its always good to have competition
android pushed ios to evolve, as will wp7 push both.

a lot of people boast about the os they love, but think for a moment. would apple change ios so much if android, symbian touch and wp7 didnt came in?

i hope nokia wp7 will mess thing up for ios and android. not just because i like nokia and loosing nokia as a smartphone maker would be a very bad thing, but because healthy competition makes mobiles better for us, end users.

        For Haters and Lovers of iPhone to get maturity :

        I am fan of apple for sure but not a fanboy to apple or troll to other brands .

        Antennagate. (flaw for ip4 , well lets think iphone 4 has "best revolutionary antenna" then why would apple change it to dual-antenna in 4S ?)
        i accept it as a flaw and didnt buy ip4.

        iPhone 4S has 512 MB RAM and also useless to see same outdated design. So passing on ip4s.

        i have patience so i can wait.

        if brands copy each other........ who cares ? i am a consumer who gets the benefits.
        i dont work for apple or samsung whether samsung wins in court or gets loss its irrelevant to me.

        My Point is dont blindly buy everything without knowing.
        if u buy iphone 4 or 4s and say "OMG i dont have flash huh ?" because u didnt enquire well before u buy something so u freak out and realize u can't run flash.

        and another instance u say "who needs dual core when single core runs smooth ? this is the comment heard when galaxy s2 newly released and after that whats the answer NOW ? GUESS......
        answer : ohh well see 4S beats in benchmarks vs other phones bla bla and now u want dual core ? after saying single core is smooth"

              only in 7 countries....OMG
              gs2 sold 10 million in 6 month....all over the world..
              i can explain the reason behind it...
              apple is a well reputed rich company since earlier...so
              people have already known its fame and productivity..
              they wont have a further doubt to get this...
              but when we turn to galaxy s2..this device was a great challenge for samsung..they were making such a game changing device for first time unlike apple..
              at the time of selling(gs2) people were ignore of its quality..but gradually it took over apple in 6 month..now people have a good concept about galaxy S series..like iphone.

              JUST wait for SG3 ..and .people's reaction to get this when it release...will be much higher than iphone sold in even 3 or 4 days

                  first of all , samsung is pushing BADA a lot.

                  second of all , Sammy or HTC need to pay like $5 to $10 to microsoft for every android headset they make.

                  So i think sammy's future is either bada OS or windows 7. Just my opinion.

                  Motorola is going to be little more centristic for android.

WP is a weak OS, and they can't take back their position. Now Samsung is the future with HTC, and probably Sharp as well(if they will "attack" the global markets with their special smart phones).

                          It's a little big tragic in a way...
                          Because there's absolutely nothing innovative about it - and tech-wise it's a side-step if anything...
                          But realistically there are so many "average joe/jane" people out there who just want a simple phone that works...
                          And it's these people buying this in droves...
                          I've seen really old people with iphones, and people who you just wouldn't expect to own a "smartphone" - with an iphone...
                          Its middle-ground mass appeal is obviously hitting the spot...
                          Fair play to them...
                          But it's a little bit tragic...

                                      Good Day, hey people Many Samsung,HTC,SE models are FAR BETTER than ipone 4s, but unfortunately iphonemania is makin it' job. ipone is a good phone but Samsung,HTC,SE are the best and a year ahead from iphone 4s technology. americans tend to buy their own products thats why apple sels more, IF Koreans, Japanese and Taiwani people should buy their own production phones like Samsung,HTC,SE then iphone will die,

                                      SAMSUNG GALAXY S II ist the BEST SMARTPHONE OF 2011
