True that CheeseBoy, Samsung S2 and S3 are the way to go. I upgraded from Blackberry S3 there is a huge difference i dont see myself touching that BB thing again,I can see RIM going with Nokia very soon, their applications are too proprietary.
Samsung's best cache was teaming up with Open source OS like Android that has dealt a big blow to Apple's iphones because there is a huge difference when it comes to the ready availability and costs of their applications.
Thats why you see Apple coming up with all those lawsuits against Samsung, fobiding the sale of S2 in Europe, its just a way of slowing down the sales of Samsung smartphones and buy time to sell their own.
I have both an I-pad and a Galaxy tab they all awesome but i must admit the I-pad is for bragging purposes it frustrates with the cost of its apps unless if you jailbreak it, but the Galaxy tab it goes an extra mile in doing the job without having to be routed. Report Abuse

Hahaha Kasikid, RIM posted a profit loss this year and a decline in their shares, they even had to delay OS10 for BlackBari, they also announced a staff layoff of close to 5000, they are doing bad boss in the cell market, Android is showing them flames, this is why they even plane to license the next OS to other cell menufacture like Google did with Android, the competition is tough for them.

In the world of mobile devices your platform determines how successful your company is going to be. Android rules and is killing companies one by one. First it was RIM makers of Blackberry, simply put RIM is a dying company and Blackberry is about to go extinct only people who don’t understand technology would buy a Blackberry or if your company does not offer options besides their crappy phones. Nokia is another company in serious trouble; I don’t see Windows saving them from bankruptcy.
Apple is another company fighting for its life, the iPod has been made redundant and iPad getting serious competition for Android phones. Their weakness is their system is too closed and rely on proprietary software. They too just committed suicide by ditching Google Maps in a case of cutting your nose to spite your face.
Samsung is simply too good for its competitors. I have an entry level phone but if you know how to pimp a phone you can take the simplest of phones and turn it into a super phone, I just love its Wifi capabilities, with a click of a button I can turn my phone into a mobile network. I hear Galaxy S3 has phone into a super-intelligent device I can’t wait to lay my hands on it.

My brother Blackberry is like a terminally ill patient, RIM's top executives resigned in droves as their phones did poorly on the market. Get yourself an Android device and look at its interface; how easy it is to use, graphics, ease to get apps you need, visit Google's Play Store and look at the range of apps. Normally I can get an app and install it within a minute and most are brilliant apps.
I don't use CDs in my car, 15GB of music played with pristine clarity plus amazing graphics. Like I said why get an iPod when I can download PowerAmp and get probably one of the best musical experiences complete with amazing graphics and controls.
You have to have experiences Android for you to understand just how far ahead Samsung is of Blackberry, the two are not even running the same race. Report Abuse
Android is showing them flames, this is why they even plane to license the next OS to other cell menufacture like Google did with Android, the competition is tough for them.
=================================================
Not even OS 10is going to save them.
People need to understand why Apple is fighting bitter court battles to ban Galaxy phones and tablets in important markets. Android is a company killer as we've explained but more importantly Apple knows Samsung threatens their very existence and Apple is the number 1 brand in the world.
iPod's are now redundant unless you have money to waste so that is one product taken out completely and now iPads and iPhones face serious competition.
