The LG Nexus is also fantastic value, only bad thing is the memory size on it. But it's funny I can get 2 Nexus 4 LG phones for £40 LESS then my 32GB iPhone 5 cost me from Apple!!!
Got a tip for us?

If you're going to use a source, don't link to AppleInsider.

Like I said, there is a difference in using Apple products and worshipping everything Apple does, which is what you and many other commenters here do. And this website is called MACrumors, not AppleRumors, and not iRumors.
And Apple users are called sheep because people like you represent them with a very loud voice.
I don't understand why people get so offended by these ads. I'm an iPhone user and I think they are funny.. it doesn't seem like they are attacking apple users at all.
I specially like the one that makes fun of the waiting lines which starts with a line and saying "Chicago (or whatever). 10 hours to go" haha
Also why so much hate for Samsung? The more competition the better for us customers, no matter if it's from samsung, nokia, sony or whatever. It speeds up the adoption of new technologies and software improvements!
Take the new droid DNA from HTC which has a 441ppi display. I can assure you that every flagship android phone in 2013 will push for higher pixel density because of it.. how can that be bad?

When will people learn that acting childish actually steers customers away from you? Maybe Samsung should focus on what their product is good at and stick to it -- Constantly focusing on the "I'm better than you because _____" campaign is more likely to send people elsewhere in my honest opinion. 
1. The 30000 people who live there, and the thousands of tourists who pass through each year.
2. If Eric Schmidt is a criminal then so is Tim Cook (Apple being guilty of trademark and patent infringement on many occasions, including under Tim's leadership).

jealousy coming out at every opportunity lol samsung.
soon you will be just another Microsoft.
i still like your washing machines though.
Drive thru? Blasphemy! You go inside and bring your MBP with you!
This I am not cool enough for. Nor am I cool enough to "touch phones together" for that playlist I so desperately need.
Hmm actually samsung should have taken the left there. Instead of touching phones the two dudes whipped their junk out and started sword fighting.
Loud Blonde girl with bad hair from commercial: "Whad'ya guys just dew!!!!!!!!!" *wipes eye*
I actually checked out that commercial again and also what is up with the dude holding the spot in line for his parents? Does he have lips?? That is creeping.
Apple commercials suck as well and all look the same mostly, but seriously that Samsung commercial has much comedic gold in it. (comedic gold as in the actors and dialogue) That dialogue writer should be working for Nolan in no time!

Seeing this as a iPhone user doesnt make me want to buy a GS3, it just makes me want to buy more apple. Samsung can take this and shove it up their ass. They will never beat apple.

They will never go back to Google. Ego issues. They need a decent search engine integrated with Maps/Navi. Only options are Yahoo and Bing. Easier to grab Yahoo.
You must personally feel so insulted/angry about the commercial to want anal penetration (ppl tend to do to their enemies what they secretly want and repress)
You must have an iPhone up your ass.

lol... funny, i feel quite the opposite... My next phone was going to BE a Galaxy S3....
Wasted promo dollars. EVERYONE in Australia not to mention the first and second world already knows about the Apples Maps fiasco. Not like they need any convincing Google Maps is better. But Samsung is the best selling smartphone company in the world so it's hard to argue with their success.
I won't even go near one on the weekends. I got one of Apple's advertising emails announcing the reopening of their Santa Monica Store. That just makes me want to avoid it. The old one was too crowded to move at times.
I want to check one of those out. I know the iphones quite well from use, especially as everyone I know seems to upgrade the second a new one comes out. I have yet to see the Nexus up close.
Mac vs PC
The best thing for Apple is to have serious competitors out there (and serious customers, not a cult following).
Apple uses the same tactics as Samsung. At least Samsung is trying to innovate... I don't really see the iPhone 5 as a major breakthrough.
But maybe Apple is making easier money in court and finds litigation more worthwhile than improving their products (battery life, wifi - you know, the basics that STILL don't work well on all products).
