Nokia stayed on top for 14 years. Samsung won't last there for even 2-3 years.

hahaha....
don't be jealous guys.
truth is truth.
peoples are buying Samsung because they are offering something better then others.
why Nokia leads in past 14 years because they are making some good and different devices.
but today market expecting some different then Nokia currently doing.
So Fact are Facts and truth is truth..
who make good devices will always lead.

I don't really mind the numbers as long as they build phones made to last the decades. its like buying Bmw's over Hyundai's, your buying a Bmw b'coz it is made to last. :)

Nokia is worthless i don't know how they were manage to be in the lead for all these years! The only explanation for that because most of companies didn't give too much thinking for cell phone market until 2005.
First Samsung punch for Nokia was Omnia i8910 which hurt Nokia so badly until today, and of course iPhone did also great job to reveal how outdated Nokia is.
I hope GSMarena be neutral and put Samsung on the top of the list now after this report.

AnonD-89381, 19 Dec 2012I just aware by reading this news that Nokia still make pho... moreNokia isn't just making phones, as others are doing. Nokia make good phones to. It's a difference!;). Your samyscrap makes 1 year maximum lasting garbage. I can hold to a Nokia 4 years then give it to my grandson and will still be a good phone;). So yes, Nokia still makes phones. To tell you the truth, i wonder how come samyscrap lasted this much with their garbage. But everything that goes up, must come down. Nokia is in the down period in smartphones market (only). Will come up again, cause Nokia means innovation while Samdung means copyallicanget in a plastic crapp;) and sell it to the herd cause that's the trend. Let's be serious. Every-time i go into a store i see kids asking their mothers to buy samdung (what do they know?) and adults looking at Nokia or icrap. Samdung is lucky with the kids from 10 to 20 years. Without kids samdung would have been in a hole of sh*t by now.

One going for OS don't have many options. Those who go for status face the same situation. While, those who prefer Android, have too many options. For high end android smartphone, same story. So, what Samsung achieved is good. I prefer HTC though. Apple is bound to loose the battle. Sadly, they had a great OS (back in 2008). Which they turned into a pretty bad one, by keeping it Apple exclusive, and not working on it.

It's a shame HTC isn't up there as their build quality is top notch.
