AnonD-134497, 14 May 2013Totally agree with you Carol. No trolling but "more ch... moreApple only have one phone you either pay to have the one device or buy an older pre- owned device
Other OEM has the flagship phone and the "lesser phones", maybe my mum does not want to have the S IV, she can get a phone with the features she likes costing less
There are more than one bar of chocolate in Samsung pantry, or more than one galaxy in the universe.
So I am NOT OPPOSED TO CHOICE, as when you see whole family kitted out with an iphones, this is not choice, this is PROFIT,
If you think of all the android phones by all theOEM go towards the 74% and essentially just 3 phones from Apple account for 25% (4 X 18%) of all Android
sales
What this does not show is movement. I have seen so many adverts on-line I have a IP5 will swap for a BB Z10 or S IV, I am surprised at the volume of ads and its just one way traffic.
I like to buy the best premium phone when it come to my upgrade, I don't understand why someone say with a SGS III will want a S IV now. in 2014 whatever ophoe I get will be better a 2 yaers have passed

Why people like Android more than iOS and WP?
Ans: Because Android is open source. You can customize all you want. Of course people like their devices to be seen like how they want and Android so far succeed to give them their needs. Everything which has pros possess cons also. These too much open source devices bring with them a lot of problems after getting a lot of customizable stuff in it.
Open source means you are able to do what ever you want. Therefore, people do what ever they want with their Android including installation of those apps which are not even certified and are available on internet. What happened after it? Due to these apps, the Android version becomes unstable. Many times, these are virus like Malwares/Trojans so here you go, a new problem has borne. How am I saying this? I have seen over 40000 members on Android forums complaining about just installed this and that happened, what should I do? - you shouldn't do that - check this link - Install this firmware - I don't understand what to do - check this link - flashing - bloatware - what to do? - Hi, I have a problem - check this link - go here, go there.
These all I have seen so far in EVERY Android forums. Too much open source creates instability which is the common problem with Android. You mess with the genuine software, you'll get problems and this is what happening since day one. Don't know why Google allowed this.
On the other hand, MS and iOS are much stable due to being closed source. So, you are restricted at certain times to do things. This brings stability and long lasting joy of the genuine software. This is why iOS and WP kept their devices closed source so that people won't have to face problems with their devices and factory resets etc.
Like Android so far but these kind of problems made me lost the track but hey! this is just my opinion. I believe many people possess the same school of thoughts.
There is indeed no trolling but facts, if you want to troll. Punch on your face first.

Nokia is sti... more1. Microsoft is history? what os are you using on computer? android? it can be linux it can be iOS it can in most cases be Windows but havent heard anyone using android. Ohh... it's not there at all, so how microsoft becomes history when still they own PC market hands down?
2. Last thing I would see to happen is nokia following android bandwagon, they don't need to. that's beauty of variety. The day one gets fed up with android(which i am sure is going to happen to me soon), he might have option of WP, iOS etc. etc. the more the competition better is the product. Competition is required for the benefit of end user as this competition will make every platform work harder and produce more good stuff. Domination causes stagnation which is least required for us. Nokia should adopt MeeGo as their second option as N9 was wonderful device. Jolla is now keeping MeeGo alive, would like to see it again integrate back into nokia.

The source below says the report is based on worldwide. sales EXCEPT ASIA/PACIFIC ". That is why you see LG on top 4. But according to other sources which includes asia pacific, LG is part of the poor performer.

Haha, what kind of bubble / dream world are you living in?
I would get out of that bubble / dream world fast if i was you, because Apple have never invented anything after Steve Wozniak left Apple.
You could always see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFeC25BM9E0
Just to take a very good example. When Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, they claimed they had invented multi-touch. That's a pure lie. They stole the technology and tweaked it a little the Apples way and then later claimed it was their invention + they claimed they had patented it witch is pretty funny.
And by how you post, you seems to be very angry because you bought another phone and then realized that the Galaxy S4 was a much better phone than your crappy phone.
If that's not the case, then you don't know anything about the Galaxy S4 at all.
