lovehateapple, 04 Jan 2013This article just goes to show that Samsung fanboys are way... moreI don't want any apple phone or apple product for that matter. Take the iPhone for example. That's a very basic phone compared to Android. The Galaxy S series is far superior than any iPhone ever released. I like features. Features make possibilities endless. Being able to control your TV, cable box, air conditioner and so many devices is a huge plus compared to only being able to make calls, browse the Web and listen to music which is what iPhone gives you. As somebody said many years ago, the iPhone is just a phone, web browser and iPod in one.

      This article just goes to show that Samsung fanboys are way, way more curious of Apple products than anyone else. Look, they try to click on any Samsung product as much and as often as they can to make them number 1 on the ratings, but can't quite resist looking up the new iPhone 5 when it went out. Did you say Apple products are not popular? I am almost sure everyone wants one if given enough resources.

            I was so eagerly waiting for the review on Lumia 820 and 920, and wasn't disappointed when the reviews actually came out. Still, I think all my queries will be answered once I get both these sts in my hands. And the news and preview of Lumia 620 was like ICING ON THE CAKE

              Android was dominating in 2012, lets see if the stakes changes in 2013.

              With Sailfish, tizen and BB10 coming up to battle the smartphone share, lets hope the end user get benefit by the battle of smartphone os.

                    AnonD-46089, 03 Jan 2013Nokia... I've been your fan since 2004. Never wrote a revie... morei have three Samsung phones and they are s**t compared to Nokia. Sa,sung has started a slow but persistent fall down actually, and Nokia has just started rising. Cheap plastic is cheap plastic. If Nokia has android rival, that is only Sony.

                      Nokia... I've been your fan since 2004. Never wrote a review against you up to now! What happened to you! I can't digest as there is no place for you in this two (top ten of 2012) artices except for N808, a Symbian phone. Open your eyes atleast now. Produce Symbian phones along with Windows. People's taste differ. Some like Smbian, some like Windows...... Oh Nokia, I can go on giving you reasons like this! But what is the use! Even the Readers are getting bore of such reviews (Bring back Symbian) But no change in your attitude! You will Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer!
                      I know... Android fans will laugh at this futile review! You can laugh because you have got all the reasons to do so. Be happy with your Androids. I no more defend that Nokia is superior to SAMSUNG as I did all tese days. I respect SAMSUNG though I don't have any SAMSUG mobile!

                            That's so 2012. People, don't dwell in the past. 2013 comes.. WP8 and BB10 will gain more momentum. Android will hold its ground. Ooh. There will be an iPhone 5s during the 1st half, maybe an iPhone6 by the end of the year. And who knows, there might even be an iPad mini 1s or 2 and an iPad 5th gen. Bleh, that would be boring. Is that innovative? omg.

                                    The views clearly reflect real life interest. Most normal people i see carry iphones or samsung. Very few other mobiles are seen..

                                    Sorry i hardly see any wp8 phones. However nokia candybar phones still dominate the lower salary group and workers.

                                        lol the reason why the apple 5 vs s3 took more reviews because you compared that phone to samsung s3(the most popular phone) and everyone was too interested if that could beat the monster phone

                                        i thought you did not get that far if you just compared that phone to other flagship phones
