This Changes Everything Again: Has Apple Really Revolutionised The Phone Market?

Seriously. I highly respect Apple as a company and of course I have owned fair few of there products, I mean come on, who hasn't ? But do they really deserve all the hype they receive? For example the weeks and weeks of rumours speculating what Apple's next big 'revolutionary' device will look like, not to mention the ridiculously long queues at there product launches and the cheers from the Apple employees when each customer walks through the iconic front doors of an Apple store to go buy there new product. 

Apple's iOS devices are probably there most popular products they sell, I have owned numerous iPhone's and yes that includes there latest iPhone 4s which stayed with me for a whole 4 days! Until I was bored...because I realised it was indeed an iPhone 4 with a very pretty shiny new 's' sign on the end. This however gave me a new perspective and showed me that I needed to move on from Apple because I had become Apple's bitch. So yeah I sold my iPhone for the respectable price of 425 Pounds (I seem to have no 'Pounds' sign on my keyboard) which isn't bad considering I only brought it for 450 Pounds. With this new surge of money injected into my bank account I started to looking into what my next handset will be and after a days of research, and I had found that change I was looking for...    

Suspension...I found this change from Samsung with there new powerhouse smartphone/tablet the Samsung Galaxy Note which feature a 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor which is all buried upon its monster size 5.3 Inch screen which is a 1280 x 800 HD Super AMOLED touch screen. I paid 450 Pounds for the Galaxy Note which to be honest I think I will be getting a lot more for my money then compared to the iPhone 4s. I realise at this point I haven't really answered the question, which was the main purpose of this post, so here you go:Has Apple Really Revolutionised The Phone Market? Yes...in 2007. I would like to see your opinions on the matter so please answer the poll.  

I will being doing a review of the Galaxy Note when it is delivered, also I will be doing a comparison of the Galaxy Note and a iPhone 4s, so keep posted and thanks for reading.
