Samsung UK Giving Free Galaxy S Android Phones to Unhappy iPhone 4 Users
Hmm, stay with Apple and get a free case or make nice with Samsung and get a free Galaxy S? Tough one.
So you bought an iPhone 4 and you're not happy with your purchase. Well, if you're lucky, Samsung UK might give you a free Galaxy S, complete with Android 2.1, a 4-inch (480x800) AMOLED display, a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird CPU, a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus (and the ability to shoot video in 720p at 30fps), up to 32GB of storage via MicroSD and Swype pre-installed.
The company has been responding to miserable iPhone 4 users on Twitter with sunny tweets offering a free, unlocked Galaxy S as a replacement. You don't have to fill in any forms or send in your iPhone 4, you just have to PM them your address and they'll stick your phone in the post.
Samsung says it only has a few left to give away, but judging by the company's Twitter feed, it's given away quite a few already. As if there was any doubt that this is Samsung taking advantage of the bad press about iPhone 4's antenna, the company tweeted at one lucky iPhone user and said the phone had been getting great reception.
An official statement from Samsung (via Wired UK) reads:
"Recently there has been a real increase in online activity from consumers dissatisfied with some of our competitors’ products. We decided to contact a cross section of individuals to offer them a free Samsung Galaxy S as a replacement, as we’re confident that once people have the phone in their hands, they’ll see how impressive it is for themselves."
If that doesn't give you a Friday feeling, nothing will.


Tollers gonna troll?
Tollers gonna troll?
0o
Ummm, if you can't use it as a phone due to reception issues then how good is it???
Because crappy reception because you're "holding it wrong" makes it better?
Riiiiight........
After what Apple has deliberately done to nearly 2 million iPhone buyers some people would swap their iPhones for a dog-turd because at least it doesn't pretend not to be crap when it is.
Minus the ability to own a fully functional phone with a fully functional antennae?
And just because other companies don't spend as much on advertising as Apple... well, thats why you pay so much for your Apple products.
and now they can't even get their phone fixed. Deserves them right for sleeping in Apples bed.
The metal/glass exterior makes it break through windows better when you throw it out one from frustration?
forgot to mention that their phone is not eFused and has an unlocked bootloader.
Comes in t-mob or ATT flavors.
only thing... too bad I dont live in UK.
