The typical Android and especially Sammy fanboys are so insecure in real life. Android is the no. 1 OS in the world and Sammys are the biggest phone manufacturer, yet you go to every article/blog and cr*p on WP 8. Why this insecurity? Don't waste your time, just go and check if your droid has run outta battery. May be its time to put it on charge for the 3rd time in a day. Lol

          sandy, 16 May 2013u r right. wp8 phones worth only for making calls like any ... moreYeah, cheap or not, we dont buy phone for show off, we buy it for its primary function. like what you said. calling... i understand you, you have no friends. thats why you nedd a phone that have a lots of apps. and need those customization for pass time, since you have no person to talk too.

            "always open source" ???
            Be serious: 90% android users buy phones for(the "free") games and they don't buy apps. Open source means to install linux and work only on it(for pcs of course). Lagdroid it's fun,cheap, but that's all. You will see that Nokia will have a big sale increase this year.

                      Windows Phone was the fastest

                            It's funny how the trolls keep saying Nokia will go bankrupt with WP .. blah blah blah .. and yet the evidence is here on a plate, showing how much stronger it's becoming, it wouldn't have surpassed BB without the aid of Nokia's designs. Keep trolling and Nokia will keep getting stronger. :-)

                              this is not news Google will always have the lead because it's Os is on more than 500 different devices

                                    Google has created the perfect catch 22 situation to keep Microsoft from creative a dedicated Youtube app.
                                    On one hand Google removed Windows Phone YouTube app because it does not display ads.

                                    On the other hand Google won’t grant Microsoft access to the necessary APIs needed to displays ads with the app. A catch 22 indeed

                                    Catch 22 – A situation in which a desired outcome or solution is impossible to attain.
