WP7: still single-digit % market share. An epic fail platform, only kept alive by Microsoft throwing oodles of cash to keep it afloat.And just because Stephen Elop calls Symbian a ‘burning platform’ doesn’t mean it is true.

No other manufacturer dared to bet its fortunes on an unpopular and unproven platform (WP7), and yet we have Nokia doing just that. Sadly, WP7 (and WP8 a.k.a Apollo) will be the demise of Nokia. Microsoft will eventually acquire Nokia’s smartphone division, leaving Nokia to manufacture only cheap S40 or S30 phones.

I will buy the Symbian-powered Nokia 803: for the nostalgia factor and to show Microsoft the finger.

And yeah, Nokia N8 already has a better camera then iPhone 4S.
N8 has been an unbeaten cameraphone king since it’s release as judged by every relevant test. It even beats a lot of Point-and-shoot cameras and even comes really close to some DSLR’s. This is common knowledge in the smartphone world but I guess some Apple fanboys wouldn’t know that. I actually discovered this site a few days ago and started following, now I’m out because this stupidity pissed me off.
