There are 2 major biggest handset maker among the top 5 vendors, Samsung and LG. they are both from South Korea…a small Asian country. – even smaller than NY state –
i’m very impressed by their performance in global handset market, so innovative, well designed… no doubt that they are global top
They have large percentage of global market share,o well, still behind on Nokia though.
both Samsung and LG are keep launching new models and even gaining large market share in 3G market in Europe as well.

Samsung is one of major brand from Korea but it does not represent Korea. I like Samsung’s customer supporting that respond customers’ questions in one day with fluent informatio with kind tone. However, Samsung is just electronic maker and I can use any kind of brands that can provide better quality, kindness, and price. I don’t mind use Sony, Motorolla, or iPhone… I think that Samsung needs to try be a global company instead of Korea domestic company. Samsung has several factories in America, Europe, and China as well as Korea. For example, Samsung operate memory factory in Texas.

Is this article revival of CES? It already two months had passed. CES was on Jan, and it is Feb. There were several mobile show and exhibitions after CES. Mobile Trend and fashion are changed very quickly. One month ago’s story is no more news for users.

Here is some proof ..

Imagine if the USA didnt invent the Rechargeable battery that nice cell phone you have in Korea would be a nice corded Rotary Phone.
And if we didnt pioneer the telephone
it might even be a nice Morse Code Telegraph.
When it comes to Inovation and Technology of the World ,The United States will always be the TOP DOG.

I am from Korea and it was nice article. I think that Korean companies may need to increase their entertainment and product Development for their fans. So I used to use Nokia mobile with economic deal in the U.S. I tried to buy Samsung but it was a little bit expensive. Now I am using Samsung Anycall and I am satisfied with my gadget. I want to try expensive Nokia and some Japanese Phones. Moto is not attractive too much to me.

So this is my experience for Samsung, Anycall. It was a little bit expensive. It was around 600-700 USD but Somebody gave it to me as present. I am satisfied with its quality, design and functions compare to my previous Nokia phone. Of course I have some dissatisfaction and I want to use more expensive and better mobile phone. I can take photos, music, games, and do multimedia things. In addition, I can record phone call with it, so I could got evidence for my law problem. I’ve talked with my enemy and he accidentally said his things. Needlessly to say, Camera is one of good tool for my car accident.

Well, anyway, I want to change my phone LG Prada Phone because it is expensive fashionable phone. I wish somebody give this phone to me as my present, but I don’t think that it will be happen to me.

Go to South Korea…check out the cell phones…feel free to change your opinion once you’ve had that experience. Korean innovation takes a much different approach than US or European innovation.

Why do US auto makers market smaller, compact and efficient vehicles in places like Japan? Do you think the Japanese downplay American auto manufacturers because they ‘copy’ Japanese innovation, design concepts and philosophy?

BTW, every MOT phone I had was, hands down, a POS.

I am not suprised if Samsung and LG who do not have anything to show at CES. Most of their cellphone products are COPIED from their competitors like Nokia or Moto. I don’t like Apple but i do admire their innovation. Samsung and LG are just not Apple, Nokia, or Moto.
