At some point some vendor besides Apple or Samsung will make money selling smartphones… right?

It is quite impressive to see what Samsung has done over the last 3 years it will also be interesting to see if Apple can keep pace. I personally don't think they can I think another vender will pick up part of Apples lost share. I doubt it will be HTC and Motorola has shown no forward movement in the last 18 months. All their new phones look like their old phones? What gives Moto?

Nokia has great hardware but keep insisting on one or two carrier release so that wont work?

Maybe zte?

I'm betting on Blu or Maxwest, ZTE would be a good guess also. It will be a lessor known brand that I think will take up the slack.
