I've owned several Samsung phones. I like how long their batteries last, and how sturdy they are, but mine never really seemed very loud. =[ Always had to pump the dB on the actual ringtone files to hear them.
But, yes, Samsung and LG are two of the three brands that are making the Windows Phone 7 right now.
(LG Phone scroll down to see video; Samsung Phone scroll down to see video)Awesome!
I hope a lot of people will be excited for this! =] I'm glad to see that you are!
