Nokia announced Symbian Carla and Donna, and then they killed Symbian.
Nokia announced Meego, and then they killed Meego.
Nokia announced Nokia X2, and then they kill Nokia X Series.
this is becoming some kind of tradition for Nokia.
and there"s no guarantee that they won't eventually kill their own WP phones in near future.
good job for playing with consumers' trust!

WTF MS? You started to do one thing right and you scrapped it before it had time to get going.
I've wanted a top end Nokia-Android smartphone since Eclair and was hoping to own one in the future.
I've owned many, many Nokia's in the past but I guess my last ever will be an old N82 I have lying around somewhere...
Bye bye Nokia, it was a pleasure.

AnonD-282298, 17 Jul 2014He he he...Those who bought Lumia are responsible for death... moretoo devil-ish in you, dude, I think people believe in the product and not the leaders who decides what to create, they buy it because they believe in it, its functionality and reliability, do you own other brand of smartphones with the same OS? do you use other cameras like dslr or point-n-shoot other than your cellphone? it's unfortunate for those people who will going to lose their job, I hope they could find another job and go on with their lives, but these things will surely not going to be "dead".

darkraver, 17 Jul 2014LoL, Sony's strategy looks to be a no competing one, and th... moreguess sony vaio division had the same philosphy of not competing with their competitors. look what happened they got sold. Samsung manufactures better android than sony ever did. Sony's UI is shit. nothing unique about sony which will warrant Samsung user's to shift to sony. samsung will get back to the game...oh wait Samsung never lost

This shows Satya Nadella has killer instincts when it comes to attracting android users towards windows phone because they gave hint/experience of what and how WP look like through their Nokia X Platform, how WP's User Interface looks and works like with their X, X+, XL & X2 and now slowly they are implementing WP in their X family of phones.. So here what happens is future X family --- it comes with WP which almost looks like Nokia X UI, thereby improving their chances of selling good numbers... Most of the mid-range phone buyers doesn't hesitate to buy them and no wonder if it sells like hot pan cakes... Hats off to Mr.Strategic Satya Nadella lol...
