    I never said I am right or wrong. This is in answer to the post.
    You dont need to tell me that not everone is goind to buy an iphone or anyone proudcts, I know that.

    I stand by what I have said: Most companies like to be Apple. Why do you think as soon as new phone come out first thing review do is compare to iphone?

    If it was possible Samung / htc rater release one or two phones per year than so many. Only Apple can do this and still make more money than both companies.

    Also why do you think Mac and ipad selles are high?

    Most people need simple devices and Apple is providing them.

    You are still trying to say you are right in your very reply, MOST companies do not want to be Apple , I DON'T THINK that most phones are compared to an iphone, the problem is you think something and then assume everybody else is thinking the same lines, accept they are not thinking like that.
    People have responded to your posts and rather than come back with your own viewpoint, you run off to google to search for an answer to suit your thoughts, come on grow up :o

    We can all look out of our windows for current weather in our locality, but what about elsewhere or tomorrow? ;)

    Try going to any mobile shop asking for non-iphone. First thing sales person will say is "This phone is like iphone, you can do this and that"

    Also try looking for a smart phone and nearly all are compared to iphone.

    If it was possible Samsung rather release the proft numbers similar to Apple than current numbers:

    Samsung:
    "The quarterly results that Samsung released Friday—a 23% drop in profit"

    Apple
    "54 percent increase in profit and a 39 percent jump in revenue"

    factitious comment due to it not being the end of the world if a weather app doesn't work :D

    I don't have to go anywhere to try anything, the 1st thing the sales person says, is not as you suggest!

    Put it like this, I don't have an iphone, you tell me what your handset does that mine cannot do (or anybody else's)? Yesterday you were harping on about cameras on handsets, people were kind enough to post pics from their devices and all of a sudden you went quiet, why not post some from your own device (not look up pics on the web for them), you started off the thread which handset to go for, and when folk did not agree with you to go for the iphone, you started searching for reasons why you should stick with the apple, why is it you seem to have some inferiority complex about your personal possesions? :o

    Not sure what 'factitious' means, however I agree it not being the end of the world, but then the features announced are not the beginning of the world either ;)

    If apple is still having an increase in profit despite less units sold, that might means that their profit margin is pretty huge!!! One is paying a whole lot more than they should just to be seen using an iphone.... if you dun have an iphone, you dun have an iphone.....

    btw, the moment iPhone 4s was released, it was compare to SGS2 and the new HTC.... that is just what the review market do, they compare phones!!!! you think they will compare a HTC wildfire to iphone or they compare it to say, a SE xperia mini?

    On the issue of salesperson, I think it all comes down to their commission no? if they managed to sell an iphone they might be paid more? On the other hand, if they managed to sell a HTC wildfire, simply by telling their customer (who can't afford an iphone), look, this phone can do what iPhone does at a fraction of the price.... guess what, sales done, commission taken. Both are happy parties :D

    Just as vacumn cleaners are called a Hoover .

    If it was possible Samsung rather release the proft numbers similar to Apple than current numbers:

    Apple few products big profit margins .
    Samsung a massive number of electrical products .



    What are you trying to prove that you bought the right phone for your needs even if it was at a high price . Now you have bought this expensive phone you are justifying your purchase by quoting Google all over the shop .Honestly you sound like a twelve year old know it all .
    You asked a legitimate question in post one but are now trying to turn the thread into my purchase is best posts and here are all the reasons why even if they are not factual .Pointless to continue as a comparison thread as its full of untruths and anti Android in particular quotes .If i was in the market for a new phone the smug and often false comments would put me of joining your Apple bandwagon .I want a phone to do xyz not to be a status symbol that i can brag about all over town .
