Wonder why Research in Motion a.k.a Blackberry isnt in the Top 3??far as i know it might be a less prerogative that Phil. has many BB users... Good thing for Samsung that they garner the market share almost half of Google Android.. It would be a great fight if Nokia, Apple and Samsung might fall back each other.. Congrats to Galaxy ppl..!

HTC has just put out crappy phones with specs that were not at the top of the game... I used to have HTC butafter the Galaxy S I moved to Sammy and never looked back.
Where Sammy and other competitors put in 1 gb ram HTC have for many of their devices only 768 mb, or the competition have a card slot and HTC does not... There is always at least 1 let-down point that keeps me from buying HTC... And was the same with SE I mean the ARC a gorgeous device but with only 320 mb storage and 512 ram... C'MON!!!

It's just that I prefer simplicity and convenience,but as well enough to satisfy all my basic needs plus the other useful features which a smartphone is known for,over others. The more functional together with the convenience it provides, the better for me. Of course, that doesn't mean I am already satisfied with the 'second best' but, I'm as well looking forward to the more developed and improved versions of smartphones of this sort which for me is the perfect phone that best suits my personal preferences. That's the essence of individual preferences, what's best for others may not be the best for some and what's not the best for others may be the best and perfect one for some. Anyway, we have our own views and I,and will, always respect that. :)

User use High end android definitely no issue on purchasing iPhone as iPhone is much cheaper here as market value is striking now.
iPhone? even food court cleaner can afford it and plenty of second hand in shop sleeping there, no people want.

Gavin_Is_A_Man, 15 Aug 2012Good man. That's the attitude I'm trying to take. It's pure... moreU do get options to write anthing u want however first use apple and then discuss...bullshit go to all the repairs centre and check the stats of which one gets crashed easily, you ll find apple the last one as it hardly gives any probelsm, example most of the people around me were using different handset and are switching to apple....as me and my friends are using apple since last 4 years and trust me not a single issue with the handset yet....on any of the phones....so get ur stats right for ur own benefit...and yes since u have not used it or may be cant afford it, whatsoever you feel not know the experience...

AnonD-59886, 15 Aug 2012My friend, android rules now and will for the next few year... moreI'm afraid that for Apple to reach the top it needs more than just produce low-end smartphones.
Proof?: 3GS is still being sold!
Apple needs to license iOS to OEMs and that will never happen.
Proof?: MAC OS / OS X.

AnonD-9718, 15 Aug 2012Nokia's symbian smartphone is a dumbphone for those who can... moreTouch screen handsets offer a better multi media experiance. Larger screen for viewing anything you like, larger keypad for dialing and typing, better internet browsing experience... People do prefer the older candy bar style handsets, but people need to keep an open mind and learn new handsets to get the full potential to meet their needs. Also, wifi gives a better experience browser, why settle for second best...

Nokia's symbian smartphone is a dumbphone for those who can't use it well or don't know how to use it well. : ) Most(not all) of the other popular phones can't get into the level of Nokia's C5-00.2. That is if you really know how to use the same to its full limits. For instance, who needs a wifi if I can browse the Internet for free anywhere(even without the wifi zone) and anytime I want using my smartphone? Somebody will say it's slow. But the thing is, the speed is just satisfactory,but not bad or poor compared to some, for users like me. 32gb microsd card capacity is ok for me,though some may say the other brand has the more capacity. You get what I mean.One more thing, touchscreen phones don't really impress me. Plain and Simple but useful and convenient standard keypad candybar smartphones are way better than touchscreen phones. I'm not sure if we can still use the classic standard keypads in the future. Just giving my own personal insights.

DAN13L, 14 Aug 2012Apple doesn't suck, They are just overpriced and overrated. Good man. That's the attitude I'm trying to take. It's purely because Apple users are unbelievably snobby and rude about their products and feel that owning one somehow makes the special, and then when their phones break (far more quickly than Android) they feel let down because there is conveniently only a 12 month warranty, half of what nearly everyone else offers. I also despise Apple's philosophy: purchase someone else's innovation and sue anyone else who uses anything like it.
