Samsung Pokes Fun at Apple Maps in Australia with 'Stranded Vehicle' Demonstrations

I guess "It just works" doesn't apply in Australia. :P

This is funny but my only problem with Samsung Galaxy series phones is that a lot of people at work have them and I would say the majority of the time I see them using the phone with a cracked screen after one drop. Since they're stuck with a contract they can't replace the phone without paying $100-$150 for the insurance deductible and aren't eligible for an upgrade anytime soon. Samsung needs to focus on making the outer casing more durable; what's the point of having an awesome phone if you have to put a case on it to be sure it doesn't brake. Just my 2˘.

Awesome!!!!!! But here comes lawsuit #107,366 from apple against Samsung! Apple will cry like a little b!tch and probably claim emotional distress in the suit!

I'd love to see them do some of these in the states... I posted yesterday regarding apple maps rendition of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge... it looks worse than the Galloping Gerty (which was the original Narrows Bridge BTW)

pretty scary stuff

I don't think I would blindly follow directions from my phone out into the wilderness. Still, this is funny as hell.

I live in Phoenix, AZ. There are stretches of highway between here and LA/SD/Vegas/basically anywhere, where you can go an hour and see nothing. I could see being on the highway for an hour in the middle of nowhere thinking everything is fine. But when the road turns to dirt, that might raise a red flag or 2 lol

agreed. Durability IS an issue. My GNEX has been more durable than my TBolt was though. Plus, I think their release of their "unbreakable" screen next year should address those issues as it stands

they sure the hell are. But the locked down BS made me leave Moto. I loved my Droid, and was looking forward to the Bionic sooo much until I heard they wouldn't have the bootloader unlockable

Which is exactly why I'm moving to the galaxy note 2. I love moto durability in just really really tired of the locked bootloader

yup. I'm hoping they learn before it does irreparable damage. Rooting has become so popular that it should be a noticeable loss to their fan-base
