    kanimahi, 16 Dec 2013the best OS is 5.0(lime pie) android compare with WP8.......how can u say that? android 5.0 hasnt even been released... did you go to the future and used it?

      AnonD-196285, 16 Dec 2013MS is the reason they survived to this day actually. Yes your right. With the huge bailout and then the 7billion dollar purchase of nokias mobile division ms did infact save the company from collapse. Nokias unwillingness to move away from symbian when everyone else was developing new os or joining to new os led them to their knees. A fact which showed them surrender their market share as world leaders owning way over 60% to something like less then 20% in a year. And continue to decline so much that they didnot even have a double figure % of the market at one point down the line. Who knows what will happen after their microsoft deal ends. They will prob get a new deal with them but if not it would be suicide to turm their backs on anyone.

          AnonD-196285, 16 Dec 2013MS is the reason they survived to this day actually. I would rather say that MS is reason of Nokia bankrupt. There is no other reason for fall of Nokia as Elop's "burning platform" statement for Symbian and Meego. And MS just shot dieing horse...

              if Nokia didn't limit itself to single OS and open itself to other possibility, the story might be different.
