        AnonD-27765, 03 Sep 2013Your rant is the best I've read on in here. You're so articulate!Thanks. That's the only thing I can do. I can't save Nokia, you know. Buying this Lumia 800 is enough I guess, I should've bought the N9 but the price is so damn high.

        Anyway, I'll keep praying hard for Jolla's success up to the point that they can buy Nokia. I'll support them no matter what. :)

                  Everything good in the Lumias is by Nokia, everything else that is bad is Microsoft. Now Lumias will be totally bad, not worth a single dime.

                    Microsoft's goal is buying Nokia but they made Nokia down first so they can buy cheap. Selop and Microsoft are who made Nokia sell their soul now. So sad for Nokia.

                      Nokia really sold itself cheap to Microsoft. I guess Microsoft intentionally made W7.5 and 8(particularly W7.5) suck so that Nokia would lose market and its share value drop, then d TAKE OVER. Those Microsoft guys are real business men.

                        The best device ever made is Nokia.

                          i had my love and support for NOKIA even in their bad times. I always thought this company will sure get better and become king of the hill. I have always bought only NOKIA phones not only of their build quality, but also to do my bit to support their financial state.
                          I cant explain how much disappointed I am rite now after listening to this tragedy Elop did. I had always expected NOKIA will someday leave that stupid MS and make their own OS or adopt android with thier unique UI.
                          But as NOKIA is no longer theirs. I now simply wish goodbye NOKIA. AND F**K u MS I aint buying ur shit no more.
                          BUUURNNNN..!!!!

                                      Loved Symbian, Love Meego... The moment elop killed both of them, this was just a matter of time,
                                      If nokia has used meego, s60v3, and android parallely instead of trying to make symbian more touch optimized, it would have been a different situation. ..
