According to a report from wired, if you are tired of your iPhone 4′s problems, you are eligible for a free Samsung Galaxy S. What is not clear is whether this is a UK only deal. This is important because in Europe and the UK the iPhone runs on all major networks, not just ATT. If you are a frustrated iPhone 4 user, it may be worth a call to Samsung or ATT to find out if this deal is good for North America as well.

The Galaxy S was first released in the UK and the only comprehensive review I could find is based on the UK version. In March Samsung stated they would be selling the Galaxy S in the United States starting in summer of 2010, which is now. It seems that the Galazy is one of the newer “super” droids like the HTC Incredible (or 4G on Sprint) and Motorola X which have sold by the boatload since their introduction and are generally considered iPhone contenders.

Would you switch to the Android platform from the iPhone if it were free?

*UPDATE*

This phone is available on the US ATT network under the name Samsung Captivate. It is slightly different than the European models, most notably it lacks a forward looking web-cam. The price is quite good at USD 199 with a contract, USD 499 without a contract. Details here.
