Review: I love Samsung. I totally agree with rdcollns' comments. Regardless of what they make, all the Samsung products I own are bug-free.

Review: Who says Samsung is not developing products in India? Samsung India Software oprations is right next to Motorola India in Bangalore and most of 3G work is done by Samsung India. Pricing has little to do with input cost.

Review: All of the above comments aside, you have to recognize Samsung for its quality. Bless them for not outsourcing. Every Samsung device I have owned is solid as a rock and bug free. Motorolla, Nokia, and LG can't come close to that claim.

Review: It was Siemens that pioneered the color phone and MP3 players in mobile phones. The first MP3 mobile phone was introduced by Siemens in the model SL 45 in 1999-2000. The first Slider phone was introduced by Siemens in 1998. The author is clearly misinformed of the facts. Samsung is a copy cat.

Review: We have true choice between cell phones these days. The Motorola Razr, and Samsung and the advertisements that are being poured in make one tickle to go for the Samsung or the Razr. It is the silver and black razor thin looks that attract the men.

Review: I agree. . . but, in the hightech industry, a fast second mover like Samsung can be a great innovator. MS also is not an innovator, if you define innovator as a pioneer also.

Review: Nokia had a "clamshell" mobile phone on the market very briefly in the analog 2G timeframe. . . probably before Motorola. The Toshiba-Samsung deal reminds me a little of the IBM-Microsoft deal when IBM did not really believe in the PC it had created. . .Microsoft was the big winner, because it kept the license on the OS. Samsung's mechanical engineering on its clamshell or slide phones relegated Motorola to pre-history at least for a while. Innovation is not simply related to patents, it's related to how you use them!

Review: Samsung is a killer innovator? I strongly disagree with that assertion. Samsung was quick to copy the clamshell design pioneered by Motorola and just recently it rolled out a slew of thin razr-like cellphones. In addition, Samsung can thank Toshiba for its success in the NAND flash memory chip market because Toshiba invented it first and decided to license the technology to Samsung. So who's the innovator again? To its credit, Samsung has been hiring thousands of graduates from engineering schools among elite Korean universities for years. So where is the next Walkman or iPod innovated by Samsung? Even in TVs, Samsung is no innovator. But with smart marketing and flashy designs, it created a false image of being an innovator when it should have been called out for its furious attempts to imitiate its competitors.
