside anything you can do on an iphone you can do on a top android phone. But there are many things on android that aren't on the iphone. But if you are an apps and games junkie the apple app store is still superior to the android market, with 250,000 apps compared to 100,000. Android is closing the gap, but currently games come out on the iphone before they come to android. But more and more games and apps are being developed for both platforms.

TheDon Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's a super watch!Aye was looking at that the other day, it's one of those things that could be awesome, could be junk. I'm hoping it'll be awesome, not worn a watch for years and that really appeals to my geekness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yeah, it is pretty sweet. I'm looking at getting a new watch soon, but the big thing about watches for me is battery life. I dont want a watch I have to charge up more than once every two years! I'm waiting on the Seiko E-Ink watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 My iPhone contract expires early next year (February or March I believe). Are there any good Android phones upcoming during that time period that will be better than the Galaxy S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hard to know. There is rumoured Galaxy S2 in April but that's just a total rumour. I'd say you'll only really get wind of ones with release date in March around Christmas or probably January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Any thoughts on the Orange San Franciso? looks a bargain at £99 Look back just a couple of pages. Excellent phone for the dosh, decent screen, recentish android, rest is a bit of a compromise but for £99 what do you expect? If the processor was any faster and the camera any better, it would be a £400 phone. And the good news is it cost me £5 to get it unlocked, as Oranges tarrifs are terrible, and thsir customer service stinks to high heaven. I dont think they sorted out my billing yet.

under_the_bridge Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Skype app now available on android Works over both 3G and WiFi. Galaxy s not supported yet. I wonder why it's not available over 3G on the iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Because that would clog AT&T's already shitty ass network in the US. The iphone is made primarily for them. Also the video chat thing in the iphone 4 is almost totally pointless anyway. Video chat with other iphone 4's over wifi, if you're using wifi you're probably at home so why not just use skype on your laptop? The way they sold this video chat as if it was something unique and new is comical. Three network has had it for years, over 3G too. To be perfectly honest video chat with a phone is not something I'll ever use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
