        stupid!

        this is so stupid marketing...

        a better way is that on windows phone devices should be also Android... so you'll 'commit to WP', but you have the fall back to Android... I will certainly buy a Nokia 1020 with dual-boot WP8-Android

                AnonD-182305, 04 Oct 2013Wow thats bad for microsoft it's like they are at a point w... moreThey wouldnt go with Samsung because Samsung wouldnt commit to such a deal as they doing great on there own. They targeting HTC now because like Nokia... HTC is in a financial situation. So best bet is to try and get HTC to install Windows on there phones and they wont need to charge anything to HTC since HTC is already struggling on its own. I bet if HTC did this that Microsoft will eventually back them up financially. In the end Microsoft will kind of own Nokia and HTC which in turn could give them a much better hand in getting themselves up there with Samsung and Apple. Thats what i think could be the plan.

                  Wow thats bad for microsoft it's like they are at a point where they are actually asking htc to put the os on android devices but then again i feel if they wanted this to work they should have gone for samsung since they are leaders in the android market.

                              I have a better idea. Why doesn't Microsoft allow Nokia to put android on their devices? Oh, wait, this may not have the desired effect, but the exact opposite.
