Key factor for dominance of Samsung was android, Nokia failed miserably choosing outdated winmo, if they just really knew what to do, was quite a failure

          hi there all. yeah, i believe samsung is greater than any other mobile phones because they are not a just china phones LOL! samsung mobile phones are mostly korea and japan quality phones while nokia mobile phones gives a total shame ...because nokia mobile phones can just be imitate while samsung can't be a clone i lioke samsung music edition live loud because .. it has everything i need ... it has dual cam. and unique color red.black and i love f330's design and touchpad keys... i like also f330's reflective frame mirror-glass lcd i have f330 for no 1mont yet and it works good ...and for n95,n96,and n97 still the greater best samsung innov8!

            Gato, 28 Jan 2009I agree,nokia fans worried coz the fact is : samsung techno... moreIm not a "nokia fan", im just a realistic guy, i had phones from all manufacturers, while you obviously hadnt, and i can say from experience, nokia really gives the most. When you say N96 is ugly you are subjective, not objective, because you cant judge the book by its covers, like most samsung users do. Now you try using a nokia phone for a change and then tell me what you HONESTLY think. Now I know you'll say you had nokias but i dont think so, because you wouldnt say such absurd things that make no sense what so ever. And yeah nokia users are "really scared" because samsung managed to sell about what, 40-45% less phones than nokia in 2008, yeah that puts the fear right inside the heart!!! I'm just worried you'll never know how good nokia is when you use it.

              Anonymous, 28 Jan 2009of course it will happen, slowly but surely.I agree,nokia fans worried coz the fact is : samsung technology overtook nokia technology with their innov8 n omnia..n95 8gb was defeated n n96 just ugly crappy fone
              In recent crisis like this samsung prove that samsung still can get successfully profit n market share while nokia domination still affected by crisis,other vendor also suffered this..5800xm n n97 processor also similar with cheap tech n81,n85 etc,,poor finnish manufacture,
              Don't forget : android become popular with their alliance,from big vendor like htc samsung,se,lg until small like agora,ge etc!
              Just try ur 5800xm n u'll realize that s60v5 isn't great compared to winmo,iphone! Bugs n lags everywhere,old cpu etc..
              Watch out nokia

                                    i work for cell phone industry where its a network provider and repair center and the phone with the most amount of problems been brought back by customers for past few years is defenitly Samsumg...its manufactured the cheap way making it look nice and good but has the most faults.It is affordable as well but it has it pros and cons. Nokia has its downfall but not not as weak as sumsung.
