17 April, 2012
The high price tags, mediocre marketing plans and some software issues are to blame.

        One should understand that these people sitting at stores are paid agents of google/sammy. They r such a muffs to call nokia's promotion which was the biggest ever done by any company as poor.
        Go t AT&T stores n the people there try hell out of things to make u buy iphone over lumia900.

        Go to any store in developing markets u ll find same case but compny will be samsung against nokia.
        My brother literally had to come out of store bcos the mobile store guy forced him so much to buy galaxy Y over nokia500.

        Wat ever ppl say nokia is still strong in cash reserves with $12 billion in hand n they can survive losses for another 5 years

            Nokia an there decision to employ Mr Elop as been a total diaster,from company doing so well All he as done as Downgraded Such a Popular company,as he as Plan worked out with Microsoft so soon they will be getting the Limelight be Stepping in an Buying or Overtake Nokia,so Mr Elop will be happy with this news,just look at the whats gone wrong,we had the Nokia N8,an you could customize the phone with Themes but you can"t on the Lumias,Bluetooth is Very Popular on phones when you can Send an Recieve,Images or Music but Not on The Lumia as its not Allowed,then you could micro sd cards in the N8 but not on the Lumias,an why do we have to Zune on the Lumia is very annoying,So Glad after the N8 i switch to Android an the Samsung Galaxy S2 an its more like using the N8,an with the Galaxy S3 on the way an iPhone5 the Lumia 900 if its full of Faults will keep needing updates All the Time which is Very Annoying Indeed

                          Nobody even talks about Samsung windows phone or HTC.

                          They just make it to the news for releases then gone with the wind.

                                Phones should be build over unified architecture,so that users can install any OS they want.
