That is why you called apple product as crap. You should understand that apple in no. 4 place with only three phone in for year. That will give you some idea about apple product.

Wow in 4 years Apple already got 4% and using only one model? Hugely impressive.

Number set to grow now that they are breaking into China.

It's not that hard to make a better phone than Apples iJunk, but it's hard to compete with why Americans buy iPhone. One is because it's a American brand and second because most Americans are very easily manipulated or socially peer pressured into buying things.

Actually, considering the price/quality ratio, ZTE might be waaaaay better than Apple. Although I did have to look them up as I've never noticed them before. Not bad, actually.

Here at Mexico ZTE is introducing too many phones (many very interesting) but a very low price, I don't know but people are looking for better priced phone instead popular (expensive) ones..

V9+. Skate and Amigo are very good indeed and don't cost more than 200 dlls the tablets and 145 dlls the phones :P

This is why manufacturers like this one are growing....people like to keep and care they money...

The Quality of those phones are less when compared to Samsung and Apple. Its just another Chinese Brand in an affordable price tag.

Well, now we know about ZTE lol
Looked up some of their devices.. seems like they are just like LG, using old software.

LG released the first official duo core phone and 3D phone ... why they still lost 25% market share is obvious after their ICS news.
