No not really. especially when you consider posts like.
I mean we all know Apple out sells everyone. It just reminds me of when a new MMO comes out and everyone immediately wants to shoot it down because it didn't sell more then WOW. Just because vanilla Ice Cream sells more than every other flavor doesn't mean it's better. It just means it sells better. Apple is the vanilla of smart phones. It's great, it's easy to use, and everyone knows what their getting when they buy one. That doesn't mean it's better.

In all seriousness, Samsung has built a very reputable and respected brand in the US and internationally, combine that with a novel product & good marketing and you have a success.
Does that not mean 5 million sold to retailers?

Apparently, the Note is amazing as a phone and a tablet. Samsung deserves its success.
Quoting Apple sales now, especially on the 3rd iteration of a popular product, is as relevant as when BlackBerry nerds and Windows Mobile enthusiasts were posting sales numbers of their devices in the early Apple days.

I think the distinction is in regards to sell-through to consumers.

That is only one phone Samsung makes.
Nokia sells more phones then anyone. I guess their phones are better.

Fuck that phone is beautiful. I jumped in at the GS2 launch. Hopefully they keep the line around in 2014 when my contract is up.

Android is currently outpacing monthly new device activations over iOS by a roughly 2:1 margin and that margin is increasing. Android has already won in phones.
I would still buy Apple stock though even though I own a Galaxy Nexus, their profit margins far and away outpace anybody making Android devices.

Point was, comparing the iPad 3's launch to the Galaxy Note's launch was pretty low. Now iPad 1 vs Galaxy Note would have made more sense, discounting that one can (kinda) be used as a phone versus the other can't be (again, kinda).
It takes time to build a brand, kind of like the Galaxy S2 outsold the first Galaxy out of the gate, and the GS3 has the mills buzzing more than the S2 ever did.
When did you get the Galaxy S2? 3 year contract?

If I could afford to actually stomach the 2-year contract prices, I would love to get this big ass beautiful phone.

I've had all the iPhone models and the iPad (1). The ipad is nice but I never brought it with me anywhere due to size/weight. Subsequently it never really got used much.
The iphone screen really is laughably small, especially considering it's more of a pocket computer than a phone. This ultimately became too much of a hindrance in my enjoyment of the device.
I was actually planning on buying the iphone 5, but then apple farted out the 4s so I had to look elsewhere..
After thinking long and hard about it, I decided to go for the Galaxy Note in november last year.
As of now it is my favorite gadget of all time. It really does everything I want, and it's always with me.

No, Android device activations are still lower than iOS device activations.

I have a galaxy s (first galaxy) and being an early adopter has embittered me a bit, with the problems associated with it. But the note is so fine, I just want a device with a really good stylus. The upcoming 'suite' update is sooooo appealing. The idea of handwriting recognition, and shape recognition for note writing... umph. It would be great for all those classes where I have to remember software dev diagrams.
Funnily enough I was just playing with a Galaxy Note at a Telus store today, while my friend was fighting one of his bills. It seemed speedy and functional but it's just way too big for me. I draw the line at anything over 5". Anyways, good on them for the sales. How does this compare to the Galaxy S2 sales?
Yes? It's a wacom stylus with pressure sensitivity.
37 million iPhones, not just the 4S. Not that it isn't still a huge number, but let's be fair.

37 million? WTF is that worldwide? Cause sure, I see a good number of iPhone 4's but nowhere even close to where I can believe that number. Boggles the mind

Oh lawdy!
Pressure sensitive?
It's a good thing Apple people wear turtlenecks. The tears won't need to fall far to an absorbant surface.
Time to sell one of my duplicate organs!
A blow to the face with that thing is enough to stun anyone.

My Galaxy is still going strong a couple years on so I might snag one of these instead of a phone upgrade and use it as a small tablet. It will no doubt be far more portable than my asus transformer and will offer alot more function than my regular Galaxy. Pretty hyped for June to arrive and my contract to be up.
Of course it's worldwide.
Because iPhone and iPad are really the only thing Apple sells in the market. Combine all of Samsung's phones and you'll be singing a different story.
And the Apple kids wonder why people shit up Apple sales threads :/
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
theres nothing wrong with a stylus. just needs to be acceptable to use as a regular touch screen.
