    am not saying that Samsung's technology is inferior or something but just going by the rat race isn't also a good understanding... you see there are many consumers in fact much more consumers of Chinese products as well... go with class not with the mass...
    there are indeed serious limitations in apple products plus many techs are not even given which other phone's have but sincerely speaking the experience of using an iphone far outweighs them all... the flair with which they make it is beyond comparison...
    and as you mentioned Samsung i would like to put this point that Samsung really does cut around corners little by little, which are not even visible at times, to make their phones cheap - one example: try to open a photograph captured by Nokia 5233, which has only a 2megapixel camera, in a Samsung Wave2 which runs on a 1gh processor and you'll get ur answer... and of course you are free to open it even on iphone 3gs, not to mention 4s...

                        Dr.X, 28 Jul 2012well if you're using samsung phones for 5 years , and you c... moreOkay, I do have a huge respect for Motorola (now that you brought it up, in fact, I currently own and use a V3 RAZR)...but please, let us not go farther from the fact of truth. Consumers are NOT dumb...if the Samsung sales are raking up millions and millions of success stories more than the iPhone and other mobile phone brands - especially in our world today where people aren't anymore techno idiots...then I would be more inclined to listen to their preferences than yours, Sir. If you consider my opinion as inferior to yours (as your post obviously means), then inferior too are the preferences of more than 60 million Samsung users around the world. The more intense and violent your reaction is - the more obvious desperation is seen and felt of the product you're defending about.

                              stupid guys....might be apple was inspired by sony...and y not, sony has the most cool and sexy designs ever....apple was inspired but at the end it came with its own design i.e. iphone not like samsung who copied 90% design of iphone....
                              look samy neva eva was able to compete with nokia who ruled this mkt 14 for 14 yrs...its just bcoz of copied apple designs and google's android software..

                              everybody says hea says buy samy not the fruit....but i would rather say y to buy samy when we r getting same functionality in SE and with sexy designs....huh...samy fan boys juz ans my ques why acc to you samy is better when there is SE and HTC kind of brands + LG, MOTOROLA with same softwares....???

                              good morning guys,, wake up

                                this should be an evidence, that sony is one of the three phone revolutioners, (others are motorola n nokia), that even being-said-innovator apple needs sony to inspire him. more over, choose a phone which stands stylishly in the crowd man!

                                so be smart to choose smartphone dudes!.

                                    Eriksson designed a symbian smartphone that was in a James Bond movie a few years before this as well where bond controlls his car by using his phonr as remote... innovetions are great but when apple claim to have invrnted something they didnt its kind of funny to see though. hands off for apple to marketing there products so people fall hands over fist to own one theyare truly good at that!
