You talk the same sh** on each article related to Nokia and Windows?

If you don't like them then stop reading these articles or stop commenting.

Oh allow me please, I think for Windows die-hards this is an excellent choice option as long as:

1. Verizon doesn't price it at a full retail price of $799 or $599 (with a 2-year commitment)

2. Verizon releases a finished product and not something needing a subsequent hardware upgrade! (XOOM anyone, ring a bell??)

3. Those dimwits at MicroBackwards have the good sense to include a MicroSD slot or, EVEN BETTER YET, a USB port??!!

4. Also, given that these are "Windows" tablets, they should support traditional x86 program installations.

Personally, i Feel it's never too late: look at Apple, they are trying so hard (bless their poor little iSouls) to catch up with Android and Samsung.

Anywhoot, Nokia has to be willing to compromise by way of offering the consumer every bell and whistle.

Yes, Microsoft has gotten a bad rap but, it's Microsoft's own fault and that dreadful man, Steve Balld'mer: someone should melt him!!

I am continually amazed at the uninformed. RT was made to compete with Android and iPads. They are SoC devices as is RT. I have an RT device and can do anything I want on it. I didn't buy it to REPLACE MY PC, just like people buying iPads and Android tablets aren't buying them to replace a PC. The thing Microsoft did wrong is the name (good grief, you can do better than RT!) and the ads. They should have done ads showing how to use it (a la Apple adds for Siri) instead of or in conjunction with the dancing students.

If you want to replace your PC with a tablet, get a Windows Pro tablet. If you want a tablet so you can do the things you do with your Smartphone only with a bigger screen, get an SoC tablet.

Okay Einstein, first of all, I'm not looking to replace my desktop with my tablet; a tablet should be on the go, hence, that is why it is a portable device (And, please Microsoft make it portable and not potable).

What would be nice, though, would be the ability to install traditional 32-bit software like Adobe CS (Not the entire suite but at least the full Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier Pro, Soundbooth) or other Full video editing and music editing software without being confined to a watered-down version from an app store. Please let me know if this can be done. Also, I would need the Full Microsoft Office Enterprise suite to be able to install and not quasi-mobile versions: can this be done?? I'll give you one thing: the commercials for the RT are stupid, even worse than the commercials for Siri with John Malkovich wherein he portrays a lonely pathetic man talking to nothing and laughing about it.

I didn't suggest you replace your desktop. I don't even have a desktop. You can't do any of the things you mention with iOS or Android and nobody is trashing their tablets, but everyone trashes RT tablets. Just doesn't make sense to me. The only difference is Microsoft actually give the option of a tablet that WILL do all those things.

I do agree that all the commercials are stupid. I think one reason Microsoft has had so much trouble with Windows 8 is because they didn't publicize any of the most basic functionality. I can't tell you how many people I've come across that don't even know how well the search function works in Win8. Personally, I think it is much better than the start button. But, I digress . . .

That's my point exactly: you can't do any of that with iOS or Android tablets. Microsoft has the advantage here, a desktop platform that should be useable on a tablet, thereby, allowing true portability. And, not meaning a replacement of said desktop/laptop, perish the thought; I could grow to be 50 and I'll never give up having a desktop.

Microsoft needs to hit this one out of the park, especially since too many of its' end-users now have a false perception of Windows 8. Don't get me wrong, I actually like it, just put Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on my 3-year old HP Mini 311 and running Win8Pro64-bit on my desktop: just "for the record"!

People used to say the same about the iPad and look where that is. Also, you compare it to Samsung and while you don't seem to like the design, they don't seem to be doing too bad selling tablets either. I'm sure Nokia wouldn't mind having those companies "problems".

I didn't say I hate how manufacturer do this but it would be better if they didn't so there'll be a fine line difference between their phone line and tablet line.

I can understand iPad having a physical button on a tablet. But not on Android tablets especially the home button when the recent apps button is not present, cuz most people use this a lot and it's a hassle having to hold and wait.

I think you have a good point about Windows RT tablets selling better if they are a 7 or 8 inch model selling at the 200 to 350 dollars price range because people these days do not want to spend more than 400 dollars for a Tablet.. ACER could have had the top selling Windows 8 tablet if they did not have
that stinky bad screen on the Iconia W3 they had out for sale not long ago

15. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)

I suppose you want it to sell for under $300 as well??

16. brrunopt (Posts: 742; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)

Of couse, i7 and 1TB SSD for $50 .... /s

For a lot of people RT is enouth , and it's a lot better than Andoid and iOS ; the only thing left is more apps but that will come with time..

And now with almost all OEMs out of the picture Microsoft and Nokia have the chance to price it right.

"For a lot of people RT is enouth" Surface sales numbers show that it is not true, maybe you should cahnge it to "For like 1 or 2 people RT is enough"

30. brrunopt (Posts: 742; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)

The surface RT had sold more than 1M by February, for a $500 tablet with tegra 3 and HD screen is acutaly a lot. You could get the same hardware running android for $300.
