Break, not brake.
Brakes are what stop things. Break is when something is made incomplete

You clearly have no understanding of plastics. Just because its plastic doesn't mean its cheap. Some plastics cost more then glass or metal and are stronger then both. This is why the iPhone smashes when dropped its hard and ridged there is little to no give in its design where as some plastics (not all) are harder stronger yet have a little flex and give in them so the energy from. impact is directed around the phone not directly into it. They are using design to make their phones but unlike Apple they don't choose design over function.

IMO the samsung galaxy nexus was one of the best designed of 2011.

Lets be honest, there is only so much design work you can do when you want to make the worlds most powerful, thinnest and lightest smartphone going.

I dunno, I think the Lumia series and the N9 made everything else look like last year's leftovers, excepting perhaps the new Sony stuff off the top of my head. Motorola Droid Razr looks better than the Galaxy line, feels better too. Nothing against Samsung, mind you, just that they're starting to be the Corvette of the phone industry. Plastic, looks mostly the same as its predecessors with some bigger design features and more power "under the hood"

I completely agree with this statement even though I only read the first line. The Lumia series is absolutely stunning. If I could get Samsung quality phones in a Lumia package, my life would be good.

Please, Apple claims to be so "innovative" when it comes to design but the look of most of what Jonathan Ive has "designed" was copied from Dieter Rams. Google his name and you will see how much of a blatant rip-off it is..Sorry, try again.

thanks, I've been trying to remember his name. There's another German designer from the same period who had some minimalist design apple has blatantly stolen, I'll see if I can find a link

It's no wonder apple hasn't had any updated designs, they ran out of ones to steal...

Before you go around saying so things like that you might want to check your facts. Samsung displayed a prototype of the F800 months before Apple ever showed off their so called innovation. The F800 is a rectangle design with a touch screen taking up most of the real estate on the front of the phone with a button in the middle of the bottom. If you also look at the OS outlay it has a grid of icons similar to what i OS ended up looking like.
