Wait, actually, Motorola is going to stand by and let that happen.

Maybe Samsung is being aggressive, but that just means HTC will be working just as hard to combat this goal. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/It is very plasticy that's a shame coming from Samsung that usually got good build quality.
Updating the software is the BIG ? from Samsung. Samsung is by far the worst compared to Apple, Nokia, HTC.

What is so wrong with regular Android that different manufacturers insist on adding their own skin on top of it? Sense, Motoblur (or Ninjablur? what the hell is that?), Touchwiz, etc, it just doesn't make any sense and only hurts the Android platform by perpetuating the fragmentation issues.]]>Jun 24th 2010 5:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/Jun 25th 2010 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/Jun 24th 2010 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/
Ahead MOTO?, no, never, not even HTC, samsung will have to be down these companies for a while]]>Jun 24th 2010 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/
Samsung competitive advantages:

Best Android proprietary screen tech
Best Android proprietary processor
Best Android proprietary processor road-map
Android OEM with the cheapest access to NAND

Putting together these advantages, plus the scaling ability of the 2nd largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world means they have a higher manufacturing ceiling than any Android OEM right now. They won't really capitalize on it until they raise their brand name/support on high-end devices while simultaneously cornering the middle part of Android (I'd actually say the low-end, however, it's their intention to fill this niche with Bada). ]]>Jun 24th 2010 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/Jun 24th 2010 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/

Todays high end phone specs are tomorrows low end so I can't see a reason Android can't cover the whole spectrum within a short time frame.]]>Jun 24th 2010 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/People are so out of touch of the whole phone market here.

Android represents under 0.3% of all phones sold and i can tell you that BY FAR most people in this planet don't care about widgets and stuff that MeeGo, Android, iphone and Symbian offers.

Samsung and Nokia together sell a bit over 2.3 million phones A DAY. These two companies just simply can't example put OS like Android for all of their 200-700 euros phones and call it a day.

The fact that Engadget is reluctant to call Bada a smartphone OS but has no qualms about calling iOS a smartphone OS, though iOS is basically there now, but they so rarely in the past ever displayed qualms about using the term at will over the past 2 years is just their usual double standard being employed here. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/
I hope it pays off in the next few months since I'm buying a(n unlocked, international version of) Galaxy S in the next month.

btw, my first Samsung was the Blackjack which I gave to my brother for the original iPhone.

To be fair to Samsung, the AMOLED screen on the Galaxy is probably its best feature. Not great in the sun, but in doors it beats almost any other phone I've seen.

Doesn't make up for them being asshats however.]]>Jun 24th 2010 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/samsung-plans-to-double-its-smartphone-share-by-end-of-year-jum/
