Great start...N1 tablet and now C1
Even though it is produced by Foxcon, it is still designed, developed by Nokia. So we can trust and buy..
Nokia always known for their great hardware...

I agree with Raja.
Nokia should not adopt Andriod OS , The reason why people are/were still using Nokia cause of its Own OS or Windows OS. If it comes to Android then one can say Bye bye to Nokia unless they start to copy HTC strategy i.e. to launch the same phone on two different platforms.

Good to see Nokia showing Microsoft the finger :) Nokia now doing the same as Apple, in house design but built by foxcon since Microsoft owns all old manufacturing plants.

I mean you are a kind of KID. Better start using Nokia 1100, 1600 type multimedia sets or Window phones and then you can think abt Android or iOS.
FYI: You can HARDLY imagine abt the features in Android 5.0 and ofcrs that is out of imagination of Windows but even those are not yet implemented in iOS.

I think i like it, Intel soc is interesting, but of course 720p will be a dealbreaker. Also, Nokia of the past was not good in squeezing in big batteries, even giant bricks like Lumia 920 had fairly small batteries for some reason, hope it will not be a problem again.

So, technically, MS paid a lot of cash to purchase Nokia and now they are getting absolutely nothing out of it because what remained of Nokia is making phones with a better platform and it's gonna steal all of MS's sales? Sound business strategy Microsoft, really impressive.
