    Was just wondering how common or rare this trait may be. I myself had owned a Captivate Glide for about 9 months prior to getting my Samsung computer, I think it must have had some kind of influence over my choices :)

    I used to (nexus s and galaxy nexus) but now that the current nexus is LG, I have that. I still have the Sammy phones in storage though.

    I had my hands on several Samsung notebooks before smartphones were ever invented. I've several Samsung phones of various ages in my collection but the phone I'm actually at present using is the HTC Desire V.

    I currently do own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but have owned previously other Samsung phones, as well as Motorola and LG. I prefer the build quality and signal strength of Motorola though... so once they get a Nexus or become more competitive in both processors and screens, I am jumping back to Motorola.

    Slightly deviating from the original thread title but I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to add to my collection. The 10" tablet sits nicely between a 4" smartphone and a 15" notebook.

    So far, I'm happy with it, partly because it's a refurb (but looks like new) and a good price because the UK ebay seller seems to have bought a box of them from Samsung USA (so cheaper than European prices). I can see why netbooks are disappearing (but they still fulfill a niche for people who have to run Windows).

    @hfm, how do you like the LG Nexus 4? I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and love it, but what is your experience with the LG?

    It's a great phone. Arguably the best sub 5" phone out right now. I've been an Android fan since day 1 of the G1 launch. G1, Nexus One, G2, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4. I've bought them all pretty much at launch (including spending way too much to import the GNex back in Nov 2011) and taking into account feelings toward the phones on day 1 experience I'd say it's the best one so far. Nothing is perfect, but I'd say it's the closest they've come so far.

    I own Galaxy S (i9000) for about ~2.5 years. Pretty happy with it, just lacks RAM.
