            come on the ios is years ahead and you comper with a samsung .the iphone 4 is better then a samsung. apple has 10 maybe more products and is the best samsung has millions of phones if it's better than an iphone 4 that's good step for samsung but look the q3 is just like an iphone the only thing that's missing is a logo of apple behind the phone

              sam, 07 Nov 2011one iphone against 10 models of samsung ,,, what can i say ... moreif you didn't know, money is the only purpose for these guys.. so comparing sells matters a lot, rather then trying to reason about how samsung sells more..

              but iphone 4s is just came out, i doubt samsung will stay on top for long, or at least when iphone 5 came..

                  cappotchino, 07 Nov 2011what i meant that selling more mobiles doesn't mean it's a ... morethis kind of debate is meaningless, the only way to find out for sure is to make everyone have the same amount of money then we can see what is their choice.. but even that won't be their true choice because the value of money is actually the one thing that compromised our choice, and that wont matter if everyone had the same amount of money..

                  so you can see it this way, there is this guy who actually can afford iphone, but on his second thought he prefer the cheaper ones because he can see how that one is better or maybe on par with the expensive ones.. so he choose functionality over exclusivity (or choose whatever words that you want) because that what he thought his money should be spent with..

                                i allready knew this would happen. i think the hardest competition will come from htc, yeah all old iphone device drop price but thats only for contract, the unlocked one doesn't dop significantly. nokia with wp7.5 maybe 2 or 3 years later when wp7.5 is more well developed than android wich i think its impossible coz its not open source so it will cost more to be developed than android...
                                that's just my opinion...
