Gotta admit samsung makes some damn fine phones. Shame they disappointed me so much with the crappy GPS reception of the Galaxy S range of phones, but now that they have fixed those issues in their phones I'm happy to say my next phone will be a samsung again... I just wish they didn't make their phones look so much like iphones.

Of course android is going to outsell IOS, android is sold over so many different manufacturers and IOS is an apple only OS.
