Samsung has become a trusted, above average brand name, and with good reason -- in addition to phones, their BluRay players, refrigerators and cameras have been steadily gaining market share and reputations for affordable quality

WOW just WOW. Hi if apple didn't sue companies over genetic shapes, because those weren't used before.

Now you can still spot an iPhone its the one with the small screen.

I see, you want Foxconn employees to be jobless for some noble cause of yours.

I think it is currently a good brand. Hopefully they can keep it up.

mydala.com offers Day Deals are truly a give away of the day, as the deep discount and savings can be quite substantial.

And iPhones are for dumbass hipsters with no lives outside those who praise them for being just like everyone else.
Generalizations suck, don't they? Grow the f**k up.
