    Interesting. I'd like to see the figures though, as I bet they are not too far ahead of its previous best seller.

    I put my SGS2 next to and SGS3, and realised that the screen (while beautiful), isn't as much of an advancement that I thought it would be. The Retina beats it for detail, but I suppose that's because of the screen size difference.

                Samsung phones are far superior to apple do not get me wrong the outside of iphone is ok. But it is electronic not a rock. Apple will eat there patent laws soon.

I will explain you why. Samsung clearly did a lot of efforts to bring the mobile technology where it is now, so it's no problem that somebody gives money on their product. Buying a iphone it's like buying a vertu, it's no technology just some stupid people having the same shit of argument:'' cheap plastic, cheap plastic'', just like the turkey, make a sound and the turkey will start to make a sound too.I see no problem in buying a rolls royce where a lot of people invested time and thinking, or a ferrari, but buying a vertu or an iphone is something very bad as long as on the planet the people are starving and you have thi argument:'' why buy timex when we have money for rolex''!!! Go to hell!

                      It`s not about the specs or innovation of the phone.
                      It`s about advertising and celebirty.

                      I see iPhone news on CNN, dude.!

                              And yet Apple is competing. This is a huge embarrassment for Samsung!!!

                                Remember, this is GSM Arena.

                                People here just do not accept positive Apple or iPhone news. No matter how much evidence is presented to them.
