Comments on: Nokia allowed to modify Windows Phone while rival OEMs locked out http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-allowed-to-modify-windows-phone-while-rival-oems-locked-out-11132811/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Thu, 17 May 2012 17:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Ma http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-allowed-to-modify-windows-phone-while-rival-oems-locked-out-11132811/#comment-94365 Ma Sat, 12 Feb 2011 19:10:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=132811#comment-94365 Hope that Nokia will not get back to bad habits of early 1980′s Nokia Mikro-Mikko personal computers. They had customized versions of MS-DOS with “Soft-keys” and some other unstandard features. They really ensured that standard programs didn’t work correctly on those machines and needed Nokia’s customized versions of software.

There is a reason Windows computers aren’t skinned. While this is happening to Android I expect as it matures it will happen less and there will be more vanilla hardware available.

It’s the Kin, but on a larger scale :(
