I am fed up with this iphone killer business. Better manufacturers focus on their products independent of this madness. And NO DON't BUY SAMSUNG as soon as it is released in the market. They take about six months to fix bugs, buy after that. Build quality is not impressive, I had two, C100 and X460. There will always be some bug or some feature missing.
In C100, the phone would go on beeping when an sms was received till the battery went low, in case you did not see it. The only options were to beep (every now and them) or turn message alerts off. Beep once was a feature they decided to introduce in other models, but not to upgrade the firmware of the phone
X460 was another piece of ****. While the above mentioned problem was resolved, a new one cropped up. I could not assign ring tones I downloaded to my phone to various persons or groups, I could only assign the factory provided tones. Downloaded tones could only be assigned as the main ringtone.
Firmware updates??? God only knows.
Think twice before you buy a Samsung phone, I'll probably never buy one again.
I then moved to Nokia 7610 which i enjoyed for two years, and then moved to the HTC touch 4500. BIG MISTAKE. This phone sucks BIG TIME. Should have stuck with Nokia. It's not that I'm a Nokia addict, but this phone is SO SLOW, and it eats the battery like anything. I used to charge my two year old Nokia 7610 once in two days. With the same usage I charge this HTC EVERYDAY. Not to mention that I have to reboot my phone everytime it act's weird.
Think ten times before you buy HTC, I'll probably never buy another again.
