Hi Everyone!!!1st, Nokia have the Quality and Durability reputation. Being always Solid form Low end to High ends phone. The Only problem is, their software, but that before.... Now Windows 8 ( Computer Operating System ) are dealing to be an Android Army... Nokia cant cope up with Androids, but this company means business, now they are putting the power of windows operating system to generate their Windroids against Androids. On the End lets just use this technology to support us in using our emails, accounts and almost everything in our work and personal related jobs. Who ever wins, its still from us how we enjoy it.

    If you want to say that poor management by the government for collection of taxes is partly to blame I agree totally, but that does not absolve the individuals doing it. Using that argument would be like saying it is OK for theives to rob the bank becuase the police won't catch us. Subseqently you then blame the police when the bank goes bust and that is pretty much what has happened in Greece.

      lots of toxic contracts were sold to Greece by Golden Sachs just before the colaps, in 2007.
      in the same manner us exported their mess all over the world.
      when I say US, I say the American system, not people.

      the point is this: you can blame any government for the crisis in their country (for corruption mainly), but don't blame the people of that nation.

Of course the Nokia 1100 has sold more it has been on the market considerably longer and is cosiderably cheaper. That is is true for the vast majority of prodcut ranges of anything. The lower priced items often sell better. That is normal.

So now the burden is falling on those who do pay tax. At the end of the day nationally a nation can only take out as much as it puts in ultimately. Anything else is debt.

So high tax, economically stagnant Greece is not responsible for its own economic crisis now? Instead it's someone else's fault thousands of miles away. Right.... And Europe might need some better brains if it's still in recession while North America, Latin America and Asia are growing again post-recession.

Galaxy Phones doesn't run Windows Phone or iOS too. How are they relevant to the conversation? I just found it idiotic when people bring out sales figure and brag about it like it's the best thing happen in history. You have presented a 'sales figure' and I have responded to you 'by a sales' figure'. It is relevant. It is.

                        The situation is like that: we had a Nokia factory nhere, so these phones were very cheap and common, in the time that Symbian rulles; a lot of romanians were pleased by the build quality of the phones and so they buy a Nokia again; in the last year, many of us buy their phones dirrectly from China, and specially Lenovo ... people with over average money buy Iphones, Samsungs, Sony or Lumias like 920/925, the rest are using cheaper Androids made in china for romanian brands like Allview ...

                            While cheap Lumia variations may be sold in bulk, more than 50% of the people going for WP phones target the higher end terminals, such as Lumia 920, 925, HTC 8X, etc.

Not to mention it has been on the market for over 10 years! Mini cars sold more in the last 10 years than Rolls Royce did in the last year, therefore Mini's must be superior to Rolls Royce's??? I rather think not.

                                  well of cource windows phone sales are higher then iphone. it will soon be like that all over the world after the release of wp8.1 . iphones are very expensive with medium hardware specs. windows phones have much more various devices betwen 3.8 and 6 inch screen and most of them suport sd card. for example i would never buy any phone without sd card no matter how good it is or what price it has.
