Why not iPhone 4?
Samsung Galaxy S certainly goes head to head with iPhone 4. Both phones have their own strengths and limitations.
- Screen: Galaxy S has a bigger and vibrant screen while iPhone 4's is a lot sharper.
- Glass: iPhone 4 does not use Gorilla Glass, it's easier to crack.
- Build: iPhone 4 is 0.6mm thinner with unibody metal case. However, there is the AntennaGate problem.
- Weight: A bit heavier than galaxy s
- Apps: iOS > 600k apps. Android has >400k apps. Android has more free apps.
- Video call: Galaxy S supports native video calls while iPhone 4 needs to be jailbroken to do that.
- Connectivity: Android can use any bluetooth devices to pair with Galaxy S. Not with iPhone 4.
- Flash: iPhone 4 does not have flash support in its browser.
- File transfer: Android is able to transfer files wirelessly unlike iPhone which depends on iTunes.
- Multitasking: Android is able to multitask like a computer. It's able to switch to the recent 6 apps by holding down home button. On iPhone, only certain apps can run in the background while others are put to sleep.
- And most importantly, can get free Angry Birds with all levels on android devices!

If you dig aesthetics, iPhone is better.
If you dig functionality and freedom, android is the way to go
