Re: The Windows Phone Thread
I feel bad for Nokia, planning to hold back my purchase now atleast until WP8.1 is released likely by next April. I had my eyes nearly set on the 6inch phablet, but this raises a lot of questions.
I'd predict a growing disenchantment with the superior imaging and all-round goals like Nokia did. And not to mention maps and bug fixing.
MS wants 15% marketshare by 2018, that goes well with my view of them as a numbers-oriented company, one that left WP7 users in the lurch because it wasnt 'economical' to backport NT kernel to the older processors. This is the same company that routinely releases and kills its own product lines and has wacky ADs with little sense. I guess its goodbye to some genuinely funny ads, great comeras and above all great reliability and service.
Heh, I am already thinking of getting a N4 as backup, especially with the price drop...
RIP Nokia. Thee shall not be forgotten.
