I wonder what is the edge Nokia has over other manufacturers like Smasung, HTC and Huwaei. Same platform for all, where all can win over Nokia in terms of pricing, specs and design.... Too bad for Nokia.

    Definitely I'm going to buy a WP8 as long it has a backup / restore capability, especially to backup SMS. In WP7 it's a painful job to change handset as you will loose all your data and SMSes.

                There have always been better specs phones on the market compared to the iPhone, but they never managed to sell like it.

                There are many more factors at play than specs when it comes to phones.

                    If it's windows phone, i'd rather go with nokia honestly. they are the one with a strong connection with microsoft. Not to mention nokias designs.

                      [deleted post]Why, because it has a dual core? WP8 doesn't need the hardware that Android fans beg for. It runs silky smooth on slower CPU's.

                        "Microsoft and Nokia to hold joint press event on September 5"

                        I agree with your comments I posted this in response to a comment that Nokia Lumia were "dumb"
                        http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-4658p2.php
                        "I mean calling the Lumia "DUMB" when it is a Smartphone is ill thought out

                        There are so many errors & omissions I can see the frustration of say your teachers...

                        So a recap

                        In July 2011 APPLE conceeded defeat to NOKIA (massive court case!!!) in that IOS did breach the NOKIA software patents.
                        Apple is paying NOKIA royalties for each Apple products that has IOS running on it

                        APPLE IOS used Nokia patents but now is licensed

                        RE Android suffice to say that the likelyhood that EACH manufacturer SAMSUNG LG SONY etc that uses Android will eventually also pay Nokia for the running Android as guess what yes NOKIA has the patents.... until they do are NOT yet licenced...oops

                        Shortly after APPLE sued SAMSUNG

                        Me
                        look some of us did not go away for good, We tasted the forbidden fruit of Android and liked it.
                        I have a Samsung Galaxy SII, and NOTHING will make me invest in any phone without expansion.

                        If the SGSII were Windows, I would have a Windows SGSII. Expansion is my deal breaker

                        The Lumia 900 is brill it has sold buckets in the US
                        WP8 brings expansion.. yeah baby

                        Now i think that this is a BRILLIANT strategic ploy by NOKIA.
                        Segue
                        If the rumours are to be believed on 12/09/2012 the IP5 will be announced to the world at the same time take pre-orders

                        I do doubt that the IP5 will come close the SGS III (it won't have USB OTG for starters) and then there is the price

                        Announce you have a say "Lumia 911?" that now comes with expansion and see how many returnees there are.

                        More than 4400 I can tell you
                        A smart (phone) move if ever there was one"
                        Samsung appeas to moved the 'Galaxy' franchise to Windows and to differentiate it used the OMNIA brand

                        One only has to look at what the Lumia 900 is and add expansion.
                        So let be clear here NOKIA were making SMARTPHONES when Smart and phones were 2 separate words

                              When will smartphone producers start considering developing economies in their pricing systems? How unfortunate it is for me to be a citizen of a very poor country like Nigeria! Anyway, thanks to NOKIA for being there for poor people!!!

                                      the Android version from battery life, to true use of
                                      dual cores.

                                      Elop knew this is the future and why the loyal Nokia
                                      fans are behind him for our range

                                        AS im saying, it begins from sep 5th

                                        People will say no to lag.
                                        This series will finally outsell Galaxy

                                        You'll see the grow figures increases.
                                        Slowly we all will like the lagless tiles and Microsoft's $$$ means it's here to stay until we do like it :)
