#SmokedbyWindowsPhone on the road in Italy
Share:
The video below shows a montage of #SmokedbyWindowsPhone 'contestants' who were, well, smoked by Windows Phone. And while our Italian isn't what it used to be (Topo Gigio, pizzeria, Al Pacino), we can see from the signs held up by those who participated that there were a few Apple iPhone users who were smoked as well as owners of unannounced Samsung models. We take it that Microsoft and Nokia must consider Apple and Samsung to be their biggest competition because those totin' handsets not manufactured by those two were simply given a sign that carried the one-size fits all description of "smartphone". Actually. it seems that many of those holding up the "smartphone" sign were using an HTC model.
So where next for the #SmokedbyWindowsPhone crew? Hmmm. Where in Europe would you find a large crowd of smartphone owners of all kinds, all pumped up with enthusiasm and ready for a good time? Knowing our sense of humor by now, you know we are referring to the Olympics. But Samsung has already paid for the rights to be the official phone of the Summer Olympics this year, Microsoft wouldn't dare try to encroach on Sammy's territory, would they?

This challenge is not about device, this challenge is about right chosen application for current task and nothing more.

Yup. They should do a browsing test against a S3 or 4S and call the whole thing "Windows Phone made my day".

If someone wants some translations about the video i'm here :-)
About this part:
"Nokia Lumia ha stracciato il mio iPhone" is
"Nokia Lumia has beaten (by far) my iPhone"

Stephen Elop even doesn't seem to know other competing brands than iPhone and Samsung.

i think buying a windows phone now is a bad choice, since it wont be updated to wp8... just wait for the windows phone 8 people!

And I suggest to wait till WP 9 or even WP 10. ;)

In my opinion Windows Phone 8 is still to young. :)

I was not about PC, but yes I prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8. :)
