Don't know how I missed this, but I totally disagree. My HTC owning friends have all gone to Samsung now. Motorola has nice build quality, but really, I dont see the difference. Its not a rock, why would you want it to be?
Why did they move to Samsung? Because HTC was lacking behind Samsung with the inbuild technology like GPU and CPU power for a period of time, and tech is more a deciding factor for most. But not for me when looking for a smartphone.
Your experiences with other Samsung products (made by other divisions) have nothing to do with their phones.
I personally try to avoid thin plastic or feelalikes for devices i use/hold in my hand on a daily basis. That's all. For something that i hold in my hands on a daily basis and carry around i rely on solid build quality if i have the choice.
Whe have lots of phonestores where you can demo the devices in your hands. So you can make your mind up before buying anything. This and researching the www. you can get a perfect impression about what you can expect. It's not necessary to own any phone to have a opinion about it's build quality.
Your friends phone has failed? Wow, I have lots of friends whose phones have failed. I also have a friend whose touch screen bit died after only a year on his HTC.
Maybe HTC bought their displays of samsung as they are not a display manufacturer..
So, really, I could claim exactly the same stuff, but I wouldn't, because to judge a product by one persons experience is pretty unfair. It sounds like you dont actually OWN or have owned a Samsung phone, so really your opinion is pretty much invalid.
No problem with my personal experience beeing invalid for others. Unfair? Why? That's life. Equally i could assume that you are biased towards Samsung because you spend money for their devices.
BTW, virtually all laptops hinges fail, thats what they do. I know this, I've had lots of laptops, and used to deploy them to my company. Maybe metal unibody ones might be better... but laptops only have a 2-3 year lifespan anyway.
But not after 2 months. Well that model was famous for this problem, not mentioning the wlan problems. Google it if ou have doubts. My older ASUS eee PC i own just works fine instead and never had a problem.
The features I was referring to were some of the best screens, sensitive touch screens (try some cheap brand Android phones and you will notice a big difference), and pretty much top of line hardware inside (cpu, gps, etc). I've had my Galaxy S for quite a while, never had a single issue with its hardware. My parents both have Nexus S's, absolutely no problems and they love them.
Technically they offer impressive value, never had doubts about that, even said that their screens rock. Like i said repeatedly a few pages back and repeated in this post, it's the build quality and quality control in general wich puts me of. Strange that it's so hard for you to accept
So, to put it in short, I absolutely disagree, and nothing you have said gives me the idea that you have really had enough experience with the devices to be able to judge them objectively.
There is nothing to judge, if i hold it in my hands and it feels kind of cheap and other devices feel better then that's it. Period. Just walk in any phone store and compare yourself. If it feels good enough for you and for other persons not, you can't do anything about it. People have different preferences.

So I will keep playing onlone with my screen and use my HMZ for singleplayer immerse stuff..
