    When it comes to phones, I've been a Nokia user for years already. I prefer their ease of use and style actually. But now I want a Samsung Galaxy S4. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 which I got free when hubby got his S3. It's not that we want the brand but the specs. We always end up choosing something because of specs and at the moment, Samsung is the one which has the best.

    Not when it comes to gadgets because I don't buy many gadgets. With other items like clothes, kitchen equipment and electronic goods etc I am brand conscious. I tend to stick to brands I trust for quality and value.

    Yes, I'd say I am quite a bit! Many times it's not because I think other brands are bad or have sub quality products, it's a matter of already knowing a certain brand and what is it capable of. I usually prefer Asus for instance, when I need a new laptop or a motherboard for my desktop, I just know they have quality products. Same goes with Sony and my mobile phones.

    I don't think so, but someone who looks at me might say different. Shirts and pants and such, I don't have a brand, I don't think I could name what I've wearing right now.

    I do have a tendency to buy Converse a lot though.

    When it comes to gadgets, Samsung is on top of my list. The price is definitely worth it. If not Samsung, I will go for Apple and that too if I cant find anything in Samsung. I am not an Apple fan though. I dont like my things half bitten lol

    I'm fine with unknown or brandless gadgets, just as long as they come with a reliable guarantee. Slaving to brands is pretty stupid, in my opinion, since a lot of the time you're paying a hefty portion of the price only for that - a brand name. I brand anyone who buys Apple as a complete idiot, like it or not.

    I tend to look for some especial brands first, when i am looking for gadgets. But of course when i can find cheaper and at the same quality, i go with other one. I also tend to go away from Apple products.
