      Grinder, 05 Oct 2013...and then, the news that we will be hearing in the near f... moreHighly possible because without buying HTC, no way for Microsoft to put windows 8 OS in the phone. If this is really happen, HTC will be on the spotlight again. Hopefully Samsung will not do it by launching dual OS smartphone soon but I think they will!

          A very desperate move from a player that had been continuously losing market share.

                mehhh.. it is microsoft own fault, they sandboxing everything in wp8 phone, the UI not consistent too on the home screen user cant have horizontal home screen, but on some apps it rotate and dont have lock rotation option too. resuming apps is loading, resuming chat is loading, chat notification lag and sometimes missing, apps switch mean to press back back back back, cant they invent the close button? how hard is it?
                they can buy nokia, shove htc money to install wp on android phone, but still the true cure is fix that beta testing OS.

                      Microsoft just needs to release more of these and have them on all carriers. These sell like hot cakes for weeks now.

                                    Desperation epitomised.
                                    I saw a horrifically cringeworthy tv ad by MS yesterday bashing Google & Gmail, followed by another bashing the ipad.
                                    Remember the tv ad campaign by Apple bashing pc guy & irony of the backlash they had. I've never heard or seen Google put down any of their competition. Those who lower themselves to such tactics scream desperation & should be concentrating on more productive endeavors like improving their services.i think people have just had enough of MS' s b.s. I hope HTC don't accept this Trojan horse as it could lead to the same demise as Nokia :S

                                      why not let htc port android on those 8s & 8x? so people have choice? will microsoft allow? probably not.
