Negative Comment = Android User/haven't tried WP8

Positive Comment = WP User/Intelligent People who knows the business side and have experienced a Lag free, Energy Efficient and very reliable Smartphone Nokia Devices running at Windows Phone 8/8.1

ME = current Android User. Will be switching back to WP again. I just hope MicroSoft(maker of my desktop and laptop OS) will not erase my favorite Phone/cellphone/Smartphone Brand Name "NOKIA" on my future device.

Job well done for Mr. Elop and the Board of Directors of NOKIA.

              why do some of you droids assume that if nokia ditched WP and made adopted Android the company would be better off ?
              how short sighted are you all !!
              The consumer needs alternatives and you will soon find that WP is far better than Android and will continue to get better. Nokia see this too.
              but you dont.
              oh dear.

                    The new synonym for "traitor" is "Elop". Nokia, please bring back Symbian and join Android. Don't sell your soul to Microsoft ! Amen !

                            Microsoft deal would be 100% successful and we will witness a total and immense integration of wp8 and Nokia. Thought ppl said Nokia is "dead" etc.how then, do u ask for new products from d "dead"? And am suprised with d gsmarena tactics on microsoft and Nokia deal. U haven't even reviewed the 1020 till date but here u are reporting on how much Elop is expected to earn.

                              The Elope Strategy:
                              CRTL Microsoft for some time, before he decides to SHIFT loyalty. He will then ESC Microsoft and will ENTER Samsung. After that, Elop will attempt to DEL Microsoft and will get Samsung to INS its bid for Microsoft. Once the deal is through, it will be the END of Microsoft.

                                  Microsoft sent him in with the sole goal of destroying the company and making it a cheap buy for Microsoft and then reward him for doing it and probably will make him in charge in place of Steve Balmer.

                                  I wonder how Nokia shareholders and the Finnish people think about this?
