I’ve been an iPhone fan for a long time, but as a designer, this is the first phone I’ve seen that seriously makes me consider switching.
couldnt agree more with you @shaun hensher
Somehow I hope Samsung patented the hell out of multi-touch screen with stylus interaction…
patent or no patent, this phone blows the iphone out of the water
in your face apple, you make the coolest gadgets but let some also enjoy, cant stay atop forever
well, i for one see only a phone company which takes ideas and designs from apple, slightly modifies them to look as their own ideas and designs.
There’s still the sticky point of “What to do with this pen?”
Remembering to bring it, losing it in a pair of pants you wore last week, or at the bottom of a purse…
