      as i said the move to WP was the only way NOKIA could survive and it has proven to be the correct choice :)

      using the same OS that is being used by almost every popular mobile phone was not the best move.

        Sammy, Sony, HTC were next to nothing before android came and they all cling to one OS for their success.
        Im not saying droids are bad but its just that NOKIA has done something no one else has done. - gotten hold of an OS which has earned critical comments and subsequently shown promising signs, to which much of the community seems to be having negative feedback.
        I for one DO NOT want to hold an Android NOKIA device in my hand. Why should i have the same thing that everyone else has? It has a great future with the current hardware specs and WP8 developments.

            Earlier i had a sony experia e. It was ok and buggy atimes. Then i switched to lumia 620. Gosh...the experience is so good. I find windows phone much much better than andoroid. The only problem i find is the number of apps. Hope things get better in the app market.

                I don't think it was a coincidence that Nokia switched to WP only to be bought out by Microsoft a short time after. They need the funds of a company like MS to keep them afloat.

                      If only they'd stuck to MeeGo or chosen 'droid - WP wouldn't even be a spec on the radar.

                              I'm enjoying seeing the number of Android fanboys and other trolls who flock on NOKIA related news posted on GSMArena.... I can actually count the number of visits i have ever made into a post regarding an Android Based phone.
                              This much hate/love (whatever you may call it) shown by the Trolls and Android fanboys towards NOKIA posts goes to show their interest in NOKIA.... be it fear or love.

                                  Windows Phone saved Nokia.

                                  Elop saved Nokia after previous management almost killed it.

                                    but in reality - you've never used a smartphone and only have the intellignece to use a featurephone.

                                        Is it already possible to change the brightness when you watch a movie on youtube or other movies? With Android you can drop down the notification bar and change it while watching. And also is there a quick way to change wifi, mobile internet, silent mode, bluetooth and other settings, by using widgets or notification toggles? If that's not possible on WP than I will stick with Android cause the things i've mentioned are important to me.
