        When you pay for apple , you pay for the name , there are many smartphones already launched which are beating iPhones.Wait till' you see the future phones , apple will go doowwwnn ... At the moment , people are not realising that they can buy many other phones at lower ( much lower ) prices that can do all that iPhones can do , even more.

        p.s. how can the "SMARTEST PHONE IN THE WORLD" cannot have bluetooth with other phones =DD ??

        p.s.(2) I don't care if I have thousands of pretty coloured applications =))))

          Anonymous, 07 Jul 2011Samsung rules!Strange how people can just hate on Apple and hurl insults upon insults, yet know nothing about their own idolized company.

          Wonder how many people are aware of Lee Kun Hee, Samsung's Chairman. He was accused of setting up a fund to bribe judges, politicians, and prosecutors in South Korea. He was then quoted by reporters as saying "I am responsible for everything" and admitted responsibility.

          On top of that, he was then guilty on charges of financial wrongdoing and tax evasion. That's your noble billionaire for you, worth 7.4 billion USD, and still don't wanna pay taxes.

          What happened to him now? Shhhhh, they gave him 3 years jail, which was suspended so he didn't have to go to prison. And last year, sweet, he just announces his return to Samsung as Chairman, just like that.

          Lastly he keeps going on and on how they always choose the best talented people. So who are the talented people he hires? His children, of course. His last daughter, committed suicide because he didn't allow her to marry her boyfriend. He didn't even attend her funeral. Wow, great guy.

          You can insult and bash Apple all you want, but Samsung fans, to act so righteous, and to pretend that your idolized company is surrounded by angels is misguided at best. Have some knowledge, and it would be better to be respectful, lest you start sounding like hypocrites.

            These giants are now like kids on a playground. One mistkenly hits another but apologizes; the other turns a deaf ear and hits back, then it's "war".

              Apple is Trendsetter and the iPhone and iPad is so much phenomenal. why?? manufacturers like samsung, LG,and the other manufacturers are all copying apple. look at the samsung and LG androids interfaces like the home menu, samsung galaxy tab design is so much like iPhone 3G and 3GS, the camera position and the back cases, then tab's outside frame which is for your hand grab spot. slide to unlock, and so many more. before the apple release the iPad, there's no tablet as popular right now, samsung hasn't making galaxy tab, blackberry too and so wth htc and the others, i know tablet is already exist before iPad, but not so much popular and hot as when iPad came out. while iPad released, then what? samsung, htc, lg, blackberry, HP making their own tablet too, imagine if there's no iPad before and now, there's no tablet as u seen right now. imagine if apple releasing a new product, maybe a timepieces with iOS features on it and can do a lot of stuff beyond as a timepiece, let's see,, samsung, htc, SE, LG, and the others gonna starting to make a same thing and same idea like apple.

              APPLE RULES!!!!

                            Yeah....it´s bussines for shure, and we also know who will pay for this kind of stinking bussiness. I´m so tired of all this "suingshit". Go and fight over it in a sand box instead, because that´s the level these big companies are playing at.

                                  The only people who hates Apple are the geeks online. If you think that we comprise the majority of consumers out there then you are sorely making a big mistake. The haters has been hating Apple since the early days of the iPod and the hating didn't stop Apple from getting record profits every quarter."

                                  Well said! and you are 100% right

                                        Calm down guys, Apple isn't the only one suing.

                                        1. Microsoft is suing Samsung for USD15 for every Android phone they sell. Microsoft also sued HTC for the same thing.
                                        2. Osram is suing Samsung on LED technology.
                                        3. Samsung is counter-suing Osram on the same.
                                        4. Dolby is currently suing RIM for patent infringement

                                        This is 4 that I got with a 2 second google search.

                                        Conclusion?

                                        1. Relax. Apple isn't the only one suing, so it's not some evil conspiracy.
                                        2. Samsung is suing other people too. Gasp!
                                        3. It's just business, everyone's trying to protect their patents, courts will decide or settle out of court. Yawn.
