    hey,

    i tought that samsung was great, but this is not the way to work i think, i think they can best beat the other big companies by create new things for there own, and take a patent on that, but now they use the hard work of other developers, and like this everyone will have the same stuff in there phones, where's the competition in that? there is none, telecom is going to be very boring for us salesmen if that would happen, what can we say if every phone would be the same? there wouldn't be any competition left, and the competition makes it so much fun to work in telecom.

      Well when you talk to inventive companies in the telecom business that's not the picture you get. Samsung is regarded as a company you don't show new technology unless you want it duplicated, incorported in new Samsung products and en up not getting paid.

              nokia seems to be in a sore mood obviously due to their poor Q3 earnings.. .. .......

              and also Owing to the fact that in such a small time period of 2yrs apple have eaten into the market share with a whopping 15% !!

                        samsung can easily recover its investmant easily coz they have excellent marketing strategy in which they can easily sell their products everywhere in the world..Unlike apple and motorola their marketing sucks especially with their new products, full of delays worldwide
