As much as I like Nokia, they don't stand a chance in the US anymore. Honestly I think every company that isn't Apple or Samsung are just going to mish mash at the botton of the pile for a bit. This isn't the year we'll see any major breakthroughs from anyone.
I love Sony's design and specs, they are modern with a little touch of old style. Build quality and call quality are simply the best. They are a bit overpriced though, but they deserve to be on the podium 🙂
