Who's this We ? You realise many of us aren't in the US right ? Might want to keep that into consideration when discussing things on the Internet.
Yes I realize that. That's why I said it. If you are not inside US borders, this would not include you.

Look at the forum's title.
I don't see where it says "MacUSRumors". Again, why do you claim "We" don't care about anything outside the US ? Who's "We" you're referring to ?
Do you refer to yourself in the plural form ? If you don't care about life beyond your borders, why are you posting in a thread about stuff that happens in the whole wide world you don't care about ?
Could be. But the the key item here is in your own words, highlighted in red.

You would have to be in the US. Are you in the US?

No. Anyone can comment. I did. Thread title not withstanding.
I think that all of your problems are related to #4. You are upset because your phone doesn't work after you didn't take care of it. You think a Samsung phone after you damaged it will work better?
Good point. To the original poster, there may be a work around to grab your pics. If you connect your phone it should be recognized as device, on Windows 7 it's listed as Apple Device/Internal Storage/DCIM. You can grab your pics this way. I realize this is not ideal, however at least you will be able to back them up.
In my opinion (please no flame here as it is my opinion and I am not forcing it on others), this is the only valid reason why someone should continuously buy iPhones year after year. I personally switch OS every year or so, and doing so made me waste immense amount of money on different eco systems (BB, Android and iOS, soon WP7). Presently, I use an Android because I personally wanted a bigger screen and I hated the squared design of the iPhone 4/4s. I would go back to my 3gs but the screen is just ugly now in today's standards.
But getting back on the subject, congratz to Samsung reaching such milestone, I personally hate the design and the feel of all Samsung phones today but I am very interested in trying the Nexus Prime!
The GPU debate is kinda pointless at this point, iOS games are much better than the games on Android (this however is not my personal opinion), it does not need a better GPU to consider itself the best mobile phone gaming platform. But for someone that does not game on their phone like me, it really does not matter but I do admit Family Feud on iOS is amaziiiiiing.

For Samsung, yes. Because Samsung sales their phones to people who imports their phones in bulk and those people sales them to the stores which then sell them to the customers. When you buy a Samsung phone, Samsung had their money a long time ago.
However Apple has their own store. So if Apple ships their phones, it doesn't mean they actually sold their phone.
( this is probably why Apple has a bigger profit margin. When you buy an Apple phone, it's directly from Apple. When you buy a Samsung phone, alot of people have been paid for it )
This argument/debate has been done too many times within the 18 pages of this thread. It is pointless to argue like this, one side will ALWAYS disagree with the other. Let us just settle with saying: good for Samsung being able to ship out over 20 million phones and boo Apple for not shipping 20 million phones, people that actually want your phones have to wait in line and/or fight to get the last one.
Could be a good point. If in fact if the above is true, why do they say shipped instead of sold? Based on the above, when the phones leave them, they're sold.
Defensive ? Just pointing out the fallacy of "everyone buys the iPhone as a status symbol".
Because to you that's all an iPhone is, it doesn't mean it is to everyone else. To me, a phone does not define you, but the iPhone is currently the one with the best SoC (the GPU matters to me) and the eco-system is what I'm invested in.
To others it could be a myriad of other reasons. Just don't promote your personal opinion, especially such an incendiary one, as what is the absolute truth of it.
I understand that but why reply with my quote saying bad Kool-Aid does not make you high? There was no hidden meaning saying that iPhones are status symbols...
Kool-aid... fanboys... etc... Your post sure it made sound like anyone buying those phones were "drunk" on the kool-aid.
Can you read?!?! I said Kool-Aid does NOT give you any mental high/drunkness/delusitions. Devrais-je le dire en Français la prochaine fois? Why so insecure to automatically assume I'm insulting fanboys?
100% true!
100% that you agree to a meaningless and unfounded statement? Why do people insist so hard on having such a bad image of themselves?
