The 63 million smartphones sold is highly misleading. Samsung sold 41 million low end (cheap) smartphones and 22 million high-end (Galaxy Note 2/GS3) smartphones for the year. All iphones are high end phones.Oh and while you're partying remember the Iphone 4s outsold the GS3 worldwide in both the third and fourth quarter. Therefore, my point still stands Samsung's market share is shrinking.... So much for my arguments carrying zero weight, eh.

Furthermore, Samsung spent $12 billion on ads for this. I'd like your take on Samsung's BLATANT COPYING of passbook. Where's the innovation?

CRY on a GS3 bath towel.
