I totally agree with you pal, Nokia & MS are bringing a knife to a Missile fight between iOS and Android when i saw 101 reasons not to buy WP7 i felt so sad for Nokia & MS, nokia would have stuck with Meego which was more like Android and was and still is very good

Yea, its sad. Blackberry and Symbian shipped more phones. So much for "dead platforms", they are looking more alive and well than WP7.

That's true dude, and even galaxy note was selling 3million over 3 months

That pre-order were from the carriers and not the users Kiddo !!
So they were not purchased by individuals !!

Yeah and the 2.2 million Lumia was also from carriers.

that is just a value from some random samsung exec. and one more thing that is pre-ordered from carriers not from people. obviously carriers must pre-order many

Galaxy S3 also will be available on all 4 major carriers. That doesn't count for the entire difference, of course, but it is a pretty significant limitation for the Lumia's sales.

It's 2.2M lumia shipped not sold..
There might be lesser "unlucky people" as you said.

Agreed,Ive been saying it for ages that carriers all have a lot of backlogged wp stock which they just can't sell,nobody wants them,nokia has made a fatal mistake

That's a low blow coming from Symbians market dominance and hardly enough to calm the investors (who want to bail out!)

in smartphones, open source os > closed source os,closed source os is like a prison,we dont get options.
in desktop, closed source os >open source os,usage is not as heavy as smartphones,so closed source rules.
above news is a proof

not bad for a company who was destined to sink, be destroyed, etc.

funny how these people laugh at nokia. Every company with a new start is expected to be in this level. Wait you people, just wait.

i agree, i see nokia by Q3 2013 should regain back their first place given that windows 8 is a hit
26. downphoenix posted on 08 Jun 2012, 17:40 0 2
actually Windows 8 is not a hit. A lot of users dont like the new style, and several companies are not planning to upgrade from 7 or earlier versions to 8.

who told you this?

Most users I've spoken to DO like Windows 8. In my experience, there are some users who haven't outright disliked the new style, but still prefer the standard Windows 7 interface, and I completely understand that.
As far as enterprise goes -- I wouldn't expect many companies to switch to Windows 8, no matter how good it could have been. Companies move much more slowly than individuals when it comes to upgrading, and Windows 7 is both relatively new and pretty solid.
Whether or not the Metro UI is useful to everybody, you still have your full, regular Windows there, and that should go a long way in reassuring people who are hesitant to try it.

I agree as well. Consider this, the Lumia 900 (which has had great success in the States) launch in Q2 stateside. Q2 has been much better for Nokia than Q1. Some people shouldn't comment b/c they believe everything they hear regardless of the source. D*mb A$$

It would be wrong to say the phrase that "Symbian Died". It would be far more better to say that "Stephen Elop killed the Symbian" because he is the only person responsible for the death of Symbian.
He could have incorporated Meego in Symbian but he didn't. He is a complete Idiot or some secret worker of Microsoft who aims to make Nokia a part of Microsoft and is hence killing all the old things that Nokia has and making the company all Micrsoftish..!!

Sorry but symbian was too old so its code was too messed. It was taking much more time to update the os and it caused updating delays. Yeah symbian was excellent Os, better than anything in market today, but i think wp7.5 is great (it is still in its 2nd major version), but is closed like Ios ( Apple has strong brand and quite famous so iphones sell in millions) so no mass adoption.
I think Nokia will recover very slowly.
