I put earlier about phone sales figures..Apple always publish sales figures and Samsung and Nokia but all the other companys dont..I would like to hear from these folk who say this the best smartfone yet there are no sales figures to back this up..

Anyhow i am more excited about Lumia 920 than any other device & probably if its good will sell iphone to get one...

      dear all
      your fighting and fighting and forgetting the struggle is between os : ios 6 and jelly bean ....it is a fight between the fluidity of ios6 and the laggyness of google project butter ..... it is the fight between the well organized closed system that apple use and the chaotic and open source that google use .......it is the fight between the quality of apps in ios 6 and jelly been and as far we know the quality of apps on ios is far better than android ..... who needs 2gb of ram on ios 6 ? the sg3 with his 2gb ram still laggy ........ who needs smart play smart stay if they break all the time .... the innovation is creating a flawless operating system with this beautiful design and let them work together....it is a matter of choice who wants to be a part of apple system than iphone 5 is the best phone made till now and who to be with google system chose a wide variety of androids phone ..but guess what? google doesn't have a system even in tablets they use phone apps and doesn't have operating system for laptops .....

        customisation? also rock bottom

        oh i forgot. I think apple once said:
        why do u need bluetooth for file sharing? it's like having unprotected orgy.
        and who needs wallpaper when you already get beautiful icons (which most of them stay the same for years)

        LOL

            File transfer and management is a nightmare in iphone or ipod. iTunes is good at syncing musics. But other file?

            I use my ipod for music, but when i sync new song to my ipod, i cannot transfer it to my galaxy tab or galaxy note via bluetooth. What a pity

                      will lee wanta, 16 Sep 2012apple uses expensive materials to build iPhone. That's why it is more expensive. So i think yo... morea little bit of metal does not explain the gap in price difference between lets say the iphone 5 and galaxy s 2. I say gs2 cs it has exactly the same spec with the iphone 5. Its not like u and i go to the store and buy the metal either, apple makes huge orders of the stuff so they can get it very cheap, and when u open the iphone u will see the same stuff as on a GS2 no doubt

                          Now a days Apple is not working on any new innovations but they r going to sue everyone. On it people are saying that:
                          Mr Been: The next thing, Apple will sue the apple tree because it makes a lot of Apples :))

                          Mr Be: Or maybe Apple will sue Newton because he used an apple to invent the theory of gravity!!!

                          A family: Yesterday morning we were having Apple in our breakfast.....and we got a letter from Apple ..:( they asked us to shift on to different fruit so we went for Pine Apple...for which they again contacted us today ,that the fruit should not have "Apple"....:D or they are goin to court...:D...how ridiculous is that...

                          Lolllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-P.

                                iCedie, 16 Sep 2012Whatever Galaxy S III advertising and endorsing.. Galaxy is still NOTHING!! hahahaha.. Quality... moreapple uses expensive materials to build iPhone. That's why it is more expensive. So i think you pay for build quality and design.

                                Samsung uses cheaper material for SGS3 but they incorporate more sophisticated internal organ. So you pay for spec, not design.

                                That's what i think.
                                So it's up to you. Do you want the look? or the spec?

                                    The above goes for LG any info on sales figures.

                                    Sony Ericsson what about sales figures?

                                    What about BlackBerry?

                                      AnonD-8044, 16 Sep 2012So true.gee... i have no such problem.
                                      i've been to samsung service center 2-3 times in 3 years and their service is good.

                                      But yes, apple has good quality products. I never go to their service center. My macbook white is 2.5 years old and never come to problem. Same thing happen to my ipod touch. Still works perfectly after more than 1 year.

                                      Problem is, iProducts are too expensive for most people. So they resort to more affordable products like Samsung. Even Sony is not as pricy as Apple.
