I can picture Don Draper from Mad Men with a BlackBerry Z10
He's man enough for this phone :)
But wow I loved the comment about being slave to Android's open source "freedom". It's true actually

      Anonymous, 16 Jan 2014Nice story bro. So you haven't used a WP8 yet. Okay.Correct...

      Nor have I driven a City buss either, still I'm decided that another car is what I will get.

      Same with phones, A Android will be my next phone (Any one, exempt a Nokia Android mobile).

      When I pay, I decide.
      Bus fanboys and Winphone fanboys, have no saying...

          Now is 64bit coming to phones.
          Thats a great reason for a new WP version (WP9?).

          Of course no WP8.x phones won't be able to run a 64bit Winphone version.

          Which means that all takers of WP8 phones and especially late takers will find them selfs, like WP7.5 buyers where, Microsoft won't support older WP version after they have launched a new one...

          The new WP might be intended for both Tablets and phones (Yet another reason for M$ to drop support for both RT and WP8.x) and released at the same time as the Computer Win9, April 2015.

            I only know one person that have used both Android, IOS and WP.
            (My self only Android, Symbian and WM6.x).

            She is a coworker and friend at the factory. Her first Smartphone OS was WP7, within a year she traded it for a Iphone 4S and now using a Samsung S4.

            Asked her what phone OS would she get when gets her next phone.

            She answered. A Samsung with Android or IOS anything but Winphone...

            I know that WP8 is not WP7, just like Android 4.3 is not Android 1.6, but still.

            My next phone will be an Android phone, too.

              Microsoft the lagger, 16 Jan 2014android is free iphone is a cult windows phone is ... ahh... moreFreer?! Nothing is free in this life..

              Android is full of security holes, malware, troyans, backdoors, NSA Tracking, fake apps, cookies, Ads, and endless lists of tracking apps.

              So, no freedom at all in that OS... you are a disguised slave of everything that surrounds Google and their evil partners..

              If you feel is free, please take a time to read ALL BEHIND Android an their policies of info handling and then you can get back here to post more comments about it...

It goes without saying that the software must be usable if not as good as Android and iOS. By the way, they can thank Android and iOS for showing the way.
