Samsung is worried now that the Nokia Lumia 900 is selling like crazy. It's current the #1 Top Selling phone on Amazon and also #1 Top Rated phone.

Android is not a business mobile in the sense it leaves several critical boxes unchecked. No wonder Samsung does an each way bet as they know the limitations of Anroid and yet another massive market to tap into. Me I have a BB9900 and a Samsung Note to cover my requirements, both of which do the job ok but not perfect for MS Office documents. Games I dont care.

          you can,t because WP 7.s has hardwre limitations.
          That,s why Nokia unable to put high end Hardware in theis WP 7.s device. Now everything will change in WP8.

                          AnonD-49431, 13 Apr 2012FAIL, Nokia WP8 Devices Will Pack PureView Sensor and will ... moreThat is most likely true. Nokia seemed very quiet on the PureView and Windows Phone at the time of the 808's announcement. So I can truly see Nokia pushing through an amazing WP8 device with a PureView camera set up. I would definitely say that is powerful.

                                since all wp have the same specs and same performance, so in this case the design really matter, I can't believe someone will buy a wp which isn't Nokia

                                  Again. This is very sad news. The charlatan strikes again.

                                  Samsung cut a deal with the devil so it can continue its Android success.

                                  But Samsung will still be known for Android & the Galaxy S series will continue to be iPhone's greatest rival. Make no mistake.

                                  This is the price they had to pay. M$ is just a big bully that is growing old.

                                  But we have to live with it.

                                  support open source. Android Linux.
