they are just teenage in the competition, lets just wait when they will become mature..

I think it's more mature in terms of optimization and performance wise.

And interface wise! Their homescreen is seriously amazing!! But I still want them to add some missing features... then WP8 will truly win me

this would be a great time to make a phone thats similar to the orinal Xperia (controller button slide out) to take advantage of the microsoft live support and give microsoft a way transfer into the handheld video game system market.. Never understood why sony didn't let you download and play PSP games on that phone.

all thanks to nokia lumia!!!

so microsoft... if you want WP to be relevant, dont you dare turn your back on nokia!

this is partly due to nokia's effort. now hurry up and get apps into the store ms and repay nokia.

16. lubba posted on 03 Dec 2012, 03:56 1 3

Repay Nokia? Nokia should repay MS for helping them keep afloat.

lets not forget the advantage MS is taking from Nokia, Nokia maps, some of Nokia's patents, Nokia's hard work to set themselves apart from competition, and to push WP more mainstream, they should get more love from Microsoft

You know MS paying Nokia $1million per year right?
