Samsung hammers Apple as smartphone market grows

I really like Apple as a company and a business model, to be honest. I also admire Steve Jobs, but when it comes to my personal needs - well, I always choose Samsung and I have no explanation why.

I was pretty late to the smart phone revolution, and have never been a mobile fan, and could see little point of trying to access the internet on a phone, read email etc. As a techie, I dunno why but I was complete mobile technophobe

How wrong was I... We got some iphones on a company contract 3 years ago, and I've never looked back. I genuinely have no idea how I survived without one! I can literally run the office from the phone if I needed to, and I know Clive has when we've done trade shows. Then watching our traffic explode on our mobile site just reinforced the point I was talking cobblers.

But I've always been an iPod fan, so having this on my phone is an added bonus, and I like the fact I've still got the same phone, nothing wrong with it (other than being with Vodafone and no signal in my street!).

People that have the Samsung seem to rave about them and I guess they perform exactly the same job (or better), but in a world where technology changes every minute, it is nice to have something familiar and I know inside out! I used to hate getting a new phone every year and trying to work it out
