Talk about being a smarty pants. In what can be described as the marketing equivalent of flipping the finger at the competition, Samsung has begun giving away free Galaxy S smartphones to a select group of angry iPhone 4 owners.
"Recently there has been a real increase in online activity from consumers dissatisfied with some of our competitors' products," Samsung said. "We decided to contact a cross section of individuals to offer them a free Samsung Galaxy S as a replacement, as we're confident that once people have the phone in their hands, they'll see how impressive it is for themselves."
Of course, not just anyone with an iPhone 4 can cry foul over the well publicized antennae issue and expect to receive a free smartphone from Samsung in return. Instead, the mobile phone maker is targeting users it deems as influential through social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.
