They called it the black box, dual screen OLED from both sides but because apple is a gigantic companey they realsed their iphone one month earlier and they made it much more better than the black box now semiens-benq is RIP.

              the mobile world will tremble, IOS and android will fall on its knees....and Nokia will reign supreme once again...

                IOS is a good OS but because of its limitation and depedency to itunes, android makes the IOS suck eggs....
                i just hope other mobile os develops more so there will more options fur us customers..(like symbian and bada)

                    I think that Symbian should have been included in this comparison as well as WebOS. Symbian will still be a major player in the global market for a year or two at least. WebOS is trying to gain market share just like Windows Phone. I'm sure many readers will want to know how these platforms are doing as well.

                          What a stupid comparison, you shouldn't even put WP7 on that chart, WP7 does not even have a yr in existence.

                            Looks like an Epic Fail in the making for Nokia. Of course they could still get it on the Android bandwag. Nothing stopping them from making Windows and Android phones. Unless of course their pride gets in the way.

                              It's just a matter of time. Android's gonna kill iPhone. Value for money = Android. iPhone is just too overpriced. Nothing but a fashion statement.

                                      Apple is the leader still, thats the only thing i care about. bla bla bla to everything else. Apple has only been in "mobile phone" business for less than 5 years and their leading in app market whereas other mobile manufacturers just follow.

                                      It makes me lol when i think before iphone = every mobile manufacturer was fighter over the "megapixel race/ best camera" game

                                      When iphone came in, apple just did its thing, popularise touch screen (usable ones), popularise (not invented) app/ appstore and make it east to install and use = apple dont care if they lose one day app numbers ----by that time they have already evolved into something else.

                                        Personally I think it makes no sense having all these apps in a store as if am gonna sit go through them all I only ever fully use about 6 apps.
