Samsung Takes Another Jab at iPhone 5 in New Video Ad

Good luck getting the fanboys to admit Android can do something iOS can't. It's amazing how many of them think you can't do simultaneous voice and data on CDMA.

The iPhone is not at the bleeding edge any more. Hasn't been for a while.

[citation][nom]del35[/nom]The sad thing is that the people lining up to buy the latest Apple craphone naively believe they are at the cutting edge of coolness (which in their feeble mind means "technology")---nothing could be further from the truth. There is nothing worse then a deluded moron that in an act of hubris celebrates his ignorance.[/citation]
LOL, wow. I couldn't have said it any better...

[citation][nom]willard[/nom]It's not the network, because it's not the network. I own two CDMA phones that can do simultaneous voice and data.It's cute when fanboys refuse to acknowledge obvious shortcomings on their toys.[/citation]

I get what you are saying about the antenna and all that but it depends on the network. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409716,00.asp AT&T and T-Mobile never had that problem with the iphone because of how it connects to their network. Customers in Verizon and Sprint will be screw.
and can only do one at a time.

"but the iPhone 5 display has a higher pixel density (326 PPI vs 306 PPI) which will actually result in a sharper image."
I agree if you have to touch your nose with the phone to be able to read the small text. Then you might see 20PPI difference. Otherwise a bigger screen is better.

[citation][nom]opmopadop[/nom]This point cannot be emphasised enough. How many of you waiting in line have picked up a Samsung GS3, or even seen one?There are some very cool alternatives to iPhone that us "apple haters" wish you would open your mind and realise all those hyped features you crave have been available in stores for quite some time now.P.S. Worth re-watching for the 'Phoooosh' guy ;-D[/citation]

I agree.

A typical iFan is "the girl in red". Sexy, cool and think herself top of the world but, in reality, is being raped by the machine for her life-force.

The commenters here are like Neo. Trying to save as much as iFans as possible to free them but educating them.

But Morpheus said, "They depend on the system and would attack you if you try to break them free from the system."

[citation][nom]nuvon[/nom]Oh, I forgot to tell you iHaters, I have an S3. I really do. Those who ask people to open their mind like the pcman guy, should really open your mind and try iPhone I am sure most of those haters who HATE iPhone or Apple haven't tried iPhone. If you never try iPhone, how can yo compare the Sx and iPhone? Again, like i said, it is very entertaining reading you iHaters comments; i can imagine, in my head, how pisssssssss.....ed off you guys are with iPhone or Apple or whatever from Apple. Maybe iHaters from around the world should get together and have a gathering every year like a picnic barbeque, you know, just to strengthen your bond together and reinstate your faith in hating Apple.[/citation]

I, once, decided to at least try using an iPhone. I went to a local phone shop with my friend (at that time, I'm using my Galaxy S 2 and my friend went there to buy an LG Optimus 2X).

I was really amazed by the iPhone 4S. Not because it is good but because it is so plain and simple and --- I don't know how to put it. It is so limited. I felt a strange sensation that the phone refused to let me control it.

Seriously? Only a tile of icons, which are not even sortable by Name? That's all it got?

I decided I'd never try to touch that shit again.

Because they use CDMA, yes iPhone can use simultaneous data & voice over GSM + LTE, but not CDMA + LTE. Pretty much all other LTE phones atm can do voice & data over CDMA + LTE. Most of China uses ( a variation of ) CDMA too. Of course, if you are not on a CDMA network, this won't bother you.

It is almost impossible not to have tried out an iphone. Serioulsy, who doesn't know someone who owns an iphone ? And who didn't at least try to play with it for a few minutes ?

Now the only few people I know who own an iphone are aware of it's limitations and are fine with it because they say they don't need to have more options. That's fine with me.

I find it entertaining to read comments from iHaters. No matter how they play down, criticize, or making shit of Apple products and its users, Apple is still doing well, and iPhone is still selling well.

Your comment is sooooooo feeble minded. The fact that technologically retarded people have been conned into purchasing iCrap's latest rip-a-moron-off device does not mean that the device is good. It is a commentary on the poor level of technological sophistication of the people purchasing the product. No one, absolutely no one with the most basic understanding of technology should hand over even a penny to Apple for its unserviceable mediocre products; doing so is ethically unacceptable. Apple is eroding freedom in technology, besides ripping off the people.

No, you very obviously don't. You are trying very, very, very hard to blame the network for Apple failing to support a feature. They could have done it. There was nothing stopping them. Android has done it for years. The fact that they chose not to support simultaneous voice and data on CDMA is nobody's fault but their own. The network presented a problem, and Apple decided not to solve it.

Whether they did so because it would have had a tiny impact on battery life, or made the phone 0.1mm thicker or 1g heavier, or just because they want to protect their 300% profit margins, I don't know. The end of the story is that if you buy an iPhone, you can't do voice and data over CDMA, while if you buy an Android phone, you can.

Refusing to acknowledge this as a weakness of the iPhone is ridiculous. Like, full blown denial.

but it depends on the network.

It absolutely does not. It would depend on the network if the network made it impossible, but it doesn't. It simply requires a different approach than GSM.

Is it your car's fault if it runs out of gas because you refused to fill the tank? Is it your house's fault if a roofer refuses a job because the pay isn't good enough? Is it your wallet's fault for being empty if you decide not to go to work?

A problem was presented and a conscious decision was made not to solve it. Others have solved it, but Apple did not. I just cannot see how this is confusing in any way.

The bottom line is that the iPhone does not support simultaneous voice and data over CDMA, while all the top Android phones do.

Customers in Verizon and Sprint will be screw.

You're only screwed if you choose to be. Like I said countless times before, we're talking about a feature Android has had since early 2011.
