        ObserverPh, 09 Jan 2013Oppsss.. sorry, wrong use of words... Mock Wp8 more.. :)Why, wasn't that all just a really good advert for Android and the NovaThor chip?

        There were a bunch of outlandish false claims stated there in between pretty ordinary new feature from a bunch of a few people acting excited about a few things that were not that exciting (the audience also didn't find it that exciting).

        The 3rd party browser on my WM6.5 phone is better than the IE browser on my WP8 phone .... but they have decided to focus on some other rubbish and just claim their browser is 'super'.

          AnonD-36731, 09 Jan 2013It may as well have been one of those awful cooking, ladder... moreI could care less about the figures, i just want to be unique.. :)

            It may as well have been one of those awful cooking, ladder, fitness equipment type informercials. That was just painful.
            Maybe it's a custural thing but I really can't believe that.

            Steve wasn't sure at all what year last Christmas was in. Next year they will need to hold up signs telling people when to clap.

                    Anyone watch the source clip from the start. Aekward. Never seen so many lame comments. How could that presentation have ever seemed like a good idea.

                      And in the end, if you can read french articles, or at least can use online translators like reverso, juste look at it: http://aful.org/ressources/articles/linux-entreprise-aful-repond .

                      Amazingly, I do not own an Android, WP8/WP7.5 or I device. Not that I dislike them (well, Ok, I dislike I devices, but it is just my opinion.), it is just that I want something that just works, whether out of the box or after some tweaking, and that my current phone still works.

                            There are other places in the world apart from the US. They could have 0% market share in America and still sell over 6 billion handsets, so I don't think using those analysts reports is anything to go by really.

                                  what lagdoid fans don't get it is that it's not important who sells the most but more important is to have alternatives. In this way wp/android/ios/bb and all others are forced to at least improve if they can't always inovate. good luck living with only one brand and OS, ohhh and while we're here let's all be vegetarians and have unicorn underwear...

                                        For those of you that comment on the subject of WP, but have never tried one, I recommend that you do so. I own a LG OptimusBlack, with CyanogenMod 10, and have been using lately a Lumia800. Aside the fact that the user interface cannot be customized as Android, it's much more faster, and the PeopleHub is great. I've been using the Lumia for about a month now, and I considered returning to my faithful Optimus, but after playing with the Optimus for about 2 hours, that thought went away. The downside for WP is that you don't have as many apps available on the Market like on the Android Market, but the apps you need most are available.

                                        This is my opinion, it's subjective, but i really recommend that you play with a WP before stating it's crap.
