Late Rant: Things that are wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung's Galaxy S5 is out and making noise. Here's my late critique about the S4.

1. Poor loud speaker. - No solution, may be use a bluetooth speaker?
2. No stereo speakers. - No solution.
3. Ear piece sounds muffled, Sony Xperias have better ear pieces. - No solution, Maybe use a headset?
4. Too slippery - Can be solved by a case.
5. No dedicated camera shutter button. - No solution

Disclaimer: We have several Samsung Galaxy class phones, S2 and onwards in our household. Sad but true.

How LG and Sony Mobiles Failed Us

I had read reports about people having issues with LG and Sony mobile phones, but I wasn't prepared for the extent of issues that would appear when I decided to try out Sony (Xperia Z3 Dual and Z3 Compact) and LG (G4 Dual SIM, V10 Dual SIM) mobile devices. LG G4 Dual SIM - UAE Model This story is widely known, my wife's LG G4 went in to a boot loop, one month before the warranty was about to end. LG authorized service center in Sharjah swapped the motherboard in less than ten minutes and we were on our way. However my friend who also went through the same issues, says that his LG G4 has started having issues of slow downs again. Time will tell if these phones last. LG V10 Dual SIM - Singapore Model -  Battery Issues From the start LG V10 Dual SIM - Singapore Edition, had terrible battery life, I would hold Qualcomm Snapdragon accountable for that poor SoC implementation and I would hold LG accountable for not compensating for its poor battery life with a bigger battery.

Maybe Nokia can allocate some resources and get this done? Don't think that'll happen, considering their new allegiance to Windows Phone 7.

PPTP VPN Clent for (Nokia) Symbian S60 3rd edition

I rather get a free app from Nokia than pay for some thrid party app, which should’ve been part of the package from the start. But I found a PPTP VPN Clent for (Nokia) Symbian S60 (3rd edition). SymVPN 1.00 for S60 3rd edition SymVPN - Compatible Devices SymVPN - FAQ €29.95 EUR is definitely not a reasonable price for it... Update : If the app included OpenVPN/SSL support this price and app would be perfect. However that might not happen because OpenVPN is Open Source and SymVPN is not. Edit Saturday, 9th April 2011: I do have to give these guys credit for supporting the Symbian platform. Even if they slightly raise their prices it would be worth it, provided code quality and support is increased along with it.
