    geoffo # 1, with all due respect, the Samsung Android system is far better, what about the super AMOLED screen, far better as well. Not even touching on the possibilities like battery and memory change which IPhone seems to want to keep for itself. Now we are bickering about the appearance, which is fighting over car designs, they all have four wheels, windows etc. I some time ago was planning to buy this IPhone, but reading about all the court cases decided to have a closer look, lucky me, I spend far less for a far better phone because point by point Samsung was better and all IPhone users could say is, "but it feels better" BP ink up???

    Samsung's positions have been backed up by courts in " most" of those cases.

    Really ?? , 1BN USD fine by Apple and more coming.

    Something had to fuel Samsungs obsession to reach number one by volume. Design " plagiarism " was one strategy and lower quality to reduce prices was another.

    I think Ericsson will not be the last firm chasing patent infringements.
