Samsung phones (Galaxy SII, etc) are now the most popular with Android as the most popular mobile OS. Goodbye Apple.

SAMSUNG ruled the mobile phone roost in Australia for the first time in the September quarter, nudging Apple into second place. The South Korean electronics giant dominated the sector that combines both smartphones and low-end feature phones, data compiled over the third quarter by research firm IDC Australia shows.

Apple is clinging on for dear life in the most popular smartphone category -- the iPhone 4 has been crowned Australia's best selling model but Samsung's Galaxy S II was nipping closely at its heels.

The iPhone maker is facing an all-out assault from Google as manufacturers rush to embrace the internet behemoth's Android mobile platform.

Like Apple's iOS operating environment, Google Android powers smartphones and tablet computers.

According to IDC market analyst Yee-Kuan Lau, Samsung overtook Apple to take pole position due to a strong demand for the relatively new Galaxy S II.

I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S II. I fucking love this phone.

They're fantastic. Just wait until Ice Cream Sandwich is released for it soon!

Does anyone else here have ICS yet? It's pretty damn slick, I must say.

The galaxy phones are nice, I'll admit, however, I still don't like OLED as it is right now and I am not a fan of the ever increasing size of screens. There's a point where size gets uncomfortable. I love my HTC desire's screen, both being LCD and not too big... and I've had too many quality issues with Samsung mobile products.

I never thought I'd hear someone say they don't like OLED.

I never thought I'd hear someone say they don't like OLED.

Well, my issue with OLED is color accuracy, pixel density, and Samsung's quality control. I love the idea behind OLED, and would love a high-quality OLED screen, but right now, it's not developed enough for me to get a phone with one. Call me back when they solve a few problems.

Depending on how you define pixel density (since it uses PenTile), the Galaxy Nexus has similar or higher pixel density when compared to the iPhone. And looking at it with the naked eye, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

I just haven't been impressed yet by PenTile.

Looking it up, I might be impressed by the Nexus. I've just had experience with the S and S II, but the Nexus has a better display than either. And it's just under the pixel density of the iPhone, so I'm down (like, 20 - 30 PPI less, which is negligible).
