              So, cheap design and marginal build quality, combined with inflated, irrelevant specs and buckets of useless "features" outsells good design and quality in the emerging markets and among the sweaty palms crowd?

              Who would have guessed?

                        The two words that get along with Samsung are freedom and options. However they're two things Samsung needs to reconsider IMO. The design of their phones and the skin of the Touchwiz. Yes apple repeated the same design of their phones and ios for many years and got away with it (and i wonder how), but times have changed and i think Samsung needs to freshen up both categories.
