      I find this comment quite amusing.. "sheep" - "who continue to buy the exact same generic Galaxy phone that Samsung puts out" So get this.. The first iphone was released in 2007. Take a look at what it looked like then, and compare the very latest today.. people queue up by the million to by them.. NOW THOSE ARE SHEEP - ACTUALLY ZOMBIE WOULD BE A BETTER WORD.. so after 6 years (and counting) Apple still making the same boring generic phone – go figure

                              "LG was a star performer as global shipments doubled year-over-year to 12.1 million units in Q2 2013," Strategy Analytics analyst Linda Sui said in a statement. "LG captured 5 percent share and maintained its position as the world's third largest smartphone vendor for the second straight quarter. The popular Optimus and Nexus models have been the main drivers of LG's success.

And let him experience how 'premium' LG's build quality and let him know how LG treat their phones with slow and super buggy updates. He's gonna regret it someday and we'll laugh at him when the day comes.

They always done that but guest what? Nobody buy crappy Nokia anymore. There are in the other category now mega lol. According to the world mobile congress for the last two years Samsung make the best smartphone. Nokia time are over deal with it. Lumia 800, 820, 920, 925, 928, 700, 720, 520, 620, 1020 still counting don't forget all the asha devise. You don't know what you are talking about. Nokia are flooding the market has well. Nokia just doesn't sell anymore. The Galaxy S et note series are the best. Lg is not far from Samsung also. Nokia deserve to be in the other category.
