Nokia's loss was not surprising. The effed it up on the N97, they didn't polish Symbian in time and considering how Nokia is covering from the low-end phones to the high-ends, they have to lose a spot. Well, at least they're the largest phone manufacturer in the world. I can't wait to see how this will turn out in a months time for Apple and Samsung.

    admad, 05 Aug 2011Lol, company that makes "smartphones" that can't ... moreActually, a jailbroken iPhone can do as much as an Android device. You can apply tweaks here and there. You can change themes, set live wallpaper and other modifications. Sky's the limit. iOS is very powerful, even more powerful than Android. It's just that Apple's monopolistic policy hampered it.

                      I hate Samsung. They flooded the market with gazillion of the same Galaxy phones. All of their Galaxies have the same old used design, very cheap and ugly copy of the iPhone with no differentiating factors between them apart from the processor and screen. I can't stand looking at their phones. Their phones look like cheap chinese imitation of the iPhone. I bet those who use a Samsung Galaxy phone are ugly people with no absolutely no taste.

                          I thought all of this was known before, and I thought Samsung's gain was 400%, not 380%. Well, let's see how long Apple can remain at the top because it's sure as hell ain't easy maintaining that position.

                            Lol, company that makes "smartphones" that can't act as USB mass storage device, have proper browser (with flash), and can't even change ringtones, is the largest SMARTPHONE manufacturer? I don't wanna live on this planet anymore...

                                  If Samsung is at 380 growth rate, Apple, go sue them some more before it's too late.

                                      Apple is an American company, I am an American citizen and it goes without saying I support Apple 100% all the way. I don't support these far eastern companies who flood the market with their cheap immitations and wanabe iPhone's. I am so sick of the likes of Samsung, they seem to bring a new phone out nearly every week, just goes to show you how much thought and time goes in their products. Americans should back an American company, where's your patriotism?

                                        What's so surprising here is Nokia at no. 3. With all the doom and gloom news and considering most of their phones still run on Symbian, they're still at no. 3, higher than blackberry.
