aze: What do nokia expect? Open our eyes to the mediocrity they bestow on their customers in Africa's largest Telecoms market.

Nokia launched Nokia 103 here in 9ja. Launched advanced Asha phones 305, 311 etc in Pakistan and then right across our backyard, they launched 808 Pureview in South Africa. Are we dumb or what.

But you know what, Samsung launched SGS 3 right here in 9ja. They love us and know that we like the good things of life. Am glad for that recognition and HAPPY THAT NOKIA IS LOSING MARKET SHARE IN 9JA.

Android is better than those nokia craps.

for the bolded, i WILL buy a samsung s3 soon....

Phones being manufactured by China are not the problem! The problem is with sub-standard phones manufactured by anyone, which in this case will most likely be China since they manufacture most phones.

Like someone correctly pointed out, China "assembles" iPhones based on Apple's design and spec. Frankly, most of the parts that goes into phones are manufactured by other companies in Asia like Samsung, LG etc and they will make or sell you different grades of their product.

For example, if I want to build a GSM phone, I’ll have to find a manufacturer that sells a GSM transceiver. A quick look at China suppliers show that RF transceivers range between $2-8. Which one do you think someone that does not care about quality or safety will buy? The cheapest one!

My point is China will sell you whatever you want. If you want dirt cheap stuff, they get am plenti plenti but they can also manufacture a very high end quality product!
