"Who cares if Samsung" made a pale and horrid replica of what "Apple" is buying screens from them for. Apple is probably one of Samsung's biggest clients. I think patents shouldn't exists but... there's no point in making a copy of something else if you can't improve it... and Samsung couldn't even make the device decent.

> and Samsung couldn't even make the device decent. That's your personal opinion, not the marketplace's opinion. Samsung smartphones are actually quite successful (they currently outsell the iPhone by a factor of ~2x according to latest financial results http://www.osnews.com/story/26228 http://www.osnews.com/story/26228).

  One thing I've learned from the Internet is that many people feel fine with citing their own opinion as fact. Especially when it comes to comparing electronic gizmos, college football teams and American trucks built between 1970 and 1990.

Selling well doesn't make any device decent, it only makes it popular. Getting decent reviews (which Samsung's current phones do get) supports the notion that the Samsung phones are decent.

    decent reviews is a small sample subset of reviewers. A better metric would be returns to the store and loyalty. Likewise sales is also capped by distribution and sales channels. Otherwise you could argue that the original iPhone was much more inferior to its competitors in 2007.
