                  LTE, 27 Mar 2013-What are the similarity between Microsoft and Nokia? They... moreblah blah blah
                  fact: wp is the fastest os that can run in several devices, hell it's even faster than os's that run in one device ;)
                  fact: theres no easier way into the smartphone world than wp. Everybody can use live tiles to do whatever they want without having to tap/double tap/swipe and tap again/root etc etc
                  fact: you have never touched a wp in your life. My guess? You got rid of your old single-core lagdroid (believing that the new octacore 16gb RAM tech wonder will be better) and just because you didn't find somebody to sell the old one you gave it to your mom.

If yes then i must say that u r an illiterate guy who dont know how to silent ur phn wid just one click. My friend just push the volume rocker button and tap right most corner ok. Dont say wp has no decent apps and games, the famous ones like asphalt7, temple run(launched today) , subway surfer(soon) , and lots more wid high end graphics are there. U guys dont even have that status to own a wp smartphone. Just play wid ur droids

                      Soon will be Android turn to bite the dust. I hope WP and other serious mobile OS like Jolla or Ubuntu will kill this evil OS. And the world all around will be more happy. STOP THE LAG AND MALWARE FOR GOD SAKE. Amen!!!

                        it outsells iphone in poor countries where people dont really buy hight priced phones its not that hard to believe notice they did not say anything about android beacuse they have lower priced phones in these areas that are outselling windows

                          touch311, 27 Mar 2013I'll try one of WP if they still doing well next year.You have to try it NOW, not next year. Go to a phone store and try out an WP phone, like the amazing Nokia Lumia 920.

                            They both lie and fake, Nokia faked Lumia samples and then lied about it and now Microsoft doing same thing with market share and expansion of WP. Its like the made for each other.
                            WP is just a primitive OS and its so closed with no decent games or apps, it doesn't support multitasking, Bing's map is a disaster, even you can't monitor battery status as a regular phone you have to click on battery bar, you can't make silent mode like Android with one click in WP you have to go to setting to make it silent its a completely ridiculous OS, i bought it for my Mom i thought its easy to use but it appeared to be difficult and worthless.

                              I'm super curious about these "7 markets", that WP outsells iOS. Are these markets whole countries? Are they certain areas in countries? Or certain regions in world? Or some mall/shoppingcenter? The size of the markets are very important to this story but I guess we will never know and my guess is it's 7 small concentrated markets, that don't have any overall significance to the competition of smartphone sales.

                                Windows Phone 8 is a buggy and very limited OS. Multitasking is pathetic and "Live Tiles" are not live. I had to switch to Android.

                                  i tried windows and its not enough for me its missing a bit but maybe with future updates they will be able to fill in the blanks and i wont mind switching.

                                      Working in sales in the UK I always push WP7/8. Mid range andriod phones feel like toys to use and most people dont need or want the customisation of andriod. WP offers stable software and a genuine smartphone solution without being bogged down with needless features. The future looks good for WP

                                        so, is it just like another "Smoked by Windows Phone" campaign all over again?
