Yet another catastrophic blunder that will cost NOKIA a large fortune.


There's no dispute NOKIA are producing much better hardware now, it's a completely different league to the 5800, 5230, etc... So now stop and ask yourself this question: "Why isn't it selling?"

Windows Phones aren't selling well, Windows 8 tablets aren't selling well, very few people want Windows 8 on their PC. Do you see a pattern here?

Put MeeGo, Sailfish, Symbian, Android, WebOS or Ubuntu on a Lumia and I'd snap it up. Windows Phone is NOKIA's problem, to use an expression made famous by Charles Sax-Coburg Gotha: "It's like a wart on the face of a much loved friend".
Maybe Android, forget Meego, Sailfish, or Symbian. I don't think you get it either. The sales of LUMIAs have increased and all the other garbage has appropriately decreased. It's transition time. I guess they could have gone with Android, but they be: me too crowd with everyone else. With WP they feel they can differentiate better. Again, the competition is brutal and NOKIA of yesterday could not compete. They had no response to iphone or Android and they couldn't code good stuff in house. Hence WP
