Really interesting to see Sony loosing market share, I wouldn't have thought that. I can see Nokia loosing market share, their phones just seem to be stuck in the early years of 2000. For every Nokia new phone there is a better alternative from else where - Shame as I think Nokia's build quality is very good.

Anyhow good news for Samsung, they do have good phones and simple ideas.

Sony havent had any good phones out for ages and had fallen far behind other manufacturers untill their recent Satio launch. K850i onwards was terrible for sony.

Samsung have been leading the market in terms of specification, and LG with damn nice fashion phones for a long time.

Last time I upgraded, the best options I had available were LG Arena and Samsung Pixon, Omnia HD and another high end 8 MP samsung phone, and I chose the LG which is a very nice all round phone.
