Carphone Guy, 28 Oct 2011Of course Samsung have sold more phones than Apple. Still ... moreI agree. Samsung have flooded the market with their Galaxy phones and yet their profits have shrunk.

Samsung phones are for snobs who think their smartphones are the best. It's not. It's more like more of the same that's spread on more than 4 dozen devices. The Galaxy line is like the Asus EeePC. Both were watered down brands. And the Suoer AMOLED screens are way over rated with it's over saturated colors and short life span. It's susceptible to screen burn-ins causing the device price to fall down significantly on the second-hand market.

            Carphone Guy, 28 Oct 2011Of course Samsung have sold more phones than Apple. Still ... moreSold more smartphones. Meaning high end and low end( lowest end android is clocked at 600 mhz procesor same as iphone 3gs)

            So it beat apple at its own game. remains to be seen how tablets will sell. That is still apple's turf

              Still doesn't make them better.
              All this means is 60% of handset sales are cheap andriod phones.

                [deleted post]hmm - you're intelligent & mature aren't you?

                I do have an iphone yes.

                I also have a HTC legend, a blackberry bold & still have a samsung i900, i8510, p520 armani & even an old samsung i320 lying around.

                I use phones of all manufactuers & operating systems, because unlike the vast majority of rabid fandroids. I have the ability to make up my own mind on what phone I want & when.

                If, when my upgrade is due, the iphone 5 suits my needs better than whatever android phone is out does. Then that's what I'll choose. If another phone suits my needs/desires better then I'll go with that.

                It's called being able to make an informed choice on the matter. Unlike half the children on this forum

                                        an electronic manufactor company at his best.
                                        constantly improving technology for consumer and letting all others bitting the dust.
                                        and with diferent handset choice :)
                                        cannot say the same for apple kids who can only choose between black and white. lol
