Dont really matter samsung nokia htc or whatever. Wp8 ui itself dont look as good as android/ios. Ppl might buy to try something different but soon or later will return to android/ios because wp ui look is really boring. Only the fanatics wp users will stay using it.

    Another stiff competition to Nokia WP8. Since nokia not yet launched dual core processor mobile, as windows8 supports to that, the expectations from nokia going big.

      interface is new but after 1 or 2 month of usage, users will get bored up. that's not in the case of android. android will survive and will bounce back. it's good to see windows os using galaxy s3 US version hardware.

      One more thing Android is open source and will come with something new in times.

                              James, 30 Aug 2012Samsung are smart manufacturers. They are not beholden to ... moreYou have forgotten, right?
                              Samsung, HTC and all other manufacturers (except Motorola) took a deal with Microsoft to support Windows Phone.
                              If they refused they would be sued for patent infrigments.
                              They didn't willingly accept WP on their own, because they thought WP is a winner, like you said!
