Samsung Giveing Away Free Galaxy S to Unhappy iPhone 4 Customers

 

For, what seems to be the best PR move in history, Samsung UK has been pleasing frustrated iPhone customers by giving away a free Galaxy S to owners of the iPhone 4 who have had reception issues. How are they doing this? Well, through their twitter account of course. You do not need to give them anything, execpt for your address, and then they will send you out a free Galaxy S phone!

Official Statment from Samsung:

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.

It seems that Samsung have already given out quite a few of these Galaxy S devices. Sure beats a free bumper case.

White iPhone Delayed Until Later this Year

 

Apple has just released a statement about the white iPhone and it is not good news. The white iPhone 4 is apparently much more difficult to manufacture than the black iPhone 4. 

White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

If you are still waiting for the white iPhone 4, you may be waiting a long time for this mythical device.

iPhone 4 Coming to T-Mobile USA?

 

Since for ever, people have wanted the iPhone to be on a different carrier in the US rather than AT&T, mainly Verizon. We probably won't see the iPhone on Verizon until they launch their LTE network and Sprint seems to be not interested in the iPhone. But what about T-Mobile? Well, like AT&T, T-Mobile's network is GSM so Apple will not need to put a CDMA radio in the iPhone. But they will need to change the 3G bands so it will work on T-Mobile's network. 

Well on to the rumour. Cult of Mac is reporting that a "highly placed source" at T-Mobile told them that there is a 80% chance of T-Mobile getting the iPhone in Q3! I know, a weird time for Apple to release a T-Mobile version of the iPhone, and we don't know if this source is even credible or what it is based on. The biggest evidence of this actually happening, is the statement from Deutsche Telekom's CEO in March, saying that "the USA branch is hoping to get the iPhone later this year".
