LG builds crappy products, especially phones (I’ve been unfortunate to own 2 LG Phones). Windows Phone has a high standard for quality that LG can only tarnish. I”m glad (and hope) they stick with Android.

That’s a smart move by LG, why wasting money and time into something that just isn’t selling

Not Nokia! Even their low end Windows Phones are great.

LG phones sucked period. Not a single OEM other than Samsung made any money on Android. In fact, they all lost money.

Microsoft should ditch all third party OEMs, buy RIM and Nokia and become like Apple. See how well those OEMs survive on Google alone.

Hi Ben, this is Ji-hyun Cho from The Korea Herald. I tried looking for your e-mail but couldn’t find it while reading your story on my handset so I’m just writing it down here. It seems like you got the quotes of LG officials and much of the info from the story I published today but I’m just wondering why the source wasn’t listed anywhere here. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Not trying to sound rude but would really appreciate it if you would mention where the story came from next time! Thanks

Last I checked, LG phones pretty much sucked. So I think that’s the problem there.

This is the same company that brought you the Jil Sander phone. They should leave the mobile space all together. I love their refrigerators! lol

LG products aren’t great to begin with. So this really comes as no surprise.

WP isn’t where it’s competitors are and this is just a fact. It has many great selling points, but the restrictions on hardware and it’s continuing lack of apps is hurting them.

That and it’s clear connection to Microsoft. Most people buying smartphones are going with what they know: iOS and Android.

And the only reason Samsung continues to make phones for them is because Microsoft has them locked in with licensing fees and other underhanded negotitions. Same for HTC. Both would dump WP if they could, it’s not profitable.

Oh well….
