I'm hoping that Nokia will get some traction in the market for diversity's sake.

I don't like the situation that have developed the last year when you basically have just two major players (Apple/Samsung).
 
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 🙂

While I agree, the competition was very weak last year from anyone that wasn't Samsung, or Apple.
