Samsung, because i consider myself a power user, and that is incompatible with Samsung.
I bet they are nice phones to pick up from the box and just use until you retire them, but they´re not for me.
(Yes i HAVE owned one in case you wonder)

Not on the list, but Motorola. I ended up stuck with a V50 for a year (on contract and couldn't upgrade / quit the contract without it costing me a fortune) and hated everything about the phone. Bad voice clarity, useless features and an awful menu navigation system.

They might have improved somewhat by now put that particular phone put me off Motorola in a big way

That would have to be Samsung. Their phones have the least functionality in that grouping.

@ Pradika, the question is which phone manufacturer would you least likely buy.You mentioned a good thing about Nokia's physique. For me I would say the Siemens ,not interestf in their phones because they quality , not far behind is the poor Samsung that is highly-overated on the market with their featureless phones.

I have used both Siemens & Samsung, and will consider the former before looking at either Samsung or Nokia. Functionality & feature wise, I consider SE, Moto & Siemens in the same class.

I would be most unlikely to spend good money in purchasing a Neonode. I dont think samsung is bad, they are quite good on build quality, mostly their phone software is rather unevolved. I like te phones coming down the chute, the WM phone looks very interesting, and i wont be surprised i find myself purchasing one.

Samsung's build quality is okay, but most of their phones seem targeted at non-business, non-power users. Meaning they exclude people like me from their prospects. Most other brands have something for this segment. Not Samsung.
