So what if they copied Nokia. The overall product from samsung is stil better. YOu think iphone didn't copy features from the galaxy s3 also? Galaxy s3 trumps iphone anyday overall. Iphone is now on their way out. Apple had a good run but now it's time for a new leader in the smartphone biz.

IPhone expensive yes but Apple offer quality unlike Samsung. And for the samfan that mentioned that S3 has a lot of feature unlike iPhone let me explain you some feature that Samsung copied from Nokia! Yes Nokia
- Download apps wireless through PC through play store already out since 2008 on Nokia 5800 you can download apps through ovi store through PC I used to do it when I had 5800.
- make the phone silent by turning the phone already had it on my dated Nokia e66!

I'm not even a Nokia fan anymore but Samsung didn't invent something new and if you wonder how S3 faster than any Android phone don't forget that Samsung manufacture Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod chip set so they knows exactly what Apple product chip set architecture and use the same architecture with more powerful boost.

Iphone is damn expensive,, Samsung has got no style,, Nokia uses win OS which very complicated wen compared to Android... That's why i always prefer SONY, it has got CLASS,LOOKS,SPEED nd CHEAPER wen compared to other phones in the market...

> In reply to [deleted post]Popye dear, Iphones are expensive paper weights. If someone wants to buy a good phone go for Android like SIII, or Note. This crap called iphone is only a showpiece but good for nothing. Bluetooh doesnot works, need itunes to copy data, Itunes what a waste of time and money.

""Actually only those who either can't afford an iPhone or just extremely tasteless will go for a Samsung Galaxy S III. ""

go jump off a bridge! sgs3 is by far the best, most selling, most popular, most sought after, easiest of the UIs, fastest and the smartest mobile phone ever!!!!

what does 'LIEPHONE' has to offer? s**t and dull interface, multimedia messaging and bluetooth problems, limited menu features, pain in the behind syncing with 'LIETUNES' s**t.
way to sleep with that. whatever makes you comfortable to LIE yourself.

samsung galaxy s3 rules the mobile market GLOBAlLY!!!!!

> In reply to [deleted post]You do understand that both phones are relatively cheap when you get it on a term agreement right? Phones are actually cheaper these days than they were when I first started using them. People easily forget the days of 8xxx series Nokias and Sharp SX833. Phones are quite cheap these days and even elderly people can get iphones...

> In reply to [deleted post]Duh... Because performance, usability and price-to-feature ratio are irrelevant when it comes to phones. Instead, "taste" for religiously hyped iphones is what really matters.
