        What put Nokia down in the scale is just the outdated OS. Symbian is dead. also their negative to run in the same way as everyone else do. no tablets, no android just "nokia World". Apple Iphones is just Big because Marketing, and good looking devices. Sony adopted Android. i would like to see a Nokia running ICS this year. i bet it would be a Monster Smartphone. Samsung, i gotta say it, i love it. i have my Galaxy Note and i have to admit it, is the BEST phone i ever had by far. i love what Samsung has been doing, with Mobile, With HDTVs, and everything else. but i dont like to be unfair. Nokia is Nokia, everyone here reading i'm sure have had a nokia. but when a winner takes the throne i admire it. way to go Samsung, keep surprising us for good, and Nokia, it's time to make a good move.

            Damien L, 27 Apr 2012Have a nice day Sir... You must be upset on your wife or yo... moreNow that was refreshing to read, look at how much you have improved with constructive banter, my last jab wasn't even needed.

            Mind you I strategically chose those words in an attempt to evoke this result.
            Imagine how productive these discussions would become if everyone took a second to think before typing.

            Now that your mind has leveled, mind trying to point out where my opinion differed from yours? Re-read and you will see they are one and the same, minus the fact that I am not a brand loyalist.

            Do have a good day.

                  [deleted post]So which mobile does grown up prefer?

                  iCrape??? opps sorry, iPhone???

                  Samsung has proved its worth and others are just jealous. It's quite obvious!!! I understand the envy these numbers has caused to other Manufacturing lovers.

You must be upset on your wife or your dog must have died and you're getting things out here... You're an English Law professor, good for you not for me... and the person you named here ‘Lord Denning’, I respect him a lot Sir, but because you behaving like a looser, I don’t think you deserve to even write his name…
                      Not tech savvy, but a Tech Magazine Editor, riiiiight.
                      Yes you’re right… Google my name to find out more on me…
                      And Michael, act like you’re one mature personality rather than disagreeing, you’re behaving like one under 16 now… other people have already answered you on my behalf… You only argue to prove you’re right, but we can to a certain extent converse to prove what is right…
                      End of what I had to say!!! You have a bless day Sir!!!
                      And let your thinking grow, not just your age…

                        samsung make cheap mobiles. android is cheap itself and looks this way. cheap or free useless applications fever is typical for unemployed loosers or brainless teens. it is normal samsung to sell as long they have very cheap android models. if renault is no.1 in car sales, it doesn't mean is the best, isn't it?? it means just have resonable cheap cars for mass

                          sammy gradually and slowly goes to 1st position.so i think it maintains its position for some long time.

                              I'm an Apple user and I love my Iphone 4s. This News is really sad to me, because I think that Nokia has the best hardware. However, don't worry. Nokia has thousands of researchers and scientists. I'm sure they are preparing a surprise for us. It is not easy that a huge and giant company as Nokia will leave its number one position.
                              For Samsung, don't worry. they will loose that place soon because they used to imitate and copy-write every patent. Like what they stole from Apple and Nokia.

                                  Nokia will maintain itself in top 5 for ever.Cause of its super solid basic phones.

                                    AnonD-1312, 27 Apr 2012If you think that Android is the Life saver of mobile phone... moreWill u please start using the small protected organ inside the skull called 'brain'? R u blind as well? Cant u see that sammy has already beaten nokia without releasing any major phone this quarter? S3 is merely ensuring that the feat wud b repeated over again. Its nokia who needs a saviour not samsung. N who do think u r to proclaim what s3 will be over s2? Whatever it may b ,it still will b more of an update to s2 than what lumia 900 is to lumia 800. N again i wud advice u to use ur brain. Lg, htc, samsung,sony r competeting for domination over android sales. So if one ends up dominating it then naturally the others will face losses. More than half the smartphone market is dominated by android, i think thats more than enough to prove who the boss is.

                                      congratz samsung... why nokia lost their position..
                                      bcz of their high price product
                                      they still dont know what consumer want

                                      samsung read the mind of people they start galaxy y with low cost and give a chance to use andriod phone as compare to nokia they start their windows phone with 2.5 time more cost than samsung... nd samsung make their image of galaxy series in cheapest phone.. now i m happy that samsung put the crown from nokia..
