This is not an achievement for Samsuck. That happened because of Elop's stupid strategy. Nokia ruled the world since 14 years and they will do so.
The buble of Samsuck will explode soon.
Nokia Nokia Nokia , the best of best.. Please change your strategy and fire Elop, but don't forget, they are millions of fans behind you and we will support you till the last day in their lives.
Viva NOKIA.

Samsung has sold 93 M phones and nokia is 85M. But if u consider only smartphones, then the difference will be even bigger.

Great job Samsung.... new SMARTphone king, it's a deserved success; your line of android Galaxy smartphones are super impressive, but it's rather premature to dismiss Nokia's 14-year reign as a fluke. True, the Finnish company stuck too long with an unwanted and lethargic Symbian OS and made some of the most desirable high-end phones frustratingly ruined by outdated and clunky UIs, but not too many companies possess the same panache to, literally, come back from the dead as the famous Finn. Get it clear, Nokia will get its mojo back, but will it be good enough to reclaim it's lost crown? Time will tell

It is not Windows vs Android..it is Hardware war and samsung is leader in hardware..when nokia will produce quadcore with 2gb RAM and 5" screen..it will come to TOP..but nokia has to do this on fast track..in 2-3 months.

Where is the glory of 14years and Where is the glory of just 3months! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Symbian was the first Os for smartphones. Nokia won't kill Symbian! Wait till the end of 2013. Nokia will again be No 1 in the field of SmartPhone industry!

This is life. Nokia has a big climb infront of it. But dont forget, there was a day when no one cold dream of Nokia being knocked off, this is the same for Samsung. They will fall one day too. Just the way it goes, when its hot, its hot. I think the Nokia Windows thing is good because Android is still seen as a little bit too complicated and iOS is very entertaining, Windows is your simple fun, more straight forward but still cool - like Nokia.

Samsung have been doing good, I love their TVs,but their phones are so cheap on the outside, I didnt love my SGS2. Sorry.

is the mobile death wish . Their
very first strategic partner and launch
customer for Microsoft's first
smartphones, UK based Sendo was
driven to bankruptcy after lengthy
court cases with the Evil Empire.
Motorola went from profitable to loss-
making in its strategic partnership with
Microsoft smartphones. Motorola was
so disgusted it announced it would
discontinue smartphones on
Microsoft platforms which gained it a
lawsuit to boot. LG's strategic
partership with Microsoft bled the
company profits into losses and LG
ran to Android. HTC, Microsofts'
longest-serving smartphone partner
was so upset with Microsoft, it refused
to support the final version of
Windows Mobile and now strongly
prioritizes Android. If you don't know
the history of how devastating
Microsoft has been to its 'strategic
partners' in mobile, like the vampire,
its bled them dry. Read Horace
Dediu's review of In Memoriam:
Microsoft's previous strategic
partners .

Nokia will never ever die, It is sick for a period of time and they will conquer the world again . It is 14 years of glory and creativity. Not like three months.
Easy come easy go. Viva GREAT NOKIA forever.

And symbian is the father of all smartphones, it started the smartphone industry... I have been using a few android devices, like the Galaxy Spica, Vodafone 845, Galaxy Mini and the next phone im getting in a week is not an android, becouse its overrated... I will buy a Nokia 603, becouse its the most awesome thing for its pricetag..
