Price fixing hurts the economy. Prices skyrocket and we, the consumer are made to suffer. I knew we were getting the short and of the stick, electronics are so overpriced, espessially processors (Pentium X for example). I wonder who else was in on this.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

My phone is a Samsung. I think the flash memory in my nano is Samsung too.

Weirdly enough, Samsung is still quite often the cheapest guy out there.

Eh, whatever. I love Samsung products. No matter how reprehensible their business practices are, they make some pretty damn awesome stuff. I've never been unhappy with any of their products.

Edit: Haha, Rambus. They sued SD for stealing some of their technology too, which ended up being kicked out of court. Rambus makes an inferior product and then cries about it. Whatever.

I've owned two mobile phones from Samsung (A800 and D500), with the D500 being my current one, and I've never had a problem with either of them.

No problems with Samsung here... agree with Jon'C when he says they make great products.
