I get that, but I'm still shocked by just how amazingly cynical they are.

I've been hitting up @SamsungMobileUS on twitter with messages saying I'm frustrated with my BH2, how about a Galaxy S.

Only for iPhone Owners in The UK. Not to mention the people they gave free Galaxy S's to are People in charge of blogs and marketing and such. Samsung is trying to get great PR in the UK.

Well they already bought off several blogers in the states with free stuff as well, including tmonews

Yeah I know, I read it quite thoroughly, that wasn't my point. I have not heard (or read) anything about it being a thing rewarding bloggers, but maybe that's true. My point is that their own BH2 phone is defective and disappointing, and they're choosing to very publicly give away free phones to people who have purchased defective phones from ANOTHER company. They could easily give away free review units to bloggers for good PR, as they do all the time, without it being so offensive to their own prior customers. What they're doing is (or at least should be) really bad PR, but there's no such thing unless people point it out. So if that's your point, fine, but please at least assume that I read thoroughly the blog posts or news items that my post is based on - no offense, but I'm sure you don't mean any either.

what they should do is offer free galaxy's to blackberry users, for right now they are in the lead of the market share.

But that might not go good since blackberrys have physical keyboards

They'll do it with the Galaxy Q (Which is the hard-QWERTY "Blackberry-Style" version of the Galaxy S)

Yeah that must be true because they have a poll on tmonews about how people like their vibrant I posted a comment that said "my girl loves hers but I will wait with my mt3g Slide on an HTC powerhouse phone to come Tmo's way"...... and they deleted it. I went through 3 pages of samsung butt kissing looking for it. It was there yesterday but today....... nope.

Well that is one less bookmark in my folder
