Count me in that Sammy #. I have the Samsung Captivate Glide and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.  So far so good with Sammy. I'll never buy another Motorola phone for sure.  They suck and never update their Android phones like they have said they would.

I'm trying to decide if I should wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 or just buy a HTC One X. From what I hear, the S3 won't be out for another month.

I've got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Never been happier with a phone. They deserve the position.

With an 8.7% market share of all cell phones (not just smart phones), Apple has 75% of cell phone profits :o
Samsung’s gross margin is at just 12.9 percent overall while Apple’s gross margin is at a significantly higher 47.4 percent.
