Well I have an HTC One on 3 and I get a signal in the building at work. 2 '3' iPhones (a 4S and a 5) do not.

I'm with you all the way Simon! I'm not interested in over customising things I just want it to work without taking out an ology in it I'm certainly not a technophobic in any way, shape or form either!

Thats why the iPhone sells, it has its market, but to call the S4 'cr@p' is rather harsh. Its a superior device that just needs a little investment. iPhone is the Audi of phones. Functional, but plain and dull.

These threads are a bit like the Xbox v Ps3 fanboy arguments
Great fun but in the end its all done to personal choice, one mans meat another's poison

I happen to love my Audi as well as my Apple product Neither of which I find dull or plain in any way. Or my Canon camera gear although I'm sure a Nikon shooter will say otherwise. My Panasonic Plasma I love but someone with an LED Samsung will no doubt love their Tv as much! Need I go on People, see what's out there and get what's right for you, not what others opinions are of said products

Agreed, perhaps I was a little harsh, and I agree with the Audi analogy, the Samsung is the MG6

I would say the iPhone is the Audi R8. technically proficient, but hardly soul stirring. The S4 is more like a Lambo, not as easy to live with maybe, but it has the smile factor the Audi lacks, just from looking at it. HTCs? Ferraris.
Ill admit I am bias, I despise Audis, they are a mobile coma. I agree Android takes more work, but its more rewarding once its how you want it. I guess its the same as when people call the S4 'cheap'. Plastic it maybe, but its far better engineered and durable than the iPhone, whos anodisation falls off, sometimes before it gets to the customer!

.....and my iPhone, spend my life gluing bits back on it My last one went for a trip into the toilet cistern ( don't ask ) and still had the misfortune to work after an evening sat in the airing cupboard , terrible product Notice that not at any time have I had to resort to put downs at the Samsung's expense ! If it suits you and others then that's fine. You just need to acknowledge that others are allowed a choice in phone, car etc and may actually be happy with that choice!

Nothing I said isnt true. Audis are universally reviewed as rather sterile, even when they are good.
The anodisation on the iPhone metal back does fall off. Its poor quality, its a well known issue. Obviously there are better and worse batches. As i said iPhone have their place, but to give up on a rival after one day, especially an Android that is so customisable, is symptomatic of Apple conditioning. Apples entire mantra is that if they dont have it, you don't need it (until they have it), and if you dont like it or it doesn't work, you're doing it wrong.

You don't even have an S4! Your just conditioned to stick up for android.
