That doesn't mean Samsung won't be ignoring Windows Phone 9. Hopefully, WP will dominate (though I like Android more).

Microsoft should shut Samsung out completely, from every version of Windows, including the desktop OS. Blacklist the 3astards....

Maybe Sprint will get into the game and get All of these Windows 9 Phones. Sprint is opening up their New LTE Network, so why not add All of these Windows 9 Phones to their Lineup in order to get some more customers to join and to keep others from leaving because Sprint keeps taking the wait and see approach attitude.

Samsungs just busy trying to keep it's Crown over Android away from Motorola/Google who has been working on taking its OS back from Samsung & HTC, It's also sneaking the Good parts of Android away to make Tizen OS better then Android and Samsung knows it'll never really made the Windows Phone sales that Nokia & HTC are seeing.

best thing of wp8 is that all are like nexus and gets updated on time.
on android the most frustrating thing its late or no update.

Samsung has already tested the WP waters. My guess is they would rather stay where the money is.
