However, it has been recently announced that Samsung is not about to give Apple any more slack for their constant allegations that the Omnia II smart phone has a bad antenna –after all, since the Omnia II came out, no one has been complaining about dropped calls on the device and it does not need a casing to work.

Samsung has taken the fight from playing defense to offense. Originally, Samsung has come up with a pretty suggestive advertisement for the i9000 Galaxy S smart phone: the new poster shows the word “hello” with the double L’s being replaced with a signal bar graphic –apparently a mockery of the fact that Apple’s fussing so much about their signal bar. The rest of the ad contains little to no text at all, just an image of the smart phone and the Galaxy S brand name. While subtle, the ad is quite effective –particularly for anyone who is familiar with the recent news regarding Apple.

Aside from the new ad, Samsung is taking the fight directly to the market. With increasing activity on the internet –particularly, on Twitter, about the issues with the iPhone 4 antenna, the Korean manufacturer has seen it fit to offer free complementary Samsung Galaxy S smart phones to various individuals who are complaining about their Apple iPhone 4. Several folks have already received the free Android from Samsung.

The Samsung UK Facebook page also has a special promo that will raffle out free Galaxy S smart phones to any user who “likes” the page. No word until when the offer will last so anyone interested should sign up fast.
