        Compare it - 2:1, or in other words Nokia is 100% over Samsung. Convert it to millions people or devices or euro and it is FAR AWAY BEHIND. Simple fact.

                    When GSMArena told you that Nokia own biggest share in the phone market it is nothing but the true. You want to lie? I can't really understand you people. I can find you Nokia reviews where they don't like the phones. The never lied about a phone. Never.

                    When people didn't like that 5800 review, because of the negative results, GSMA became Nokia haters.

                    Really, do you read everything or just notice only Nokia articles?

                    I may not like Nokia, but they are number one on the market. I hope Samsung change that. And when other manufacturers offer similar support for their devices - then may be you realize the biggest picture.

                            Dear Samsung,please don't forget to launch next generation of innov8 n omnia,,of course with new hardware improvements! S60 isn't nokia only,but samsung n lg also developt this! Innov8 still the best s60 fone!

                              i see this news as contradictory... Samsung electronics posted huge record loss today.. the bright spot was they were able to gain market share in 2008 but ASPs were down & profits were hurt.. they sold 196M for this year and not 200..so the heading samsung sees a financially successfull 2008 is not reflecting samsung eletronics statement todya.

                                Samsung corepower : just my 2 cents..heheh
                                1.very2 simple but reliable software..(java based)
                                2.smartphone warehouse:samsung ever use palm n linux os (i250..etc),then samsung also choose winmo n symbian s60!
                                3.build quality! No one can beat samsung! Their low end fone feel like hi end at my hand! How their hi end? Superb!
                                4.design? Exclusive Luxurious like roll royce phantom!..but must have teenager spirits!
                                5.very experienced at touch ui
                                6.innovative n well managed corporation,one of the younger cell vendor but very2 fast improving their experience
                                7.wealthy n strong financial management

                                Cons:
                                1.need to improve battery life,but recent fone can catch nokia battery life
                                2.unpopular java software,.restricted java installation
                                3.need to cuts fone price

                                I'll buy new samsung hi end smartfone,,seems innov8 beats all nseries family,no doubt samsung very2 promising fone vendor! Go samsung!

                                    Top 3-yes,but the more important are the top 5.We should compare them all,not only the first three.Motorola will announce their Q4 results on 3 February.
