Wow! Such a great idea to make a failing app exclusive to a smaller mobile platform!

Its not going to be exclusive to the platform. Its exclusive to the phone on the platform. It will still be on Android and iOS.

...doesn't microsoft currently have like less than four perecent of the mobile phone market?
how do they see all these stupid exclucivity deals on phones and software working to help them increase their market share?

Because Lumia's are the Galaxy S-series of the Windows Phone universe. While this move is about 6 months too late, good to know more and more devs are joining the ecosystem.

Fyi the its exclusive to all nokias, and nokia makes half of wp sales so i see no problem there. If sammy and htc put half of nokias efforts into wp maybe they would get some exclusives aswell...

Samsung and HTC have both put out killer phone for Windows. The exclusivity is just the benefit Nokia receives as a part of being closely partnered with Microsoft.

Making killer hardware is not all that nokia is doing. take the nokia apps for example: nokia maps, drive and city lens. top grade apps if not the best in their segment. and what apps has htc made for their wp devices? a clock tile as far as i know. i owned a lg optimus 7 before my lumia an all it had was a few half-baked apps. it seemed lg never cared for their costumers. i never got the feeling from nokia who constantly update their apps and give us exclusive apps. take viber for example too. nokia made sure it worked on wp even with its lacking multitasking. msoft had nothing to do with it...

I agree with you there, I had the Focus and the Titan, and their company apps were useless. HTC could have at least made their navigation app free or the Hub app more intuitive. and Samsung... smh, nothing note worthy. lol

Anyone still playing this game? I stopped so many months ago after it became too boring to play the same words again and again.
