          For me even if Nokia X comes with Android 2.3, it's still a lot better than any new Lumias.

            I'm more curious with the rest 25%, what kind of app that failed to run on Nokia X ?

                      android phone's score: 10 > Nokia X : 1

                      Android :10 : WIndowsphone :1

                      WINdows 7 : 10: windows 8 :1

                      I don`t understand what they think.
