Mesmere, 08 Jan 2013What? Their major income in smartphone is from galaxy serie... moreWell if it wasn't for samsung them android wouldn't have existed today . May be they'd have lost somewhere like webOS. Android became popular just because google had it and samsung supported it and not because of its qualities , if that was the case the webOS was far better than android

Jovster, 08 Jan 2013Even Samsung, the only corporation making money off Android... moreLol Los*r the king of malware infested shit is Microsoft with window desktop os. you are funny. 4 Year that am on Android Never had any form of malware(Xperia X10, Nexus 1, Htc mytouch 4G and now S3). But all my home computer(window) are infested by virus. WP user and IOSuser Google is the new Microsoft deal with it and stop making false accusation you all look ugly Like WP.

Lies, lies, lies,,,, what is windows phone share.? If ur so happy give us numbers. Android and IOS are the way to go. In addition there are BB10 and Tizen, so windows has a loooong loooong way to go. Kept it up Gooogle,,,,, ur just the best and I would say RIP Nokia if it doesn't go to Android.... I just laugh when I read that Samsung is focusing on Tizen vs Google. Samsung is a multi platform OEM and this is normal to have all platforms available for consumers. Hopefully Nokia will learn and kicks stupid Elop out in Feb 2013.

boosook, 08 Jan 2013Because they cannot customize it, so they just stay there, ... moreNo oem's CAN modify wp8 for example all that nokia apps , pureview software , maps , music etc., but the problem is windows wont allow oem's to do cheap tweaks like they do with android. So that they can sell low quality products with petty big profit margin , but in case of a wp it requires them to give more premium hardware and software for lowest possible price in market which companies like sony(where so means so overpriced) hate to do.

Even Samsung, the only corporation making money off Android, are abandoning the Android train and moving towards WP8 and Tizen. It really shows how they know Android will not stop being malware infested shit.

AnonD-39337, 08 Jan 2013if windows8 is so promising, then why large companies like ... moreSamsung is measuring the water cautiously, it's waiting for google's next step i.e it wants to see what they are going to do with motorola, if google announce next flagship coming from motorola, then other OEM's will be left wanting, as they will need to do catch up with integrated performance that google-motorola phone will have, that's the reason samsung didn't completely ditched WP, and released couple of WP8 phones, and they are also planning Tizen to for worst case scenario, but with Tizen they will be little bound to use intel chips instead of their exynos, as Tizen is being developed in partnership with Intel, that's why they are also releasing phone with WP8, and if google announce their Motorola phone then, samsung will jump completely with WP and Tizen.......... And for Sony, they don't want to go for WP as it's having Xbox services integrated, which is direct competitor to it's Playstation, so they are trying to get more marketshare with Android, but if they also have to compete with google then, they will also looks for other options, and at that time WP could also be a possibility for them............ Anyways WP is very good platform, and I think this year it will mature into more complete package............you should use WP phone for atleast one month, then you will also start loving it........

Microsoft never lost a battle and in terms of security windows environment(winpone, win RT, win Apollo)are the safest environment on the market, built on top of nt kernel. For corporate business is the only solution today. For me android is the best for my needs but from business point of view I must admit, windows environment is the best.

AnonD-39337, 08 Jan 2013if windows8 is so promising, then why large companies like ... moreBecause Sony focus on Android, at least for now. They are doing very good now with Android and are looking to grow further to challenge Samsung. I believe they'll be successful at that.
If Sony somehow fail at Android, they will probably consider to start making WP smartphones.
Motorola is owned by Google so will never have a WP smartphone. Other (smaller) phone makers like LG, ZTE and Alcatel rely on Android because Android is currently the biggest OS, so these two can expect to make more money using Android.
(If WP popularity increases further (which will definitely happen), there will surely be more manufacturers with WP smartphones - but Nokia will always be the king of WP)
