          Microsoft won't let Nokia do anything to WP7, they don't want the update mess that Android has with skins.

          Nokia WP7 phones will just come with a few Nokia pre-installed apps and a tile or two, that's it.

            LOL at WP7, it's the newest OS and it's market share is already falling
            from the minuscule number they had.

            The fact is no one wants WP7, it's a "me too" OS, the same restrictions and limitations as iOS and none of the good things iOS offers.

            WP7 is just a social networking feature phone.

            Nokia will not change anything.

            I bet most of the people that praise WP7 don't own one, they just don't like iOS and Android.

Telling the world that they won't skin WP is a great tactic and will keep the other OEMs like Samsung from complaining. Maybe when the time comes to unveil the W series, Nokia will surprise everyone with a skinned WP device.

                Btw, if you think that the Nokia fanboys here represents the majority then you are mistaken. The common person don't care about multi tasking implementation. Only geeks cares about how multi tasking on their device is implemented.

                  USA is not the world. Does someone relaize tha USA is only like 8% of the global market? I saw another mobile market result last week, and this time globally, where Symbian still is the leader. With that said i will add that i don't like Symbian and that Windows Phone 7 is the best OS in the market.

                    By the way which Phone nokia fans are going to buy? because they want REAL multitasking, so are they going for android?

                      It is an exciting time to be sure. The smartphone market is still very young, and so many things can happen. I am amazed at what phones can do now. Remember a few years ago, when all we could ask was "How many megapixel?" hehehe man, we've progressed a lot since then.

                        If RIM dont get any new fresh devices out with spec that folk demand they will start to fall by the wayside..Still think Android is on its way out tho..Its hard to explain but yes they are in a big way ATM but its starting to crumble and many i know are starting to get bored with it.Could not care less about Apple .

                        On W7 system its very immature ATM and needs a lot doing..When Nokia said they only doing one meego type device they are saying this hardware will live on in W7 and not be lost,,eventually.

                        Still one big factor in all this and thats money.I go by what is happening in UK and my circle of friends as to their changing attitudes.Everyone of then who has i fone cannot get one this time around as they cannot take out a 2 year contract when jobs are going and mortgage and bills are more important,,but neither can they buy it straight out on PAYG.Most are returning to RIM Or android units of smaller value..

                        Its all rosy with apple according to some on gsmarena but many are struggling after forking out for ipad 2 out of family budget and it wil show up after another 12 months that apple will lose share,,the world cannot support these very expensive items.

                        Me myself have BB torch and sgs and what will i get next,,dont know really its all a bit of a mess the market..

                                The wierd thing is almost every one of my friends here in the philippines are changing to RIM or "blacberry". As I am the guy only to use an Android OS mainly the G1, and I just can't stop wondering how RIM's success begin to falter, sure I don't like the blackberry, but RIM is successful in this country. . :))

                                    Google did NOT allow Nokia to put on OVI Maps and other differentiating stuff on Android and that's why the deal fell apart. If Google allowed Nokia to do that then Nokia would have gone Android instead of WP.

                                    Read the story why Nokia went with WP instead and go through all 7 pages of it.

Android have Android Market and anyone is free to customize it and xda developers can add any ui/skin... the user want. Android is a much better OS than WP7!
